Dillard & Clark - The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark

I honestly like this more than any Byrds album, and in my opinion of the top 5 country-rock albums of all time.

I've never actually heard this, and there was a time when The Byrds were way up there on my charts. I still like them in small doses.

I will up it for you.

That album cover reminds me of

Great album. I would have agreed with you on better than the byrds a couple of years ago but I've been getting more into the Byrds lately so I don't know. I finally got around to picking up some Dillards recently. Also very good.



Nope

I just picked this up at the thrift shop and have been through it once. This is their pre-prog-metal life, when they were still a hardcore band. I saw them about the time this came out (ca. 1988) and I had the same reaction to them then as I have to listening to this now: they're trying too hard to sound like Animosity-era COC, and not doing it nearly as well.

I've never heard any Dillards. I need to check it out.

The first thing I heard from Exuma was his cover of McCartney's Monkberry Moon Delight



that and Metastophaliese which, is vastly different from his early stuff...which I now dig since seeing Drinky's description and going "huh" and going to listen to his s/t release (1970 was an incredible year in music)

Small Black/Washed Out - split
The Radio Dept. - Clinging to a Scheme

Whoa, yeah, that is pretty different.

I've only just started listening to him and only have his first album so far.

Here's a song from that for anyone else interested:

edit: also a 1970 release....

Eric Andersen - Blue River
Edgar Jones Jones - Soothing Music for Stray Cats
Jesse Ed Davis - S/T & Ululu
Jules & The Polar Bears - Fenetiks
Warren Zevon - S/T
Dwight Trible & The Life Force Universe - Love is the Answer

I really liked this mix at the time and in theory still do but I mostly listen to Rock, Country and Jazz these days and haven't listened to over half of this in a long time.

yeah that one...

also, you need to check out that Johnny Robinson - Memphis High... you can find it online.

White Hinterland - Kairos
Vampire Weekend - Contra

If you put Melvins, Gwar, Flipper, and Big Black/Shellac in a blender, and tossed in bits of death metal and hardcore, you’d likely come up with a close approximation of their sound.
