Vic Chesnutt 1964 ~ 2009

I'm a machinist at the Springfield armory
Just slightly ahead of my time
But I don't make much money
So I sell eggs and chickens on the side

I'm good at what I do
And I take great pride
But I don't make much money
So I sell eggs and chickens on the side

And my wife does love me
But she can't realize
Why I won't go back down south
And leave the armory behind

But I love my job
I'll shave metal until I die
And until I do, I'll take on
Any extra thing it takes to provide

And I know it'll kill me
Breathing all those fumes
But I'd sooner sniff solution
Than a baker's dozen hothouse blooms

And my wife does love me
But she can't realize
Why I won't go back down south
And leave the armory behind

But I feel it is important
What I do upon my lathe
I pledge to do the detail work
Until my expiration day
Until my expiration day
Until my expiration day
Until my expiration day

Rest In Peace Vic.

Downtempo electronica with organic instruments. I love it.

Tom Petty - Live Anthology

Discs 1-2 Sendspace Link

Discs 3-4 Sendspace Link

A brand new 4 disc box set of live material spanning Tom Petty's career. All his standards and some covers too.

Van Morrison - Tupelo Honey

Sendspace Link

Remastered with two bonus tracks.

Willis Alan Ramsey

Sendspace Link

Released in 1972 this out of print album received critical praise and put Willis on the map. For unknown reasons he never put out any more music. Fans of Panic will recognize "Geraldine The Honeybee" and "Wishbone". Great songwriting, and feel good music.

The Beta Band - The Three E.P.'s

Sendspace Link

Head bobbin psychedelic/folk/electronic Irish music. I still remember where I was when I heard this album for the first time. If you don't love the first song, I'm not sure we can ever be friends.

Ryan Adams - This One's For The Rose

Sendspace Link

This is a "best of" collection taken from Ryan's many unreleased studio session albums. It's as good as any of his released stuff in my opinion. The song "Walls" is my favorite song of his right now. Thanks to the "This Mornin'" blog for putting this together.
