yeah, i'm liking it a lot thus far.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 17:15 (twelve years ago) link
I never see Fog Hat Ramble, and I'm dying to know if he expands on the Bent City sounds or something else? Little info exist on him.

really digging Peter Lang lately! guy plays small cafe and club shows here in Mpls on the regular, i need to go see him...
also my friend took lessons from him, which WOW how cool would that be?

not takoma, but related: here's peter lang's brother mark! i like this record a lot.
― 69, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 18:12 (twelve years ago) link
ooh yeah, he's got a track on the numero group guitar soli release -- nice stuff. is that record available anywhere? love peter lang. he's more flamenco-y these days, no?
― tylerw, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 18:16 (twelve years ago) link
from people that have seen some recent gigs i guess he's actually doing lots of stuff from his older takoma albums, i kinda wonder if he's realized there's more of a market for that stuff now than he thought there was
here's a more recent clip:

that particular piece i have on this Takoma record that's a 12 inch split 3 ways between Lang, Kottke and Fahey
― the penultimate prophets (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 18:26 (twelve years ago) link
but it's super bad that i haven't gone to see him, it's like seeing a guy on the level of leo or fahey for like $10 cover at a bar
― the penultimate prophets (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 18:29 (twelve years ago) link
that sounds nice. i'd go see him! sweet shirt too.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 18:31 (twelve years ago) link
yeah my friend bought six small group (like 6/7 ppl) lessons w/Lang and said it was really great, he's a great teacher and ....brace yourself...a really nice eccentric older gentleman
― the penultimate prophets (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 18:32 (twelve years ago) link
love love love the "Sunflower River Blues" on that Fahey/Kottke/Lang LP
― Flat Of NAGLs (sleeve), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago) link
is that LP the most common Takoma LP? i got it for a buck, but never see any of the other Takoma stuff. Not that I'm a deep crate-digger or anything.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 18:37 (twelve years ago) link
i just picked that up on vinyl (been hella copies of that floating around minneapolis -- and sealed too! someone must've found a box of them), really just an amazing folk record all around....
― the penultimate prophets (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 18:38 (twelve years ago) link
xpost - huh weird they must've over pressed that one or something, thought it was just specific to minneapolis...but yeah i got a sealed copy for $7
i bet it's more common because when it was released kottke was already a "star" or at least a star in takoma terms.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 18:43 (twelve years ago) link
hey M@tt i got a copy of kottke live at the scholar today in a trade!

Now what is that artist's name? Can't quite make out his signature.

you should talk to JJ but it sounds like their tape archives were like epic and unreal classic folk & blues artists, believe they were working to maybe see them released officially
― the penultimate prophets (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 19:09 (twelve years ago) link
sounds neat -- the scholar is where kottke recorded his first album, right?
― tylerw, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 19:35 (twelve years ago) link
think so? from what jj told me that place got like the "who's who" of american folk & blues coming through in the 60s
― the penultimate prophets (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 19:36 (twelve years ago) link
Who ever did the art for the early Takoma records was onto something. They are very fitting for the music and I'd even like large framed ones of a few, if that existed...
― JacobSanders, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
Anyone heard 'Last Chance on the Merry Go Round" by Lost Gonzo Band? Also recently found Stone Mountain Boys self titled, nice newgrass record, been playing it a lot.
― JacobSanders, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:20 (twelve years ago) link
is this the Fahey-Lang-Kottke you guys were talking about? I've seen one with a different cover than this.http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61ECWC-H-dL._SS500_.jpg

dow the fahey/lang/leo thing you posted is the one i have, really great stuff
it's kinda funny cuz the dudes are soo stylistically similar at that point it's kinda hard to tell them apart

hiow do you guys feel about norman blake? i like his takoma studio record more than the takoma live LP; it's his rounder & flying fish LPs that really kill me sometimes...
― one dis leads to another (ian), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 17:43 (twelve years ago) link
i've only heard whiskey before breakfast, but i like it a lot. is that on rounder? can't remember. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-6alHEC12I
― tylerw, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 17:47 (twelve years ago) link
that is one i don't have! sounds great though.. i'm listening to "back home in sulphur springs" (on rounder) atm and it's so great. i also rate "blackberry blossom" and "the fields of november" highly. i think they're on flying fish.

yeah i'm kind of in love with "slow train to georgia" but I don't actually own that record, a friend played it for me. he seems great, though, need to check him out further.

I really love Blackberry Blossom by Norman Blake, actually I've liked everything I gotten on Flying Fish. Recently I found http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51jBE532ZwL._SL500_AA300_.jpg which was released on Hogeye records but reissued on Flying Fish, really nice country folk record. I need more flying fish, there ought to be a thread....
