23-jul-10 gilded palace
Country Clutter abounds on this week’s Gilded Palace: you wouldn’t want to clear any of it out though. We may not have Cash in the attic, but we have got Prine, Kristofferson and Haggard. We’re sure that newer models like Lucas, Muth, Dolorean and Chesnutt will only appreciate in value with time. Bring the (nine pound) hammer down! |

News:
A long-overdue (main-stream) tribute to the living legend, The Master, John Prine, is released this month. Entitled Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows: Songs of John Prine (Oh Boy Records), it features a who’s-who of modern roots-influenced artists including Bon Iver, Lambchop, My Morning Jacket, Josh Ritter, Drive-By Truckers and many more. I reckon they could have made a box-set if they’d allowed everyone who wanted to contribute a song to do so (everyone could have covered a different Prine song and still made a killer album). Consider this an essential purchase: the man is a god, his influence is everywhere and these artists do him proud.

dj profile |
 Scorcher Shane
Definition: “Scorcher” (after a deep love of the greatest cowpunk band in the history of everything, Jason and The Scorchers) – and “Shane” (after the classic Western, since that's what his dad would have christened him if he’d had his way). Raised on a diet of Dylan, Cash, Beatles and The ‘Oo; born too young for punk but just right for plaid (in the form of the alt.country movement).
Greatest moment of his life so far (apart from the birth of two gorgeous daughters, of course): meeting Victoria Williams.

David
Morrison
Slithered from a swamp at an advanced age, clutching a
banjo and a sack of tins. Entered the music industry shortly
after it's formation, and has done little (else) since.
He writes a lot about it, stages shows and sells shiny
discs in the day.
David is possessed of healthy cynicism and gallows humour;
vital traits both in the appreciation of country music.
Vintage reggae, punk rock and soul also have him aroused.
Life highlights include dinner with a grumpy
Kurt Wagner, spilling a drink on Ray
Davies and crying in the presence of Mike
Oldfield.
