wanted to make mention that the everybodyfields are coming to the earl on friday, 3.14, but they are on an extensive tour as i type. check their myspace page for a list of dates – they play tomorrow evening in centralia, wa @ olympic club hotel. if you havent check out their latest, and my favorite of 07, nothing is okay, i cant recommend it enough. it is one of the most achingly gorgeous records i have heard in at least 10 years. vocally, i havent come across a pair like jill and sam since jay farrar and kelly willis’ take on townes’ “rex blues” – see video as evidence. the production is definitely not your standard folk/countryish fare. its actually very reminiscent of some of daniel lanois’ work which is to say its fuckin awesome. anywho, check em out.
