Does that make me a faux listener and lover of Gallaramy?

So you guys think you’re the only fake-country band covered by a fake-raga band made up of D.C. rock heroes? Don’t you remember… never mind.

You guys think you’re soooo special.

I’ll listen to your beautiful, perfect melodies of melancholy and twangy angst. But I won’t like it! Not one bit, damn it.

With love,
Walter

Wow, the solos on those two songs from Chesapeake are unreal!

For the record, jimmymontreal’s efforts in “helping” to produce both Gallaramy albums absolutely dwarf any contributions from me.

I will, however, take full credit for the name “Gallaramy”; for dreaming up the reggae tribute; and for inspiring you musically to begin with (I can only assume).

Ryan, you would clearly fail the judges admissions exam.

Aaaaaaaaand I’m back!

My summer vacation really took the ol’ music bloggin’ wind outta my sails. Sorry to have not replied to this post earlier, because this was a good introduction to Adele, who I had only heard of in passing.

This voice is amazing. “Right As Rain” is absolutely killer. And you’re right: “Dusty Springfield” was the first thing that popped into my head. I guess that may have something to do with the swingin’ sixties vibe of this song, though.

But what’s up with the orchestral bridge in “Tired”? She lost me there.

Thanks for the heads up on Adele, buddy. Gonna have to pick this album up.

thanks for an informative and highly amusing blog - loved it….

All music is subjective and when you get to a certain age - although not quite as old as the codger smitch linked you find none of it matters anymore. You like what you like and who the hell cares why….

I have to stand up and say though that I just don’t much like Radiohead. I’m with Shane on that one.

P.S. The album also contains a cover of one of my favorite later-years Bob Dylan songs. I wanted to devote the post to her originals, but give it a listen here.
