Man, this is really quite an album! Excellent choice and a great live clip! ☀️👌 So talented.

Robbie Robertson is centre in the picture above, BoDeans also provided backing vocals on RR's solo album in 1987 and Sammy BoDean features in the video for Somewhere Down the Crazy River

BoDeans - Outside Looking In

Don't Be Lonely

A bluegrassy late night affair with the added nicely judged element of Arlene Newsome's guest vocals. 👌

Ooh, great choice 👏

😁😁 Yes, the Chantoozie himself as the drummer! Not sure if he actually drummed on the album? Quite a number of legends behind the scenes - Chris Bailey and Buzz Bidstrup etc as well as a David McComb song (Too Hot to Move Too Hot to Think).

I just posted this also for the word sweet on t'other place. Also noted that it was written by Sharon O'Neill another fave from back in the day ❤️

BoDeans - Outside Looking In

Pick Up The Pieces

If you grew up in the 70s listening to your parents' records, like me, you may find a comforting Fleetwood Mac vibe to the vocals.

If life is breaking you down, BoDeans are here to get you through

BoDeans - Outside Looking 6

9 What It Feels Like

I was 17 when the album came out and wanted to know what it feels like too! 😉 Sam's Dylan-esque vocals are perfect for this theme.

Great choice! 👏 An overlooked album I think. Will look forward to it! 👌

Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 3d

Oh, I forgot that cover upsets this - a male armpit?

Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 3d

The festival of BoDeans has continued today, they're good company! 😉

Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 3d

Ooh, a teaser! 😉 Yes, rather crazy, I guess it shows how passionate they are about the group though! 😎 I've found that it consciously informs how fans rank the albums, including on the sequencing of Kurt vs Sam songs, it's quite fascinating how much analysis is out there for this group! 🥰

Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 3d

Absolutely! 💯 As always it is interesting to consider the songs one by one (also had to cut 3) the songwriting is credited to He & He (Kurt and Sam "BoDean") a la Lennon/McCartney but assuming the singer is the main writer, I do love the emo ones with Sam's Dylan-esque vocals. Divides fans!

Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 3d

It's in honour of finally having the 80s collection on vinyl! It was a tough choice between them but it is the emotion stirring favourite, nearly 40 years on!

Kurt explains the story in this live version - this is what I love, the authenticity and sincerity!
