The only experience I have with the band, really, was a live show at the 40 Watt in Athens — Summer 1991. Oddly, perhaps, my most vivid memory was that I thought they played the best cover of “Paint It Black” I’d ever heard. Anyway, I should give these a listen and thank you for the taste.

Great records, great band. Can’t wait to add The Good Earth to my collection again. The old cassette must be in a box somewhere…

i’ll second the earlier comment that “good earth” is one of the best road-trip albums. i remember listening to it over and over while driving back and forth between atlanta and athens in the ’80s.

Saw them in Philly back in March and they sounded brilliant. Played a solid set with three encores, chuck full of covers. Can’t wait to see them later today!

I’ll second the WOW of the previous post. Never ever heard of these guys before, not I must part with some cash.

Bought “the Good Earth” on Vinyl in 1987. And again on CD in the the 90′s. Still stands up as one of my all time favorites. A friend and I have said this for years:There is probably not a better road-trip driving album than the Good Earth. The album is a perfect soundtrack for the open road.

Nice post. Saw the Feelies open up for Lou Reed at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis back in ’89 (’90?) as part of Lou’s tour supporting his release of “New York.” Great evening…

I believe I still have my original LP of “The Good Earth” from my record store days in Iowa City in the mid-80s.

I’ll be a the Brooklyn show on Sunday. They are promising two sets. I hope one of those will be “Crazy Rhythms.”
