Too me, “Trace” will always be closest to my heart
1 | Mark H July 10th, 2009 at 3:41 pmI can’t attend the show, but Jay’s best disc thus far is “Sebastopol”.
2 | Freeformradio July 10th, 2009 at 3:41 pmTrace is great but my personal favorite is Okemah and the Melody of Riot.
3 | Matty D July 10th, 2009 at 4:10 pmI’m more of a Junkies fan, I remember the first time I heard Trinity sessions ( The original – not the remake) I was working at a now defunct chain of record stores ( believe in us …) and was just floored. Anyway, please put me in the hat for tix.

5 | Pedant July 10th, 2009 at 4:51 pmId have to second Okemah and the Melody of Riot…

10 | shawn July 10th, 2009 at 9:54 pmWhat a great show!
For me, it’d have to be the first Uncle Tupelo album, “No Depression.” I was working at a record store when we got in Michelle Shocked’s “Arkansas Traveller” cd. Fantastic. She does a tune with Uncle Tupelo which is just great. Then I read some article about UT. So I ordered the first two records and was just blown away. I tried to turn on my boss to ‘em, but the only tune he really dug was “No Depression” (he was an old Carter Family fanatic and loved what UT did with the song.) So that was the one I got to play to death in the store.
Then later that year they came out with their third record and it just knocked me out also. But you have to put me down for “No Depression.”

12 | Cody July 11th, 2009 at 12:58 pmterrior blues – tears me apart
13 | Paul Hackner July 11th, 2009 at 3:45 pmWould love to see this show. Favorite JR-related LP is “Still Feel Gone” Anything with “Still Be Around” on it is an automatic ticket to heaven.
14 | Matthew M. July 11th, 2009 at 7:38 pmlove your show. trace was it for me as well.
15 | jax July 13th, 2009 at 12:28 pmI got into them after seeing them open for the Drive-by Truckers a couple years back, I think my favorite is Okeemah and the Melody of Riot.
16 | Edward Kimball July 13th, 2009 at 1:34 pmI love trace, I really do but I do love The Search a bit more. I think it is the horns on the album that really sell me, it gave this very warm, almost 1950′s sound to the whole thing, but with a thick guitar sound.
