Your Thursday Moment of Words Fail Me
From that album I mentioned on Tuesday.
Roger and the still not dead Wilko...
...cover my single favorite Dylan record.
I can not fricking believe how great that is. Seriously.
Dylan has had plenty of female muses, but I don't think any of them has inspired as many great songs as Edie Sedgwick. A portrait in acid (the old-fashioned kind) of Andy Warhol.
Daltrey hasn't sounded this good in ages. Definitely better than on the last Who album (which I liked, btw).
I really liked this Gonna check out the other Daltrey/Wilko collab and probably buy the album, if the comments from others are any indication of its quality. Thanks for posting these.
Waalll, for once I have no snark or argument.
ReplyDeleteBest 35-minute album I've bought since the Ramones broke up.
Warren Zevon, George Harrison, now Wilko Johnson -- dying musicians who gave the world a last great work as their way of saying farewell.
The kind of class the rest of us can only dream of and admire.
That's how I want to go out. I should be so lucky.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bookend to Pete and Ronnie's "Rough Mix".
