3. So many albums from the mid 80's to mid 90's never far from the rotation

A lot of them are obvious ones, but I got an obscure one for ya. I wouldn't necessarily say if you like Living with the Law, you WILL like this album but I think there's very good odds. It takes a couple listens to really reveal its charms, but honestly, it is one of my favorite top-to-bottom records of all time. Like LWTL, it has this haunting and cohesive feel to it (and a fair bit of dobro guitar actually). Doubt I've ever gone 6 months since it came out in 1994 (iirc) without listening to the whole thing. I literally never get tired of this record. Every song is great.

Give it a shot. The rockers (like the first one below) need to be played loud, on a system with some bass. I give you three tracks from Mighty Joe Moon by Stockton, California's own Grant Lee Buffalo. First one is about Waco, mostly, but you kinda have to look up the lyrics to know that. Hope you like!

And yeah for Chris. Fuck cancer!!!





The singer Grant Lee Phillips continues to make great music to this day. This is from 8 years ago.



And this is a single from 2023 ... very much a 'Chris Whitley' sound.
