Incongruent Dylan
Posted 3 days ago by Isabeau    [ Reply ]
I wish more bluegrass bands would try this genre hybrid.  Drums in a bluegrass band ain't the anti-christ.  And you can go with dobro...or a pedal...or even a slide guitar.  

This rocks.

Interesting comparison. I wouldn't have thought that at first, but I agree with you. Especially in comparison to the latter Violent Femmes albums.

The first part of the verse sounds a little like a laidback version of Ballroom Blitz (same chords, similar melody). Are you ready, Steve?

But we've been so inundated lately with so much organic-locally-sourced-hand-crafted-artisinal music, it's all starting to sound cliched...even when it wasn't.

You could always make dramatic exit if you don't like what's played? 
This is why RP is the ONLY station I listen as I enjoy 99.9% of the tunes.

I'm pretty sure that Reed Foehl wrote and sang this song. Reed is in the rotation on RP singing solo on 'Goodbye World'...

Ha! Jimmy Page was the worst plagiarist in Rock history. Countless examples. Original sources never credited.

Acoustic blues with slide guitar - hardly invented by Led Zeppelin; thousands of musicians have played this type of song long before LZ existed.

Bought the CD through Amazon on the strength of this tune. I'm sorry to say the rest of the album is a dissappointment. While this tune rocks, the remainder is filler at best. The tempo slows to a crawl, and could literally cure insomnia. IMHO, this group is a one hit wonder.

Been following this band for a few years, and always wondered why they didn't get more popular. Their whole catalog is great, and they put on a killer show. The first time I saw them, it was in an open ampitheater on the CU campus in Boulder. The cops pulled the plug on the show at 11, but no one wanted to leave, so they shut off all the amps, and took their acoustic guitars and one hand drum, sat on the front of the stage and played three more tunes, unamplified. The crowd gathered in as close as possible and got dead silent to hear them. It was one of the most amazing an intimate concert experiences I've had. btw-- if you are looking for CDs they brifetly changed their name to Fool's Progress, then changed it back.
Now that's a great moment. Can't beat it. I'll up my rating just for that reason alone.
