What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

Screaming Trees - Sweet Oblivion

Son Volt - straightaways

@ghosthouse - BTW, Son Volt's - "straightaways" is a most excellent album. Well, if you like Americana, that is......

agreed on straightaways, even moreso on their debut, "trace"--for some reason "ten second news" always makes me cry. i've always thought farrar was some sort of a genius, though his range is fairly narrow and his records do get somewhat monochromatic. i did read that wilco (who had just released their ok-but-unspectacular debut) was so blown away by hearing "trace" for the first time that they became obsessed with upping their game in order to match it.

@reubent

Thanks for the recommendation. I do tend to notice your input here and over on Nutty’s thread. I will check out Straightaways. I like (some) Americana though I probably have a limited range of appreciation...The Band and Levon Helm mostly. Not entirely sure they’re Americana (as opposed to Goth-Country!) but if you don’t know him/them, you might want to check out the Dave Rawlings Machine (a totally misleading name) and also his partner and significant other Gillian Welch. Again, not sure if these are Americana but you be the judge.

For Loomis’ benefit, Son Volt’s cover of Ron Wood’s Mystify was more appealing to me than the original. More carefully rendered which I get wasn’t necessarily RW’s intent.
