The Smashing Tunes Thread (Part 1)

I put the full version on Youtube ages ago but for some reason it wouldn’t come up if you searched for it. No idea why. Anyway, it’s an astounding track, possibly the most beautiful middle-8 of any Irish track ever.
Big fan of Perry Blake too, I have to say.

Lads, heard a cracking tune by Jeff Buckley on the Battle Axe last night. I’ve heard of folks raving on about him but what would be a good introduction to him?

The Grace album Locke. That’s the only one he really has.

Thanks Farmer.

Grace definitely, though it is vastly overrated. He’s released about 157 albums since he died, none of which are any good.

Has anyone heard the new Wilco album yet? I’m listening to Yakee Foxtrot Hotel at the moment and I like.

Wilco are media darlings. Therefore I’m skeptical about them. Typical Farmer really - liked them when they started out but as they grew in popularity my interest diminished.

Yankee is a good album though.
