Here’s the last alt country “On This Day” for a bit. If you haven’t heard The Bottle Rockets, you need to check them out. Brian’s vocals are an acquired taste, but perfect for the band’s rural mid-western vibe. This is such a great set- recorded shortly after the release of their album “The Brooklyn Side”, it has all of my favorite songs.
If you are a fan of good songwriting and excellent clever lyrics, this is a good place to be. Unfortunately, they hung it up a few years back. I wish I could see them play again.
The tape sounds great except for some distortion early on as the person recording the set deals with recording levels.
How odd is this venue, by the way? They played a Best Buy. With the radio DJ introducing the band before they start, it makes me wonder if this was a radio broadcast… but it doesn’t have that overly compressed FM sound. Fun Fact: that Best Buy closed in 2012.
