Railroad Earth - Railroad Jerry, compilation by navajo

bt.etree.org here

This is a collection of songs performed by Railroad Earth that were also done by Jerry in one form or another; Old and in the Way, JGB, and Grateful Dead. I put together this compilation in an effort to help expand a friend’s musical horizons.

The songs were culled from a variety of source tapes primarily downloaded from the Live Music Archive
(http://www.archive.org/audio/etreelisting-browse.php?collection=etree&cat=Railroad%20Earth). Where more than one version of a particular song was available I listened to a few to pick the one with the best combination of recording and performance. This was entirely subjective and not an exhaustive exercise. Your mileage may vary. I tried to avoid the more obvious selections like 4/16/05 when Phil sat in with the RRE boys, although I did use one song from that show, GDTRFB, as it was the only version I knew of (besides Phil didn’t sing).

I tried to balance recording levels, make cuts and fades so that the compilation works reasonably well in the order the tracks are listed. Obviously other combinations would work equally as well, or not.

enjoy!

The Dirtbombs - We Have You Surrounded

I saw them this year opening for TV on the Radio and they were really good, I've been meaning to get some of their records, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Richard & Linda Thompson - Shoot Out the Lights

Just got about 50 old LP's including a lot like this one, which is an album I always wanted, but never bought. Richard Thompson is such a great guitarist, just in a genre I didn't buy a lot of when I was younger. I'd also recommend another Richard Thompson project, the film "In the Edges - The Grizzly Man Sessions" which documents the recording of the music for the film "Grizzly Man", since most of it was improvised by musicians who hadn't worked together it is interesting to see them work out the songs.
