Big Ditch Road (RIYL The Silos, Alejandro Escovedo, Giant Sand)

UncategorizedPosted on July 24, 2006

It's strange for me to post this on An Aquarium Drunkard as it was originally intended for my blog Songs:Illinois. But it was hard to sit and watch this blog go unupdated for more than a week as Justin continues his travels. He'll be back soon with the goodies but for now enjoy the music of Big Ditch.Why must we compare one band to another? I guess it's the easiest and . . .

Don Chambers & Goat :: Reckless Good

UncategorizedPosted on July 11, 2006

One of the many stops on this summer's cross-country fandango was Athens, GA for the 10th annual Athfest. The last Athfest I attended was 2001, right before the Drive-By Truckers broke -- their performance at the 40 Watt that year was the last time I saw them in that intimate of a setting.The act that caught my attention this year was Don Chambers & Goat. Surly, rocked up, country-blues . . .

The Clientele “Strange Geometry”

UncategorizedPosted on June 25, 2006

It's been a couple of days without a post here, so my guess is Justin is in transit as he and his wife continue their freewheeling ways around the country. So, um, hi. I'm Kevin (obligatory link).I'm not sure if Justin has ever featured the Clientele in these parts, but it's a group I think he'd appreciate. The Clientele revive 60s British pop in wistful, dreamy . . .

Zero 7 :: Futures

UncategorizedPosted on June 22, 2006

I had no idea who Zero 7 was until a couple of months ago. A friend's rec and a couple of magizine pieces touting the band's collaboration with Jose Gonzalez piqued my interest in a big way. I have spun the band's latest LP The . . .

Emmylou Harris/Mark Knopfler :: Duets 2006

UncategorizedPosted on June 19, 2006

Upon its Spring release I read a less than flattering review of the Emmylou Harris/Mark Knopfler duets album All The Roadrunning. If I could remember the source of the review I would link it here for your perusal. Thank ye gods I listened my gut and not the critic, as it’s about as good an album as I expected . . .

The Light Wires

(Contributor's note: Hey, Joe here from Each Note Secure, playing guest blogger today while Justin continues his road trip. Check out this great Cincinnati, OH band)Sometimes its difficult to dig into your local music scene and come out with worthwhile bands. Here in Cincinnati we are better known for WKRP than great indie bands like Afghan Whigs.One band that stands out here though is The Light Wires. Leadman Jeremy Pinnell combines Nebraska . . .

Soul Sides :: Volume 1

UncategorizedPosted on June 6, 2006

Here at the Drunkard, we love the old funk, soul, and r&b jams, but rarely touch on it all that often (as there are many well written, well researched sites out there already covering it.) One such website is Soulsides. If you're not hip to them yet, they do a great job, and compiled a fantastic CD compilation album earlier this year. Didn't get around to purchasing it until just before I left Los Angeles for . . .
