Rock and Roll Tribe

A Global Army of Veteran Rockers

Jon, really loved the Frank Turner interview, nice work there.

 

He's a guy who needs to be checked out by anybody who digs Billy Bragg (e.g.) although he's a bit lighter than that in terms of lyrics-wise, etc.....a few songs about his drinking problem, etc ;>)

I saw him in the opening slot for Social Distortion that is mentioned in there.

Up here (and maybe everywhere..) it was a triple-header- Turner/Lucero/Social D

 

Full disclosure:  I have all the Social D albums and dig them just fine, but in terms of what I dig...I was predisposed to saying this going in.....but it is true:

Lucero and Frank both kicked Social D's ass.

I can't dig Kurt Vile.

Not even close.

The vocals/melodies just bury the whole thing for me.

 

It's depressing me because one of my best music-related buds and an exhaustive source for all things rock swears by the guy.

I just do not get it.

I like him well enough.  I've got all four of his proper albums, but I'll admit that I don't go back to them.  My favorite track off last year's album, Smoke Rings Around My Halo, should be right up your wheelhouse, Harry:

You all need to listen to this album:

Lotus Plaza  -  Spooky Action at a Distance
