A good thing because you have steered him clear from Trad Irish for the time being ( OJO).My 19 yo son has better playlists of sixties and seventies classics, than I do.
Nothing wrong with a bit of trad.A good thing because you have steered him clear from Trad Irish for the time being ( OJO).
I agree hence my OJO acronym.Nothing wrong with a bit of trad.
It has it’s place of course….
In the pub after 5 pints of Guinness.
It is too late for the scoring, but glad you enjoyed the listen.Hope it's not too late as I've been too busy to listen to Josh Ritter, but managed to listen to it this morning
I quite liked it, some decent songs on there and a nice variety.
7/10
Mink DeVille.Classic single.
I really liked his early stuff, I remember in the hot summer of 76 driving around in my triumph spitfire with a cassette of ‘Pressure Drop’ on one side and The Dan’s ‘Pretzel Logic’ on the other,till the tape machine ate it!I know Palmer gets dissed a lot and maybe he deserves it but I love his version of Bad Case of Loving You and a lot of his other stuff.
I love All Mixed Up and especially Bye Bye Love (I always sing “It’s just a fuckin’ lullaby” instead of “broken lullaby”) from the first record; the whole thing is great. It’s also on that Larkin list, and I always liked Candy-O a little more. I also like Panorama and played it a lot when it came out, but it’s a bit slower. I do love “Since You’re Gone” from “Shake It Up” too. These boys could write a hook for sure. Also agree “Lust For Kicks” is the throwaway here — not one of their better efforts.
I might be first cab of the rank for this one largely because I don't need to play it again and again as I have done so for over 40 years now.
I might be slandered for being biased and deservedly so because I am such a huge fan of Ric O from his Richard and the Rabbits days ( what a name for a group ) onwards.
If it was Panorama it would be a 9 but its an 8 for me and anybody who loves power pop / rock or new wave should have this album in their collection.
My only regret is I never saw the Cars live but my collection more than makes up for it.
Not a weak track on the whole album for me and they all compliment each other to a nicety , the production is right on the money.
