We had Wes on The New OK as well
That's right! I forget that was between AB and The Unraveling, not before.

Re: Welcome to Club XIII

Also, how is it that, 14 posts in, no one has mentioned yet that we're back to Wes artwork??!

Maybe I'm superstitious, but I think that bodes well for the record. :D

Re: Welcome to Club XIII

I really like the single! Am I really in the minority here? That Radio Tokyo line is gold. And I'm also happy that Billy Ringo made the cut. I think that's one of Patterson's best in years. Excited for this. Also--not to start a big thing--but I'm happy to read that this will be a "less political" a...

Regardless of political views fans should respect this fact. It’s simply doesn’t exist enough in today’s music.

Re: Isbell on Political Songs and Songwriting

I think Jason can be an artist who is making so-so music that has drifted away from his early roots without being a Machievellian Nashville "goblin". Jesus Christ His music is beside the point, as are his politics. It is his online persona I find insufferable (this recent flap is just the latest ex...

For that matter, I also think BTCD would be a stronger album if they cut the weakest five songs (although I realize we'd never find a consensus on which five that means).

Some of yall are being entirely too hard on this album. Two listens in, I already prefer it to AB. I think the entire first side, in particular, is terrific. The album it most closely reminds me of is GGB, which I realize is not an especially popular one around here, but given that it's probably my ...

Re: Adam's House Cat- Town Burned Down RELEASED!

Wasn't sure I was going to like the re-recorded vocals but I think Patterson did a good job capturing the vibe of the original recording. The new vocals fit perfectly somehow. Nice to have this album in good quality, it's a good one!

Re: Never Had Such A Good Time/The Grateful Dead Thread

Any mix that favors Keith is ok by me! He's by far the most underrated member of the Dead imo. Also, Bobby's playing on a lot of this is revelatory. I can listen to Jerry solo all day, of course, but it's cool to hear the other guys so prominently for a change. Really makes you appreciate the fact t...

Decided to sit out the Dave's Picks subscription this year. I'm drowning in 70s Dead, and I didn't even open the last two they sent. I also missed the 'early bird' window, so it's tougher to get inspired to take the plunge. But yeah, I generally feel like the series favors 70s shows (and--don't get ...
