from Rehearsal with Rosie 3.10.2020, released March 10, 2020
Underneath the Bottle: This one is from Lou Reed's Blue Mask lp which other than New York is probably his best record of the 80s. New Sensations? I especially love the song My House where he sings "I really got a lucky life // my writing, my motorcycle and my wife." Interesting order there, Lou! John Train's arrangement of this number is lifted directly from Go To Blazes' And Other Crimes album. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJk60BaBP5c When I moved from Austin to Philly in the 90s, I was astounded that there was a band here that was the equal of if not superior to anyone I heard in Texas. GTB were so far ahead of the alt-country, No Depression or whatever you want to call it curve that catapulted bands like the Drive By Truckers, Son Volt, Wilco etc to national acclaim. And for my money, GTB was better. I am especially fond of And Other Criimes where they covered songs by Gene Clark, Kinky Friedman, Lee Hazelwood, Lightfoot and other lost but great tracks like Underneath the Bottle. GTB were definitely a big influence on me in terms of John Train's approach. So let's send this track out to Ted, Tom, Ted, and Keith ... and Bruce Langfeld too. RIP. - JH
