This morning was a Peter Gabriel morning. “Up” from 2002 to be precise. I picked up this CD a while ago, but never really gave it the time it needs until recently. It is an amazing piece of work. What’s interesting is that several of the tunes sound like they could have been written during Genesis’ “Lamb Lies Down on Broadway” era. Dark, gritty, heavy. Great stuff.
Nickel Creek
OK, so I’ve totally fallen in love all over again with Nickel Creek. “Why Should the Fire Die?” is brilliant. What sucks is I’m also bummed all over again that they’re on indefinite hiatus. Come back Nickel Creek!
Gary Louris – True Blue [MPR/The Current]
What an awesome tune. The shift in and out of falsetto is classic Louris. The song sounds like it coulda fit very nicely on “Tomorrow the Green Grass” or “Smile”. Ya know what I’m pretty sure that’s Jim Boquist on 12-string and bvox. He used to play bass in the original Son Volt line-up. From 4 strings to 12–impressive!
