Title: Jim O'Rourke: Simple Songs
Post by: Pekka on May 13, 2016, 05:07:54 AM

Did anyone else pick up this fantastic album released last year? Great songs, witty lyrics and a warm production. There's a slight Genesis/Collins -vibe on the drum department and I bet it's not a coincidence since Jim is a huge "Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" fan.

Apparently Jim and his Japanese band did some gigs too:

The bass player uses this bass on stage but could it be on the album too? Slothead EB3L isn't it?

Albit B-200. Vintage japanese transistor amp perhaps?

Definitely a slothead EB-3L.

I listened for a couple of minutes, not my kind of music.

I like the first one but not so much the others.
Think I'll pick this up
