Slate from Anodyne.

My buddy owned a record store and told me to get the disc. Been hooked ever since.

I know it sounds weird and but I thought Jay sounded like a mix between Lowell George and Neil Young. Funny, don't hear that anymore. But it's still a voice sent from heaven.

American Central Dust has been in heavy rotation. It's down home Jay and it scratches me right where I itch. I think it'll be one of those albums I come back to for years to come. But for me Anodyne is the one that feels like coming home. It was my intro to Jay and Slate was the song I'd been waitin...

Hanging Blue Side at an Outback Steakhouse. One of my favorite Jay tunes and an obscure one at that! Made my day.

Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. The music is so fresh and sounds like nothing else. Sam is a true talent. Just like my man Jay.

Jackson Browne

Can't believe I'm 37 years olds and I'm just getting into Jackson now. Of course I know the classics but never listened to his entire catalogue until recently. Late For the Sky is an album that deserves its place among the great albums of the 70's. Anybody else on the board a fan? Always curious wha...

Okemah (I hate the OATMOR acronym) was Jay's low point, hands down. I know you love it, and that's cool as I know others do too. But I would argue that Okemah is easily the most divisive album when it comes to fan's preferences. Medication and Atmosphere were the class of that album. Chaos Streams ...

The ones that don't get talked about

Make It Alright.

One of the gems. Up there with Barstow, Chaos Streams, Dues and a host of others.

Just makes you realize, they're all good when you give 'em a good listen.

Except Sultana. That one sucks balls. The rest of them? Genius.

The National

A buddy just told me to check them out. I know nothing. Any info/thoughts/insights?

If it's a good recommend, where should I start?

Joints. Lots of joints.

Life if sad, life is a bust.
All you can do, is do what you must.

The must part is setting an example for your kids.

Hang in there fellas.
