And another live track from my favourite artist of the last 5 years or so, The Bones of J.R Jones.

Not sure if previously posted, but I'd love to see this live.

edit:  Look for Max Gawn (in light blue t-shirt) at 0:39!!

Now THAT is my kind of music! He reminds me a little of the Melbourne based singer, Archer.

This following song however, is in a style far removed from Jones’s bones’s. I love the fragility of the vocals and the sound in general; a great band in my opinion.

One of the great stories...

Thanks for that Ray.  It's a most entertaining retelling of the story.

Gram (real name Ingram) made some wonderful music as a band member and also as a solo artist.  "Grievous Angel" is one of my all-time favourite albums.

Another version of the story is that Kaufman was charged with "Gram Theft Parsons".

Have you seen the movie (Grand Theft Parsons) 'Demonstone'? I see there is  a full version up on Youtube. Must watch it again....

Wasn't even aware of it, @rjay.  Will have to check it out.  Thanks for the tip.

Love Bev, a beautiful soul...she can really sing and lights up the room wherever she goes.

So, are we in need a bit of chillout jazz/rock? (or however else you might describe Steely Dan's Gaucho)

Terrific album, all the same (all 7 songs from the album will play)

How is it all going back on the vinyl, rjay

It's something I'll no doubt do down the track (someday)

I've heard new vinyl is a tad expensive but that earthy sound quality would make it worthwhile, yeah? 

And do all the modern artists offer a vinyl alternative?

I love it 'Macca', but I'm listening to my old vinyl & haven't bought any new stuff.

There are some pretty expensive new & reissued vinyl releases out there.

Not sure it's as good as the old but it's fun to put a record on & listen to a side then turn it over & listen to the other...

Once more to the self promotion parapets my friends!!

I thought I’d chuck in a link to a video containing a sampling of a few tunes played by my band, Los Romeos Oxidados (plus a couple of ring-ins on guitars) at our gig just this Saturday (07/09/2024), at The Gasoline Pony in the Sydney suburb of Marrickville.

I hope you enjoy it.

The Hard Ons are a fantastic live band. Blacky the guitarist and Raymond Ann the bassist have another band Nunchucka Superfly that play around Sydney, and Blacky does the occasional solo show. I run into him every now and then as we both live in the same suburb; in fact I’m hoping he might accept my invitation to sit in with my band for a few tunes, tomorrow (I have what my band mates probably think is a bad habit, of inviting guests to sit in with the band).

He informed me that they’re playing in Melbourne, so unfortunately, it’s negatory!

Have caught Nunchuka Superfly in Geelong and Melbourne a few times as well. Prefer the Hard-Ons though.

Had to say goodbye to my old cat last month, played this song too often in the last month. It's the final song in a trilogy of of songs (first two released by The Weakerthans) about the relationship between a pet owner in the throes of depression/life and Virtute the Cat. The first two songs are written from the perspective of the cat but this one the cat is basically resurrected in the mind of its recovering owner. Some very good songwriting about a fictional cat.
