Not, as in, I purchased these records as a gift for Bruce Langhorne, but, you know, bought them because he plays on 'em. Or at least the second one, right? Must revisit.

THer box set is pretty great. Is it still available? Think it was even mid price type cheap when I bought it.

Nice, thanks! Thought this revive would be about recent documentary on Mimi’s sister.

Which Mimi features in of course.

Much younger than he was, Mimi may have merely been a stepping stone in his anticipated career that ended so abruptly on a Carmel, CA, road a year later

Fatal motorcycle accident is in the doc as well. My understanding is that Mimi never really got over it.
Whatever that means of course.

What with the droning, the faux-polite hipster drawl and the obligatory Celtic content it has a bit of a VU vibe to it.
