Am I to assume this means that you've already listened to it and dig it and I should pick something else? Speak true for I am drunk.

No I haven't heard it, but there's always time for Townes! Any idol and mentor of Steve Earle is a friend of mine.

Title: The vile stuff
Artiste: Richard Dawson
Genre: Folk
Taken from: Nothing Important
Familiarity: Zero
Suggested by: Frownland (who else would suggest a sixteen-minute track?)

Expectations: see previous track.

Interesting that this is a folk song, and yet runs for almost half the length of a decent EP and even the odd album. Discordant twangs on the acoustic guitar, echoing back into the stillness. Now notes and chords as the intensity increases, marching, punching percussion joining in and it actually sounds quite psychedelic, sort of Doors-ish really. Interesting vocal style, sort of like an Eastern chant or something, and the lyrics are very, well, descriptive. And hilarious. The way he takes ordinary situations like his MacBook becoming covered in soup and makes a powerful lyric about it. Got to love this guy.

Conclusion: For once, Frownland, I love one of your tracks. This was so different, but unlike most of the stuff you've recced me, different in a good way. A great way in fact.

So, Love or Hate? Shock! Horror! It's a True Love!

Possibility of looking into the album: 100%

Wait, is that the Richard Dawson? The Family Feud and Hogan's Heroes guy?

C'mon guys, pick up the pace! I have a couple albums to fit in here!
