Long week, nice bit of Nino Ferrer to relax on a Friday evening.

That's quite the album cover he chose too.

Oooh, nice. I’ll be checking this out

Not their best album, but another solid showing from a band you could easily label a proper 7/10 at everything. They'll never disappoint.

First got introduced to Gram Parsons in the film Grand Theft Parsons with Michael Shannon and Johnny Knoxville. Still one of the most underrated movies ever in my opinion.

Not familiar with the film, honestly. I'll have to check it out. Thanks. Pretty sure I have every album Parsons had a hand in making and the world has him to thank for teaching Emmylou Harris harmony vocals. What a gift.

I think this was one of the last songs that Johnny Cash recorded before he died. I'm not 100% sure, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

IMHO Cash nailed it. The original NIN version was good, but Johnny took it to the next level.

Even Trent Reznor admitted it, and I'm para-phrasing, but he said something along the lines of: You have a girl, and you're completely in-love with her, then some dude comes along and steals her from right under your nose, and there's absolutely nothing that you can do about it! lol lol lol

Crushing it:

There's nothing more amazing then watching a talented virtuoso destroy his instrument.

Like watching a piano or violin concerto. It's ridiculous!

This is one of my favorites. This dude has his own take on Mason Williams's Classical Gas, but he completely shreds it:

I've always sort of thought of this as the first 'shoegazey' kinda tune. Was always a regular on tapes I did for folk.

Hmm.... on the one hand you probably shouldn't go anywhere near covering the Twins, many have tried and failed abysmally across the board, but these guys...










I'm actually pretty 'kin impressed to be honest. Also proving once again that chicks that play bass are all kinds of hot.

I await your wrath @magicjuan .....

Watched last night's documentary on Bill Withers, underrated song writer,very intelligent and unassuming. Remember seeing him and his group on the OGWT and thinking that's what cool is.
Ain't no sunshine, classic. Nearly forgot he had a very fit daughter who does good versions of his songs.
