"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.

Is the Steely Dan cd a good one?
I can't remember too much of it.
Don't believe it had any radio hits..........

For me - and I"m a fan - it was suprisingly 'okay' - well, worth a $5 plunge in the bargain bins. Hard to capture the spark of the 70s material, but it's a good one and enjoyable for anyone who is a fan - just don't be looking for the perfection of the classic work.
Although, of course, what they play is clinically 'perfect'. ;-P

Thanks, Bruce. I will have to check it out. I saw a used copy this week for 6.99.
TWO AGAINST NATURE was the one they released before this one I believe.

I was talking to my fellow RRT co-founder Jon about this two nights ago as we drove down to Denver to see NoMeansNo. I bought this at the Harvard Coop in Boston in late '77, the day I saw The Ramones for the second time - They did an in-store, autographed it, I took some pictures that day that I need to scan and should post in the 53rd And Third group here at The Tribe. Amazing show. It had Eddie And The Hot Rods, David Johansen Group and local Boston legend, Willie Alexander & The Boom Boom Band on the bill.

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
