"Attics Of My Life" by Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams, with Amy Helm on the third part of the delicious 3-part harmony singing. The song was written by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter, and if it was recorded by The Dead I doubt it sounds as good as this version. Jerry wrote some good songs, but he and Bob’s harmonies were rather sour sounding (calm down Deadheads, you know it’s true). The 3-part by Larry, Teresa, and Amy is Angelic. By the way, Garcia was himself a fan of The Louvin Brothers, and Hillbilly and Bluegrass music in general. Most of his side-projects were in those genres of music, beginning with Old & In The Way. |

@boxer12 - Elvis Costello / Let Him Dangle Reminds me, I need to spin my copy of Spike. Haven't played it in a while. Probably in my top 5 favorite Elvis Costello albums. |
"You’re Running Wild", by Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams, which makes the hair on my head stand straight up. A new-ish recording of the old song originally done by The Louvin Brothers (the model for the Everly Brothers, and a favorite of the likes of Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, and Chris Hillman), first heard by me in Buddy Miller’s fantastic recording of the song. The song is included on Larry and Teresa’s excellent s/t album on Red House Records, and features Levon Helm (Larry’s old boss) on drums. Available on LP and CD, but the recorded sound quality is mediocre. Not bad enough to prevent the enjoyment of the music, which is fantastic. Superior songs throughout, superb 2- and 3-part harmonies, tasty musicianship. |
