Ordered that one myself, hope it gets here before the postal workers go on strike! (Almost certain, May 25).

Just received the Steve Earle "Record Store Day" I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive 7". While it's also the title of his new album, this song isn't actually on the album. It's a cover of Hank Williams' last single (which shot right up the charts after he died). I think i like it better than anything on the album, actually. A little acoustic-ish honky-tonk, reminiscent of his stuff with The Bluegrass Dukes. The b-side is "This City", which is on the album, and is a nice one, with horns by Alain Toussaint. It features in the new season of Treme as a song written by Earle's character.

How is it? Was eying that on the ebay myself.

Just got a copy of Nick Cave's Abattoir Blues/Lyre of Orpheus at the thrift store, nice pinch! Haven't had a chance to hear it yet, but my copy of The Devil's Guitar has just arrived (ok CUPW, you can go on strike now!) so i've got to program myself some listening time.

''Live on George Street'' by Shanneyganock,great 4 piece band from St.Johns,Newfoundland.Probably means nothing to anyone outside of Atlantic Canada,but they are well worth checking out,any band that does cover versions of Pogues and Wurzels songs gets my vote!

It's only just arrived and I haven't had chance to listen to it yet. And the damn CD player in my car is playing up, so that's a waste of my long commute to work!

Bill Monroe & The Bluegrass Boys - Live at the Mechanics Hall, a recording of a 1963 concert that is notable for a few reasons.

The album features a never-otherwise recorded (officially - there are bootlegs) of a stellar lineup of the Bluegrass boys with fiddler Joe Stuart, bassist Bessie Lee, banjo picker Bill Keith and Del McCoury on guitar. Monroe was 53 at the time of this show, but plays with the same energy & fervor of his youth, and the harmonies are stellar. Monroe's recordings are generally superb, but the early recordings in particular are filled with an insane frenetic energy. In later years, while his albums remained great in their own way, this energy was perhaps best experienced in the live shows. The vocal harmonies, heard live, are just fucking crazy. Clearly, this was the heavy metal of the acoustic world.

Secondly, the show was recorded (with permission) by the then-young not-famous David Grisman, with a single mic & reel-to-reel, 'cause that was one of the only ways to hear bluegrass music on the east coast (this show was in NJ) in the 1960s. Reel-to-reel must have some sort of magic, as i've heard many shows preserved from 50ish years ago by individuals, that sound better than re-mastered studio recordings of the era. This is one. In 2004, with permission from Monroe's son James, and photos from Ronnie McCoury, Grisman released this concert on his own Acoustic Disc label.

If you are a bluegrass fan, this album is probably a must-have. Don't know how i only just heard about it.
