The Official Needles and Grooves 1001 Album Generator Project (aka Preachin’ about the Preachers if today’s selection sucks)

Well this will be interesting for me. Kind of wish it was a Friday release. I got the Purple Elephant album that VMP had an exclusive of and have a couple of other ones since then but I never went back. I know he has evolved over time so it will be an interesting listen.

Love Devendra, surprised that they chose this album (I woulda guessed Cripple Crow).

I will say this. I made a mix of oldies from the 60s and included Mungo Jerry’s “In the Summertime” and I was listening to as I ran around doing some errands and all the sudden while that song played, I came to the realization that Devendra whole sound is deeply indebted to Mungo Jerry. It’s odd but you could drop “In The Summertime” in between “At The Hop” and “This Is The Way” and it would not feel out of place at all.

I don’t need other stuff to listen to TLK.

I’m the opposite. I was really into his early Freak Folk stuff and as his sound became more mainstream, I began to lose interest he lost me completely post- Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon. I did give his 2021 Windom Hill homage new age album Refuge a go and like that well enough but it’s a completely different vibe.

I'm looking forward to digging into this one. The only thing I really know of Devendra Banhart was sitting in my college dorm in 2005 around midnight and this beauty came on MTV2.



Looks like it's from the same year as this album but not the same album.

I love when we get get albums like this. I don't know anything about the artist. I have no idea what they're saying or what the songs are about. Just some nice sounds coming from my speakers on a Friday morning.
