Emoney serves more of a purpose than any of you, especially Nate, whose incessant, garbled ramblings are so mindless and pointless that I get depressed just seeing them.

The record that brought the two together, Dear Companion, is a Southern affair through and through, with Jim James of Monsters of Folk and My Morning Jacket pulling production duties. The album is folky and light, but it’s also got their shared spirit of altruism and activism thread throughout the record, specifically the impact of the Mountaintop Removal coal mining and its impact on the people and culture of Appalachia. The title track best represents the spirit of the album. The song take the staples of down-home folk, the guitar and dancing fiddle, and spin it into a sinister and dark tale of some strained relationship. While Martin’s voice, which is haunting and engaging as it moves through the beat as steady as a knife and as thin as a vapor, dominates the track, Sollee’s musicianship punctuates the track, creating much of the feel of the song and moving it along in a frantic pace unlike any other mountain jam you’ve ever heard without losing the emotional connection. Here’s where we should say something about the South rising again.

right this minute i'm listening to a mixed CD I made the other day that has: Allman Brothers Blue Oyster Cult Elton John Joe Walsh Led Zeppelin Rolling Stones and Creedence Clearwater Revival
For anyone interested, that Pat Metheny album I posted above is a crazy new concept he came up with (based on 19th century mechanical devices like player pianos) where he rigs a wide range of instruments to react while he plays the guitar. Check out the video, and listen to the album. It's amazing.

I did. Stunning.
Honestly, this is already looking to be in my top 10 for '10.
Side note: if you ever get to see a real orchestrion in action, do so. Back when I worked for a piano business one of our regular clients was a guy who had a shop in downtown Baltimore who restored unusual antique furniture. He actually had a collection of about three orchestrions that he had restored to working condition. To see these massive apparati in action, with their organ pipes, snare drums, cymbals and even mini horns was something that made a big impression on me.
