Back from a holiday weekend in Dublin with an important, irreplaceable friend of my lifetime. The Westmoreland album I Got The Feeling In Bakersfield is spinning. It answers my needs. Another fishie on a little dishie from a blogs best friend Darren Jones.
The album deals with the passing of his father and Westmoreland alter ego Zach Alva. Also reflections on grief, loss and being a Latino artist creating in what aree predominantly whute musicaal spaces.This is a folk rock record esswsntially if you need a label. Hey we need somehwere to hang your ideas on..
Nothing changes. This is a record which could easily have come out un the early Sixties. The early Eightues or the eatly Noughties. Or I ssspect the 1460s. Nothing changes, everything changes. Dogwood is in the front yard. You are waking from a good dream and the pool tables are free.
It's nice, isn't it? Got a 60s/70s troubadour vibe. Hope you had the best time in Dublin. Coincidentally, I've got something relevant for you from last week. Pomes Penyeach. It's James Joyce poems put to music by Adrian Crowley, Matthew Nolan and others. I really like it. There's something experimental about the music that matches the words.
