Soulsavers, Mark Lanegan, Gutter Twins

Yes Richard, I have been both fortunate and entertained.

I would go as far as to say, Greg Dulli is one of the finest song writers alive in this great country today. He consistently produces well crafted, thought provoking material. And, it has soul.

I too, have been fortunate enough to see Marcy perform "My Curse" with Dulli, and it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It is a powerful and moving song. I'd love to see him put the Whigs back together again for a tour, but I don't think it's on the cards. A couple of years ago, I ran into him at a Joseph Arthur show - it was around the time they'd recorded 2 songs for the Rhino retrospective - and asked him if they would consider reforming. He told me that even though they all remained very close, the vibe just wasn't there anymore. Too bad.

Lanegan is simply a force of nature. At the last Soulsavers show, they did a great version of "Hit The City". Thrilling stuff.

so envious of those gutter twins, soulsavers shows! do you have any idea where to find a lossless version of adorata? i think it is the best music thats come out for a long while, i actually like it better than saturnalia but only find it in mp3 download. i don't think it ever came out on disc either.

thanks for the heads up on the soulsavers. their cover of "some misunderstanding", an extremely obscure gene clark track, is fantastic.

Hi Richard, I don't think "Adorata" has been released Losslessly. I haven't bought it yet for that very reason. I keep hoping...

it's worth getting anyway. i held out for a long time and finally just downloaded it. at least it's 320k mp3, it sounds ok but the music is must have stuff. as i mentioned, i really like it better than the first record. dulli and lanegan really seem to be finding their groove together.

i have been asking around and it does not seem to be coming out in disc or lossless, just grab it as is. i think you will be pleased and maybe somewhat surprised at the sound quality.
