Daytime Running Lights
The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed yet.
This record is has my uncle’s initials on it (“SPA”) as well as “Tom Anderson” which is what my dad called himself before he went to the army. In the pictures the band looks about as young as I imagine Dad and Uncle Steve being when they bought it.
Highlights include “Tom Dooley” and “Sloop John B”, one of my all time favorite songs. It’s fun to hear such a stripped-down version of a song I’m so familiar with from the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds. I can almost feel the song trying to burst out from its restrained package.
The Kingston Trio has a slicker sound than I’d expected, not filled with the “authentic” sounding folk mistakes I’m used to on acoustic albums from 10 years later (I’m thinking about Syd Barret and pals here), but even still they sound like three guys singing and playing guitars in a single take.
