Seems much more "soda poppy" or "bubble gummy" than what I remember hearing from her...

This song just came on and my wife says:  "What's this band again?  Something like 'Pancake and the Sewing Machine'?"  Obviously I told her that was exactly correct.

 

haven't we moved on from dave matthews yet?

Perhaps "Decide what you would like to be and try your damnedest to be it, but if it doesn't work out don't beat yourself up because life is difficult enough so just be content that you gave it the old college try and hey you're only human so crack a cold brewski take a deep breath and enjoy life's short but rich pageant" would have been more appropriate, if less succinct, and probably more difficult to set to music.

yeah, it's a huge ripoff. song is still good, but all i think of when i hear it is "Home"

Wow... does every male artist added to the RP playlist in the last few months either sing in a falsetto or whisper?

Yay for bluegrass

Agreed. I went through something similar when I was 19. My girlfriend didn't die, but our relationship never recovered from the abortion. That child we chose to kill is a shadow that walks beside me daily. "A woman's right to choose" is simply bullshit. There are 2 parents.

Ashokan Farewell is a beatiful song, but it sounds very much like a famous song about the Australian bush called Walzting Matilda which is often used as a substitute to the Australian national anthem.

Waltzing Matilda was originally written as a poem in 1887 by Banjo Patterson and didn't have music put with it until 1903.

Here's a youtube vid of Walzting Matilda played as a simple instrumental to compare with Ashokan Farewell:

And here's a more up-beat version with lyrics which is how it is more commonly played:

Donald fagen's voice oozes cooool...

In Asheville NC -October 9th at the Orange peel ,should be a great show plus St.Vincent

It feels like I'm missing something.  This song sounds like it belongs in a musical where the protagonist has a contemplative moment.

So, are you saying that musicians are only allowed to write songs about things they've experienced personally?

The Beatles really went on a Yellow Submarine, and rode Across The Universe?

David Bowie really went into orbit with Major Tom?

The Crash Test Dummies really attended Superman's funeral?

Right Said Fred really is Too Sexy?

Britney Spears really Did It Again? Well, alright, I'll give you that one.

A-ha's lead singer really took a girl into a newspaper comic strip?

You seem to want rather narrow musical boundaries.

Paul McCartney wrote a song for you. It's called "Silly Love Songs."

I never tire of this song.

I jumped at it when I had the chance,
I joined the army and I went to France
At Roosevelt's request.
Two weeks of sitting in the mud
Made me lie to the man that I could drive a truck
For the Red Ball Express.

All we do is keep it rolling on
Trading bodies for petroleum
Heating rations on the manifold
And never sleep enough to dream about home

Dear Ms.Crow, Thanks alot for not releasing another lame song.

 I do, however, have a complaint.
 
 
Now that everyone knows that you can achieve your musical potential, we have something of value to reference when you're sharing a greasy mic with Kid Rock or some other wonder of nature.

He does have an original boner on his album cover, though.

The Flaming Lips put on the craziest show I've ever seen including crowd surfing in a giant bubble, throwing like 50 huge blue balloons out for the crowd to bat around, and having the entire crowd sing the chorus to "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" acapella in an attempt to "stop traffic on Lakeshore entirely through the power of singing."

With a band name like "Garbage" and a song entitled "Queer", do you think these guys are trying to punch our buttons?

Now now girls. At the end of the day - his bank account, record sales, sold out gigs speaks volumes. The man is a f***** musical great, FACT. By the way, I can't play the guitar - is that why he sold awesome to me!

Rilly? Your friend's friend?

Drugs? God no! Paula is just in a spiritual... I mean, she's just on a higher plane... she's - No, I can't. She's totally on drugs.

FOX

Chocolate bunnies!

Hey guys, I really, REALLY hate to burst your collective bubbles, but I learned something today...
It's interesting that he's talking about Johnson County, of which there is one in Tennessee, and Knoxville, which there is one in Tennessee. However, Knoxville is a town in Johnson County, Arkansas. Also, in another song (Johnny Come Lately), Steve Earl also sings of Camden and London. Camden is a town in south Arkansas, and London is a town on I-40, east of Knoxville and west of Russellville... again, in Arkansas. Maybe Arkansas, maybe Tennessee, but being an Arkansasn (From Russellville, and gotten drunk at plenty of parties in both Knoxville, and London), I'd like to think he's singing about us!

This sounds like old time strippin' music

I don't really get the vocals or their rather bland melody, but maaaan I do love that fiddle & banjo!
(Is it a banjo, or a guitar played banjo-style?)

How's the rest of this album?

am i the only one who hates this band?

I remember buying Malcolm several beers and a couple of sandwiches on several ocassions after had just independently released his first CD back in the mid 90s, selling it at his local gigs here in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee. He used to sleep in his car, was dirtier than dirt poor. The guy's talented and, at least in those days, tortured.

I'm glad he's still alive, and glad he's still making music.

I just popped in here to say that it sounds like Peter Gabriel. But you guys already covered it.

I have been tempted to upload some of her music to the LRC since I have all of it. Think anyone wants to hear it? I think she is wonderful, but was afraid someone would abuse her. She does have a unique voice.

Patty Griffith is the female background vocals

The dobro player (whose name escapes me, but he's well-known and widely regarded as among the best)

Reminds me more of Lou Barlow.

Joni Mitchell at the peak of her powers.

Man and I thought spam was a waste of bandwidth.

It has a couple of crappy songs on it but for the most part it's a pretty sweet album. My favourites are Soothe, Whir, Obscured, Starla and La Dolly Vita. Pretty slow ones, but damn good.

Get a Michael Stipe vibe.

Good tune , though.
8.

I uploaded David Ford's "State of the Union" which is an even better track off this album (with much more passion than this one, BTW). However, my theory is that it got rejected by Bill's profanity filter ;-) which is fine - but at least it was heartfelt profanity, apropos of the times.

Poor cover but overall Gnarls Barkley has about 5 or 6 strong tacks on their new CD including 'Crazy' which by the end of its run will have achieved Outkast 'Hey Yeah' levels of overexposure.

Cool! As soon as I heard the voice I thought of the Horsflies' "I Need a Plastic Bag to Keep My Brains In" and "Time is Burning."

Glad to see these guys are still playing, even within the context of a different band. Two thumbs up!

About a month ago I was driving through Johnson County Tennessee, Along a winding two lane going across "copperhead ridge"
...this song was on the radio coming over from North Carolina,

it faded out just when we crossed into Johnson County.

true story.

Okay, straight from TMBG into this...god damn I love RP. ^_^

digg'in this tune!
Sounds a tad like Bryan Adams, but with some GRIT.

*still haven't heard this song*

I always thought "now" was a one-syllable word

Bad song. go to your room

best

pumpkins

album

ever

These guys are obviously heavy drinkers. Definetly not Earl and Scrubbs.

I'm diggin this tune everytime I hear it. Heard a lot about Old 97's but I've ever looked into them much. Any recommendations on where to start?

What a beautiful song. I grew up with a radio for a toy too...

My favorite tuba/banjo combo ever!

Chevy Chase plays all the instruments on this song. Superb.

Does this just sound like it or are they sampling Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man"? :-k

That's true. Except there are talented folks working in Hollywood who still manage to produce some great movies. That can't really be said about Nashville. Too many like Raitt, Williams, Nelson etc... just driven away by the rampant corruption of the Nashville system.

The man don't have the world's greatest voice, and his lyrics are hit-and-miss, but he can play a guitar like nobody's business, and his knack for penning music that moves me is a gift for which I am grateful. I have shown my gratitude by buying just about every album/disc he's associated with, and I'm always happy to hear that there's another one available.

Time to buy myself a gift!

This guy sounds just like that group...memory failing me...
sang that tune.
" ..never wanna look that way,
you're Cousin IT!
DROWN!
Never try so hard!"

Just thought to look under MUSIC, Son Volt!

Me too and that's why I muted it.

I don't disagree with ya, but I guess I take the "better some than none" view. And you and I both know there are some who know none of Bela. And that's a shame.

This is nice, but I really liked the Bluegrass Sessions. Got anything there, Bill?

ok, ok, this is kind of fun, but it's not THAT good.....

.

Bob found a person who sounds worse than he does.

I would welcome hearing Metheny's music an elevator. In my experience, it is almost always a Montavanni version of something like "The Girl from Ipanema(sp?)"

I'm so glad to see this song added to the main channel and hope it shows up soon in the playlist.

Add some Cramps too :D

"Float On" is currently making the rounds on the listener review channel.

I say add the whole album! oh, and at least Moon & Antarctica as well.

The other guy is Art Garfunkel. He has some of the coolest hair in the history of Rock n' Roll.

Wow BIll. Great song following Sheryl Crow's Redemption Day. Another example why RP is so awesome!

I think Bill's trying to see how bad the Elvis Costello tracks have to get on RP before he loses his snob appeal rating bonus. Looks like we found the line!

And months later, it's still in the rotation and still cutting short.. Bill? Hellooooo

Hey- where is the dancing banana when you need one?

Noodle noodle noodle on the guitar with a little horns noodling in the background...and then kick in the cheesy background singers. What's not to like?! (Is this a song or just some guys warming up before a real song?)

cool funky and french!
i like it
i like the fact that i got to hear it at all even more

one of my favorite new folk bands. the Blue Horse CD is a fantastic work that was all recorded in a barn...yep a barn.
the originals are beautifully composed and the harmonies are incredible!

the littlest birds is a great tune! hint, hint.

OK, here's one for strange associations - I have a Judybats T-shirt from years ago from the "Down in the shacks(?) where the satillite dishes grow" album, which features a rather abstract, organic-looking image of satillite dishes. While at the grocery store, this young Chinese girl approached me and asked quite matter-of-factly, "Is that a penis on your shirt?". To this day I'm not sure what the proper come-back should have been!

Out of context from the film, this is just torturous. Reminds me of a long-ago afternoon in my undergrad years, hearing a student try out this sort of singing on unfortunate passersby.

Okay, it is now time for Ana Ng, followed by Birdhouse in your Soul. Come on... we've broken the TMBG barrier! Keep them coming!

Rob Thomas wrote this one. I like it.

Every time I hear Coldplay, I wonder if their lead guitar player took lessons from The Edge.

not sure why, but this makes me nauseous....literally, physically nauseous - always has

Amen! Makes you just want to put on black, mess up your hair and smear your lipstick, doesn't it?

I must point out that, regardless of the individual talents of these musicians, this song was bad enough for me to come here and tell you all that it was bad enough to tell you about it and that means its pretty bad.

Malcolm Holcombe is the real deal and favorite of just about everyone who's ever seen him. You can't help but be touched by him and his live performances. I would highly recommend every recording you can get your hands on - and don't miss an opportunity to catch this musical genius live.

Laurie

Was the sound engineer even listening to this???
The guitar is so out of tune it literally hurts my ears! :-&

Lucinda was inspired by photographs by Birney Imes in his collection, "Juke Joint: Photographs by Birney Imes."

more of le jazz hot! django anyone?

Does this kinda sound like the V-Roys to anyone else?

we must be on the same drugs

Why am I hearing jet, yet the playlist says MUmbo Jumbo is up next????
Am I on drugs?

Actually, every once in awhile I think I hear a bit of Sting :???:

This CD is great - but the new Upside Downside is OUTSTANDING. Scott Miller is fantastic - don't ever miss a live show. We love him..

They say that in theory, a bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly. And they say that if you add up the parts of Sophia Lauren's face, she shouldn't be beautiful. And to me, if you add up the parts of this song, it shouldn't be great. But it is great, and I wish I knew why. I have worn out this mp3, and if I could attend my funeral, I would have this song played.

Sonny Landreth rocks.
This sucks.
A terrible cover of a great song.

Do you have the Del McCury version of this?

YES! This is the Cash we should remember.... not that "Johnny sings U2" stuff.

Oh, come on. They had tape rolling while the band warmed up and some moron slapped it on a cd. I don't give out a lot of 1s (or 10s) but this thing is ghastly.

THESE ARE NOT LITTLE RICHARDS SHOES!!!!!

me too!

She really doesn't bring anything to this song...just sounds like a cover that is trying too hard to be the original.

i bet he feels the same way about your music.


then again, Tom is probably too cool for that.

u need a seperate radio station for this ...um... stuff. How about 'radio nashville' or 'radio kentucky'.

I like a variety, but draw the line at country and rap. Oh, and if u say "its not country its bluegrass", how about "who cares its just awful".

Damn, that's almost country music Bill,.....BRAVO!
When the rest of you kids grow-up you'll enjoy a little George Jones every now and then.

I like this song...in a weird way reminds me of neil young!?

please play some pixies!!!
