 New Chronicles - Nice Blog: BB Goode!

John Prine et al!


Just a wanderin' around looking for John Prine and found some really nice sets and some Steve Goodman stuff and dropped by, or rather stumbled upon, the BB Chronicles
here BB Chronicles

BB Hisself

Lots of lovely stuff and fine quality too. BB uses 'Hotfile.com' to share files and this seems to work fine. I downloaded the 'Early Steve Goodman' [with incidentally a fine fine version of 'City of New Orleans' a classic track and all time country favourite] in rapid time and really peerless quality. The range of stuff is pretty understandable and very much one person's sense of taste and nothing wrong in that.
 UPDATE - for those how the Goodman may be a tad to rarefied the John Prine downloaded today is EXCEPTIONAL! I tried the two sets (sic?!) one from 2005 in Ireland which is just breathtakingly good from his gig at the Irish Music Centre, Ennis, County Clare, Ireland
11 Nov 2005 An FM Broadcast, in exceptional quality
here in mp3 @ 192bps

and the two part Asheville NC gigs from 1986 with an added bonus of ten tracks from   Rockefeller's in Houston in 1984 all of which collectors must have and in wonderful crisp clarity and quailty
Thanks a whole heap o' stuff BB!
Go give him a visit!

Steve goodman link is terrific. Long story which may surface on my blog at some point regarding city of New Orleans . Thanks for the inside track on the ultimate picture palace. I admit it... I was in Oxford! Collecting son from Brooke's uni..he hadn't packed so I wandered around for a bit! Would be good to say hi over a beer tho....
