What Album Have You Just Bought?

[Low D]

"The Lucky Ones", 1989 LP. Willie's only release from the 1980s, which i used to own in it's original 1985 self-released cassette form, long since dead, and as iTunes mp4s (for some reason the only album of his currently "legally" available in any format).

... and just to show my OCD i've just picked up a CD copy as well. Dang, if i still had the cassette, i'd own it on 4 formats!

In anticipation of the upcoming concert.

Awaiting your review (thinking about catching the show here in town too).

The TD show last night was great. I highly suggest you go, if it's not already sold out (NYC was as well as most of the earlier dates). He played at least two from all 5 albums, was personable and chatty between songs, had a guitar player and drummer, good sound - not too loud. The NYC venue was only 400 tix in a small place where everyone was close. Really, really good especially since the tickets were only $20!

Well, i haven't bought this one, but i downloaded a DVD of an Amy Winehouse concert broadcast on RTE's "Other Voices" series, and i'm ripping the musical portions out and making myself a little live ep. It's just her, a guitar, a bass, and it's marvelous. For my money, the definitive "Back to Black".

Gram Parsons - "Another Side Of This Life: The Lost Recordings 1965-66". Never actually lost, the recordings were made by Parson's home town high school friend on a reel-to-reel. No honky tonk arrangements here, this is a folk album, with some blues, with a mix of covers (Buffy St. Marie's "Codine" is great) and originals from a great talent still finding his voice. Probably for folkies or interested fans only, but it's certainly not hard to listen too.

Gram Parsons - "Sleepless Nights". This collection comes closer to being a "proper" album, and is a worthwhile addition to the collection of any fan of Parsons' work. It would stand out, though, as a comparatively mellow album when stood against his solo & Burritos work.

Nine tracks with The Flying Burrito Bros. recorded in 1970, just prior to Parsons' departure from the band All are covers, leaning heavily to the honky tonk. "Green, Green Grass of Home" was probably unnecessary, and "Honkey Tonk Women" is strangely slow, and I'd have to say superseded by The Stones' "Country Honk" version (which featured Burritto's fiddler Byron Berline). The other seven tracks are great (incl. two by Merle Haggard), if tending towards mid-tempo and slow selections (not a criticism, just no barn-stormers included here).

Three tracks with Emmylou & The Grevious Angels recorded during 1973 sessions for "Grevious Angel" are also great, and were apparently left off in favour of original material, not because they were not up to snuff. (Brand New Heartache, Sleepless Nights, and The Angels Rejoiced Last Night) The "unfinished" nature of the recordings (the masters were mixed by original engineer Hugh Davis & Emmylou in 1976) means they escaped what can only be called the dated production Parsons two solo albums received.

Why not. Only gonna get wasted on my Diet Dr. Pepper addiction anyways. I'm a Pepper!

I was reading about Gleason's time in that play, his regular habit of calling out, until he found out that'd been insured and they were actually making money for any absences. What a pain in the ass.
