You have not been taking the advice o' ...Girl! You have <i>not</i> been taking the advice o' your favorite Fool! I've been touting Elvis Perkins to anyone who will listen since at least <a href="http://www.afoolintheforest.com/2006/12/listing.html" rel="nofollow">Christmas of ought-Six</a>!<br /><br />For me, he's not so much Lennon-esque as a <a href="http://www.afoolintheforest.com/2007/02/ash_wednesday_f.html" rel="nofollow">new Van Morrison</a>, with a dash of <a href="http://www.afoolintheforest.com/2009/12/" rel="nofollow">Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison</a> for spice.<br /><br />To two excellent choices in your post, I would add this live performance of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp7ekqTj9eo&feature=PlayList&p=1921E7E3764E4579&index=0&playnext=1" rel="nofollow">'Shampoo'</a>. <br /><br />I have not seen any sign of new recordings coming from Mr. Perkins. They cannot come soon enough for me.<br /><br />P.S., You, dear lady, actually <i>commented</i> on one of my Elvis Perkins posts <a href="http://www.afoolintheforest.com/2007/02/no_one_will_har.html" rel="nofollow">many a year ago</a>. (Told you you shoulda listened.) Thanks for spreading the word on this most excellent artist.George Wallacehttp://www.afoolintheforest.comnoreply@blogger.com
