Happy Anniversary to Angels & Vagabonds Anyways... EP

RtBE not only writes about music, but I also create some. Angels & Vagabonds (mostly) acoustic EP titled Anyways... celebrated an anniversary recently.

It is exciting to go from critic/reviewer of music, to creator of tunes. Special thanks goes out to friends and bandmates who helped with this one. While it has been quite a few years since a release from the group, more music is actually on the way...

Dylan Cover #732 Bonker Brothers "When The Ship Comes In" Live

In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune is a live cover by the Bonker Brothers playing "When The Ship Comes In" 

Thoughts on Original: From the first time we tackled a cover of this tune:

One of our favorite songs from the early days of Dylan. The purest Irish Folk we felt he ever got, Joan Baez was a fan of this one and told a cool story during No Direction Home, about him being pissed at a hotel attendant and then having this song just spiral out of him. Images of the sea, the salt, the song, raiding/pillaging; a pirate song at heart. When we are looking for pure folk Dylan this one usually finds it's way to our ears.

Cover:

Thoughts on Cover Artist:

This is RtBE's first time hearing the Bonker Brothers and there is not much online about them. 

Thoughts on Cover:

A cover played with the quickness and as we have highlighted before, it has a Gaelic vibe that really works well with this song. A great pub tune played by this mysterious bunch of players.

Tedeschi Trucks Band

Future Soul

** out of *****

Following up on their stretched out, expansive four album collection I Am The Moon, Tedeschi Trucks Band has scaled back ambitions releasing eleven shorter tracks via their new album Future Soul. While professional and pleasant the group never lives up to the album title promise.
