Re: Cowgirl's Prayer & Wrecking Ball

I'm really sorry about your dad, Vic. Iskrena sućut.

I'm not a Harris' fan. I'm just find her music very good to excellent.

OT: Regarding the future, in any case, rich will get richer, poor poorer; luckily, I'm just a little bit on the richer side of the divide.

Re: Cowgirl's Prayer & Wrecking Ball

Yes, I have noticed that emotions run high regarding Ms. Harris... she casts a long shadow :) But it's interesting how Mr Christgau tosses away the CP. Yes, it's "just rock" for us , but for someone else it's their profession, something that brings money to table, and they are doing it bes...

Re: Cowgirl's Prayer & Wrecking Ball

My whereabouts are displayed next to my posts :) I think we have moved away from the album discussion. What do you think about (Robert Christgau): Cowgirl's Prayer [Asylum, 1993] "Jerusalem Tomorrow" Choice Cuts Wrecking Ball [Elektra, 1995] The reason Harris's instant comeback is an irrit...

Re: Cowgirl's Prayer & Wrecking Ball

Well I was in England only once and noticed strange electricity plugs and a lot of Pakistani restaurants :) Regarding the cultural issue, I was refrerring to the following problems: I don't recognize for instance quote of KJ Bible instantly as most English/Americans will. I don't know nursery rhymes...

Re: Cowgirl's Prayer & Wrecking Ball

I second that emotion Ken but you have to let the younger listeners have their personal views about the music they choose to listen to. I don't know about you but I certainly attached huge and usually incorrect, meanings to the music I listened to in the late sixties, early seventies. Having said t...

Re: Cowgirl's Prayer & Wrecking Ball

Daniel, it's really great to find some real discussion taking place on this forum and I hope more of the newbies follow your example. However, I totally disagree with your thoughts on both CP and WB. In my opinion and some will know how eclectic my own music tastes can be, you are reading far too m...

Re: Cowgirl's Prayer & Wrecking Ball

I noticed that Cowgirl's Prayer (CP) sounds much more diverse than Wrecking Ball (WB), at least to me. I mean I listened to "alternative music" a lot, distorted guitars and strange sounds are/were not really new to me. For example, tempo of CP is changing all the time: 1 slow song 2 slow s...

Cowgirl's Prayer & Wrecking Ball

Hi all, Sorry for opening yet another thread, but there's no appropriate one :) I would like to hear (read) opinions from long-time fans about those two albums, how they compare against Ms. Harris' work before them, and after them. And how they compare to the latest one, Hard Bargain. Are they "...

Re: The Ballad of Sally Rose [a newbie]

What is immediately striking about the Sally Rose is that there's a "regularity" under it. On the vinyl -- at least what I have found on the Internet -- there are actually 12 songs, 6 on each side. http://pixhost.info/avaxhome/aa/97/001a97aa_medium.jpeg Now, the first song on each side is ...

Re: The Ballad of Sally Rose [a newbie]

Hi all, Well, something is available on the Internet -- Google Books has (have?) scans of Billboard from that era -- complete with Ms. Harris receiving a kind of recommendation from Washington DC (or some official from the city) during the Sally Rose tour. Here are some articles I have found: ⋅...
