Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 3 - September 2019 /// Nicole Atkins - Goodnight, Rhonda Lee

[Teeeee]

Spinning the Caleb Elliot right now. @Teeeee , if you haven’t already, be sure to check it out.

I've checked out a ton of what Reed suggested. I really liked: St. Paul (but I think we all knew we liked them, just needed a nudge to listen further), Belle Adair (that first song - Get Away - has an amazing 'drop' in it - it made me say "HOLY WOW" out loud), Erin Rae (duh), Caleb Elliott, Donnie Fritts (he has a Randy Newman/Levon Helm vibe. More minimalistic though), The Prescriptions. I also really liked 2 bands that Reed didn't mention: Steelism and The Bear. The Bear is a power pop-esque band.

That St Paul & The Broken Bones LP is my favorite of theirs. There was a time a few years ago when I played that and the first Alabama Shakes LP constantly. They sounded like nothing else at the time. Like these long lost Muscle Shoals recordings.

I can’t suggest Caleb’s album enough. It’s been on permanent rotation since it’s release. It haunts my dreams.

I figured someone would be. Caleb's actually been out on tour playing cello for Nicole, so I'm certain that she will chime in at some point

 

[NATKINS]

This IS a great offer for sure but ALWAYS buy the record at the show. That money goes directly into our gas tank or hotel for the night. I can’t stress enough how important that is. Having 5 people on the road is expensive and those merch booth sales are the only way we survive.

This is amazing, thank you! I love supporting labels like yours and will definitely be picking something up. I just wish I had purchased the Nicole Atkins direct instead of picking it up at her show haha.

I must say that I am very impressed. I ordered these records last week, got free shipping and received them this morning. That's what I call a five star service! Thanks @Reed !

 

[Nee Lewman]

I just got a newsletter and ordered some CD. I don’t even know what it is, so welcome to Colemine territory there @Reed

Hey all, thought some of you might be interested in this. One of my favourite folk singers, Joe Pug, hosts a monthly podcast called the Working Songwriter, where he discusses writing, recording, touring, etc., with a different guest. There are usually some pretty cool stories told and since the host is also an artist it gives a bit of a different perspective than most music interviews. I haven't listened yet, but the newest episode is with Nicole!

1. I love that we are on a first name basis with her now.
2. I will definitely be checking this out. She's so fun, so it is sure to be entertaining!

I just finished. Yep, it is awesome. She's entertaining and down to earth. And that was a delightful listen. Thank you for letting us know about it!!

 

[Teeeee]

Um. Also, this is mentioned in the podcast. And now that I looked it up, I do remember it!

I just listened to Brokedown Luck for the first time and I got down so hard I think I pulled something in my soul.

I know Hairspray well enough to know there is not a Hoe Down going on in this scene but I’ll be damned if that kid in the back isn’t dancing perfectly to the Ricky Skaggs/Bruce Hornsby album I am listening to and it’s weird.

 

[Teeeee]

@Lee Newman and @Joe Mac and @Corycm and @anyone else that likes Caleb Elliott, Nicole posted them playing one of his songs on her ig live. Probably will be gone in the next few hours.

Pretty cool podcast. Just listened to the Nicole Atkins episode and added Strand of Oaks, Craig Finn and Ian Mackaye to my feed.

He and Strand of Oaks go way back so that's an especially cool episode. I actually first heard of Strand from a Pug live album where he played a song at the end of the set.
