Been on a real Steely Dan tear lately. They're just so friggin great.

Even as great as they were, it was easy to pick a track for this thread, thanks in parts to the songwriting, the production, and especially Steve Gadd and Wayne Shorter among the universally brilliant performances. I love crazy compositions and excellent studio production, which is one reason I'm a big Zappa fan. They are so different but have a few things in common that I really value.

Been really burning up this record lately — a little bit of ELO/The Move, Nilsson, Emitt Rhodes vibes in there. Apparently this guy's in Jeff Tweedy's solo band vis a vis being a childhood friend of Spencer, which makes me feel like a fucking fossil… but damn if it's not a great album

Love that Rickard Javerling record! I need to pop it on, been a while. Love that label in general.

Agreed its a good album and i also buy quite a bit on Hoga Nord.

Been on a Chris Whitley kick lately. Gone too soon. Could have been a household name IMO, but made interesting choices–too restless to settle into the kind of success his talent warranted. But still made some great (and, to be fair, some less great) music.

I'm probably late to the game, but wanted to share…Unbelievable talent and passion.

Might be one of my favourites in quite a few years!

Love love Chris Whitley…Living with the Law is really one of my all time favorites…Dirt Floor too. Totally original sound and it takes you places. Yes, gone too soon.

Wow. If I wanted to kick the asses of every one of my wife’s ex boyfriends I’ll know where to find them all at once. Good to know.

Thought these guys might go down well in some quarters here. I love Ruarri’s voice and delivery and think WTC deserve more attention.

[mclaincausey]

Digging this album–thanks for the recommendation @ARNC

Glad you like it. The three WTC albums form a complete cycle, so I hope there’s more to come. Still I wouldn’t complain if Ruarri decided to record some more solo stuff.
