This Week In The Hudson Compound

What did Scott listen to this week?

Well, honestly, a lot of the same records as last week. That Twisted Teens album continues to rock my world, and I spent a lot of time with the recent reissues of The Beatles, The Who, Tom Petty Roxy Music, and others. Most of all, I'm still devouring Bob Dylan's 1976 Rolling Thunder Tour box. Unfortunately, the tracks are tagged in such a way that each individual show is a separate "album", so their overall impact on my Last.FM totals is reduced (and the reason there's so many missing covers).

As for brand new stuff, I'm loving the majority of the Shane MacGowan tribute set. I say majority as there are a few tracks that are done a bit too...well, nice(?). I prefer the rowdier versions of the covers. Speaking of remakes, that His Lordship set of Chuck Berry songs is killer! His Lordship is Chrissie Hynde collaborator James Walbourne, and these covers are not the usual note for note tributes to Ol' Chuck. 

A few other recent releases that rocked my week include the latest by Patt Todd & The Rank Outsiders, Brijitte West & the Greenowskis, Distant Hits, and Joy Cleaner. The Sharp Pins record is yet another (mostly) covers album as Kai Slater takes on a bunch of obscure mod revivial tracks.
