Listenings

Enough with the politics, it's Friday so let's begin the national healing. I posted this before, but somehow it got deleted. Anyway, here are 4 of my current favorite albums:

New Roman Times - Camper Van Beethoven : The triumphant return of the CVB and a concept album no less! To the wankers who thought they sold out with Key Lime Pie (15 years ago of course) go ahead and pass this one up since it's closer to the fidelity and catchiness of that disc than anything from the "Joe Stalin's Cadillac" days. But just so you know, you're missing out - BIG time.


Sun Tangled Angel Revival - Kevn Kinney: The southern rock king blends country, gospel, and some good ol psychedelic jam boogie oogie into a very, very solid disc. Probably his best solo effort since MacDougal Blues. Doesn't hurt that my old roommate is the bass player.

Oaxaca - Vince Guaraldi: Finally released by his son after 33 years in the vault. Really laid-back instrumental funk grooves by a master of the Fender Rhodes. One cannot deny a 16 minute cover of "You Can't Always Get What You Want"

The Delivery Man - Elvis Costello: Hits a little harder than anything I've heard from him previously. When Emmylou drops in for two tracks, it gets sublime.
