Old Crow Medicine Show - Troubles Up and Down The Road EP

Might as well throw this in while I'm at it. This is a limited edition EP that was released in 2001, I'm guessing sometime after Eutaw. This is one of my favorite Old Crow discs.....it's just a young eagar band playing good old timey music. The first track Rub Alcohol Blues is killer. Alos features probably the earliest recorded version of Wagon Wheel (barring Bob Dylan's original) that has a nice steel guitar on it.

(excerpt from liner notes) The Old Crow Medicine Show was kicking around the foam house in Whites Creek the other day. All the boys were there and all their dogs too, hanging round the hoods of various junk cars, spitting and smoking, laughing and joking. Someone started talking about Prince's Hot Chicken Shack which is down the way from the old Crows nest on Dickerson Rd. Dill pickles and greasy chicken laid over two slices of Bunny Bread. Of course we immediately started thinking about our buddy Dub who kept Prince's in business through some of the lean years. Then someone remembered a recording we made for Dub back in September, the Dub dub as it was then known.

Old Crow Medicine Show - Live at the World Cafe EP

'kay, so I was gonna post their second album Eutaw which I thought was out of print. Well turns out they just re-released it a couple weeks ago....Check it out. If you enjoy Old Crow, you'll surely like that. What I can give you though is this live EP from iTunes they put out shortly after OCMS became a runaway success. It's a pretty good EP I have to say, good slow plucked banjo version of Wagon Wheel on here.

Old Crow Medicine Show - Live At The World Cafe

More Neil coming...right now, some fine mixes...

got some Neil Young boots coming up...mid 70s stuff mostly. Also further down the pipe I've got a few Truer Samplers lined up. These include Slobberbone, Chris Knight and A Truer Easter at the end of the month.

What I got for you right now though are a few mixes made by some friends over at altcountrytab.ca. They include Michael Hurley (Snock), Jim White, Butch Hancock, Peter Case, John Hartford, and one of all canadian artists. So thanks to all those guys over there for their hard work....these are some great mixes folks, I especially enjoyed the Snock and Jim White as they were both semi-new to me.

Been on kind of a Neil Young kick lately....

as if you couldn't tell....

Both songs from "Time Fades Away"....call it a preview if you will.

More classic Neil (last song is also from Time Fades Away....just to keep tying it together)

Neil Young - Time Fades Away (Out of Print)

This is reportedly Neil Young's least favorite album. Must conjure up bad memories for him....whatever the case this album has been out of print since shortly after it's release in 1973. Known as the first album of Neil's "Ditch Trilogy" (which includes On The Beach & Tonight's The Night) after reaching success with Harvest and not knowing how to handle it.....to quote Neil he "headed for the ditch". It's a pretty good album and a shame that it's officially unavailable. That may be remedied sometime soon what with all the Neil Young Archive releases coming out (and damn how good was Fillmore and Massey Hall....amazing releases).

Neil Young - Time Fades Away

Buffalo Springfield - The Missing Herd (Rarities and Live)

This is a treat right here. A set of rare and live proto country-rock pioneers Buffalo Springfield. If you don't know it was Stephen Stills and Neil Young's band in the mid 60's (along with Richie Furray of Poco). The second disc of this, the live stuff.....is damned good. The rarities are good too, but I find myself spinning the live disc alot more. Features some of my favorite Buffalo Springfield songs: Mr. Soul, A Child's Claim to Fame and Bluebird (check out the extended mix at the end of disc one and the live jam at the end of disc two). If you like Neil Young......you'll probably like this one........it's got Neil Young roaring guitar work all over it.

for the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season...

God I love this. Love it when Neil stands up and they just rip into Mr. Soul....also gotta love those mutton chops and moe howard hairdo

Guy Clark - Keepers Outtakes

Wow! Does it get much better than this? Not really. This right here is an amazing set. The REST of what Guy Clark recorded for his Keepers album (which in it's own right was near perfect). Now we have the ones that weren't keepers......the leftovers. All I've got to say is whoever chose the "keepers" had a hell of a job picking them out, cause to these ears they are all keepers.



Now the compiler of this has omitted the official tracks (the ones released on keepers) but I'm sure most of you guys have it anyway. What's cool is to add the official tracks in with the leftovers and you have 3 excellent (though repetitive) Guy Clark shows.

Bob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks (The New York Sessions)

It's a Dylan two-fer. Probably my other favorite Bob Dylan album. The story on this is that Bob Dylan recorded the whole album in New York but scrapped most of the songs, then went back to Minneapolis and re-recorded them with his brother. This here be the original sessions.

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited Again (Outtakes)

Here we have some excellent outtakes from one of my favorite Dylan albums. This is good stuff here folks. The accompanying info says this was dubbed off studio acetates. I promised this a while back so just thought I would (finally) deliver.

All you ever wanted to know about Highway 61 Revisited
