Charles & Eddie - Would I lie to you? Ages since I heard this great song, played loud in the bar this morning to wake up the sleepier customers. I couldn't remember anything about who sang it: a white boy singing black, maybe? But no, it was a bit of both. Sorry to see that Charles died so young. | ||

Le Super Homard - Maple key Well, it's not Stereolab, but it is rather pleasant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9mEYI9u m6Q | ||

Breaking off briefly from shredding an old copy of the only halfdecent thing Irvine Welsh ever wrote into raggedy squares to be looped with a bootlace and hung neatly next to the bog, Bob Dylan - I pity the poor immigrant | ||

Ian Matthews - Never Ending Lovely piano ornamentation from Keith Tippet. IM's excellent first solo album from 1970 also has Sandy Denny & Richard Thompson lending a hand. | ||

Don't Skip Out On Me - Richmond Fontaine | ||

I knew his work with Southern Comfort & Plainsong, Hugh, but not his solo stuff, until shopping in Rome I saw a 3 CD compilation which reminded me: but since his first 2 solo albums have just been rereleased in remastered versions, and I don't much care for compilations, I thought they were a better buy. One of the authors of my Italian Dictionary of Rock is a big fan, and IM gets quite a bit of space therein. Maybe you can direct me to some of his later stuff that's worth getting! | ||

Stuart, As you are already familiar with his work with Matthews Southern Comfort and Plainsong then I would start at the beginning and move forward. He has never made a really bad album in my humble opinion. If You Saw Thro My Eyes was followed by Tigers Will Survive and Journeys From Gospel. He then moved to the U.S.A. where he signed for Elektra who released Valley Hi and Some Days You Eat The Bear And Some Days The Bear Eats You. If you like In Search of Amelia Earhart by Plainsong then there is every chance you will enjoy Valley Hi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0ArbRYR ZzI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-sQfOIX Gb8 I have not purchased anything by him since the release of Zumbach's Coat Link to an interesting article :- http://www.goldminemag.com/news/artist-n ews/search-iain-matthews-mastering-art-o bscurity | ||

Rob Brookman and the Zero Sum - People Puttin' People Down from "The Postman Delivers: A Chicago Musicians' Tribute to John Prine" CD. Nice cover, Rob. | ||

Haha! Fred, how did you find that??? | ||
| Rob Brookman Member Username: Rob_b Post Number: 1805 Registered: 08-2006 |
By the way, my contribution aside, I like that comp a lot. We worked our butts off putting it together. | ||
| Fred Tadrowski Member Username: Ftadrowski Post Number: 32 Registered: 03-2015 |
Rob, I recently purchased the CD at Cdbaby.com. It is a very good tribute CD if I may say. As a Chicagoan, I am familiar with artists on it such as Nora O'Connor, Janet Bean, Rick Sherry and Jason Adasiewicz. | ||

Fred, that's very cool! I didn't know there were any other Chicagoans around these parts, let alone those who bought my Prine tribute. It was a hell of thing pulling it all together. But I think it came out well. Some people (like me) used the source material as a jumping off point, other people played it straighter. My buddy and I got interviewed on XRT's "Local Anesthetic" about it after it came out, which was pretty weird. I'm really glad you like it. | ||
