Grayson Capps :: New Orleans Waltz

UncategorizedPosted on July 26, 2006

Grayson Capps' album If You Knew My Mind traveled across, and around, the country with me this Summer emanating hot and humid stories from the deep South set in and around Louisiana. Perhaps it was a preview -- a primer -- for the New Orleans I was to travel to, two weeks ago. This, my 13th visit to the Crescent City, while very enjoyable . . .

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 . . .

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 . . .
