JEFF HALL
BRIAN
JONESTOWN MASSACRE - Tepid
Peppermint Wonderland: Retrospective (Tee Pee Records)
For the
movie Dig they spent 7 years following these guys. Listen to how great the music
is to find out why. RICHARD
BUCKNER & JON LANGFORD - Sir
Dark Invader VS. The Fanglord (Buried Treasure Records)
This
disc is amazing. For anyone who said "I haven't cared for Buckner since he
released Since," (and shame on you for saying that) this is the disc for
you. DITTY
BOPS - Ditty
Bops (Warner Brothers)
Charming retro 20's music. A little jazz,
a little pop mixed with great songs and charming singing. A new warehouse favorite. DOLEFUL
LIONS - Shared
Lodge & Mausoleum (Parasol)
Lo-Fi music the way is should
be. IAN
HUNTER - Strings
Attached CD & DVD (Sanctuary)
Ian is my favorite artist of
all time. THE
JAN MARTINS FRUSTATION The Jan
Martins Frustration (Hidden Agenda Records)
The best record The
Soundtrack Of Our Lives never made. TED
RUSSELL KAMP - NorthSouth
(PoMo)
This reminds me of what I look for in a "new"
(to me at least) artist. Energy, enthusiasm and great songs. Oh yeah, it rocks
as well. THE
QUARTER AFTER - Quarter
After (Bird Song Recordings)
Part of the Los Angeles psychedelic
scene. A little bit Beachwood Sparks, a little bit Rain Parade and all really,
really good. JACKSON
TAYLOR BAND - Easy
Loving Stranger(Gaske Records)
Jackson once mentioned that two
of his musical idols are Billy Joe Shaver and Elvis Presley. If either of them
ever heard this record, they would be proud. TODD
THIBAUD - Northern
Skies (95North)
Why isn't Todd huge? THE
VOLEBEATS - Like
Her (Turquoise Mountain)
While they never really shed completely
their country leanings, this is headed more in the direction of the Bryds circa
Tulsa County. Between this and the Buckner listed above, my favorite records of
the year.
X-RATED COWBOYS - X-Rated
Cowboys (FFN)
These guys get better and better. |
