So Much For The City…
I recently revisited So Much For The City on a road trip and forgot all over again that these guys are not from rustic California canyon country, but urban Dublin. Well done, fellas...got me again. I was reminded of what a great album this is through and through, a bit derivative yes, but so is everything in 2006. Sooo, if . . .

Joseph Plunkett & The Weight :: Redux
The hard twang continues. For those of you who enjoy the Steve Earle/Dwight Yoakam/Star Room Boys aspect of An Aquarium Drunkard, Do Not miss out on this. On the other hand, for those of you that hate that shit, don't bother downloading. This is hard country recorded in Athens, GA, but I hear they are moving on up to Brooklyn . . .

Vic Chesnutt :: Drunk/Is The Actor Happy?
I do like me some polarizing artists -- makes it more fun somehow. Vic Chesnutt is such an artist; you are either in his camp or you wanna get as far away as possible. Other examples of this include, but not limited to: The Jesus Lizard, any Will Oldham project. What to my ears sounds like raw pieces of brilliance, sounds to some as raw, lazy shit . . .

Tortoise & Bonnie “Prince” Billy :: Covering
Another pic of '70s era BossOn Friday I got a copy of the Tortoise & Bonnie "Prince" Billy collaboration that came out earlier this year. Prior to Friday, I had only let myself listen to their cover of Daniel as I wanted to absorb the album as a whole. So glad I waited -- total re-invention with excellent results . . .

Drive-By Truckers :: Alabama Ass Whuppin’

Red House Painters :: Down Colorful Hill
Down Colorful Hill was the Red House Painters coming out party. Kozelek's haunting angst-rock had found it's way to tape, and the results were both noteworthy and emotionally charged. These harrowing tales of pain became the band's calling card in the years to follow. DOWNLOAD:MP3: Red House Painters :: Medicine BottleMP3:

The Freightwhaler Sessions
Sometime in early 1996, Whiskeytown members Ryan Adams and drummer Skillet Gilmore took some time off after the Faithless Street album to form the short lived alt.country outfit Freightwhaler. Also on board were: Chris Laney (bass); Sloane Doggett (guitar); and Nicholas Petti (pedal steel). These studio-demo recordings are a must have for those interested in early Whiskeytown and/or the burgeoning mid '90s . . .

One of my favorite country singers, Parsons, even at a young age, was able to convey an honesty and truth to his music that only increased with subsequent albums. These tracks, plus an additional one, can be found on the excellent compilation entitled become a member or log in.
Chris Mills :: The Wall To Wall Sessions
"Ashes to ashes, trust to dust, I don't know what it means to be burned by something you love so much, I think I must be living the dream..." -- Chris Mills Chris Mills' Wall To Wall Sessions reminds me of digging through my parents old record collection. The production, the instrumentation, the accompanying vocals...all of it soaked in '70s era sentimentality, minus any of the pastiche. become a member or log in.
