Summary: <br> <br> We have a weird chronology going with Episode 64 of Love<br> That Album.<br> <br> Great friend of the show, Dave Mclemore and I discuss the 2014<br> album by Houston-bred, Nashville-based singer songwriter Robert Ellis, “The<br> Lights From the Chemical Plant”. It was supposed to be a companion discussion<br> to episode 61’s chat about Richard & Linda Thompson’s “Shoot Out The<br> Lights” but technical issues prevented Dave from joining that show so I saved<br> it for later. When we DID record, it was simultaneous to Eric and Tim recording<br> episode 62…which obviously got released first. Then I did episode 63 by myself.<br> Does any of this this make sense? Do you care?<br> <br> Anyway, Dave and I had a terrific discussion about Robert<br> Ellis and his subject matter of infidelity, being babysat by the TV, drowning<br> sorrows in wine and cocaine, and life on the road – standard song writing<br> subject matter. There are comparisons abound with song writing greats like Paul<br> Simon, Randy Newman and Bruce Springsteen. Tune in and find out why this album<br> is worthy of your attention. It was an absolute pleasure having Davey Mac back<br> on the show. A true gent.<br> <br> NOTE: For any Melbourne based LTA listeners, Robert Ellis is<br> appearing at a new Americana Festival called Out On The Weekend along with a<br> bunch of other talented singer songwriters like Justin Townes Earle on October<br> 18 at Seaworks in Williamstown. <br> <br> Eric Peterson (aka Reanimator) returns for another Album I<br> Love segment to talk about Californian band, Thin White Rope and their record “In<br> The Spanish Cave” from 1988. See how they fit in between punk and alt-country.<br> <br> You can download the podcast at iTunes by searching for “love that<br> album”.
