Where is the Love For All These Bands from my "O" CD Shelves Who Don't Get Mentioned Nearly Enough on ILM

I saw Old Crow open up for someone once and I thought they stunk. There were like three guys playing banjos or banjitars at once and none of them were actually playing "banjo-style" so they seemed to be only there for visual effect. Cor-nee!

The Outlaws -- second tier southern rock band. Much loved or loathed for extended jams, particularly re "Green Grass & High Tides." A version of "Ghost Riders in the Sky" was another white trash concert fave. Hughie Thomasson, lead guitarist of lead guitarists, now in Lynyrd Skynyrd where he can still play "Green Grass."

Old Bombs -- bizarre Brooklyn noise band with Carlos Giffoni in it. One of the oddest CDs I ever had. It often sounded just like static, steam escaping from a radiator and dog whistles. Stubbornly unlistenable, a record to make you shrivel up when you're girlfriend or wife is in the mood. If you tell me you place this in the home, I'll know you're lieing.

re the outlaws - this the cut-n-paste/mashup artists .. or some other setup ?

and as for overseer - fun tacky dance grooves a la @440 vs fat boy slim, all styles given a going over. basically though, tis a bod in leeds making music for fast-n-furious hollywood car chase scenes .. every track on the album is now in a film, or as near as dammit. not sure if the lp ever got proper release in uk.

My most enduring Outlaws memory has to do with reviewing a show of theirs in DC and having the stoner in the seat next to mine pass out before the first number ended. I spent much of the set trying to keep him from slumping on me. The South didn't rise again that night.

The only Anita O'Day stuff I ever heard was with the Kenton band. Is this different stuff?

In my admittedly totally uninformed-and-then-some white jazz woman vocalist pantheon, I put her up there with Keely Smith (w/ Prima) and Rosemary Clooney (whilst singing with Duke Ellington) in terms of sheer exuberance. But I have no idea if there is any accurary to this.

and again, keely's solo stuff without prima is where my heart lies. those 50's albums are beyond beautiful. I love both singers. Rosemary did great stuff too, but i'm not as big a fan.

I really need to track down a good collection of vintage solo Keely, too. I actually enjoyed a couple albums she did on her own in the late '90s, oddly enough, but I've never really investigated her old stuff sans Louis.

These threads are great for the chuck/scott s/george s talk that goes on in them. They're some of my favourite ilm threads of late.
