I'll locate the start at my favorite song on this record, but for those who never heard Austin's Glass Eye, I encourage you to listen to the whole album, front to back.  Absolutely sublime art punk from an absolutely legendary Austin band.

Man when I was a kid my sister played this song all the time.

Such a great song.

That's really cool.  Vince Gill tells a story about having Barry Beckett come up to him at one of his first gold record parties, saying "man, that piano intro is awesome, who played it?"

"Uh, that was you, Barry."

I can’t believe this is almost 20 years old.

The verses have sort of a Free sound, the chorus definitely Moody Blues, but that guitar solo just kills me.

I believe they recorded this album at Abbey Road.

Heard this band when they played a SXSW show 20(?) years ago.  

They're not digging any new earth, but it's a pretty solid rock song front to back.  The studio version is sonically better than this one.

I could tell 'Leonid' was the Bass player...because the bass volume is higher than it should be.   But damn fine cover.

Not bad but doesn't quite touch the original.

Damn.  Lenny Williams.  Haven't heard that in years.  And let me just comment on the mix & production -- absolutely perfect.  Sweet reverb on the vocals, drums and percussion panned left, horns split left/right, feels like a great scotch at the end of a long day of work.

I hope the world figures out how to create music this good again.

Pretty much anything by Willie Nile. Dude is criminally obscure for what he is.

 

 

 

The Johnnys also. Highlights of a Dangerous Life is a finominole album.

I'll start with two...

Dengue Fever is an LA band that celebrates the lost Cambodian rock n roll scene that was erased from history by Pol Pot.

 

One of my favorite Massive Attack songs was a collaboration with soul/jazz artist Terry Callier.  It never appeared on a proper Massive Attack album but only on a compilation.  A version of the song appears on Callier's album, Hidden Conversations.
