Comment:
A second offering from doowad and me (Strange Loop).Theoretically, we were alternating between songs about relationships gone bad and natural disasters, but it got a little random after a point. The number of songs just kept rising like the floodwaters many of them mention and we got into some cool little grooves until finally cresting at a double CD, 156 minutes or so.The mix itself flows like the Mighty Mississip' from country blues to bluegrass to jazz and back `round again, with a few unexpected turns along the way. And as these things tend to do, it was wrapped up like a failed marriage with the low moaning of Tom Waits.Feedback:
Wow! Love the title and the artwork is breathtaking. Song selection is topnotch as expected although I am surprised that Ry Cooder's Alimony didn't make the cut. Thematically brilliant. Really reinforces the notion there is no disaster more natural than men and women trying to live together.
OUT F'ING STANDING!
This is absolutely fantastic! I don't see a single stinker in the bunch, and that's saying a lot. But damn, that is the LARGEST picture on AotM ever. I'm sure of it.
exhaustingly great - i dunno how these double-discs can maintain such a high overall quality, it's quite amazing
Yeah, this is pretty amazing. Consistently great from top to bottom. Color me impressed.
This was a pleasure to be a part of, Eliot, and I knew the artwork had to be doowad big...
Brother Tom said it all.
I get exhausted just reading the track list. What an undertaking this was!For those curious about the Mickey Rooney photo, before the final order was decided, I was given the challenge of linking the Mickey Rooney track to Charley Patton. Here's how that works:The link had to be a blues track and it had to be about disaster. Mickey Rooney voiced a character in Pete's Dragon along with Red Buttons. Mr. Buttons starred in "The Longest Day" about D-Day of course.The obvoius choice was the Honeyboy Edwards track "Build Myself A Cave" about hiding from the draft and the "Japs" as he says.To top it off, I found the picture of Mickey Rooney in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" to really bring it all together.And that's how you handle a curveball like a Mickey Rooney song! : )
Yeah, what mahdishain said, especially the last line! I so agree!
Oh wow. This looks hot.
Oh, and P.S. I'm extremely glad to see William Elliott Whitmore on a mix in this community!
Ohhh, nice!
seriously loving this.
seriously loving this.
Nicely done. Always cool to see the likes of Doug Sahm and Mose Allison on a mix.
An inundation of downhome goodness!
Not the most attractive mix title, but what a line up! Disc one in particular is what I like..
This kicks all kinds of serious ass, guys. Amazing...
I've been following the thread of this collaboration for the last two days driving around town. I'm about to hit replay tomorrow. Great stuff!
Outstanding! Most people would simply give up after being thrown a "Micky Rooney"!!!
