Yes, when you watched the documentaries about him- especially the last one “ Crock of Gold” you really wonder how he kept going as long as he did. Time to rewatch “Crock of Gold” in Hulu.

Spekulatius Posted December 2, 2023 Author Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) @nwoodman Amyl and the sniffers are pretty good. Their records sound a bit flat though (not unusual for punk rock) and I think live the energy comes across much better.

Definitely a band that delivers live though. I had the good fortune to see another Australian export, Parkway Drive at Knottfest earlier this year. They blew me and the crowd away. Got home and listened to a few of their albums and it was the same deal, something seemed to be missing. As you say, some bands/ music styles are just better live.

It's sort of an irish classic now. Many Irish folk bands play it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boilermaker75 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I am listening to the Reigle Family band. The guitarist was in my electromagnetic fields course last semester. She is taking my Keys to Learning class this semester and has dragged her brother, mandolin player, and her sister, the bassist, to the class. This is why I love teaching, meeting amazing students like the Reigles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of his newer stuff is quite good. I like the Laughing Apple. Just discovered it after going through his Albums. He made some so so stuff after taking a long break (decades!) and converting to Islam but this one is just a great folk Album: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
changegonnacome Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The Sam Cooke version remains untouched - but I find myself going back to this Al Green performance every few months to hear my theme song (so to speak): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
