Johnny Young, Mudcrutch, and Me
Just a quickie: I unexpectedly wrote a review of Johnny Young’s The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions last night. I ordered it from Amazon and planned to write something short about it for here but once I got started I couldn’t stop, so the review is over at BC Magazine.
I’ll be contributing to “Iguana” Glen Boyd’s weekly New Release column for BC Magazine and Watermelon Slim’s new record will be one of the featured new releases for this week (as soon as I finish my writeup).
I’m listening to the great Mudcrutch record this morning. I was talking to my brother about it last night and it seems to fit my frame of mind this morning. I tried listening to the new Coldplay record (which I like) but I couldn’t make it all the way through. Mudcrutch seems to be a bit more my speed. Maybe it’s the more earthy, humble tones that are working for me in a way Coldplay’s bombastic ambience isn’t.
