actually maybe this is of thread interest -- the night before i saw heather leigh and peter brötzmann and they were great. her guitar playing was super interesting to watch (her hands in particular) and sounded really cool. lots of pedals on the pedal steel. brötzmann brötzmanned as he does. they played for an hour!
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 21:09 (seven years ago) link
yeah cbesinger played me a heather leigh pedal steel album, so good
that show sounds amazing
― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 21:11 (seven years ago) link
they set up on the floor! i was like 2 feet from her, maybe 10 from him and i had to move and sit behind them. it was intense!
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 21:12 (seven years ago) link
yeah, i'd like to see them play! all for more adventurous pedal steel stuff

when i saw leigh and brotzmann last week a) it was super awesome but b) it kinda felt a couple times like heather was setting him up to just go off and level the place last exit style but he didn't, stayed (reasonably) tuneful and restrained.
i couldn't really see her (bad folding-chair type venue) but achieving a brotzmannian level of shabbiness in my old age is like #1 goal now

So this Chuck Johnson ambient pedal steel album hits stores soon, right? I need it! Was going to just pick it up at a local shop if I could.

Yeah I rep hard for her solo record I Abused Animal love it. I kind wish she sang as well when playing with Brotzmann, esp cuz I love hearing Brotz against a wide, expressive voice, a la Haino, but so the two Brotzmann/Leigh records are absolutely some of my most favorite music of late. He really has found a new gear I think playing with her. When I saw them last yr he uncorked an amazing flurry of notes that could have been fucking David Sanborn they were so smooth & pretty and then dipped back into his raw tone. So fucking good.
And yes Brotzmann is an underrated fashion icon.

sarah louise/sally anne morgan project House and Land out tomorrow!

― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 15 June 2017 18:34 (seven years ago) link
House And Land is not what I expected, vocal-heavy with minimal guitar work
― sleeve, Friday, 16 June 2017 01:32 (seven years ago) link
I think it's quite wonderful, Kossoy sisters gone microtonal
― global tetrahedron, Thursday, 22 June 2017 20:13 (seven years ago) link
Surprised by how much I enjoyed it on first listen.
― No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Sunday, 25 June 2017 19:26 (seven years ago) link
it veers into the drone/avant territory so subtly. wasn't a fan of sally morgan's vocals on the releases with mike gangloff but they work really well here.
― global tetrahedron, Monday, 26 June 2017 16:32 (seven years ago) link
Dig the House and Land record a lot. Good stuff. Really enjoying what I have heard of the new Orcutt as well.
― grandavis, Monday, 26 June 2017 16:36 (seven years ago) link
Couple of nice guitar-based releases on Cabin Floor Esoterica just came out.
Rootless (good analogy is maybe Danny Paul Grody side of acoustic action, but need to listen a bit more to drive the larger picture): https://cabinflooresoterica.bandcamp.com/album/cfe-66-sculptures-deep-within-the-cave
― grandavis, Monday, 26 June 2017 16:48 (seven years ago) link
East of the Valley Blues: https://cabinflooresoterica.bandcamp.com/album/cfe-63-rivereto-de-konscio
Duo of brothers who improvise on acoustic guitar. Has a pretty free flowing minimal approach but gets into some cool interplay. Really into the sound generally, and they hit some real sweet spots.
― grandavis, Monday, 26 June 2017 16:50 (seven years ago) link
east of the valley blues is great, would like to hear more stuff like this- not a ton of americana signifiers but still fits here well
― global tetrahedron, Monday, 26 June 2017 20:42 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, I am really into it. Their previous record is really good too.

I got a friendly email from Paradise of Bachelors on Friday about this, which I had no clue was getting released until that very moment:http://media.paradiseofbachelors.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/06014624/PoB-34-LP-jacket-web.jpg
Listening now, and I really sort of love it a lot. Has a very Bert Jansch-esque stateliness to it that I didn't expect at all. Really wonderful.
― Austin, Sunday, 2 July 2017 15:49 (seven years ago) link
Oooh I didn't know that was out, very excited
― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 2 July 2017 16:44 (seven years ago) link
I love his voice, so it's especially nice to hear him singing again.
― Austin, Sunday, 2 July 2017 17:51 (seven years ago) link
Finally found out where my buddy Alexander (well, David when not playing solo guitar) has his tapes stashed on bandcamp. Really love his playing:
https://davidalexanderguitars.bandcamp.com/album/the-pale-light-over-the-dark-hills
― grandavis, Friday, 21 July 2017 18:53 (seven years ago) link
Also, hey everyone. Long time no posting.
― grandavis, Friday, 21 July 2017 18:54 (seven years ago) link
Dig Alexander because a) he is not afraid to play slow and stately (though he can pick when he decides to) and b) he hits some cool intervals and phrasing that seem kinda unique to him (though I mean it ain't reinventing the wheel or anything). Just a feel I can really really hang with. Also plays in the out guitar duo Nagual, but mainly he gets up to acoustic jams when he goes solo.

I saw a Ryley Walker and Bill MacKay yesterday play some songs that'll be on an album that comes out in October. Beauteous harmonics.

― ogmor, Sunday, 23 July 2017 09:52 (seven years ago) link
yeah this Alexander is lovely! so goodbeen listening to Eric Schoenberg's Steel Strings a lot lately and thinking about how the love of cultish dudes really causes guys like this from the more music biz Grossman axis (signed to Rounder, has his own signature guitar etc) to be underrated, people love the whole "recorded in one weekend in an abandoned church, this former member of the Universal Meaning commune pressed only 100 of this outsider gem" thing so muchthis Schoenberg album is do great, though I think I have a higher tolerance for the pro/cornier side of this spectrum than most
― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 23 July 2017 14:13 (seven years ago) link
You are correct Ogmor. I can assure you that Alexander is both a good and trustworthy sort. Has the right attitude about things, and is a young dude who likely has a lot of good music ahead of him. Love that most recent release though.
Interesting fact: Alexander built the guitar he plays himself, and it is a really cool parlor-sized one that projects and rings out like a much larger-bodied guitar. Made me want one!
― grandavis, Monday, 24 July 2017 21:00 (seven years ago) link
i appreciate some stefan grossman from time to time but you can't deny that him chiming in with 'play that rag!' and 'bring it on home now!' in this is corny as fuck

I contest that anybody saying such phrases, in any circumstance, is corny as fuck.
