hilarious to me that this doors worship band is named after a song by a guy who famously hated jim morrison and his music

The Doors comparisons didn't make sense to me in 2007 and they still don't in 2023, tbh.

haha yeah — he occasionally has sort of subtly morrison-esque croon but I wouldn't call 'em a Doors worship band. New one is pretty killer, all the players are really good, Barry Walker especially.

Assume you are talking about his new Rose City Band album, otherwise I missed some news!

Huge fan of all things Ripley Johnson and have loved everyhting RCB since the self-titled! tylerw, care to share how this new one compares to the 1st three? more of the same country 'choogle'? cosmic americana? more psych-y perhaps? Barry Walker on the lap steel is always a great thing! Any sneak peek/intel would be greatly appreciated!

i was such a huge Shjips and Moon Duo fan, but i can't get into RCB at all ... and i live close to the RC and i've tried ... just won't take.

I've liked all the Rose City Band stuff but I think the new one is my favorite — I've seen some reviews that don't love its increased space noodle factor, but I love that! The last three tracks in particular are just kind of a long gorgeous reverie. No particular place to go and no hurry to get there.

This is exactly what I needed this morning without knowing I needed it. Very JJ Cale.

Yeah I already held RCB in high regard, but the new one takes it to a whole new level. I've gotten so much mileage out of it.

I really love the first three records, but had kinda decided to sit the latest one out, just because I felt I had enough of them, there's other music to buy etc.But then last night, two beers in, I read tipsy's post, listened to about half of Mariposa, and immediately ordered the record.

this is really scratching my "what else sounds like Relatively Clean Rivers" itch, thanks thread

New one is my favorite too.
A lot of it reminds me of Beachwood Sparks’ The Tarnished Gold—a really terrific and overlooked album. RCB is a lot noodlier but there is still a shared vibe

i can't really hang with this RCB record. it just sounds like easy listening music? i'm not saying that's bad, it's just not for me i guess.

Was pleasantly surprised to hear These Shadows in Episode 8 of The Diplomat on Netflix. Pink Floyd's The Great Gig in the Sky as well.

no man, it's cosmic :)
It's easy to listen to, but in a good way imo. Definitely a vibe, so if you don't vibe with it, c'est ca.
