But why is my mom standing in the picture with Dolly and Linda?

Your mom is Emmylou Harris?

 

[jamieanderson1968]

Your mom is Emmylou Harris?

Sure looks a hell of a lot like her on the cover. Emmylou is wearing her best high school guidance counsellor outfit.

Agreed.

Yeah it it looks like the cover photo was taken while she was in an awkward period with her hair. The 80s were a rough time for many.

 

[Nee Lewman]

I always thought they were trying to make them look like paper folks on the cover. Is it even a photo? Maybe it’s roto-scoped. To Wikipedia I go…

Well this is fucking awesome and not quite what I was expecting.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Easily the most pleasant first listen of the project so far. Right up my alley. Like some awesome alternative universe where Kamari Washington worked with Miles Davis. It’s like post bop spiritual jazz with a hint of African jazz. I dug it. I especially like the batshit panning of just the drums through out. Incredible listening experience.

 

[jamieanderson1968]

Damn this is good. I have heard a few of his albums but not familiar at all with this one. Very good. I will definitely track down a vinyl copy.

5/5

This sorely needs a repress but there are some affordable copies on the cogs. I’m a keep my eye out.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Yeah, I’m giving this a five, too

Daydream Nation is the best SY album, but Goo is my favorite SY album.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Daydream Nation is the best SY album, but Goo is my favorite SY album.

I have a real complicated relationship with Goo. I think Jet Set is my favorite.

My first SY album I ever purchased was Washing Machine in 8th grade. I didn’t buy another one until college.
