Dennis The Fox / Piledriver
From Pitchfork, a country comp I didn't know existed... :
Various Artists: Yee-Haw! The Other Side of Country [QDK Media; 2001]
QDK Media's back catalog is generously padded with exploitive kitsch like Porn to Rock and Russ Meyer soundtracks, so perhaps this compilation of late 1960s-early 1970s country-rock obscurities was assembled with irony in mind. But if you ignore the hokey Roy Rogers title and artwork, you'll find this to be a treasure trove of post-Gram Parsons cosmic cowboys, desolate stoner folk, and miscellaneous damaged Americana. Though such tracks as Mother Tucker's Yellow Duck's chaotic "Kill the Pig" or Spur of Moment's "Don't Ever Trust a Woman" (next line: "with your dope") are worthwhile primarily for their comedy value, others burn with the same majestic glow which lit The Gilded Palace of Sin or Skip Spence's Oar. Highlights? Try Bluebird's dusty "Going to Nevada", or the Wilson McKinley's irresistibly catchy "Last One Asleep". Best of them all is the extraordinary countrypolitan funk of Dennis the Fox's "Piledriver", on which Dennis uses his laconic Fat Elvis drawl to exalt "a mean mother-trucker of a girl" before the female back-up singers swoop in to hi-jack the payload. It's enough to make you question a world where Kenny Rogers gets to make five movies based on "The Gambler", while Dennis the Fox gets squat. Where, I ask you, is the justice? --Matthew Murphy

not to sound like an unappreciative lil dude........but can we get a better bitrate version. 105kbps makes drums sound like tin cans.
this is very proper though.
now comes the question......is shadow done as a producer? Should he just stick to dropping mixes?
keane rmx + radiohead rmx seems to tell me it's time.
ps: lucas is picking up where josh left off.....discuss?
