Dug this one out this evening from 2012. Crown and Treaty was my favourite album from that year and this live acoustic performance sums up Tim Eisenburg's massive talent...just a short time to wait for their new album, which will no doubt be criminally overlooked again.

Here is one of Hamilton, Ontario's great blues musicians - Richard Newell (aka King Biscuit Boy), doing a song called "Hoy Hoy Hoy". This is from a German TV program broadcast in December, 1971. The backing group is the Birmingham band Idle Race (Jeff Lynne was in that band in the 60s).

I have just noticed harvey's posting of Allen Toussaint's "Last Train" above (post #5322).

 

Here is what Hamilton's King Biscuit Boy (Richard Newell) sounds like when filtered through the production work of Allen Toussaint. The song is called "Mean Old Lady", recorded in 1974.

First album i've listened to in a long time that I just haven't been able to switch off. Listened to it all the way through 3 times in the last 24 hours!

 

Must be a bloody long album!

I'm liking the Father John Misty album too. His previous album is worth a listen too. :)

 

Definite echoes of The National on the album, really good stuff. Will have to give the previous album a go as well.

Paul Weller - Whirlpools end (no idea why they've mashed this video in tbh)

 

Liking his new tune atm. Off t'see him with the mother at the end of the month with Johnny Marr playing support. Hopefully the knee is better, as we are standing!

Just been listening to the Sleaford Mods live. Bloody brilliant, lots of anger. Ill never for the life of me understand why The Joiners is considered such a good venue though Its a freaking dump.

The Wedgewood Rooms Are good, The Fat Fox Southsea, Railway Winchester, Talking Heads Portswood, Engine Rooms, The Brook Portswood. The Joiners, poor bar service,no aircon,ridiculous L-shaped viewing area, even the area walking by the bar is about 3 ft wide and is a journey and and a half.

Ah ok, I see what you mean now. Again, haven't been to any of those places either so can't compare.

 

Still mourn the loss of the Cockpit in Leeds, and the Astoria. They were both proper dumps, but glorious in their own crappy ways. Good memories of some fun gigs there.

All the Joiners has is the name and the history. They've done nothing to it in years, although that is likely down to a lack of cash.

 

The beer is absolutely foul, the rooms are a stupid shape and it gets impossibly crowded for the sold out gigs.

 

Sadly they've painted over my favourite graffiti which said "657 crew" and underneath someone had written "average attendance at Fratton Park". I'm easily pleased but this made me laugh every time I went for a slash for about 10 years.
