Warming Up

I'm moving ever closer to being ready to post a review of Magnolia Electric Company's latest CD, entitled Josephine. In order to set the stage for that, so to speak, I thought I'd share a little classic MEC with anyone out there who might be following this blog.

Here's "What Comes After The Blues", from a 2007 concert. While Jason Molina's vocals aren't quite as strong as usual this time out (in my humble opinion), the instrumental work on this version is to die for. Check it out:



Following that up with a fantastic, extended play version of "Riding With the Ghost", from that same concert:



For something a little more recent, give a listen to "Lonesome Valley" which was finally released on the band's previous CD, Fading Trails:



(And yes, Jason Molina really does say, "Thank you kindly" after just about every song, in concert!)
