... maybe not as often as I would like... but that's another story... oh, yes. I genuinely think they are a great lost band who should have been enormous or at least big enough to provide the finances that would have sustained the creativity of at the very least Dave. Now the rest are 2 musos, a teacher, a lawyer and an architect.
I think as much information as needed is on their website and as its run by Graham from the band it has a more than average degree of truthfulness about it.
The tragic stuff is at that lairoftheredpony site I sent a link for.
Glad you are still enjoying them.
Follow Ups:
of carrying on a months old dialogue with you about these (IMHO vital albums) and doing it piece by piece, having lawyers and Nanny-folk butting in to what they have no clue about and no dog in the hunt....besides that...Uh....I tried Black Swan...whoa, a totally different horse of another color...or something close.
But....Let me toss this one in:
Gene Clark, in spite of the LOST
WEEK I spent with him and the two most exciting and crazed girls on earth...besides that, the album I recently learned of and sent off for and just got along with yours and 8 other CD packages all on the same frigging day......
The Gosdin Bothers...Sounds of Goodbye...Holy Shit, part of the GRAIL.
This is the closest thing to the Gene Clark sound I have heard. These guys could sing. It is an excellent CD and you need to get it. Strong tunes, amazing musical licks.....I now know why Gene went with them....
Boy, I miss him.
They formed the first Gene pool!
The only thing of theirs I have is the album with Gene. When was this other album recorded? I will have to do some checking on Allmusic but will try not to lift articles from there wholesale and paste them here...
I think Black Swan is clearly the band at the end of its natural life. Too Hot To Move and New Year's Greeting I think are beautiful and show a lush area that Dave McComb might have mined successfully if, and its a big IF, the band had carried on and had large enough sales to support major production costs.
If you check the photos on the solo album you can see the changes in DM's appearance. He clearly wasn't a healthy guy by that time, even if the heart problems were not obvious or diagnosed, but it was touring to supprt that album when he was taken ill and returned to Australia (from New York I believe).
I can't get a handle on the relationship/influence of Will Akers. ONe minute he's co-writing songs and (presumably) having the solo album named after him, whilst being a completely broke street person. After DM's death, Akers seems to have disappeared off the planet.
I don't feel comfortable asking Graham Lee about it. After all its really none of my business and I am just being nosey about a personal tragedy and I don't think that would go down well.
Gosdin Bros. Was put together from 1966-68. When the Byrds, Clarence White and they themselves were all about as shit hot as they would ever be. Some of the songs are as if Gene is with them singing, though he was not, it was that close to his sound.....or, and this is a can of worms, maybe his sound was theirs?
This is better than the album Gene did with them backing him up. In fact it seems as if all the same folks are on it except Gene and with the Brothers 2 remarkable voices mixed up and center and way out in front.
There are 24 songs on it. Vern sounds a bit like a more smooth Ian Tyson.....Amazon has it.
on the Gosdin's....We should genuflect. An awesome axeman and I did not know the Byrds backed this.....
