Here they are, your Songs Of The Week!
Enjoy.
From their 2015 E.P. "Australia," please listen in wonder to Richard & Linda's daughter Kami Thompson and her husband, guitarist extraordinaire and current Pretender James Walbourne doing business as The Rails, and their absolutely gorgeous cover of Edwyn Collins' "Low Expectations."
I'm sure I've shared this somewhere before, but I listened to "Australia" yesterday, a fantastic set of seven songs that all reading should dial up toot sweet, and the beauty of their voices together really got to me.
Edwyn Collins wrote a terrific song, but The Rails take it to another level.
We lost Arthur Lee 20 years ago today.
And now I feel like listening to Love.
Love Is Only Sleeping- The Monkees
How Does It Feel To Feel- The Creation
Great Day- Andy Partridge
Dearest- Buddy Holly
Streets Of Bakersfield- Dwight Yoakam & Buck Owens
My Gal- The Lovin' Spoonful
I Go Astray- Jason Falkner
It's here.
Dig in.
I had a folder of over 100 cover versions by Marshall Crenshaw, from a variety of sources going back to 1981, in varying degrees of audio quality. A few weeks ago I separated the wheat from the chaff and got the number down to 42. But still, more than half of the 42, were imperfect. I did manage to pull a dozen for a pretty enjoyable playlist and that's what is here for your unzipping pleasure.
If it goes over well, I'll squeeze out another 12.
