Whats on your turntable tonight?

I played my new copy of Shovels and Rope -Little Seeds. I don't love it yet, although I do love the duo and they are one of the best lives shows I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot!).

However! I do have to say the LP is one of the coolest packages I've ever seen. It's a double LP with 3 sides of music. Side 4 is a really cool etching of the bands logo. It's pressed on translucent red vinyl and the logo is visible through the vinyl. It is really cool. Almost worth the price, just for the cool factor....... almost.....

Wallflowers - Bringing Down the Horse - 20th Anniversary 2-LP Set

The Blasters "Live At The Venue  London". It's crazy how great this lp sounds!

reubent,

I have Shovels & Rope "S/T" lp. I love the artist and the music. I saw them on one of the PBS specials a while back, something like, Bluegrass Underground? Live performances in one of our (US) caves. Michael Trent was sweating beads!!!

A cave.....

This got me thinking... The Page/Plant "No Quarter" lp from 1994 was recorded in a cave? At least on the MTV video special from that era, they were performing in a cave.

The SQ is amazing! I've heard a 10th anniversary re-issue on another system and I can recommend that one should stay away from that one.

It's playing right now.

Happy Listening!

astro58go,

Shovels and Rope live, especially "up-close and personal" in a small venue, is one of the most engaging shows I've seen. The interaction between Michael and Cary Ann is amazing. Go see them live if you get the opportunity.

BTW, they are playing two nights at The Ryman Auditorium in February.
