Yes, I just got both Alex and Nels new albums. They are both really good
Wilco/ Nels Cline: news & free album preview
Wilco fans - the band is offering a free online streaming preview of their new album this sunday Jun 14, midnite sat to midnite sunday - via the bands website.
We have tickets to see them shortly - wonder if they will pay some fitting tribute to their former band member Jay Bennett who just died under fairly sad conditions.
I'm a huge fan of their new guitar player Nels Cline who has been a part of LAs jazz scene for decades. Just saw him at an excellent show at Disney/REDCAT in Los Angeles. Didn't realize he had an identical twin brother Alex - an accomplished drummer. Nels and Alex both released their own Cryptogrammophone-labeled albums and this show had plenty of material from both.
Triva: Cline's new solo album "Coward" is named for the a***ole who murdered another LA jazz guitarist and friend of Cline's - Rod Poole and the album contains a long tribute song to him.
Check out wilco and both Cline brothers if you have not already - fairly interesting and innovative music.
