H.Stone Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Has anyone downloaded the torrent of him performing many of the songs live in France? I did. And I'm underwhelmed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 We've had some talk of the album - not much though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 first track from the album: http://www.songsillinois.net/?p=3133 i think it's absolutely gorgeous myself.. that organ sounds wonderful, as does his voice. guest appearances by Jenny Lewis, Susanna Hoffs & more Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 this is a fantastic tune. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H.Stone Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 Thanks for the link--the orchestration is beautiful, the studio version much more pleasing than what I torrented. I'm on a second listen now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the carlos Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Thanks for the link Solace. Really pretty song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I haven't listened yet, but I doubt this will be bad. In fact I can't imagine Louris doing anything but putting out a great solo album LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Sounds like a Smile leftover - sort of. I still think Gary sounds best when he is singing with Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El Picador Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I like this. It really makes me anticipate the new record. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 http://www.myspace.com/garylouris listen to 3 more new songs on Gary's MySpace only on She Only Calls Me On Sundays, but it's gorgeous too. the Laurel Canyon Family Choir is very present on this one. man i can't wait for this one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
myboyblue Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Sounds like a Smile leftover - sort of. I still think Gary sounds best when he is singing with Mark. I really don't hear Smile on this track at all...other than it's the same guy singing it. Is that what you mean? thanks for the link...since songsillinois changed the link, i haven't been back in a bit. Great shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
myboyblue Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 first track from the album: http://www.songsillinois.net/?p=3133 i think it's absolutely gorgeous myself.. that organ sounds wonderful, as does his voice. guest appearances by Jenny Lewis, Susanna Hoffs & more I loved the video for the documentary along with the song...great stuff.

H.Stone Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 Thanks for the heads up to the MySpace tracks. DC Blues is my "favorite" of the four--I like the mood of it. Some of the phrasing in True Blue sounds a lot like Break In The Clouds to my ear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calexico Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Nothing wrong with anything sounding like Smile. Not that I think that these songs really do. Vagabonds is one of the greatest songs Gary has written in years though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Oh, sweet Jesus, the title track is perfection. Wow. Dollars to donuts, that's Chris Robinson singing over the outro. Really sounds like him, anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TimRoss Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Anyone able to capture the three other songs? I listened to Sunday, but I missed the other two. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMaker Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I hope so. I have an almost chemical need to listen to Vagabonds and I started crying when I saw that it'd been taken down. But not really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
