Hi Doc- just wondering what you think of Albert Lee's Roadrunner. i listenned to some samples on Amazon
is there lots of krazy chickin' pickin'?

FMA · April 12th, 2006, 07:55 AM

The Gourds -- Heavy Ornamentals. If you haven't heard this one yet, or any other Gourds, go out right now and get it. Great record. Very cool stuff, eclectic and always surprising. Weird, dadaesque lyrics. Get it.
Deadstring Brothers -- Starving Winter Report. Saw these guys at the Bloodshot party at SXSW. Think of a mix between Exile on Main Street Stones and the Band.
James McMurtry -- Childish Things. Great songwriter. The tune Can't Make It Here Anymore is incredible.
Also, looking forward to new Drive By Truckers, out next week, I believe.
And Doc, saw the Peter Case show at SXSW, featuring Case, Bill Kirchen, McMurtry and Joe Ely. Killer show...

Cassady · April 12th, 2006, 08:05 AM

I have one of those little CD holders that fit on the sun visor of my truck and its current contents are:

Al Stewart - Greatest Hits
Wilco - A Ghost is Born
Willie Nelson - Red Headed Stranger
Waylon Jennings - Honky Tonk Heroes
Elvis Presley - Sunrise (disk 1)
Jake Shimabukuro - Dragon
George Jones - The Essential George Jones Spirit of Country (two disks)

Not much is too "current" except for "Dragon" and (maybe) "A Ghost is Born", but they're all recent purchases.

The production is pretty slick, but Albert's tasty pickin' permeates most songs. The more rollicking contributions will definitely satisfy, especially the 7+ minute "Payola Blues", which is LOADED with great picking. I also downloaded "That's Alright Mama", a collection of tracks from the late 60's with two bands, "Country Fever" and "Black Crow" (I've seen it refereed to as "Black Claw" also, but the cover art says"Crow") - there's a lot of great stuff on there, too, which brings me back to the good ol' days when 145 Guy & I sat around drinking Schlitz and listening to Heads Hands & Feet! 8)

FMA, you're killing me! I HAVE to get to SXSW next year!! You didn't happen to catch Grace Potter and the Nocturnals down there, did you?

FMA · April 12th, 2006, 10:43 AM

Sorry about that...
Didn't catch Grace. Too much music; too little time...
The Case show was great. All of those aforementioned guys were terrific. McMurty really tore the place up, though.
Brief story about Ely.
He was having a good time and between songs announced that he was having so much fun that he felt like playing all night long and he said, "Well, it is Saturday night."
There was an awkward silence.
Problem was, it was Friday night and some in the audience yelled out that it was, indeed, Friday.
Ely asked, "It's Friday? Really?"
He turned to his accordion player, who nodded that it was Friday.
And he asked, "Are you sure?"
He then pretended to take his guitar off and say, "Good night!"
He stayed and played like it was Saturday night...

kingnimrod · April 12th, 2006, 11:39 AM

I buy so much music that I can't remember a lot of what I buy, but here are some recent ones:

+ slo-mo: the Creep

+ Ananda Shankar: 2CD retrospective

+ Joe Meek: Portrait of a Genius box set

+ Jack Rose: Kensington Blues

+ Psychic Ills: Dins

+ forthcoming Melvins remix album

+ Leviathan / Sapthuran split

Tony · April 12th, 2006, 12:41 PM

Led Zepplin - #1
Led Zepplin - #2
Todd Snider - East Nashville Skyline

Arhooliegeorge · April 12th, 2006, 01:17 PM

I just got this great boxed set from Proper Records, very cheap but four CDs. Its called Bopping Hillbilly and Red Hot Rockabilly. Features folks like Rose Maddox, Eddy Arnold, Carl Perkins, Elvis, Marty Robbins, Merle Kilgore, Faron Young,......

An awful lot of listening!

I also have the new Morrissey album - not impressed so far. Great songs but man that band of his are stale.

And the re-release of Life in the Bush of Ghosts by Eno and David Byrne is getting a lot of spins.

lobotomyactivist · April 12th, 2006, 03:20 PM

Rhett Miller's new solo record, The Believer, is pretty good. He's always been a fantastic songwriter and while his relevance seems to vanish when he's without the Old 97's, he can still write some mean pop rock. And his live shows are still mindblowingly long and energetic.

Gordon, rimbaud country · April 12th, 2006, 03:32 PM

someone said David Byrne ... the reissue of Talking Heads / Fear Of Music is getting a lot of listening here right now. It's one of those records that really affected me years back, then kind of slipped away, and hearing it again now is a revelation.
I picked up the new Morrissey album too and I don't think it stands comparison with that band he used to sing in, but it's still a guilty pleasure, his kind of Dirk Bogarde style rocker act as some journalist put it. He still has a class that puts him leagues ahead.
And new new stuff? An album called "éclat" by a german band called Monochrome, and Howe Gelb of Giant Sand's album with a gospel choir called "'sno angel". All great stuff.

Tele295 · April 12th, 2006, 06:56 PM

Janiva Magness - Do I Move You - great West Coast blues!

Maybe not new, but new to me:

BB King - Anthology
John Patton - From Memphis to New York
Very Best of Albert King (Rhino Blues Masters)
