that's a coincidence Gratefaldean..I had never heard of them, but saw them live on TV last night.. and I thought they were fantastic. Here is the performance
Badger, I hadn't heard of them either, saw them opening for Drive-By Truckers last fall. They came out playing "Hold On" ... I was dancing almost immediately and did not stop until they left the stage, which is saying something for these old bones. And I walked away with a memento: something frisbee'd from the stage to the crowd at the end of the show -- a setlist written on a paper plate, ended up in my hands.
of WBGO fm since I've been spending a LOT of time in cars lately and they broadcast in my local market, as well as online at www.wbgo.org. If you fancy a jazz fix and can pry yourselves away from the Dead channel on SiriusXM or gdradio.com they are a reliable fix. Even heard them track a selection from the recent David Bromberg/Levon Helm collaboration during the Blues hour (3-4pm ET) as a nod to Levon.
Just making a suggestion. If your mother doesn't like it tell her to write her Congressman...
Dr John -- Locked Down
Justin Townes Earle -- Nothing's Going to Change the Way You Feel About Me Now
I had an expensive day at Record Store Day last weekend...but didn't make it there in time to grab one of three copies of the vinyl Dark Star. But I was there in plenty of time to empty my wallet.
Generally those freebie record company compilation cds are very hit-and-miss -- stuff you love jammed up against stuff you hate, at least in my experience. But...this time through I grabbed a New West Records collection of NPR "World Cafe" live selections, and with a couple of a handfuls of my favorites (Buddy Miller, Steve Earle, Old 97's, Drive-By Truckers, Jason Isbell, The Flatlanders, Tom Morello, Mark Olson & Gary Louris, and more), it was hard to go wrong. I might even give this one a second spin..
Mamas and Grandmamas love you
'Cause that's all they know how to do
But you never planned on those bombs in the sand
Or sleeping in your dress blues.
-Jason Isbell

"From day to day, just lettin' it ride.
You get so far away from how it feels inside.
You can't let go, 'cause you're afraid to fall.
But the day may come when you can't feel at all."

Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange ...
Since I've yet to recieve my Dave's Picks Vol. 2, Been jammin to:
1. Fillmore West, Mar. 1, 1969.
2. Currently in first set of Europe 72, Frankfurt, April 26, 1972, Chinatown Shuffle.
Out-FUCKING-standing!!!!
Despite the dearth of jams, and despite the WOS vocals that sometimes seem to slice right through my head (I've got a fair amount of higher-frequency hearing loss; you'd think that these sibilant vox would help compensate for my hearing deficiencies, but no, instead they sometimes edge over into white noise territory for me-- a little unpleasant), I'm very much enjoying this one.
1978 02 15 Frank Zappa Deutschlandhalle Berlin, Germany
Great new version of a totally epic show from the magnificent Sheik Yerbouti band. too many superlatives ? Hell, no!
Sirius XM, just caught the tail end of 4/28/71, Fillmore East.

Going Down the Road features an additional verse:
I'm going where those chilly winds don't blow
I'm going where those chilly winds don't blow
Going where those chilly winds don't blow
Don't want to be treated this way.
The first time I heard this, I thought that Jerry was singing "I'm going where those shitty winds don't blow." And maybe he was. But probably not.
Beatles -- Magical Mystery Tour. Not exactly a favorite Beatles album, but I've always loved the non-album singles that Capitol included on the US (now the "standard") LP version of MMT. Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever was the first record that I ever bought, it's still one of the best double A-side singles that I've ever heard.
I ran into a "40 best albums released in 1967" list just a little bit ago. I didn't start buying albums until 1969 (too young, no money), so it was a little surprising to me that I had a goodly number of these sitting on my shelf, most in vinyl, and most in vinyl AND CD. A pretty good year, I think:
Grateful Dead -- Grateful Dead
Beatles -- Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Magical Mystery Tour
Jimi Hendrix Experience -- Are You Experienced?
Axis: Bold As Love
Doors -- The Doors
Strange Days
Rolling Stones -- Between the Buttons
Jefferson Airplane -- Surrealistic Pillow
After Bathing at Baxter's
Moby Grape -- Moby Grape
Big Brother and the Holding Company -- Big Brother and the Holding Company
Pink Floyd -- Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Byrds -- Younger Than Yesterday
Aretha Franklin -- I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You
Velvet Underground -- VU and Nico
Cream -- Disraeli Gears
Arlo Guthrie -- Alice's Restaurant
Moody Blues -- Days of Future Passed
Bob Dylan -- John Wesley Harding
The Who -- The Who Sell Out
Donovan -- Mellow Yellow
Otis Redding and Carla Thomas -- King and Queen (and by the way, RIP "Duck" Dunn)
Buffalo Springfield Again
Kongressal 5/18/72 1st set
John Coltrane "Black Pearls" 5/23/58
Dexter Gordon "Our Man In Paris" 5/23/63
Great liner notes blairj, 'cept I like Sugaree's tempo.
The 23rd is a revelation. Own this or the odds may never be in your favor!The 24th is a struggle - Jerry's darn g-string gives him fits repeatedly! But there are plenty of shining moments, including those that wound up on Europe '72.
The 25th is back to position "A". I'm listening to it now and, yes, the Feelin' Groovy is as good as it gets. How can this still be so amazing after 40 years?
The 26th. We know this one. It knows us. Thank you, powers that be. And thank you to my fam for allowing me the spac e to listen to all this magic.
Paz.

Not new, but new to me -- the artist, that is. Checking him out in advance of seeing him open for Todd Snider in a few weeks. What I'm hearing from the album reminds me at times of James McMurtry, of Todd Snider, of Dave Alvin, of Steve Earle. Roosty rocking, great lyrics.
The album was recorded in 2009, mixed/mastered in 2010, the copyright says 2012. What took so long? In the DIY land of what passes for today's music business (see this article by David Lowery, long but worth the time:
http://thetrichordist.wordpress.com/2012/04/15/meet-the-new-boss-worse-…
If you need a reason to support your favorite artists with your dollars, this should drive home the why of it), it probably took that long for Gordon to be able to afford to release the album.
And in true DIY fashion, when you order the CD from his website, Gordon signs it for you, personalized if you wish. Not just once, mind you: signed the digipak, the CD itself, and an insert. Nice.
And to echo Guitarman: RIP Doc Watson.
Just started set 2, via the archive. The version I'm listening to is a SBD/AUD composite, but its such a great show that I didn't try to fine a full SBD to listen to! I suggest giving it a listen.
With Coltrane you've committed an unprecedented breach of conventional listening! I LOVE it....BUT, I really came to attention with Jah Woosh (Neville Beckford - WOOT!) who's always reminded me of my favorite prog-reggae artist Eek-A-Mouse, especially that killer album "Assassinator"....oh my, it's been awhile since I've listened 'in that direction'; thanks for the signpost!
