Marshall Tucker was a good group. They have got a unique sound with more of a jazz tilt like the Allmans except they have one guy that would play flute or sax. That gave them a more airy sound and bit hard less guitar army, although Toy Caldwell was one of the best guitarists/songwriters of those southern rock groups.

If you like the early B12 and haven't heard early Black Dog or those AI comps, those are good ones to check out too.

^thanks guys! Local record shop said Electro-Soma II will be arriving soon. And apparently a reissue of Time Tourist is/may be in the works!
I have (& deeply love) Black Dog Production's Bytes and the Book of Dogma comp (and even though it's a different beast altogether I love late Black Dog a lot, too). Will look out for the AI comps..

Kubisch's work seems so site specific I can't really imagine listening to recordings divorced from their context.

Whoa I gotta check out that Swamp Pop comp

This is mostly early singles back in Texas. There are a couple of Dylan pastiches that are really cool on this one.

Sounds like they may have upped the treble

Picked this up because the price was right (3 quid on CD) and it's an absolute cracker

re B12/electro-soma

you know I picked up the cd edition back in the day and have loved it ever since.

it was not until this new edition and the press around it release that I became informed that's its actually a compilation

looking forward to the extra release of stuff that was recorded around the time.

That always gets the job done. I'm working through a mix with Gallon Drunk, Laughing Hyenas, American Music Club and the Poster Children at the moment.

Gallon Drunk is a pretty odd group. They definitely got kinda Nick Cave/50s death rocker vocal fetish but they have a hard lounge garage rock sound that is kinda theirs too. It's got a simialr vibe as The Cramps, but the music is centered often around the bassline and noisier. There is a good live in the studio video of them from a few years back that I saw and really loved on Youtube. I got three of their CDs for not much at all and have been rotating them in over the past year or two. Beasts of Bourbon got a different but kinda similar trashy rock sound too. I also been into the Scientists of late completing the trifecta (to a point).

1/4 of the music I play on a radio show that i started recently has to be Irish so I've been running back through a few artists I was semi familiar with. I remember hearing them around the time this was around and thinking of the Meat puppets, possibly it was a peel session or something. This is pretty nice janglepop but I don't hear the offbeat quirkiness I must have heard at the time to be thinking about the MPs.

that latest abrams/natural information society album is most focused and best album yet imo.
