Though it’s only a couple of years since this boy I’d never met accidentally found this spare copy of this album that he felt I really ought to have listened to, it’s actually 25 years since the release of the Replacements’ incredible Let It Be. While I would hope that the boy, who by this stage I can’t get rid of, will have a proper tribute to one of his favourite albums up at some point, my other favourite Minneapolis band High On Stress dropped me a line to let me know about this incredible tribute show – also celebrating the paperback release of Jim Walsh’s “All Over But The Shouting” – taking place at the city’s First Avenue on Friday night. Don’t let geography fool you – I would be all over this if I could.
Here’s a video Nick sent me of the band performing “Eyeliner Blues”, from their first album, with Slim Dunlap:
I can’t remember if I posted this before, but WORDS ACTUALLY FAIL ME.
Get down to this one if you can. You’ll have bragging rights over me for a long time.
