RIYL: Steve Earle, Replacements, Chuck Prophet, white guys with twangy geetars

This is worth the dl just to have "The Replacements", Womack's 8 minute epic tribute to his fave band - but, really, the nine preceding songs make a case for him as one of the most criminally neglected rootsy singer/songwriters of the double noughts.

To say the SAHB ‘exploded’ upon the UK rock scene is to say the Hindenburg had ‘minor engine problems.’ One of the most consistently successful UK live draws of the 1970s, their no-holds-barred approach to bombastic composition and unruly stage presence combined hard rock, heavy metal, psychedelia, show tunes, pre-war cabaret pop, jump blues, swing jazz, I mean fucking everything…

Bedecked in unruly black curls and horrible Shane McGowanesque dental savagery, Harvey would burst onstage through fake brick walls amidst trumpet fanfare and strut and swagger and thrash about, clad either in his trademark yellow-and-black striped T-shirt, or in an Adolf Hitler costume (in which Harvey lectured shocked German fans on the dangers of fascism), or in Al Jolson blackface (in a Glaswegian bid for encouraging racial harmony among shocked US audiences), or dressed as his recurring superhero alter-ego ‘Vambo Marble-Eye’ (who appears in many songs across many SAHB albums), or buck-ass naked with a plastic bag over his head. Eat shit, Alice Cooper!

Roger Daltrey handpicked the SAHB as the Who’s opening act on several mid-70s tours. One can only shudder at the barbaric on-and-offstage antics Harvey’s Heroes went into with sanctioned psychopaths like the late Keith Moon.

This was kinda hard to do, and I had to stop myself from just putting up the entirety of Next. Still, it'll have most people running away in fear, anger, and confusion.

1. Swamp Snake
2. Gang Bang
3. The Faith Healer
4. Next
5. Soul In Chains
6. Gamblin' Bar Room Blues
7. I Wanna Have You Back

Good job on the Fats. Haven't listened to Leaving Trains for a while, nice pick. Here's one more from me:

Roky Erickson

Here's a quick one from Roky Erickson. I kinda cheated just grabbing tracks off a 2 disc anthology, but since most of my Rocky is otherwise on vinyl and they covered most all of the tracks I would have used anyway, I think it works fine.

Rocky gets attention for being a drug addled crazed freak, but it's really a shame since I think that rep scares people off lots of times when in fact musically, his work comes off more often as straight forward driving garage rock than anything else. He just has a tendency to lyrically go off on tangents about monsters and demons.

Anyway, here's 10 from Rocky, including his big 13th Floor Elevators hit. I left off Burn The Flames, perhaps his most well known solo track that was featured on the Return of the Return of the Living Dead soundtrack since it really has a different vibe from most of his work and I figured people with an interest on Roky have probably already heard that one.

1. You're Gonna Miss Me (13th Floor Elevators)
2. Red Temple Prayer (Two Headed Dog)
3. Bermuda
4. I Think Of demons
5. Don't Shake Me Lucifer
6. It's A Cold Night For Alligators
7. If You Have Ghosts
8. You Don't Love Me Yet
9. Don't Slander Me
10. Nothing In Return

They had many other excellent songs. I purposefully left off "Wide Open Road" and "Bury Me Deep In Love" since those are the best-known songs.
Apparently there's a large amount of early cassette material that might be worth hearing, too. Don't have that.

I'm gonna cheat a little and post "Bury Me Deep in Love" and "Wide Open Road" on box.net. Triffids showing they could have been up there with REM and The Church pretty-songwise if the band's career path had been different:

We were talking about zydeco in chat the other day and how a few people were interested in hearing more so...

Chris Ardoin

AMG Wrote:

A third generation product of the southwestern Louisiana region's most famed musical dynasty, nouveau zydeco accordionist Chris Ardoin followed in the traditions established by his father, French Zydeco Band frontman Lawrence "Black" Ardoin; his grandfather, Cajun "la la" legend Alphonse "Bois Sec" Ardoin; and his distant cousin, Creole virtuoso Amadé Ardoin. Born in 1981, Chris made his public debut at the age of four, playing with his father at a Texas gumbo cook-off; just five years later, he backed his grandfather during an appearance at Carnegie Hall. The child prodigy also soon joined his father's new band Lagniappe as a full-time member, but like Lawrence before him, Ardoin eventually rejected the confines of traditional zydeco to pursue his own muse; with his older brother Sean, cousin Alphonse and family friend Peter Jacobs, he formed the band Double Clutchin', the name representative of the kind of repeated bass drum kicks which define the funky "new zydeco" sound. Double Clutchin' debuted with 1994's That's Da Lick, recorded when bandleader Ardoin was just 13; Lick It Up! followed a year later, and in 1997 the group signed to Rounder for Gon' Be Jus' ine. Turn the Page followed in 1998 and Best Kept Secrets arrived two years later.

1. Lake Charles Connection (Gon' Be Jus' Fine)
2. When the Morning Comes (Gon' Be Jus' Fine)
3. Stay In or Stay Out/Pass the Dutchie (Turn the Page)
4. Tiffany Two Step (Turn the Page)
5. My Baby Done Gone (Turn the Page)
6. Holdin' On (Best Kept Secret)
7. Papa Was a Rollin' Stone (Best Kept Secret)
8. Lyin', Cryin' and Tryin' (Best Kept Secret)
9. Storm Don't Last Long (Best Kept Secret)
10. Your Love Keeps Lifting Me (Higher and Higher) (Turn the Page)
