Re: Jim Lauderdale Tape Offer
Just a comment on Lauderdale and most probably an unpopular one - I really do like him but I have to complain about the vocal mix on his last cd. Way too out front, pretty grating on the ears. He has a nice voice, but most of the cd sounds as though he had his lips stapled to the microphone so it was amusing to me that it was titled "Whisper".

At that time, I mentioned that I'd made a "best of" Jim Lauderdale tape for a friend, and that maybe what I needed to do was compile another one, and make it available to the list. At that time, Jerald Corder and I started corresponding off-list, and we decided that we cooperate on making a tape for distribution to anybody who was interested.

I've got all five of Jim Lauderdale's LP's, but Jerald is the repository for Jim Lauderdale material, whether performed by JL or by others. Jerald has put together three cool tapes of Jim Lauderdale material. The first is a "best-of" Jim Lauderdale, with tracks not only from his 5 studio albums, but songs from an unreleased album, prior to PLANET OF LOVE, and some singles from promotional records that Jerald's picked up. It's a nice collection, 90 minutes long, with a fair amount of it from out-of-print or hard to find records. The second and third tapes are from various artists, too many to list them all here but a mix of alt and standard country types, and of course several from Lauderdale-loving George Strait. These covers fill two 90 minute cassettes. So, here's the deal.

Bill, just to refresh my memory, you were recommending Planet of Love as the best Lauderdale album, right? --jr.

Well I turned on to JL with PRETTY CLOSE TO THE TRUTH, and there are more individual songs on it that belong with his best than PLANET OF LOVE, but POL's a twangier record FWIW. It's also out of print though, and tough to find, while PRETTY CLOSE can still be found here and there. I'd say it's PRETTY CLOSE...but it's pretty closer than Dave puts it. *Two furlongs*?! Shoot, isn't 6 or 7 furlongs a standard race length below a mile or a mile and an eighth? I say PRETTY CLOSE by a length, and POL made a nice stretch run to make it a race. g b.s.

lauderdale ?
Bill: Here's the individual songs and artists on the tapes that Jerald Cordermade up, in case you're interested. Jim does a song live that has a woman's name in the chorus. He's done this song every time I've seen him live. It's always the last song of his set. It's very emotional and he just belts it out. It's just breathtaking. Trust me. Anyone know the name of the song? Is it on this comp tape? I think someone told me that it's not on any of Jim's cds. Anyway, thanks Jerald and Bill for pulling this together. I can't wait to listen to it. marie

Paging someone to page Mr. Lauderdale
Hey, if anyone runs into Jim Lauderdale anywhere, tell him he ought to come back and play in Atlanta sometime soon. There are a few people who want to see him. (No, it's not just me.) That's all. Nothing to contribute... Dina
Re: getting Jim Lauderdale (was Re: soul)
I 'll jump in to say Sr. Silvers nails this situation--Lauderdale's records have somewhat varying sounds, but they're more miss than hit than picking up his strengths as a performer--and he's definitely got those. His live solos veer towards the dramatically soulful (in a Memphis sense!)--which takes the audience by surprise in about the same percentages as the "I don't et him" comments from the records! And whether he's with Lucinda Williams, Buddy Miller or Ralph Stanley (and I've seen him with all three in the past year) he does lend great harmong support. (Plus, he has really great friends.) If he comes around with someobody, playing solo and dually--which happens--maybe that's the way to take a chance. Barry

Jerald Corder wrote: So what's my point? He has written alot of great songs scattered on his cds and covered on others. I smell a compilation tape that might open some eyes. But then it might not. I did one for an unnamed P2er. Fell into the "might not" category, but it was fun to do. Hey Jerald, let's work one up and offer it to the list. I remember how David Cantwell looked when I asked him about how his Starkweathers comp tape offer went a few months later. g b.s.
Re: Jim Lauderdale and Ralph Stanley
Howdy, Hopelessly behind in reading P2 posts. Y'all got verbal in the last few days, didn't you? Who was it recently lamenting the relative quiet of the list, with the birth of the fluff channel? g Anyway, my original point here was to say that this little nugget of information from Elena caught my eye: A friend of mine is going down to Bristol, TN today to take pictures of Jim Lauderdale and Ralph Stanley, apparently they're down there recording a record together. Should be pretty cool. Which would explain Jim's surprise appearance on stage Saturday night with Ralph Stanley at the Tennessee Theater in Knoxville. They sang "I'll Lead You Home," from Whisper and another tune, I believe. Take care, Shane Rhyne Knoxville, TN [EMAIL PROTECTED] NP: Hillbilly Idol, Town and Country

Wish I were going with her. ELena P.S. It has been pointed out to me by some close friends that it is painfully obvious from my posts to this list that my spelling is ATROCIOUS. Sorry y'all, I'll work on it. (Gotta get spellcheck, and stop typing so fast).
Re: Jim Lauderdale and Ralph Stanley
A friend of mine is going down to Bristol, TN today to take pictures of Jim Lauderdale and Ralph Stanley, apparently they're down there recording a record together. Should be pretty cool. I saw Lauderdale the weekend before last at a Nammy showcase. (He was phenomenal, as usual.) He mentioned that he was recording an entire album with Stanley. He seemed pretty excited about it. And if the song he did with Stanley on *Whisper* is any indication, it should be a good one. Wish I were going with her. me too. me too. marie
