"Take A Greyhound Bus And Ride" (Moonshine 117)

An anthology of Vintage downhome blues 1951-1967.This album will take you on a musical trip all across the USA. WQe’ll start in Chicago and we’ll stop in Houston, Texas. On the way we’ll hear some great down-home blues with lots great harmonica and guitar licks as it used to be played in the smokey clubs, taverns, and juke joints in the big city ghetto or on “the wrong side of the track.” Very few of these recordings have been on LP before.

THE DELINES - Colfax (2014) @320

http://www33.zippyshare.com/v/56243107/file.html


Music for late nights, early mornings and whisky soaked hangovers. Willy Vlautin of Richmond Fontaine lends a hand. Joe Whyte reviews.

Colfax is the debut album from The Delines who hail from Texas and comprise Amy Boone (who is in The Damnations as well as Richmond Fontaine), alongside the keyboard work of Jenny Conlee (The Decemberists) with Portlanders Sean Oldham and songwriter/novelist Willy Vlautin (Richmond Fontaine) and on pedal steel, Tucker Jackson (Minus 5). Vlautin was beguiled by Boone’s aching tones during Richmond Fontaine recording sessions and has assisted in producing as well as writing most of the material. Taking it’s cues from soul as well as roots and Americana, Colfax is a late night journey round the places and characters of the mid-west nightlife and the bars and brawls so beloved of Vlautin in his books and the RF records. If you’re not familiar with his novels, they are well worth searching out; his weary tales of hard bitten people and the day to day struggles of these most ordinary Joes are less bleak than one would assume and are blackly laugh out loud at times. The Motel Life is currently receiving the big screen treatment and this Lynchian, American gothic novel may well be quite something on film.
Vlautin’s songs are never short of character themselves; the weirdos and street people that occasionally inhabit them are almost as interesting as the bartenders, single moms and cab drivers that they’re centred on.  Calling In adds a healthy dollop of 60s soul to the typical Vlautin mix of rootsy melody and is a neat tale of a couple who resort to immersing themselves in “gin fizz”  and closing the curtains instead of the daily toil of working.  As is usual with Vlautin lyrics, there’s a little dose of bruised romance to sweeten the marginalised couples life and the line “let’s never go back, darkness ain’t such a hard road if we don’t go alone” is typical of the sentiment inherent in the album.

Gyro, I just want to thank you for posting yesterday's Byrds '73 album. I didn't get a chance to post my thanks then so I'm doing it now. I'm surprised that this record slipped by me. I gobble up everything Byrds, Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman, and Gene Clark. You can keep David Crosby, as far as I'm concerned.
For those who don't know, Roger McGuinn maintains a website called "Folk Den" where he discusses and plays traditional folk songs from around the world. Each song is available to listen and to download. I've found a few nice things there. Check it out right here:
