I think the blues tune you might be thinking of is "Sitting on Top of the World", which he did on South of Delia. I think it has many authors...wait a second, let's google-ize it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitting_on_Top_of_the_World The Robert Johnson composition that I most often hear covered is "Come on in My Kitchen"...i've been on record for some time now about children of privilege trying to take on the skin of black southerners...I appreciate the fact that Richard has brought "Love in Vain" into my world -- I may have heard it before, but after listening to him wax poetic about it, I dug in a little deeper and found the lyrics and music (Johnson's) richly compelling. I think the focal word here is gravitas. I feel it in Richard's new song "Careless"...but his vocals are way too anglo for the requisite moan of a blues song...however, Marc Shulman's guitar IS evocative of that Mississippi mourn, so, again, thanks Ricardo -- I'm digging the full band thing, but it may be time to COLLABORATE with another far out band like Olabelle or just remake yourself in the image of a master songsmith gone ELECTRIC and balls out! Sorry, school marms, it's two thousand-fucking-thirteen and that's how i feel... and for you "I only like real folk" folkies: that's folked up.

Itbs a MEDLY! Itbs again basically audio, so listen while doing something on the computer. there is some video at the beginning and the end. The audio starts out with Deer On the Parkway in progress,, then Northbound 35, and Love in Vain. I think I got most of the concert overall. I do have about 47 seconds of Are You Happy Now.

It's really not that serious! I'm amazed this is even an issue and am frustrated and saddened by the fact that this "debate" is probably discouraging people from writing show reports who otherwise would. This is really a conversation that only needs to happen between a reader and his/her own delete key. Can't see the reason to go peeing in other people's cornflakes. Jeez Louise! Norman tossed the balance of a review of the Iron Horse gig to Bernadette and me, so I explained why I wouldn't chime in. I didn't say that people shouldn't post reviews; I said I don't read them. Someone said he didn't understand why someone wouldn't want to read them, so I told him why I don't. NOWHERE did I say I didn't want people to post reviews. You're boxing with your own shadows. I'm pretty sure my first Shindell concert was upstairs at the Bull Run in Shirley, Mass. Like Jean, I am a fan of traditional folk, not singer-songwriter music. Richard and Dave Carter are the exceptions: Both use melody beautifully, both are masters of wordcraft, and both are compassionate in the stories they tell.

RS told me he really enjoyed their songs and how they play off each other on stage. These days Jim runs a wonderful folk venue in NE Portland called Mississippi Studios and Jeff has been singing with Furthur for at least four years. Well, what do you know? Small world. I now live in Portland and have walked by Mississippi Studios many times, but have never seen a show there. Fun to learn about the Richard connection.

It looked like a old wooden milk crate with budderb looking things inside the crates, like 30 of them, loose. Like thin paint rollers. During the song, he would hold it up like a trash can lid and bring it down on a board for a song effect, as it had a really neat sound to it.

It is great to hear some of this music from long ago, being revived, as Loudon Wainwright made a whole 2 CD set of Charlie Poole music, Joel Rafael has done 2 CDs of Woody Guthrie songs, as Wilco did 2 CDs too, and the Carolina Chocolate Drops is doing wonderful work with African American String Band music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BkPm8JIJJQ Robert Johnson Love In Vain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYN6KbmIAOM Loudon talking about the Charlie Poole project, as it is a wonderful 2 cd set. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhaKOybz9EU Joel Rafael, as I am a big fan of Joel, as Radoslav Lorkovic is in the video, Accordion, and I believe he has worked with Shindell in the past. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHCEMHlufrA Carolina Chocolate Drops doing a Charlie Poole song.

But I have enjoyed reading the digests and seeing the process of elimination, reading all the various comments and agonizing over choices. Of course my reading was lengthened to ridiculous length by having to listen to many of the tracks to confirm my agreement (or otherwise) with the choices and comments. It's actually been great and given me a whole new perspective on a few less frequently played songs or songs where I've not picked up on a nuance or two. Choice here are no easier at this stage than earlier on but I'm reconciled with them- except perhaps #8. I do love Sparrows Point and indeed it was that album, borrowed from a Long Island record library that got me hooked on RS. But, sorry, You Stay Here grabs me just that little bit more. My picks: 1. May 2. Reunion Hill 3. Last Fare of the Day 4. Wisteria 5. Fishing 6. Transit 7. Che Guevara T-Shirt 8.

To: shindell-list@smoe.org Date: Monday, February 25, 2013, 12:57 AM I must say, for me, the best thing about the song-a-thon (besides the fact that it's been so great hearing from so many of you again) is that it's given me a reason to drag out my guitar -- which I haven't played in a year or so -- and start playing again. And there's nothing better than playing Shindell songs. And with new Shindell songs out there, it'll also give me a reason to start transcribing again. Win/win. RG ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:24:18 -0500 From: Aelcee Subject: Re: [RS] Your first Richard Shindell concert My first live Richard performance was actually a Cry Cry Cry performance and, ironically, the song that made an instant fan of me wasn't even a Shindell original. 1999 Falcon Ridge. I was a recent college grad and there primarily as a huge Moxy Fruvous fan; at that point, I was just beginning to dip my toe into the traditional folk/singer-songwriter/acoustic scenes. I distinctly remember settling in with my friends at the workshop stage to hear "Dar and some other people." I enjoyed the entire set and was already thinking something like "hey, those other people are pretty good," but I wasn't smitten. And then. Then they played Cold Missouri Waters, and that was it. I was so completely transported that I began to cry during the final verse (to the great astonishment of all of my friends--that's not really my style). I'd never had such a visceral response to a performance before that, particularly not during a festival where I wasn't exactly paying rapt attention. And it was immediately clear to me that there was something special about this man's ability to inhabit a character, to breathe so much life into a song that I was *living* it rather than just hearing it. And that's how you create a monster. From that point on, I pretty much saw any Richard show taking place within 300 miles of wherever I was living at the time.
