This is a nice collection of some unreleased and live songs. A few of these songs are available on the excellent Son Volt Retrospective (buy it if you don't have it), but the majority of these are fairly hard to come by. The ones that are on the retrospective are indicated with an asterisk. Some standout tracks are the "Windfall" demo, the wonderful cover of Towne Van Zandt's "Rex's Blues" with Kelly Willis (This track is so good it's worth having twice!), the acoustic version of "Drown", the Byrds' "Truck Stop Girl" (with Kelly Willis again)....pretty much all the Kelly Willis songs are outstanding. The live version of "Tear Stained Eye" is pretty damned good too. Also of note is the version of "Lookin' At The World Through A Windshield" on here which is different from the one on the retrospective (which is from the Rig Rog Deluxe album).

ReplyDeleteSorry. For future reference it's on the sidebar.
I'll start including it with each post though.
"freedom of information act of 2001" and all the rest of it.
ReplyDeleteGolly. Why then, if Bill Clinton and the U.N. are on your side, doesn't rollingstone.com offer every album free? Why don't YOU set up your own dot com and give away every Johnny Cash album?
Just put that fancy little wordplay about "freedom of information."
Or are you the doucheboy who doesn't know squat?

KEEP POSTING!
ReplyDeletePOST A LOT OF STUFF!
BECOME FAMOUS! THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT.
USE SHAREBEE AND THE BIGGER NAMES THE BETTER.
EMMYLOU HARRIS IS A GOOD START.
To the above. That seems a little delusional, I'm just tryin' to get some music that hardly gets any exposure heard.
ReplyDeleteHey you're just tryin' to get some music heard.
ReplyDeleteEvery artist you mention is probably thanking you for it. "Please come to my gigs and tape record my shows." "Please copy off my DVD soundtrack and throw it around." "Please tell everyone that asking permission first is just not the redneck way."
Hell it would take too much time to contact Todd or Emmylou or any of these people and ask "Can I put your music on my blog and say I was authorized." Nah. Why do that.
Besides THEY MIGHT SAY NO.
Thanks for the SV rarities. Always love to see that stuff.
ReplyDeleteNevermind the idiots--since, from a quick glance, you seem to be posting stuff that is NOT commmercially available and posting buying links to the stuff that is, you're doing exactly what a music blog ought to do.
