Walt Mink. Do you remeber them? Ever see them?

I thought they were great and super nice.

Finally got a copy of El Producto, an album I've been casually waiting to find me (aka get sold back to the record store I work at), and I really like it! Seems like they could have been much bigger. There is something there for fans of riffs and fans of melodies. Seems to have aged pretty well, but this is coming from someone who has been listening to way too much 90s music lately.

the drummer from this band now plays with flea and thom yorke! it's a crazy world

well uh his family connections didnt hurt tbh

no slight on him as a drummer, i think hes great, but nepotism plays a part in this (unfortunately didnt do so much for walt mink themselves tho)

oh yeah i know that both him and his sis i'm sure got a boost from their dad.

still, you can get a leg up, but you don't evolve into a session/hired gun dude like that unless you can cut it.

i still like that "minneapolis" song by that dog a lot.

I really like "Totally Crushed Out" by that dog. The song "Anymore" is really gorgeous.

I am playing "Showers Down" right now and wondering why I'm not still playing this album every day of my life like I was 20 years ago

Correct response

is thorn still on mpr

I saw Walt Mink live a couple of times in Bloomington back in the 90s. They opened up for fIREHOSE on the Flying the Flannel tour at Jakes and then a year or so later saw them play a show at Second Story. I remember liking them ok and am pretty sure I had a copy of Miss Happiness at one point. I seem to recall they were pretty good but I really don't remember much about their music at this point.

Oh right, was trying to remember what the song i liked by them was. It was Showers Down. Somebody mentions it above. I think I picked up the cd for £2IR or something. Can't really remember the rest of it but do remember that as being pretty good.
Haven't seen the cd in ages so not sure if I might still have it somewhere.

Just learned a few things about this band I never knew:

• Singer/guitarist John Kimbrough is the son of actor Charles Kimbrough, aka Jim on “Murphy Brown.”
• Going by the date and venue, I’m fairly sure I attended their final show — without realizing it was their final show — which was later released as a live album. (I had been a fan in high school, but only when I was out of college did I finally have a chance to see them.)
