Song: Lift Me Up
Recorded at Lee's Palace, February 25, 2012.
Scud Mountain Boys - Lift Me UpFull review to follow. Given how many of the songs were about pathos and entropy, adding sixteen years or so into the mix didn't harm things at all. The musicians were clustered around a small table at centre stage, with a lamp and some emptying beer bottles. Take away the microphones, and it could have been a Neil Simon play about a bunch of guys who used to be in a band together meeting up after Ray's funeral and sitting 'round the kitchen table trying to remember some old songs and what it was they were fighting over when they broke up.

I LOVED that description. . Although I think a Joe Pernice play would be by somebody like Sam Shepard, not Neil Simon. Noticed you at the show and was wondering if you'd post any tracks. Thanks for doing so!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carl.
DeleteYou're probably right, though I think the image popped into my head from a memory of an amateur production of The Odd Couple. In the poker-playing scene, the set was basically one beat-up table and it looked about the same as above, sans guitars.
In the intermediate future (somewhere between soon and sixteen years from now) when I get through the whole thing, I'll find one of the quieter songs to go as a companion to this one.
