Another 'HFS staple from the early 80's...here is a vinyl L.P. from my record collection that was ripped a couple of years ago to my hard drive.
Between 1984 and 1990, the Del-Lords released four studio albums plus a mini live album. Most of their output has been made available on CD except the first two LP's which have never been reissued on CD, even though some songs can be found on Get Tough (the CD Best Of). With guitarist Scott Kempner (once Top Ten of the Dictators) penning the material but occasionally relinquishing lead vocals to guitarist Eric "Roscoe" Ambel, the Del-Lords embraced rock's basic components with such skill and verve that they outshone most everyone else on the scene. (Trouser Press).

Kayaker,
ReplyDelete"How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live" was a major Weasel song from 1984. I think this song was the most played song from 84/85timeframe.
Do you recall the other ones that HFS played from the Del Lords?
Thanks for the cool rip!

Of course: Love Lies Dying; a super song only bested by one of the best songs of all time--St. Jake: "Rock and Roll Radio for Goodness Sake, blessed our the faithful; St. Jake.''

ReplyDeleteHere's a fun little story about how you're my hero. I'm 22 now, but this story must have happened when I was about 12.
ReplyDeleteMy dad had a vinyl of Frontier Days, and one day he played it for me. I liked it, so I kept getting it out and listening to it. I got up for a minute, and my dog walked by and hit the record player with his tail, leaving a huge scar across the entire record. My dad was a little bent out of shape over it, since there was no way he was going to get a replacement.
Ten years later, his birthday is coming up, and thanks to you, I have the perfect present for him.
Zvel,
ReplyDeleteThnaks for the cool story!
Hope the Bday gift is a hit
