  1. Love Charlie Starr's comment: Trace is Gospel.
  2. All of the verses were by Cohen. He changed some of the lyrics between the 84 and the 88 versions that he released. Jeff Buckley used 2 verses from the 84 version and 3 from the 88 version in his 94 version. I'll have to go back and listen to the John Cale version from the "I'm Your Fan" compilation (91). I also HATE Buckley's version. He lucked out by them letting him put his version on the soundtrack, even though they used a shortened version of Cale's in the movie.
  3. The Cohen documentary talks a lot about the different verses and how they changed over time, both by Cohen and then by the folks behind Rufus Wainwright's version. I keep of list of my funeral songs: Go In Peace: Sam Baker Summer's End: John Prine Dreaming: Bruce and Kelly (also about summer ending) Heading for the Light: Traveling Wilburys
  4. Peaceful thoughts @tbone_

    Fruit Bats

    This was the first song that got my attention a few years ago.
  6. Forgot he did this on Live Aid. And listen to what Pino does on the bass. Kind of returns the urgency to the song.
  7. Paul Young had a kick ass version of Jack's song, "Come Back and Stay" (along with a typical 80s video with hot chicks) but Jack's version had a sense of urgency. I need to dig out my vinyl copy. I think I first heard this on some sampler. Paul Young's version so we can look at hot chicks.
  8. Couple of Isbell goodies: Short article in Southern Living, mostly about Prine https://www.southernliving.com/jason-isbell-john-prine-7508532 Full Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jason-isbells-cast-iron-skillet/id1510623480?i=1000615835139
  9. Taking cues from the Catholic Church. "Sure, you can get an annulment. How much money do you make?"
  10. Finally got to see it. Man, I had forgotten how cute Victoria Williams was....what a smile in those early clips. That version of "Two Angels" was incredible, as was watching Peter's reaction. I also wish they had spent more time on his getting to SF and his early time there. Also, I wish they had talked to some of the people who helped him on those early records. T-Bone Burnett, John Hiatt, Keltner, Scheff, Fromm, etc. It was cool they talked with Marvin Etzione. Always loved that dude. Jake Lee damn sure got his screen time. I talked to Peter on the second solo album tour and he said that Eddie was going fine so I assume they still got along. It's depressing to me what GREAT music he put out and never really gets the recognition he deserves. He is a FANTASTIC song writer.
  11. Saw this in 1988 and was really my first exposure to him Plus, I was very, very intrigued by Perla Batalla. Good lord.
  12. They showed a short clip of KD Lang singing at his memorial. I was looking for a better version of his introductions, but still pretty cool. I've seen Rafael play with Kelly Willis and Bob Schneider among others. Then the 'quietest rock band'.
  13. Found it. Blue Lava guitar?
  14. Finally watched the Netflix Documentary about Leonard Cohen. https://www.netflix.com/title/81521158 I'm going to watch it again to tonight. So many great comments from him and those who surrounded him. Plus, with his huge Austin connections of Roscoe Beck on bass and Rafael Gayol on drums. I wish they had delved deeper or at least given an introduction into his band he assembled for that came back from retirement. I loved how the showed the background of how the covering of Hallelujah (John Cale, Jeff Buckley) did so much to resurrect his career which gave him the audience to draw from when he was forced to go back on tour. Also bummed they didn't mention Jennifer Warnes' brilliant album, "Famous Blue Raincoat" which was also produced by Roscoe Back and included one SRV solo. But they showed the importance of the indie tribute album, "I'm Your Fan". Had to break that out today and give it another listen but Cale's cover was easily the highlight of that record.
  15. What is the white guitar behind the Silver Sky copy?
  16. I'd really like to see Molly play with David Rawlings and Gillian Welch. It amazes me how little she looks at her left hand. Incredible.
  17. From the greatest songwriter no one has heard of: Rock Killough. He played on the very first season of Austin City Limits.
  18. Has Cousin @Steel Shank weighed in on this?
  19. Also posted on Guitar thread: Stupid Deal link below on D’Angelico Premier Lexington CS. If someone is looking for a beginner or beater/campfire guitar (and you can get past the tuners), these D'Angelico's are a very good buy at $400 and a STEAL at $200. They play really nice...the neck is really great for smaller hands but isn't too small and the preamp in these things sounds fantastic. A friend of mine tried a stint in Nashville as a songwriter, then got his law degree and is now a pastor of a Baptist church but his true love is still music. He has shelved all of his high dollar acoustics in his church band for one of these. Every time I talk to him, he sings the praised of this thing. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid?icid=210190

  21. Although we all feel your pain @Brisketexan, this is EXACTLY why this thread exists.
  22. For fuck sake, will someone think about the monkey and his buddy looking out the window!
  23. Someone tell Nivek that his wife has signed in to his Surly account again.
  24. Great live version of my other favorite song. "Going out tonight going way downtown, where my friends who died still hang around". Saw him do two shows one night in a 150 person listening room. I stayed for both shows. He played this one before it was recorded. I talked to him about it between the shows. It is the only song he repeated that night.
