Love That Album episode 60 - The Livingstone Daisies “Don’tKnow What Happiness Is” and The Grapes “Western Sun”
Summary: <br> <br> Welcome to episode 60 of Love That Album. At the end of<br> 2013, two of my favourite albums came from Melbourne bands, and I discuss both<br> of them with their songwriters. <br> <br> First of all, The Livingstone Daisies brought a slice of<br> harmony laden pop goodness into the world with “Don’t Know What Happiness Is”<br> (their fans did after hearing it). I speak with the Daisies’ songwriter Van<br> Walker, who has recorded a number of albums in his own right about how this<br> supergroup came into being and this wonderful record. Think Teenage Fanclub,<br> and you’ll get the idea.<br> <br> Then, I speak to Sherry Rich who has made a myriad of great<br> albums with her own bands (including members of Wilco), but along with Even’s<br> Ash Naylor has reformed The Grapes. They put out a perfect pop album in 1999,<br> and then released another wonderful country / pop hybrid album 14 years later<br> called Western Sun. We speak about both records as well as Sherry’s time in<br> Nashville.<br> <br> Eric Reanimator returns with his Album I Love segment<br> discussing all girl power pop band The Barbarellas with their aptly titled Queens<br> of the Galaxy. Fans of Thee Ultra Bimboos will dig.<br> <br> You can download the podcast at iTunes by searching for “love that<br> album”.
