Music of the Moment

Les, I wonder if you might like Wilco or maybe its predecessor Uncle Tupelo? That last song you posted reminded me a little of one of their songs. (No shame if not, everyone has their own tastes!)

I revisited this song (not the one I was thinking of) and found its wisdom both timely and timeless…

One of Jeff’s songs from UT, the one I was actually thinking of :

Very perceptive M!

Yes I have been an Uncle Tupelo fan forever and Wilco is great too. So prolific it's been hard to keep up.

The Mint Mile People and Jeff Tweedy at least know each other all being in Chicago nowadays.

I will complete the circle now with a Son Volt. The other half of Uncle Tupelo.

I have been looking for Christmas songs (or renditions of them) that I actually enjoy. Some Christmas music boils my head but I ran across this album and liked it well enough (found it by searching “christmas” + “folk” tags). I thought it interesting that bouzouki was used too! The Carol of the Beasts might be the Christmas carol I’ve liked best so far. But I haven’t heard the whole album.

I also listened to Joan Baez’s Noel since I had enjoyed other of her music, and found it nice. The woodwinds in I Wonder as I Wander had an interesting quality. That is the other song that has stood out to me.

The Derby Ram also stands out as being hilariously nonsensical!

New Year. Old songs. All from TX. Y'all.
