After the split I followed both Son Volt and Wilco with interest, though it soon became apparent which of the two was the one to stick with. Tweedy & co are still producing the goods today (their latest LP 'Star Wars' is available as a free download from their website) and Billy seems to get better and more poignant with age too.<br />'California Stars' is an inspired choice from a terrific joint project.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-61616871191569771532015-08-16T14:42:59.883-04:002015-08-16T14:42:59.883-04:00Hi fellas.

I don't know why I stuck with only one album from him for about 15 years, but I began rectifying that situation just about the time Mermaid Avenue came out. Dirk, I have never had the opportunity to see him live. He is far from a regular on the circuit over here. He played some shows in 2013, but the closest he came to my neck of the woods was San Francisco. As you say, I should have probably made the flight. Still hoping the stars align someday so that I get to see him.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-17353242682667313712015-08-16T09:32:26.663-04:002015-08-16T09:32:26.663-04:00Great track from a great album, Brian.Great track from a great album, Brian.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12140350486850944468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-74839421582361410142015-08-16T04:43:19.527-04:002015-08-16T04:43:19.527-04:00Brian, you should fly around the globe to see him ...Brian, you should fly around the globe to see him live! He certainly is the best live artist around and the smaller the venue, the better for you: it's not only his performances, it's the stories he tells inbetween the songs, you have to be there to believe it ... fantastic!Dirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02907703583893968857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-10622638864433836062015-08-16T04:04:23.248-04:002015-08-16T04:04:23.248-04:00Like kevinpat an album I don't listen to as of...Like kevinpat an album I don't listen to as often as I should.Something I must rectifyCharity Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12049726176497694026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-69451629239181951202015-08-15T23:01:01.272-04:002015-08-15T23:01:01.272-04:00Sweet song from an album I don't listen to eno...Sweet song from an album I don't listen to enough. Kinda got down in the pile, if you know what I mean. First thing I always think of is that this is a track from a Traveling Wilburys' album…. Missing is that Liverpool droll of George though. I'll have to dig this out for a better listen tomorrow. Like Seinfeld and chocolate my friends don't understand why I'm not gaga over Wilco. I just don't get it. Just me. I guess.

With Billy I am proud to say I became a fan early on, with Talking With the Taxman About Poetry. I think I read a review that described him as " a one man Clash", and I've been hooked ever since. Aside from this song, I much prefer the Bragg interpretations, but this song tops all. Great post!Uncle Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570327775449916376noreply@blogger.com
