Just a Little List of Things Listened to This Weekend

• The Mammals - Evolver ..... A public library, used book sale find. Not a gamble, they are a known quality. Americana, Appalachia, banjos, rootsy, folkie. Great cover of Richard Thompson's song, 1952 Vincent Black Lightning. There's also a beautiful acoustic guitar and banjo instrumental called, Chinese Irishman. It ends with spoken word wisdom from Pete Seeger over beautiful banjo accompanyment which merges eventually with bomb-like drums.
• Son Volt - Trace .... The new remastered release for all of its demos. Always love those demos and bonus tracks. And there's also a bonus disc live show in the package!!
• Big Band Old Time Radio Show - Kraft Music Hall with Paul Whiteman from 11/30/33
• Real Friends - Daytrotter Session from 1/28/15
• Bob Dylan and Tom Waits - (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party) .... Covering The Beastie Boys. And they make it work. 
• Jason Isbell - Live at the Newport Folk Festival 2015 .... A National Public Radio, All Songs Considered podcast. 
• Eric Lovre Band - Dreaming All Day Long .... Heard in the car. Local guy on KMUZ-fm radio and a local music program.
