Damn these both sound very good. I would've guessed they were older!
-
This record came out last year but I'm finally getting around to giving it a good listen. Love SG, and how he seems to really maintain his musical signatures, but each album tends to be a nice evolution.

got to go @Matt . or pick up that shirt.

Dylan usually isn't a ripoff, nothing like Stones prices. You never know what you're gonna get when he plays, but in my experience it's always been worth the price of admission.

Dylan is on fire go see him. He is a living legend. I have seen great and not great shows but he is having a great tour right now and I love his new material.
We saw the Stones in some “cheap seats “ on their final US tour with Charlie. Easily worth the $130 a pop. But Dylan in a smaller venue is not to be missed.
I use Apple Music these days. I have their bundle of services for the family. I don’t use Arcade or Fitness but Music and News+ And the extra storage are nice. Apple TV? I’m not sure. Some good shit for the kid.
Music is solid and even though both Google and Apple fucked me on music I uploaded in the past, I can import files and listen to them on apple devices and Sonos.

Thanks @mclaincausey, I’ll see what kinds of deals and bundles they offer. I’m an iPhone guy so it should be smooth. Hopefully they have some kind of family plan since we all listen to different stuff at the same time.
I’m really going to push. We’re seeing so many shows this Spring (Dino Jr, Turnstile, Deafheaven) it could be a tough sell.

he's 80. see him now.

I think I’m going to try and go to the Memphis show in April at the Orpheum. Saw Wilco there a looong time ago and it was a great venue. I’ve never seen Dylan and I just can’t pass up the chance. His latest album basically got me through most of the early pandemic.
Matt, I’m with you about Spotify but it’s such a damn good app. I’m gonna hate leaving it [emoji22]

I may have been at that Wilco show @SKT ; have had some great memories (and blank spots where memories should be) at that venue and in that town.
I've seen Dylan shows where he was kind of a mess, and I've seen Dylan shows where he was Dylan. Right now he and his band are reliably firing on all cylinders, and I agree that the new material is excellent. I will reiterate to anyone who is listening to catch him while you can, and I'll add that the way this tour is going, disappointment is highly unlikely, even for skeptics.

@popvulture Love Steve Gunn, both his solo work and Gunn-Truscinski duo. Time Off is my favorite album of his. I find his different work to be easily identifiable with the label that released it: 3Lobed, Paradise of Bachelors and now Matador but as you say maintaining his distinct sound.
This record came out last year but I'm finally getting around to giving it a good listen. Love SG, and how he seems to really maintain his musical signatures, but each album tends to be a nice evolution.

Oh boy… rabbit hole. This guy is fricken incredible! The duo too. My ears are going to be quite busy.

I’ve probably listened to Jake Xerxes Fussell more than any other artist since his self titled album released in 2015, which was masterfully produced by William Tyler.
Jake released his 4th album last week ‘Good and Green Again.’
This quote from Will Oldham/BPB resonates “As long as Jake Fussell is making records and playing shows, there is ample cause for optimism in this world.”
