"Lullaby for the Working Class
Spare, mellow, almost ambient alt-country band from the late 90s.
I'm almost embarrassed that I'm only discovering them now.
Unbelievably great.
Some loose personnel associations with Bright Eyes.

Gail, have you heard the New Multitudes album, the old Guthrie lyrics set to music by Jay Farrar, Will Johnson, Jim James and Anders Parker?
Pretty excellent...saw them play out this year, it was phenomenal...I kinda hope those guys work together again.

Harry, I have not. I did see Arlo G at Red Rocks this summer and he spoke about that, setting his father's, (were they newly discovered?) words to music..I will be checking out the New Multitudes. Thank you!

One of my favorite Jackson B songs. Saw him on the Running on Empty tour late 70s and then just a few years ago. JB has managed not to age much in his tenure as a rocker.

A bit obvious perhaps, but in response to all the anger, mud-slinging, and name-calling that seems to have reached an all-time high during this particular campaign, I think everyone involved would do well to heed John's advice and "free your mind instead" ...

Was reading my hipster kid's magazine Under THe Radar, this month "The protest issue" http://www.undertheradarmag.com/
The article poined out Dylan wrote his great protest "tomes" Blowing in the Wind and Times they are a Changing " in his early 20's. Several artists discussed the difficulty is writing a such a piece, too specific of a topic and you become "stuck in the moment"..future listeners will not relate. Too vauge and well "what the F are you trying to say? and worst wearing your heart on your sleeve so to speak, puttting it out there in the form of a crappy song.
Dylan managed to pen masterpices , timeless applications for all purposes. Times they are a changing chokes me up more now than ever, and this one..well..

He PERFORMED with the remaining Monkees, something I swear he said he would never do again after the '80s. It is baffling. As for the meeting, he was so gracious and answered…"

So Mike Nesmith. Yeah. WTF, right? Private, reclusive, mysterious for many years. A couple of years back, he got on Facebook and he posts long, winding tales about himself, his dogs, his home, his past, and a really lovely Mother's Day post last weekend. Photos go up. The whole thing. It's like he disappeared and then came back on his own terms. I didn't know how to take it. I'm a huge Monkees fan, no doubt. And, being a woman/girl of a certain age, I have a favorite and that favorite is Mike.…See More
