I bought it on a subscription from the band and the condition was crap sadly, bacon frying on several tracks and fingerprints where it had been slid into it's PAPER sleeve. When will they learn? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, pressing is average - cleaned it prolly 20 times - side one is pretty good, side 2 a bit noisier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that kind of sums it up Shane and it's a shame because it really is a smashing album, they're a a talented experienced bunch. I'd like to get a good pressing as everytime I pick it up I'm sorta; Yeah...nah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyse1 Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 So good to be back in my very own rock roll Hall Of Fame and my most prized possession the imac and the graphics Been too hot So much better than that excretable Rolling Stone one Where Record sales and dull lifeless music are a pre requisite for entry Or so it seems to me I mightn’t have the memorabilia but I’ve got the heart and soul of it along with the kings and queens of country music Like Steve Earle Think I’ve got every record since he got out of jail in the early 90’s Politics country music and electric guitars even a funeral song How could anyone not like it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyse1 Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 I’ve owned this for decades Probably since the seventies Now it’s up on the wall (where records belong) as part of the Hall Of Fame Tom Paxton was a 60’s folkie in Greenwich Village and this was his first ever record Some of the songs are dated but 3 of them Ramblin Boy ,The Last Thing On My Mind and Can’t Help But Wonder Where I’m Bound will be sung as long as people play music Also a great song about Cisco Houston a travelling with Woody Guthrie left wing folkie I guess playing all those protest songs has worked removing you know who I think I’ll keep listening to them though There’s more removals needed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emesbee Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) Old Man Luedecke - Tender Is The Night A 2012 CD by Canadian singer / songwriter Chris Luedecke. This one has been sitting in my 'to be played' pile for quite some time, only just got around to having a listen. Its quite an enjoyable collection of songs. Along with Chris Luedecke on vocals, banjo and guitar, there is Tim O'Brien on vocals, mandolin, fiddle, bouzouki and guitars (I have one of his albums somewhere), Mike Bub on bass and Kenny Malone on percussion. I think this is one of many CDs I bought from Rev Music (now closed) over the years. The owner, Greg, used to get a lot of CDs in on consignment usually at fairly cheap prices and generally in pretty good condition. (I miss that shop.) PS: Its worth checking out some of his live acoustic videos on YouTube, some recorded at his home in Nova Scotia. Very simple and very good. Just click on some of the links at the end of the videos I posted below.

Had the pleasure of seeing him twice. Once at one of the Bluegrass festivals and while he was here for that, he was happy to trek out to Upwey and play at the monthly Mountain Pickers Club night. Puts on a great show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only really just discovered him (despite having that CD lying around for a long time). What you say probably doesn't surprise me, just based on the few videos I've looked at so far. Would certainly like to see him perform live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyse1 Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Listening to John Prine Well What else would you listen to while waiting to head down to the cafe for a malted milk Wonderful record of duets with women on this collection of country music weeping in to your beer songs Topped off with a solo performance of a Hank Williams piece of maudlin writing under the guise of Luke The Drifter If there is a parallel life I can just imagine Hank Williams and John Prine singing along together 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyse1 Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) Listening to the Woody song in the car this morning First it was a book Then it was a movie Then one of the characters became a song Then another song Then it got updated by Tom Morrello And in a hundred odd years it never loses its immediacy of injustice unfairness and the downright ugliness and abuse of power and wealth Edited December 11, 2020 by keyse1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyse1 Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 Yesterday I playlisted Justin’s original versions with Steve’s covers I don’t think Steve’s versions are better or in some cases as good but it’s a fitting tribute to his son And as a stand alone record it is seriously good with a killer band and Steve’s gravelly vocals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emesbee Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Just revisiting this one, Dirt Farmer by Levon Helm. I picked this one up a few years ago at a music sale, think I might have posted something about it before, but can't quite remember when that was. Levon Helm was in remission from throat cancer when he recorded this in 2007. Co-produced by his daughter Amy, who also sings and plays mandolin and percussion on some of the songs. Its good down to earth no nonsense stuff. I currently have an order placed for his 2010 follow up album Electric Dirt. Both albums were well received at the time. Sadly, his cancer returned, and he passed away in 2012. Edited January 10, 2021 by emesbee 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
