Neil YoungPosted on

Over the past couple of years I shared A Perfect Echo Volume I in sections. As promised, here is part 1 of 2, of Volume II, chronicling the years 1978 - 1984. Stay tunes for part two.

For those interested in the back story, here are notes on the series via sharing the groove:

"Braden Strickler has done it again. He's compiled and lovingly mastered, almost exclusively from soundboard recordings, an 8-DISC SET which runs chronologically from August 1967 to January 2001. It's like an expanded version of the "Rock . . .

Lester “Roadhog” Moran & The Cadillac Cowboys

Lester "Roadhog" MoranPosted on

Alright, mighty fine, mighty fine. I hope my brother is reading today (tyler, you out there?), as we've heard the following (bizarre) tracks countless times throughout our childhood on road trips. This shit is ridiculous. But, you know, in that good kinda way.

The scoop is that back in the '70s The Statler Brothers got together and created this spoof on old school, southern, redneck radio hosted by the brilliant, and ficticious, radio DJ Lester "Roadhog" Moran, and his band The Cadillac Cowboys broadcasted . . .

Showered And Blue Blazered…..

The NationalPosted on

The National craft mood music. In the span of four albums and an EP they have created a niche of elegant and dark atmospheric rock bolstered by vocalists Matt Berninger’s languid baritone and everyman poetics.

These are the 21st century blues for those who grew up in the ‘80s. A world view framed by three decades worth of anxiety, mild paranoia, and disappointment. A vision fully, and flawlessly, realized on the group’s third and previous album Alligator.

Now, two years later, The National returns withbecome a member or log in.

Heartworn Highways :: OST

UncategorizedPosted on

The score: "In 1975, the film Heartworn Highways documented the emerging singer-songwriter scene in Nashville and Austin, capturing intimate performances by artists like Steve Earle and Rodney Crowell while they were still struggling to be heard. 30 years later, we have restored these now historic recordings to their original, unedited length and are making them available for the first time ever, in all of their ragged, whiskey-soaked glory.

Featuring the first recordings ever made by Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell and John Hiatt, available for the very first time and previously unreleased acoustic performances by . . .

Sly & The Family Stone :: Reissue Treatment

UncategorizedPosted on

Sly & The Family Stone's catalog got the standard reissue treatment last month. The discs come complete with cleaned up sound and (the now requisite ) extras tacked onto the end on every album. It's also a fine time to append your vinyl copies if you hadn't already done so. More importantly, it's a great reason to post this classic interview with Sly fully tricked out and loaded on The Dick Cavett Show in 1970. Wow.

Daniel Hutchens :: The Athens Flagpole Interview

UncategorizedPosted on

It's no mystery I am a longtime fan of the music of Daniel Hutchens and his band Bloodkin, with Eric Carter. I put their catalog right up there with the likes of Townes Van Zandt, Alejandro Escovedo and Steve Earle in terms of truly capturing the nuances of humanity, both the light and the dark, in song.

Last fall my micro-label Autumn Tone released Hutchens latest LP, become a member or log in.

Rock ‘n’ Roll With The Modern Lovers :: 1977

UncategorizedPosted on

The original Modern Lovers were not together long. In fact, they did not remain intact long enough to see the release of their first album, the absolute classic LP The Modern Lovers. Recorded in 1972 and released in 1976, the album was wayyy ahead of it's time, influencing punk, post-punk and new wave. Hell, it even sounds remarkably fresh today.

Ethiopiques :: Volume III

UncategorizedPosted on

If you tune into my radio shows, or podcast, you may very well recognize the Eshete & Beqele song "Temeles" off of Ethiopiques Volume III. It's funky.

Kicking of with a blast of horns that would make bandleader Fred Wesley proud, the track quickly dives into its snake charmer funk vibe, coming up . . .

Terry Callier :: You Miss Your Candyman

I intentionally posted this drop-dead, badass soul jam yesterday - sans editorial commentary - for a reason: I thought the album art alone was enough to pique your curiosity. Apparently it did judging by these two readers comments. If you have not already grabbed this one, do it now.
