yo!.. talent recognizes genius... innit!
in palookaville..
things are drifting..
we are bored with the virus..
and we are bored with this fix..
we look around for clues..
as to what is happening..
where we may be going..
and whose fucking fault it all is..
MISTER MONOPOLY
was one of my nicknames..
when I used to teach..
it's because of the moustache..
anyway..
I know of one or two sources of good info, entertainment and wisdom..
here is a super post from tim knight..
CHEATERS DON'T WIN
as dan hicks and his hot licks would say..
but they can get away with it for a very long time..
always hedge your bets..
or better still..
don't gamble..
it'll do you no good..
It’s about time to take it down a notch or two,
and Dan has the perfect
song for the moment,
“Reelin’ Down.”
A bluesy country number supported
by subtle but highly complex spot harmonies from the ladies,
this quiet
number is
probably the one that best demonstrates the band’s
attention
to the detail in their arrangements.
People who only listen to this
album superficially may not appreciate that beneath the humor,
the funny
clothes and the throwback musical echoes are a group..
of very talented
and serious musicians..
who obviously took great care in putting the
pieces together.
It may sound relaxed and easygoing,
but that effect was
achieved through hard-won effort.
“Reelin’ Down” goes down easy because
these musicians knew..
what the fuck they were doing..
and took the time to
get it right.
