  • Seems like a lot of music I've been listening to lately has some echoes of Exile era Stones. Frank Black's "Black Letter Days", The Dexateens' "Hardwire Healing" and Drive By Truckers' "A Blessing and A Curse" come to mind.
    BTW, I visited Nashville Fri. night to see the White Stripes in a little venue downtown. First time seeing the band and the city and they both left me wanting more. Entertaining opening act, Dan Sartain as well.
    Thanks for the mp3s.
  • I love that picture - says it all, and they're having so damned much fun.

I have photos of myself and friends striking the same pose in various studios making much less impactful music, but you can bet your ass we were having fun!



    Anybody looking to hear some great whiskey rock, pick up any used copy of any Georgia Satellites record.

    Have the Kings record you recommended and am through 5 or 6 tunes on it thus far. I'll give it a few more spins and get back to you as to it being a sign that there is water flowing under the ground that was once fertile rock soil. While I remain skeptical, I'd like to hear that hope exists.



    Rock is dead, long live rock!
