George Porter with Professor Longhair

Okay, I suppose the Heads posts were enough of a segue to steer us out of the indie/alt.country/folk territory for awhile and into some deep New Orleans funk & soul. And I do mean funk, this shit is greasy -- gets right under your fingernails funky.

Humid, hot, sticky grooves -- damn, it really is that . . .

Return Of The Grievous Angel :: A Tribute

UncategorizedPosted on

There have been many a "Gram parsons tribute album" over the past 30+ years, but this 1999 release is one of the best. A major factor being Emmylou Harris's involvement, lending both credibilty and her amazing talent to the project. Most of the usual suspects are in attendance (Wilco, Whiskeytown, Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, etc.) -- as well as some surprises (Elvis Costello . . .

PASTE Magazine :: Daniel Hutchens

UncategorizedPosted on

Well, I was going to try and keep things under wraps until a proper website was up and running, but recent events (PASTE magazine's best living songwriter poll) have changed that. An Aquarium Drunkard has started a small label called Autumn Tone Records, and I am honored that one of our first releases will be none other than Daniel Hutchens.

So Much For The City…

UncategorizedPosted on

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

UncategorizedPosted on

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?

UncategorizedPosted on

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 . . .
