AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Until I can find tech to allow upload from LP (does such exists?), I'm limited to what's online. Won't stop me, however, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Though I really don't get out much, I do occasionally hear newer stuff. Case in point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) As long as the off-season Football Forum echoes like an abandoned mall, I'll probably keep pestering the crowd in this thread. Ms. Giddens recently left the Chocolate Drops (and apparently broke their website?) Not sure her solo has really taken off yet, but she (with her new band) covers a Cline song well Edited February 13, 2017 by AUinTLoosa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Ms. Giddens has gained a lot of acclaim among the Americana set. Some voice she's got. I hope to see her perform eventually. Really need to get back to Merlefest, hopefully next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Did you know Earl had offspring? Aside to son of Loofus - Though Judy Collins did do a pretty good vocal on this one, I think Joni Mitchell's fit better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can imagine that both ladies knocked that one out of the park. Pretty sure I've heard Joni sing it.

Interesting hole you've chosen (though a bit incestuous? if I'm allowed to say that here). The group you chose here includes Randy (on the right). I fact, I believe that all of these performers were on the "Circle" album, along with the Dirt Band and some Carters. Also on the Circle album was one Josh Graves, the dobro player that the elder Scruggs poached (for his "Revue") in the breakup w./ Mr. Flatt. That's a sort'a segue. Mr. Graves was also featured, in his own right, elsewhere along with: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Jerry Douglas is one of the most talented musicians I've ever seen perform. An absolute giant. What a character Tut Taylor was, RIP. Segues and incestuous musical connections are huge parts of this thread! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLoofus 35,182 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Man, a lot going on with this waterfowl orchestra of yours. Surprised I've never heard of them before. Do/did they tour much? I feel like these guys are Little Feat, except they got sober and started dating Karen Carpenter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to tour (late 60s-early 70s), but I think mostly KY, TN regional. Album I've been sampling here is the one I'm most familiar with, but they had several. I was a little worried about starting w./ the Mercedes cover. There are some in my local circle that would consider any cover of that one a sacrilege.

Damn' I knew better, but listened again anyway. 'Course, Illegal Smile is the only song I've ever heard from him that's even a little cheerful. Saw him open for John Hartford in the Saenger (Mobile, AL, back when). Only thing that kept Mr. Prine upright was a firm grip on his guitar, but performance was musically flawless.

As incongruous as it may seem, given the particulars of the current discussion, I'm bordering on an envy-fueled hissy fit.

Aside to (OP) Mr. Brain - Mind if we weave a sub-thread in here, as to whom we've seen live? arena or small bar? how the experiences influenced what we've bought and/or listened to since? Don't think it should turn into any kind of contest (and not only since I don't get out much anymore, and I know I would lose any such), but might provide some backdrop on taste development?
