ILX Gonna Shine in My Backdoor Someday (new post-Fahey folk for ppl posting in Takoma/Tompkins Square threads Pt II)

yeah, that interview is great -- I actually wrote up those field recordings for AD last year (http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2015/05/27/going-greek-field-recordings-from-epirus-2014/). pretty much everything Chris King puts together seems to be amazing. The Alexis Zoumbas disc is incredible.

primeval !

My Gimmer Nicholson LP arrived today and wow, have I ever fallen in love with this record. I liked it right away, but the more I listen, the more I love it. Vinyl sounds great, too.

I was looking for this in the shop over the weekend. Apparently the release was delayed, so they didn't have it now I don't have it :(

a little late to the party here but this gimmer nicholson album is so incredible

Yeah man, REALLY glad I bought that Gimmer album. It will tide me over as my go-to guitar album until the new Glenn Jones comes out.

Also, new Forsyth & Solar Motel Band has me more psyched for that upcoming record. Had cooled on them a bit (two of the original members no longer being in the band being part of the reason) but I really like this one. Moodier and less showy, just lots of tasteful playing and nice chords etc. Sounds like 70's Dead at times (to me at least, some pretty clear nods though), but don't let that turn you off hah hah:

unless that writeup is erroneous seems steven urgo still plays on the record? that's great, he's so good

yeah he's on the new one, but there's a new drummer with the band now... he goes out on a high note -- some great playing on there.

this sounds pretty cool: https://soundcloud.com/deadoceans/ryley-walker-dhoodan/s-iFORy
Charles Rumback & Ryley Walker "Cannots"- instrumentals w/ walker on guitar and rumback on drums...

digging the walker/rumback tune. between this and xylouris white last week--what are some really good records that highlight expressive drumming/guitar interplay like this?

you checked out 75 Dollar Bill yet? they are amazing. try Wooden Bag (which is all duo stuff).
https://75dollarbill.bandcamp.com/

& those gunn-truscinski LPs are terrific too.

oh yeah 75 dollar bill are awesome, totally forgot about that record!

Gunn/Truscinski is so damn good! Gonna go listen right now:

https://threelobed.bandcamp.com/album/ocean-parkway

yeah, in retrospect, those records were game changers for me

wow good call, that's great

I'm playing in a drums- guitar duo tomorrow night and we're v expressive ;)

Yeah man, "Ocean Parkway" hits a lot of sweet spots for me. Wonderful record.

Also, make sure you record that La Lechera! I would love to hear it.

I'll try!!

yeahhhh!
not that this is really the thread for it but who cares, everyone's gonna love this new sahel sounds thing, really beautiful!

cool...

btw there's a new reissue of Avocet by Bert Jansch, 79 album I'd not heard

wow, to me it's on the level of Gimmer Nicholson (not in that it's at all similar stylistically) in terms of you gotta hear this...it's him, a guy on mandacello and some other string instruments and the ever awesome danny thompson on drums...very loose exploratory jammy feel...best way i could describe it is imagine the band from Astral Weeks exploring more celtic music territory without a singer...but yeah if you love Jansch/Pentangle/etc this is a must-hear....

I'd imagine 79 was a real low ebb in terms of Jansch's fashionability so maybe that's why i've never heard it

just gorgeous music....again not similar stylistically but if you dug born with a caul era cian nugent youd'd dig this

a little talk on the jansch thread about it, really great record.

the title track is a mega jam

you had me until "celtic music"

yeah, i love avocet so much - here's my little write-up, plus a sample: http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2016/02/22/bert-jansch-avocet/
probably wouldn't have been the soundest commercial decision, but i feel like jansch could've just kept making records like this for the remainder of his career.
and since i'm plugging AD stuff, here's my write-up of various Solar Motel goings ons: http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2016/03/01/checking-back-into-the-solar-motel-chris-forsyth-the-solar-motel-band-sunwatchers-nick-millevoi/

I had my first proper listen to Avocet last night and was similarly blown away. I think it tails off into abstraction after the title track, but bloody hell, what a track.

Beyond the title track, "Kingfisher" is a favorite for me

Don't let that scare you off I promise, unless like you can't stand Fairport or Pentangle

playlist somewhat updated:

ILM's Rolling Post-Fahey Folk Thread 2016 Spotify Playlist

not cool with this ^^^^

Avocet is lovely btw; listening now.

still haven't heard the live album Jansch did w/ Jenkins -- maybe it'll be a future reissue?

Psyched that I am getting to play with Sunwatchers next week. Cool band that should translate really well live I imagine. Good write-ups Tyler!

yeah, that record is extremely fun.

Think it will be a total blast live. That Millevoi track is really nice as well, know him more for his noise/really out solo stuff, but this is just super nice and low key.

yeah the millevoi has a nice classic calexico thing happening, I think.

sunwatchers and nick millevoi are playing on the same bill on sunday but it's the same night charalambides are playing. please advise.

Gotta go to Charalambides. There is no question (I mean, you can't really lose, but who knows how many times you will get to see Charalambides ....)

ha yeah, from what i gather the Charalambides gigs aren't a full-fledged comeback, so who knows when the next chance you'll get to see them will be.

i saw them play 13 or so years ago in donald miller's living room, it was a transformative experience. yall are right.

Charalambides would win this no matter who was playing the other show

Sleeve is correct

Let us all bask in the glow and majesty of the most recent Charalambides record. I would honestly be cool w/ this tune being played at my funeral:

I would probably be a blubbering mess by the end of this if I saw it live.
