Sometimes, even the biggest bands release something that takes you by surprise. Radiohead had released their sixth album, Hail To The Thief, in 2003, and were getting ready to go on hiatus. Com Lag was a surprise…it was intended (as shown on the album cover) to be released in Japan. It’s classified as an EP, probably to keep it from being linked to the rest of the band’s studio albums. Is it really an EP? It runs 10 tracks and over 36 minutes…you be the judge. What it is not is an album of new music from Radiohead. It’s actually a compilation of B-sides from 2003 singles, a pair of remixes, a pair of live tracks (including their hit “2 + 2 = 5”), and one alternate version (“I Will”). What it lacks is the cohesiveness of a true Radiohead album, and the excitement that hearing new work from the band can bring.
Because Radiohead isn’t a band that puts out a lot of live albums, the two concert tracks here are a nice touch. And if you’re a fan of Hail To The Thief, then consider this to be a nice compliment with alternate versions, remixes and single B-sides. There’s nothing bad here at all…there’s just nothing groundbreaking, which is what we’ve come to expect from this band. Is Com Lag simply a space filler from a group that was at the beginning of a four year silence? The fact is that it’s good but not great, satisfying but not very stimulating, and a surprisingly lateral move from a band known for giant leaps forward. It’s disappointing because of who it is, a band that we have come to expect bigger and better things from. And they usually deliver. But not here. Com Lag sounds good, but it’s not very important, and not very original at all. [First added to this chart: 12/01/2024]

Fleet Foxes plays what is called indie folk. Formed by a pair of high school kids (Robin Pecknold and Skyler Skjelset) in the 2000’s who were influenced heavily by Bob Dylan and Neil Young, they had the excellent good fortune to have renowned produced Phil Ek as a friend of Pecknold’s family. He got them into a studio and onto the radar of Sub Pop records, and the rest is history. Their self titled debut album from 2008 didn’t exactly fly off of the shelves, but it was very highly regarded by critics and set the stage for their breakthrough album, 2011’s Helplessness Blues. The sound of this album is simple, quiet and mature, with a set of very good songs that will grow on you if you give them the chance to. Fleet Foxes made a great number of best of lists from 2008, and for good reason. This is a really exceptional debut album. It’s a beautiful, laid back disc that will keep bringing you back for more.
The beautiful sound of this album is best on display on the track “White Winter Hymnal”, which opens a cappella and quickly turns into a beautiful played track. “Your Protector” features flutes and portrays a sense of surprisingly mature longing and wistful beauty. “He Doesn’t Know Why” is a majestic and perfect song. Fleet Foxes is loaded with material like this, and although their next album is better known…this is really the one to have. This was a band and an album that I did not have huge hopes for, but they surprised me a lot. And if you like this, then you’ll definitely want Helplessness Blues as well. The band took a break after that and released a third album, Crack-Up, in 2017. Fleet Foxes is a band, and an album, and a sound, that is more than worth checking out. These guys are the real thing, and the treasures that await you on their albums are much more than numerous. [First added to this chart: 08/09/2013]

1. Hard Livin’
2. The Good Life
3. Who Am I To Say
4. Lone Pine Hill
5. South Georgia Sugar Babe
6. What Do You Do When You’re Lonesome

8. Lonesome And You
9. Ain’t Glad I’m Leaving
10. Far Away In Another Town
What do you do when you’re the son of the legendary Steve Earle, who gave you your middle name in honor of the great Townes Van Zandt? What else are you going to do except to make music? Every bit his father’s son, Justin Townes Earle does just that, and on his debut album, The Good Life, he delivers. Not completely, mind you. Not just yet. Earle was still just getting his young feet wet here, and not trying to ride the wave of his father’s success. Give the boy some credit…he’s done it his way, and in his own time. He started catching on with his audience in 2010, with his album Harlem River Blues. The Good Life is an understated, almost shy debut that exposes Earle for what he really is: he’s a folkie with an outlaw country heart. And that, my friends, is something we definitely need more of.
The centerpiece and biggest highlight of The Good Life is “Lone Pine Hill”. It’s a song about a man in Civil War times wondering what he’s fighting for, and wishing for his true love. Also of note is “Hard Livin’”, “What Do You Do When You’re Lonesome”, and “Far Away In Another Town”. This album runs unfortunately short…it barely reaches thirty minutes in length…but as a debut for an up and coming young songwriter, it still works quite well. The backing musicians are excellent, led by lap steel player Chris Scruggs, bassist Bryn Davies and Cory Younts from Old Crow Medicine Show. There’s no posturing here…just a guy and his guitar and his little band playing some of his little songs for you. It’s that intimate, and it works well that way. Earle’s career is worth following, and there’s no better place to start than here, at the beginning. [First added to this chart: 09/23/2020]

John Doe was a founding member, lead singer and bass player for the great LA punk band X. Between 1990 and 1987, that band was responsible for one of the greatest six album runs in rock history. During that period, Doe proved to be a prolific and powerful songwriter, and his vocals interwoven with those of his once wife Exene Cervenka made the X sound very unique. He hasn’t really slowed down much, either. Doe has released several solo albums (ten to be exact), as well as many collaborations with artists like Dave Alvin and Jill Sobule. He has also been a member of The Knitters, and has been active as an actor. His solo work has gone mostly unnoticed, but it has also been consistently very good. 2005’s Forever Hasn’t Happened Yet is Doe’s fifth solo album, coming and going ithout making so much as a blip on any kind of chart. Understandable…Doe has never really made music for the masses. But if you’re lucky enough to be a fan, there are always plenty of rewards.
On Forever Hasn’t Happened Yet, the sound is very rootsy (people tend to forget that in the early days, X used to share billing with the likes of Dwight Yoakam). And Doe understands what works for himself vocally. The album contains several vocal duets, which was a staple of the X sound. He’s joined here by the likes of Grant Lee Phillips, Neko Case, Kristin Hersh, and Cindy Lee Berryhill. Dave Alvin contributes guitar, and his X bandmate DJ Bonebrake is also present, so the music is all in good hands. The biggest issue with this album is brevity. The songs are uniformly short (only three top three minutes), and the album as a whole barely tops thirty minutes. And with songs like “The Losing Kind”, “Hwy. 5” and “Ready”, you really want there to be more. It’s a shame that Doe’s solo work isn’t better known, but for those who have discovered it, there are plenty of rewards available in his catalog. [First added to this chart: 11/25/2013]
