Tell him hello for me!
Have you checked out Rodriguez yet? Just found out about him two days ago...
It was "I Wonder" that grabbed me immediately... I walked into the shop and headed for the used CD bin, kind of in a hurry as it was late and even though this was Atlanta, the little mom and pop used record and book shops mostly close by 7 or 8pm... I was looking to find a good used copy of the remastered Basement Tapes for me and a friend, scan the Lou Reed and Kinks bins for bargains on the out of print but out of demand CDs, thus low priced...
"I Wonder" was playing, and I was grabbed... I continued flipping through dics but couldn't really think about anything but, who is that?
A really young guy who nailed period piece folk folk almost perfectly but with a modern edge and freshness that made it ring so true?
A really old guy who had somehow escaped my fairly obsessed younger ears?
Turns out I don't know my folk rock quite as well as I'd like to imagine.
