Uncle Jeff, Route 78 West

Top 20

1. Adam Franklin- Bolts of Melody (Hi-Speed Soul)
How could this one slip through the cracks of the general public? The great frontman of long-lamented Swervedriver returns with his most fully realized release to date. Rumors of a new tour are true, and this time around Swervedriver just might get it's due. In the mean-time, we get a psychedelic/country slab of brilliance, with Sid Barrett and Arthur Lee looking on from above.

2. Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter- Like Love Lust & the Open Hearts of the Soul (Barsuk)
Yes, she is beautiful. And she smells like Ivory Snow. But that's not the issue- this is a fully realised record illustrating everything that has come before, Folk-Rock wise... There is the dusky sadness and mythic achievement of Sandy Denny, and the swirling modal guitar-ness of Quicksilver Messenger Service, all tied up with a Whiskeytown bow. Good stuff.

3. Richmond Fontaine- Thirteen Cities (El Cortez)
One a year, not a bad batting string. Willy Vlautin and the boys continue to evolve and entertain. Hanging out in the Calexico slums of Wavelab in Tuscon brought a Mariachi feel to some of the songs. And the collaborations with Mssrs. Burns and Convertino were a natural. Get the EP with videos and extra tracks as well.

4. Alasdair Roberts- The Amber Gathers (Drag City)
The long-haired guru of Radio 1190 with the Barbarian countenance said "Get your ass down to the Larimer Lounge" for a show by this Scottish cohort. Mesmerizing conversion occurred, with wild-assed bagpipe tunings and a high lonesome voice conveying the step-child of Bert Jans and Will Oldham. "Pretty Polly" was a light-weight in comparison.

5. The Moe Greene Specials- The Open Road (Again) (Sonic Rendezvous)
We love you Moe Greene Specials! Where else does the intersection of Spaghetti Western and REM collide. The new one has vocals, and it seems like a logical conclusion. Sexy Italian/French counterpoint vocals add to the mystery. Where's the movie?

6. Ennio Morricone- Morricone In the Brain (Cherry Red Records)
With Karlheim Stockhausen's passing, the Master who remains is Morricone. Here is a smattering of 1970's madness that covers the gamut from whistling goofiness, to proto-minimalistic pattern music. The way this sticks together depends on your susceptibility to suggestion. The Master suggests you submit to his mayhem.

7. Delmore Brothers- Volume 2 (JSP 4 CD Box Set)
I've got those Brown's Ferry Blues, with slap-back reverb! The later years of this close-harmony brother's duo are filled with some interesting proto-rock, although they'd be the first to deny it. The British JSP label has done it again, compiling all the later output of the Delmore Brothers in a 4 CD set that will take a couple evenings to digest. Ther are a number of un-heard gems here, awaiting the ol' Model-T to wend down the holler to the ol' cabin.

8. Chuckanut Drive- The Crooked Mile Home (Ragtown Records)
Saw 'em at the Sunset Lounge in Seattle, and the fact that a young band from Bellingham was doing Country Rock that Buck Owens would be proud of was quite a surprise. Hearing this disc, the band challenges the realm of Gram Parsons and his progeny. Mama tried.

9. Apples In Stereo- New Magnetic Wonder (Simian Records)
Nepotism be damned. So what if Milkman & nme are still waiting for the royalty checks to roll in :-) This is a great release featuring the power-pop that made the Apples famous, updated with a psychedelic scheen that puts one foot in the past and one mellotron in the future.

10. Hyakkei- Standing Still in a Moving Scene (Human Highway)
Fearless Ed Post (of Radio 1190's 'Under the Mattress') and 'Route 78 West's' Uncle Jeff stumbled into a show by the Japanese instrumental band Hyakkei at this year's SXSW in Austin. It was a lucky accident, as this 3-piece band had the whole crowd mesmerized with its tight and fresh take on post-rock-jazz-surf. This is what Tortoise might sound like if they could write short, concise songs with solid melodies and cut out some of the wankery. There is a driving feel to the faster tracks, and the drumming is propelling and quite inventive, all the while leaving space for excellent guitar melodics. The one acoustic track (12 'elements') is an interesting side-step.

11. Neil Young- Live at Massey Hall 1971 (Reprise w/DVD)

12. Wilco- Sky Blue Sky (Nonesuch)
"Dad-rock" said a few reviews. And if your Dad listened to Television and Can, you have a cool Dad! The guitar interplay on this record, courtesy of Nels Cline, moves Jeff Tweedy's vision into the stratosphere. We have one of our great song writers battling with an equal foe of the six-string. This one took a couple of listens for the average listener. But the results were verified by four out of five doctors. No prescription necessary.

13. Six Organs of Admittance- Shelter From the Ash (Drag City)
Where Ben Chasny finally gets it right and makes a great folk/psych stew of yummy goodness, using all the tricks in his impressive guitar arsenal. This one merges the Eastern modal raga-esque feel with the timeless quality of Fairport and Pentangle, with production and atmospherics that plant it firmly in the present.

14. Sir Richard Bishop- While My Guitar Violently Bleeds (Locust)
Worship at the bastard altar of Django Rheinhart and John Fahey. The greatest living guitarist, Sir Richard delivers a couple of magic modal masterpieces, and a slab of electronic mayhem. The Drag City release "Polythiestic Fragments" is tame by comparison.

15. Tinariwen- Aman Iman: Water Is Life (World Village)
Easily the best concert of 2007.

16. Steve Earle- Washington Square Serenade (New West)
Old Farts rule! How Steve Earle continues to keep it fresh is beyond me, but this time around, it's the build from the ground up with hip-hop beats that makes this one interesting. And the great songwriting. A National Treasure...

17. Stephen Stills- Just Roll Tape (Eyewall/Rhino)
Back in 1968, Mr. Stills had a hundred bucks in his pocket, and he asked the engineer to keep the tape rolling when he was working on a Judy Collins LP. Sweet Judy Blue-Eyes, indeed! The reel-to-reel languished in the vaults for 30 years, only to be released by the good folks at Rhino in its lo-fi glory. This is one for the archivists, but the casual listener will hear these early demos and recognize real talent captured without artifice. All is forgiven.

18. Gram Parsons with the Flying Burrito Bros.- Live at the Avalon Ballroom 1969 (Amoeba Records)
Hidden in the vaults for nearly 30 years, this one proves that the Burrito Brothers *could* play live and the shadow they cast still reverberates in the Alt-Americana scene today. Essentially two nearly identical live sets, there's some choice Gram Parshons singing on this, and a great booklet with stories of how the tapes came to light.

19. Iron & Wine- The Shepherds Dog (Sub Pop)

20. Magnolia Electric Co.- Sojourner (Secretly Canadian Box Set)
Too much to digest for the casual fan, this box set has a tour movie, an amulet, and 4 CDs recorded in different studios over the last few years all housed in balsa-wood. Precious? Probably not, but the complete oevure of Jason Molina is represented, from the swampy reverbed Sun Sessions to lo-fi home demos and the Albini produce gems in between. Loads of new material for the fanatics and believers.
