Thanks Jeff ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 14:18:24 +0200 From: Katrin.Uhl@t-online.de (Katrin Uhl) Subject: RE: [RS] Ellis Paul That question is really hard to answer - it came up before on different lists and I think those asked always agreed that really, Ellis' albums are all great, one just has to get all of them :-) But I'll still try. It depends on what you rather feel like, the new one, LIVE, is a great album with lots of favorites, but maybe a studio recording would be better for starters. Translucent Soul is a very self-reflecting album while his other three albums are more story-telling albums. If you prefer the latter I would suggest his first album, Say Something. But Translucent Soul is a great first buy as well. So hard to chose... :-) Katrin > A while ago someone on the RS list was discussing Ellis Paul.

Anyway, never mind me..i only got round to ordering 'Blue Divide' yesterday!

But I prefer "Stories" myself. My favorite after that is "Say Something". And of course, "Live" is great because it has a little of everything, including some previously unrecorded material and some of his spoken pieces and stories. By the way, if anyone is going to see that Jim Carrey movie, "Me, Myself, and Irene", Ellis has a song prominently featured in it. "The World Ain't Slowin' Down" is played twice during the movie and then the entire song is played over the ending credits. I love Ellis, but that in itself won't get me to go to a Jim Carrey movie. :-) SMOKEY Embrace what you have in common, celebrate what sets you apart It takes more than the color that you find on a palate to turn humanity into an art... -Ellis Paul ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 14:29:06 -0400 From: Tay Mueller Subject: [RS] Re: shindell-list-digest V2 #137 Hi All- I am new to the list, although not new to Richard, of course! I tend to be more of a lurker, but coming in on the question of -Favorite cover by Richard- inspired me to say hi- and jump right in with my 2 cents-- I do love the live version of Cold Missouri Waters, so that was high on my list, but as great as Richard's version is, it still doesn't touch Keelaghan's. Usually my favorite live moments happen at sound check, (like John Gorka and Jennifer Kimball singing Your Having My Baby and Kumbayah) but I can't recall Richard ever doing something like that. But I do have 2 favorite covers, though they aren't live- A Lover Since Childhood and A Jealous Man both on the cd A Lost World - the poems of Robert Graves set as songs that Jay Ansill put together not too long ago. (This album is just too spectacular to be so little known. ) I always think Richard and Keelaghan have voices which would have been great for a correspondant in the pre-tv era - so clear and distinct, and with that deep, chocolatey smooth quality and the ability to bring out the immediacy and "romance" of travel, history, and the bitter-sweet. It's just perfect for narrative. It's a bard's voice, with the music coming more from cadence and phrasing than a "catchy tune." (though they both do catchy well when they do it) So, hearing the poems of a bard in that voice feels right right away. Anyway- good to be here. Thanks, and Rave On.

This message may not interest many off you due to the geography, sorry. Tickets for the show at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz, CA have been nearly impossible to track down. I have been working with Charlie to find the source. I did! If you want the info, email me off-line. The place only holds 200 and to my knowledge few seats have been sold. This could be your chance for a small crowd and personal show. j a c mailto:clry@chevron.com days mailto:drewclary@juno.com eves ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 19:09:19 -0400 From: "Norman A.

Dar has a song called "Spring Street" and its supposed to be the single from her "very soon to be released and industry people already have it" CD "The Green World". For me, the highlight of the "Spring" EP is the unplugged "Confession". As for Ellis "Katie's true love" Paul: Coincidentally, I just bought LIVE but have yet to play it. It has several of the "Translucent Soul" songs on it. I prefer TS over his other studio CDs. Norman ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2000 00:22:38 -0500 From: "David E.

So here's one great, big, annoying e-mail. Missing: One (sob) "Blue Divide" CD, without jewel case. (sniffle) Signed in thick Sharpie, "To Vanessa, Hey. Richard Shindell." Got it autographed the first time I met him. (I've told this story before, went to see Cry3, scooped up all of Richard's CDs, including Cry3, bypassed mile-long line of angsty teens waiting to meet Dar, blathered something incomprehensible to Richard about how glad I was to meet him, finally; got really weird look, somewhere between utter bemusement and utter fear. . . ) OK, now that I'm finally beginning to not starve, I must ask the official RS-types on this list: are there any more Spring EPs or (gulp) 3x2 CDs left? I am so behind on my buying. A big thanks to everyone who answered my questions about Mahwah. Rabid RS-concertgoer though I am, and faithful though I try to be, it sounds like Mahwah might be a little too much work for me, especially since I'll probably still be tired from the two RS shows at the Bottom Line the night before. Heh heh. RonG said: Guys, the site looks great! Congrats! :-) Joy's pics of the Bottom Line show are looking good. :-) Thanks for taking them (can't believe I didn't take a camera along!) Tay Mueller said: <> Welcome, Tay! Hope you have as much fun on the list as I do! Hey, Tay, something about your e-mail was unclear to me--is Richard featured on "A Lost World?" Favorite cover? I think the best solo show I ever saw Richard do was at the Tin Angel last October. God, he was so *on* that night, it was actually pretty scary. I spent the whole evening jabbing my dad in the ribs and whispering, "Did you *hear* that?" The first encore was an unearthly rendering of "Cold Missouri Waters." I'm with Norman when he says that Richard "channels" Dodge in that song. It was like time stopped for five minutes, the audience was a picture of rapt attention, just a sea of wide open eyes and Richard in this tiny room, singing his heart out. Beautiful. Of course, all that didn't help me to be any *less* nervous when I asked him to autograph my t-shirt but that's a whole other story of melancholy that I won't go into, right now. Katrin suggested (and Pete seconded), in regards to an Ellis Paul starter album: <> Well, Translucent Soul is my first taste of Ellis Paul, and it's doing the job on me! So I'd second Katrin and say go for that one. :-) And finally. . . Not too long until Falcon Ridge! So excited, so excited. :-) OK, enough of me. Congratulations to you brave souls who made it this far. Adios! Peace, Love, and Mischief, Vanessa np: Well, this e-mail was written at the crossroads of SP and SNP. ------------------------------ End of shindell-list-digest V2 #138 ***********************************
