so did anyone else pick up this compilation of rare tracks on the label run by grouper's liz harris?
this one: http://www.discogs.com/Roy-Montgomery-324-E-13th-Street-7/release/5617716
it's a reissue of a 1999 compilation I've never actually seen, in pretty fancy packaging with a poster and stuff.

also should i get the hey badfinger thing? the record store down the street has it for $9.
that comp is essential. crucial. Something Else Again is one of my favorite singles ever, and the Shallows is necessary.
― dan selzer, Friday, 9 May 2014 21:12 (nine years ago) link
Yeah that comp is above/beyond. Have it on the original run. (RIP Drunken Fish.)

sold

Is it his usual guitar stuff or are there other instruments??
My drum part for Ill at Home is coming along and now I can't really think of the song without the drum part, which makes me wonder why I keep trying to ruin perfectly good Roy Montgomery songs?!
― funch dressing (La Lechera), Saturday, 10 May 2014 00:12 (nine years ago) link
I think one song has a tambourine? but yeah, pretty much all guitar + vocals.
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Saturday, 10 May 2014 00:24 (nine years ago) link
jeez, amateurist, I am envious of you getting to hear this compilation for the first time. my favorite is some other time.
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Saturday, 10 May 2014 00:27 (nine years ago) link
got one from Little Axe distro in PDX for $24
I have the E.N.D. single on Drunken Fish but have never heard the rest of this stuff afaik

Oh man, that looks fantastic, I posted last week about Spotify leading me on by posting new Roy Montgomery: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MC_rBBAiC2Y/maxresdefault.jpg

― erry red flag (f. hazel), Saturday, 10 September 2016 20:46 (seven years ago) link
I posted that Roy Montgomery link to the proper Roy Montgomery's facebook wall to much hilarity.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 10 September 2016 20:56 (seven years ago) link
but seriously, I ordered the box set, and... that is a lot of roy montgomery all at once!

No complaints, of course.

Anyone have "Live At The Gladstone Hotel"? There's a hidden track or two tacked on to the end of "Hurricane Fighter Plane", anyone know what they are?

If I had to pick one song:

thanks
― dan selzer, Thursday, 20 October 2016 04:37 (seven years ago) link
wanted to do the same thing with the digital tracks myself :)
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Thursday, 20 October 2016 04:37 (seven years ago) link
weird. on digital files, song is called "Five Bears at Two Guns Arizona"
― dan selzer, Thursday, 20 October 2016 04:38 (seven years ago) link
Guessing it should be "Ten Beers with Five Bears at Two Guns, Arizona"
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Thursday, 20 October 2016 04:40 (seven years ago) link
Thanks for that. Arranged the digital tracks similarly.
― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 21 October 2016 08:18 (seven years ago) link
some of this stuff is really trippy, closer to like william tyler and dustin wong or kaki king than the blues stuff i'd imagined

"down from that hill and up from the pond" and "ill at home" remain my 2 favorite roy montgomery songs, "winding it out in the high country" and that whole album toocan someone give me a little description of what's in this box set?
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 21 October 2016 18:49 (seven years ago) link
you guys this box set is so so good
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Tuesday, 1 November 2016 03:39 (seven years ago) link
LL, you have probably investigated by now but it's four albums of new material, one with vocals three instrumental. so far I like Bender the most, but it's going to take a while. as a whole it falls more on the scenes from the south island side than the temple IV side, but darkmotif dancehall has some of the heaviness of now the rain sounds...
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Tuesday, 1 November 2016 03:46 (seven years ago) link
Love his instrumentals but can't take his voice
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Tuesday, 1 November 2016 12:36 (seven years ago) link
I haven't investigated -- I have been really busy! Thank you -- that's exactly what I wanted to know :) Three instrumental is a good sign!Not a huge fan of his voice either unless he is whispering creepily. It's alright.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Tuesday, 1 November 2016 12:43 (seven years ago) link
I love his voice because I can sing along to it, unlike 99% of the vocalists I love
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Tuesday, 1 November 2016 13:40 (seven years ago) link
Ha! I know the feeling.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Tuesday, 1 November 2016 13:52 (seven years ago) link
Love his voice and always happy to hear it.

Bought the new issue of the Wire for the Roy article, probably first time buying an issue since the mid 90s!
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 1 November 2016 15:44 (seven years ago) link
No offense to the Wire, I just don't buy magazines much.
As the Sun Sets from Tropic of Anodyne is my theme song for 2017.
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Monday, 9 January 2017 01:33 (seven years ago) link
aaaaaaand new album:
https://grapefruitrecordclub.com/products/montgomery-roy-suffuse-lp-with-bonus-second-lp-option-pre-order
Called "Suffuse" and it's got tracks he wrote for a handful of guest vocalists, most of whom seem to have taken him up on the offer!
1) Apparition (with Haley Fohr)2) Rainbird (with She Keeps Bees)3) Outsider Love Ballad No 1 (with Katie Von Schleicher)4) Mirage (with Purple Pilgrims)5) Sigma Octantis (with Julianna Barwick)6) Landfall (with Liz Harris)
There's a bonus LP available with the vinyl edition which seems to have instantly sold out.
