I recently stumbled across the band Hookworms, they're kinda Spacemen 3 style psych rock, can't get enough of them lately. I'm sure a few of you would enjoy them http://hookworms.bandcamp.com/
(Feels like I'm spamming but I don't know these guys at all...) |

| Nick Drake - Time of No Reply. I like some of the tracks (especially "Clothes of Sand") more than the songs on his real albums. Very nice. |

That Cropper record is great.
I've also been enjoying Soul Sessions 2, and the recent re-masters of the Sugar catalog, and the latest Don Fagen and Bob Mould, and the two Dead Weather records, and the last two Smashing Pumpkins records, and Bringing Down the Horse.
I must warn anyone attempting to follow in my footsteps, do spread these selections out over a few days, or you will get dizzy.

Hey Vuv, you went back to the tube?
Yeah, I really like the Cropper/Royales thing. Opening-up with Steve Winwood on lead vox, followed by Betty Lavette was a pretty good choice, I'd have to say!

Diggin' Gary Clark, Jr.'s rather eclectic first full-length; lotsa soul, Hendrix/Vaughn, Prince influences and a hip-hop tune. What really amuses me is that I so like his playing, but hate his lead tones.
Still, "Bright Lights, Big City" (re-done from the EP or just re-mixed?) shall become a classic.
"You're gonna know my name ..."

James McMurtry, Childish Things: a guest shot from Joe Ely, and some of the greatest, erudite lyrics of the last half-dozen yers - plays guitar, also, and has Dave Grissom and Bukka Allen.
Those Bastard Souls; 20th Century Chemicals: I love me some Grifters, and this is close.
Bob Mould, Silver Age: he's so fucking under-rated it's a crime.
Dr. John, Rhino Best Of: even "Iko-Iko" rocks.
Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, eponymous: I wanna do her even if/as she over-emotes, and the band is shit-hot.
Audioslave, eponymous: too bad about the smashing, because the performances are "A+", and the songs never below a "B".

Man, this is hot stuff that I just got turned-on to. Definitely on my "must get" list, but the vinyl is a little pricey, so I've got to wait for a little more green. 'Tis the season (to not have enough money for all of the new releases).

Ha!
I have a cuppla teens and I was just 'splaining to 'em that two years before the oldest was born I spent 5 daze around Mardi Gras down there, drank in Tipi's, met some local gurrls and some imported strippers (didn't tell the kids that part ), drank a lot and karaoke'd a lot and drank some more and ...
... anywhat, every bar we went in had sing-alongs and that year it was some Garth Brooks tune about latigo (looked it up, "Rodeo"), and "Iko", which was much better, altho' I must have heard it 20 times.
I always wanted to walk on gilded splinters, not stick 'em in my ears (like Garth made me wanna do).
