Jay Farrar

The Jayhawks ‘Xoxo’: No Olson but songwriting and vocals from the entire band. I like having the new voices. O’Reagan’s songs are terrific. And I like Perlman’s song, too.

I enjoyed that, Tupelo son. Nice!

Nice! Thanks for the link. Union and Afterglow 61 were especial highlights for me. Have they done that almost a cappella (just Jay and Andrew with drum backing) on Windfall before? That was great.

Really good sound for the vast majority of the show.

Many years ago a board member put a Howlin’ Rain song on one of the yearly roundups. I loved that song and somehow thought of them yesterday. Looked, and am now listening to their latest, “The Alligator Bride.”

Thanks! Now I’m listening to Caamp. Never heard this before. Very nice.

Drive-by Truckers ‘The Unraveling’. It’s stuck inside my brain.

I guess it’s a pretty straightforward rendition but I really enjoyed hearing it after probably several years. (It’s followed by The Beat Farmers ‘There She Goes’ and I see The H...

I thought it was something gone wrong on my end. Glad to see the board back up.

Terrific review, grainpulp. Wonderfully written. Thanks.

With all the mentions of The Hold Steady (which I’m unfamiliar with), I’m giving it a listen now. I really like "You’re a Good Kid" and (playing as I write) "Traditional Village."

Wilco "Ode to Joy." I’ve listened through a couple of times now and have four tracks I like. Most of it puts me to sleep (especially the first four songs). Like: Everyone Hides, White Wooden Cross and a couple of others.

Fantastic! And, yeah, you’re right about the lyrics. "take back the angry fat man..."
Thanks for posting this.
