Good to see some more Jack stuff being released. I admittedly still need to pick up Luck in the Valley -- will do that this week.

Agree -- it's fabulous.

A year ago today.

Rest well, sir. We all still miss ya.

^^^^^ this

^^^^^^

love this guy 4eva

Yo La Tengo dedicated a song to him at Maxwell's last night.

can't believe it's a year already. listened to z.m. dagar playing raga yaman the other night and thought of him.

dedication in the new Six Organs of Admittance record:

"Missing you, Dr. Ragtime. Now who will call bullshit on the bullshitters?"

Coming this month:

Thurston Moore - VDSQ Solo Acoustic Volume Five
12 String Meditations For Jack Rose

Solo, untreated, 12-string compositions in tribute to one
of the greats. An album of instrumentals in requiem.

Really miss Jack. The few times I had the privilege of seeing him live are forever burned in my memory. A truly savage loss.

Nice syllabus

would enroll

idk what he wld have made of this. i wonder if it means money for his estate.

Four years.

Yeah, still sad. I am now older than he was when he passed.

New Pelt album has some heavy Jack-inspired moments on it related to their shared history, as well as a song called "Of Jack's Darbari" (the album is also called "Effigy", though I don't think it is solely because of Jack being gone). It is a great record and a very fitting way to pay tribute in some ways, barring just playing a ton of Rose's albums and the Pelt records he is actually on.

three years, but yeah, still a bummer. listened to luck in the valley last week and it really seemed like he was just getting started. haven't heard the new pelt yet, but will seek it out!

It's really good Tyler, and pretty unique to my ears. Still doing the all acoustic drone thing from the last 2 records or so, but even more of a strange mix of instruments/strategies.

agreed that the new Pelt is great. soundscape with the jaw harp blows me away.

it's LP/Digital only...the record is nice. sounds great, too. out here: http://mie.limitedrun.com/products/504355-pelt-effigy

also can't believe it's been 4 yrs...saw him play just a month before he passed, and was lucky enough to see him & pelt at the last Terrastock. great shows.

Forever missed:

Man, reminiscences of Jack are just so interesting, cause everyone feels compelled to lay a heavy story or two on you, which speaks volumes about the path this guy cut through music/life. Hope there are a bunch of unreleased beauts out there awaiting release, just cause it would be nice, but still sad there won't be new tunes.

nice article... yeah, there should be some sort of big jack rose box set w/ unreleased stuff.
by the way, anyone have this? http://oh-be-joyful.blogspot.com/2010/11/nice-and-nasty-selections-from-dr.html [link is dead there...]

listened to "two originals of..." last night -- man, "red horse" has to be up there with the all time great Takoma epics. the whole thing is stunning.

Yeah man, that is killer. I need to own more Jack Rose records.

I suppose red horse was the first solo piece he released? arrives perfectly-formed. that bit ~1.20-1.50, gaaaah. mb the only thing that withstands comparison to the great san bernardino birthday party. it was always a beautiful, melancholy piece but it feels so sad now.

think i posted this over on the other thread, but if you missed it - http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/49362884245/jack-rose-peel-sessions-two-very-much-missed

Whoa, thanks Tyler. If you posted it already I missed it.

I wonder how much of this (Red Horse)was improvised? Some of it is so damn good it is hard to imagine it being so, but it seems a lot of times pieces this long are "loosely structured" so say the least. I gotta say, that interview in Arthur was really enlightening, just full of cool details. Like I said, I gotta get more Jack Rose records.

Sad doesn't even begin to describe the feeling. The way he pushed himself, and the run he was on, made it pretty evident that he had some tremendous things ahead of him. Just a shame, but at least he got a pretty decent amount out whilst charging ahead.

xp sun dogs! heard him play it in a church & it was the most incredible thing

by the way, anyone have this? http://oh-be-joyful.blogspot.com/2010/11/nice-and-nasty-selections-from-dr.html [link is dead there...]

Yeah I have that. Pretty lo-fi (in both sound & packaging) CDr. Don't recall if I got it from Volcanic Tongue or Rough Trade.

ysi? actually i'd just settle for a tracklisting...

i have that nice and nasty thing. could post a track listing tomorrow.

VHF have put their entire in print catalog on Soundcloud and that includes _Kensington Blues_...

As mentioned upthread re: the Arthur issue it appeared in, the extensive interview with Jack done a few months before he died

http://arthurmag.com/2013/12/04/ah-man-a-career-spanning-conversation-with-jack-rose-by-brian-rademaekers-from-arthur-no-33/

great interview...
amateurist (or anyone else) would still like to see the tracklisting of that nice and nasty comp....

That interview is great. There is a Coley rundown of Rose's recordings in that issue as well I believe, which is also great.

Still sad as hell that he passed.

totally...
they've put up that discography as well it seems: http://arthurmag.com/2013/12/04/jack-rose-discography-by-byron-coley-from-arthur-no-33

still some stray tracks i need to hear... like the "hey fuck you rag"!

http://www.terrascope.co.uk/features/Images/jack%20card.jpg

Man, never seen any of those "damaged guitar gods" cards. Cool idea, are they posted generally somewhere?

Also, I also haven't heard "Hey Fuck You Rag" but imagine that it is amazing based on the title alone.

the damaged guitar god things have been in a few issues of the Galactic Zoo Dossier mag -- I've only got one set. but they are pretty fun!

Yeah, I knew the Galactic Zoo Dossier guy did them, but had never seen them. Thanks for sharing, fun indeed. Maybe another thing to add to the Christmas list ....
