I gave another listen to Ru bym, Sodomy, and the Lash yesterday, and was surprised by how hard... Waltzing Matilda hit me. I'd heard the song plenty of times, but the combination of the passing of Shane and Kissinger really drove it home.
What a great tribute. I loved both of those albums too. And though I rarely like the later solo work of band frontmen and women, Scott’s Tenement Angels rocks pretty hard.
Damn...I wish I hadn't been too consumed with soaking up the pre-holiday NYC vibes last week to read this piece when it dropped. For as it happens, the very next day in Brooklyn I would be standing and chatting with Eric Ambel, who happens to be a pal of my dear old friend, Pete, whose one-night-only art exhibition we were both attending. Lovely guy, Eric is. To top it off, the day after that, I stumbled upon a copy of Frontier Days at Village Revival Records on Bleeker! Needless to say, I enjoyed this piece as I always do, buddy. 👍🏼

Once again, nicely done Dan!
Yeah, that’s a really powerful song - not to mention a really ballsy way to end a breakthrough album!

Good call — that's a really underrated record!
The passing of time is cruel. Listening to "Haunted" again after so many years has a new layer of sadness now too. Thank you for the memory Dan!
I know, right? That song and video were hitting me especially hard yesterday...
Great piece!
Well done. Appreciate your work.
Thank you!
Excellent piece. I was waiting for your Shane piece and it was as great as I had expected.
Awww, thank you.

Thanks, my man. So cool that you got to hang with “Roscoe”!
