Good tune, itā€™s been on this thread recently enough.

Two unusual choices which came on while I was out for a short cycle yesterday

Iris Dement- our town

Luka Bloom- you couldnā€™t have come at a better time

Love Embrace. Never got the same exposure as some other far worse bands back in the day.

Hadnt heard this in donkeys years until yesterday, written about his sick kid, top notch. This crowd just disappeared after the album

Listened to this for the first time in years recently, Iā€™d forgotten just what a cracking song it is.

Iā€™ve been listening to bits of the first two albums recently, that song wasnā€™t a favourite of mine at the time but itā€™s a great tune
This ones a beauty as well

Now Iā€™m a Cowboy is the better of the two albums for me. Itā€™s a cracker.

The Mrs is a big fan of TF. Bringing her up to Dublin in December to see them. It was a birthday present for her.

Unbelievably, she wasnā€™t familiar with the music of Big Star until a year or so ago when I showed her that doc on Netflix.

Itā€™s bordering on plagiarism at times.
