I don't know, it opens with a cover of All Along the Watchtower and that pretty much killed it for me.I'm not really a Little Feat fan, either. I noticed their names all over the jacket.Yeah, "sucks" is a total knee-jerk response, but I'm reviewing it for inclusion on my radio show and I have some standards, I guess.I mean, the record actually sounds fine, but her voice wasn't really doing it for me, I guess.

Scott that Arthur Gee sleeve is incredible.I will have to look for that one.
― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 14:27 (thirteen years ago) link
That's her second. The opener isn't the strongest song to start the record with, but The Bramble and The Rose is great.

wait, tommy just mentioned doris day on this album and i'm remembering that terry melcher is my other hero. so, i have five heroes. tommy boyce, mark lindsay, drake levin, arthur gee, and terry.
and barbara keith's husband was terry's best friend growing up. he has great stories about him. for your information.

listening to some records i got for the store yesterday.
band of susans - hope against hope
primitons - happy all the time (80's jangle stuff. eh...)
roadsaw - rawk n' roll (double vinyl stoner stuff. what load by metallica would have sounded like if it had been good.)
mean season - grace (not my bag or whatever...)
def leppard - on through the night
krokus - metal rendez-vous (bought this when i was 12!)
krokus - pay it in metal
stone - s/t (the band metallica ripped off)
i can't live without it comp (90's stuff that i never listened to at the time or since. botch, merrimac, amber inn, closure, guyver-one, breakwater, milhouse, slow side down, bor, perilisium cantos, in/humanity, curll) (it's okay. not really my bag either. i'll bet my pal bull from policy of 3 and my pal don from ink & dagger were friends with all these bands. just a hunch.)
heavy pettin - s/t
trust - repression (this will sound xenophobic or something, but this isn't my fave trust album cuz the french language vocals are SO in your face and the guitars are buried a bit. i dunno, it's distracting for some reason.)
flotsam and jetsam - doomsday for the deceiver
nothing's quiet on the eastern front comp (this is more my speed. in fact i had to take it off or i would have ended up keeping it and i can't keep EVERYTHING cool, you know? assfactor 4, black army jacket, brutal truth, coercion, c.r., devoid of faith, disassociate, dropdead, eucharist, halfman, judas iscariot, monster x, suppression)
split lip - for the love of the wounded (definitely not my thing)
trash - burnin' rock
damien - every dog has its day
headpins - line of fire
oz - III warning
helstar - burning star
(got some testament and over kill vinyl and various R.E.M.-ish stuff along the lines of primitons: beat rodeo, bongos, eieio, lifeboat. probably spin some of that. just in case there is a jangle thing i missed that i might like. i guess bongos weren't jangle though. were they?)

^^love the dad rock choices in that list (loose fur, sonic nurse)
Panda Bear, Tomboy + Live at Governor's Island (included in the download coupon that came with the album. Love this live version of Tomboy, guitar has that awesome 70's Michael Rother sound/pulse)Robag Wruhme - Thora Vukk (sounds very nice but also a bit too much rooted in early 00's cologne soundspectrum maybe? very familiar sounds. maybe this needs more time to properly sink in though)Tom Trago - IrisSerge Gainsbourg - L'Homme à Tête de Chou (put this on when my sis was over with her 2 year old son (named Serge btw ;-), who loves to dance to music, and he widened his eyes in amazement when Gainsbourg's voice entered the stage during the first song (title track). Fantastic).
