Yeah, Marshall's first album is incredibly chimey and a little bittersweet like the Stamey song.

"I Like Girls" by the Know always reminds me of "Summer Sun"

And "Rough School Year" by the Notes is like Stamey mixed w/ Rundgren.

five years pass...

Holsapple & Stamey have a new one (not a dB's record) called Here and Now. i think it's pretty damn good after a couple listens, and am happy these guys are making music again

one year passes...

I lurve his work with the dB's and Holsapple but have never investigated his solo albums. Pity there's no best-of, anyone have some suggestions?

Patience is a virtue. A friendly Facebook acquaintance posted this excellent tracklisting, which I compiled and it's a great 2.5 hours of Mr. Stamey!
