It is. I rarely give into the temptation of leaks but in this case I made an exception, particularly after reading this review of the record by Raleigh News & Observer music scribe David Menconi (who also penned a book on Ryan a few years ago for the University of Texas Press American Music Series). I have only listened once. While not quite as enthralled as Menconi, I will say the record does have a pervading vibe that hearkens back to Love Is Hell. To my ears, aside from the opening track (which stands out like a sore thumb and sounds like it would have fit perfectly on Ryan's self-titled record from 2014), the remainder of the album has a certain sameness to it. Perhaps that will change upon repeated listenings.Zip City wrote:Leak?Kudzu Guillotine wrote:
I love it. Probably one of my favorite debut records of the past couple decades (hard to believe the album is nearly 17 years old now). It first came to my attention thanks to a friend that started an NC-centric email list in the late 90's called Guitartown that's mainly devoted to alt.country. Being a huge Son Volt fan, she was initially drawn to this record due to the presence of Dave Boquist. His fiddle playing aside, Normal For Bridgwater stands on it's own merits.whatwouldcooleydo? wrote:Nice, I love Beth Orton.

How is the Bruntnell? I have two very good friends in London who are big fans. The only album of his I have is this one, and I like it a lot, though it's been a while since I played it

Some folks may be new to this board who have never heard of it before. Though I was well on my way to being into alt.country before I ever found Guitartown, it played a huge part in my discovery of lots of other artists/bands that I'm a fan of to this day (including Peter Bruntnell). So, it's important to me. I imagine many here feel much the same way about 9 Bullets and this board.Zip City wrote:I like how KG explains the Guitar Town email list like it's the first time he's mentioned it in every single post
Personal foul in the thread! We have over-explaining of Guitartown against Kudzu. Plus this is a repeat violation, also against Kudzu. 15 yards and loss of down!Kudzu Guillotine wrote:Some folks may be new to this board who have never heard of it before.

If you put gun to head, I go summer but I also totally get where KG is coming from. I've been listening to a lot of West African music of late to help "warm up" what passes for winter hereClams wrote:Reggae - summer or winter? Vote now!
