Maybe too little, too late - but hey I'm new, sorta.

Best case scenario -> a discussion will follow and maybe someone will find a new album to enjoy. Worse case scenario -> someone loses a limb (ambidextrous lose 1 limb plus appendage).

Here's me doing my part:

Towns Van Zandt - 'In Pain' - Poetry from the Texas Troubadour. 'To Live Is To Fly' is a truly beautiful song.

Fela Kuti - 'Coffin for the Head of State' - The album Fela released after the Nigerian govt ransacked his house, killing his mother. Powerful Afrobeat.

The Avett Brothers - 'Live Vol II' - bluegrass/punk/soul. 'November Blue' sums up a specific time in my life as do most of the Avetts' songs.

Akron/Family - 'Love is Simple' - native chants, harmonized screams, my signature, etc.

Andrew Bird - 'The Mysterious Production of Eggs' - if you're a fan of words then you might enjoy AB. I love the way he says 'Proclivities'.

What says you?

great albums above...

that's a cool album from '88 that somehow connects the dots from the meat puppets to the palace brothers

great album by Earth: the Bees made Honey....

everyone needs this record a few times per month

Arizona legends

psychedelic twang

his best record yet...

driving soul inflected free jazz from masters

sounds like a lost David Murray recording from his 70's loft era

definitely the new Steve Earle album Washington Square Serenade

Dax Riggs - We sing of only blood or love

Neko Case - fox confessor brings the flood

Arson Anthem ep

Hank III - straight to hell (i am digging the new one, "damn straight rebel proud, but not as much as its predecessor)

Towns Van Zandt - 'In Pain' - Poetry from the Texas Troubadour. 'To Live Is To Fly' is a truly beautiful song.

rainy day album of all time. have you seen the TVZ bio-film Be Here to Love Me? it is a must-see for anyone who digs the late, great, Townes "way better than Bob Dylan" Van Zandt
