NP:  subtle, but with lots of amazing moments including the 'you ain't goin' nowhere''s incredible harmonies just FILLNG the room when i first put this on yesterday - it made me play it again, louder, right after it finished. i had a copy somewhere in my archives, but i hadn't listened in a long time. i still need to play back to back, the songs where this edition includes parson's vocal, edited out over GP's being on contract under someone else at this time. |

Glenn (aka Wayyved) sent me some notroios BYRDS but other than that I'm sorely lacking....... n/p:  ....it was just TIME. And so suited me tonight. One of the very few albums that I rank a solid "10" from start to finish. hell, I'm just glad to have had the rare moment to listen to some music tonight |

Here's some good music news for those on board with the Fahey thing.  After five years of deep sleep, reflection, and alternative facial soaps, the curatorial spirits behind John Fahey’s post-Takoma label, Revenant Records, are cleansed and ready to send recordings screaming from the grave and into Grammy-nominating ears once again. Revenant has been responsible for some of the most raw and beautiful folk/blues reissues/compilations since forming in 1996, and they’ve also managed to tie in some contemporary records by No-Neck Blues Band, Jim O’Rourke, and Sir Richard Bishop, along with the 9-disc Albert Ayler Holy Ghost box set — which gets an award from me right now for Best Packaging. Shit, there’s even a Bassholes CD out there. Glad to have you back Revenant!!
There will be “a more complete slate of forthcoming releases in a month or so,” says they, but for now we know they’re well into at least one project: a two-volume chronicle of Paramount — “an early American record label operating in Wisconsin that from 1922-32 produced a catalog comprising arguably the greatest cavalcade of artists ever housed under one roof.” Which means that, yes, Jelly Roll Morton, Son House, William Moore, Ma Rainey, Bo Weavil Jackson, Charley Patton, Blind Blake, Skip James, Blind Willie David, Big Bill Broonzy, and Blind Lemon Jefferson all recorded for Paramount. Along with the unearthed music itself, Revenant will be spritzing record-collector catnip all over the place: “handcrafted packaging with inlaid materials, large format hardcover books, 200g vinyl records plus digital downloads of all materials, a complete narrative history of the label, and a visual centerpiece featuring many of the striking original line-drawn ads.” Oh Dust, don’t hurt ‘em… |

Rimas Novickis whaddaya think our friend bowiglou would say?
i like it quite a bit, but only after i realized 'hey, i CAN sit here for 12 minutes to enjoy this' - a fact of modern life; i'm always freaking running somewhere and i rarely have the time to take even the 5 minutes to listen to something skvorecky puts up at castaways (lately a LOT - come by there maarts!), in addition to fact that i have to take OFF whatever it was that i had chosen to play for myself.
i had nothing on yet...and everyone's outta the house while i have no patients til later...bliss!
thanks maarts!

the track by the weekend was excellent, nite jewel was sorta eurythmics redux, axxess was too repetitive for me lacking 'payoff' in the end. cut hands would be better if mike schrieve played on it. thanks for the revenant records update, if just for reminding me that i need to find more sir richard bishop...or at least find out why he's 'sir'. ~ NP:  i have not heard a goosebump-inducing album like this in AGES! of course i''ve been submerged in the byrds history and the nearly tragicomic sadness of gene clark's life while reading several books on 'califArnia rawk' of this time period. this album is just SO good however. oooo, the title cut. the live ebbets field 1975 bootleg is also very similarly outstanding. this guy was genius-level talent, no, zero, nada doubt - y'know, fuck roger mcguinn, THIS is the guy who should've shoved aside mcguinn's leadership aspirations and remained the leader of the byrds. tho ALL those guys (save chris hillman) were crazy. david crosby? yikes! poor clark had so much go wrong and yes, he drank - but what happened, them shoveling all of clark's talent under a basket, would have DRIVEN anyone to drink - or worse. |

Gene Clark was definitely overlooked, there's no question about that, but I wouldn't say fuck Roger McGuinn or David Crosby. "Eight Miles High" is a great example of the prowess of all three of them together.
And McGuinn really proved himself with "Sweetheart of the Rodeo". That record kick-started an entire "alternative country" movement that was brilliant. I think a Gene Clark led Byrds would have been way more of a train wreck.

^ won't load up...
~
in the gram parsons book i just finished, mcguinn is quoted as admitting that 'sweetheart' was something for which he was just along for the ride.
gram parsons was just a 'hire' (along with hillman's drummer cousin and pete kleinow) to fill in the gap crosby had created by leaving right after the notorious' album ('fired' actually)- and gene clark had already been gone for 2-3 albums at that point.
chris hillman and gram parsons were the 2 country heads on the case. and became great friends.
...and mcguinn didn't much like parsons' 'standing in HIS spotlight', but chris hillman was a byrds co-founder and had enough pull to advocate for this 'new thing' he and g parsons thought they could pull off.
parsons was absolutely a true believer in bakersfield's appeal....and a musical encyclopedia - IF he wasn't too wasted.
mcguinn knew the byrds needed to tweak their direction after their string of successes slowed down...and because of the now departed personnel - basically he decided he'd 'let' those guys direct him and CH and GP did a pretty fucking good job using mcguinn's individual strong points - tho the album was basically a flop when it came out, being such a departure.
as you probably know, it's true appreciation came several decades after the fact.
and gene clark?
sounds like you've heard too little of him.
start with the ebbets field 1973 disc - aka 'silverado'...
