I just streamed their title album and am listening to Honor Among Thieves now. Good pick!
artful dodger, "rave on"-- swansong from a great, underappreciated guitar pop band somewhere between badfinger and the small faces (the singer sounds a lot like steve marriott). never on cd, afaik, but you can find it on youtube. |
Pulled out my US of A after @middlemass posted it. Moved on to High Tide - Sea Shanties and then New Sound of Numbers - Liberty Seeds. Ended up being an electrified strings kind of session. |
@curiousjim glad you're enjoying artful dodger--they have a third major label record, babes on broadway, which is terrible, but the first two and the aforesaid "rave on" are the bomb. further picks today: rage to live, s/t--very intelligent 80s altrock w/some country & r&b overtones--the principal has a lot of range as a songwriter and fully half these tunes are classic. robin lane & the chartbusters, s/t--jangly bar band sorta reminiscent of (and virtually as good as) the pretenders; i'm sorta surprised they never hit big. |
