@IH-GARY we are a huge Stax household. Much obliged for your sharing this, will get hella spins

[IH-GARY]

@mclaincausey Nice one! Cix Bits - Seasons Greetings is my fave!

[seawolf]

@mclaincausey This is awesome to hear. They put on such a good show.

[Tago Mago]

on the radar for next year. saw them live a few times, guessing the original songs is half the fun

[seawolf]

@Tago-Mago This is pretty amazing.

[Tago Mago]

I'm not going to lie, I think their version of Time Bomb is superior

[seawolf]

@Tago-Mago That's what I was just listening to, and I was in awe!

Feb 19 can't come soon enough. Really enjoying the new album. Lopez will probably always be my favourite Opeth drummer, but the new guy fits the sound much better than his predecessor. And Opeth would not sound the same without Mendez on bass, the guy is criminally underrated

[seawolf]

@Tago-Mago I shared this with my brother in law, and he said it sounds like punk polka, and I think that's a pretty amazing description.

Rocking out in car line to some Son Volt today. Damn their first couple albums were so good.

Yes I said rocking out…my kids would be so ashamed

Waxahatchee - Tigers Blood album is in my most listened to this year list. Beautiful songs. Her Tiny Desk set went live this week and is worthy of a view:

Trivia point - That's Jeff Tweedy's son Spencer on the drums!

@IH-GARY I’m looking forward to watching this. I absolutely loved St Cloud and listened to her duet with MJ Lenderman non stop this past year. I need to spend more time with Tigers Blood as a whole. And I think Spencer is a fantastic drummer…he has a feel

I kind of went on a Son Volt bender last night and was reminded how amazing Eric Haywood’s pedal steel playing is. I’ve seen him live many times with various acts and his playing always stood out to me. Richard Buckner did an entire album covering the poetry of Edgar Lee Masters called The Hill and I got to see him perform it in an intimate setting when it released (back in the day) and Haywood’s performance was incredible. Anyway here’s a cool little interview with him. He’s played on some great records…

@SKT we love Son Volt and everything in that network of alt country. Good call on the steel.

@Matt and anyone else you shared my annoyance at this one not being on Spotify

Fantastic! Thank you.

[Jett129]

Curious as to how the guitar players in this thread rate him.

[SKT]

@Jett129 I’m a shit electric player but I think he sounds pretty good and they’re definitely having fun. I’m more enamored with the 3 distinct hair styles on display and cousin Ramone on the Hofner

I revisit this one from time to time - every one of these guys is freakishly talented
