Love That Album Episode 54 - Fay Eitzel
b'Episode 54 of LTA is a world away from episode 53. Whereas in episode\\n53, Eric Reanimator and I discussed two dangerous front men in rock, this time\\naround, I am joined by the greatest film and music expert Bath has ever known,\\nMr Bernard Stickwell (Sticky to his friends) to discuss two sensitive singer\\nsongwriter types.\\n\\n\\n\\n2012 saw the first release of new, non-demo material in 40 odd years\\nfrom British songwriter Bill Fay. His new album \\u201cLife Is People\\u201d is a warm\\nsounding album rich in its song arrangements. Fay writes songs about what he\\nhas discovered about life - both the disappointing and hopeful \\u2013 through\\nactually living it. He has worked in a multitude of jobs since originally\\ngiving up the industry (not giving up music) to keep himself afloat. It\\u2019s these\\nexperiences that dictate his subject matter, and it all rings true, as Sticky\\nand I discuss.\\n\\n\\n\\nWe also cover the 1994 album by former American Music Club frontman,\\nMark Eitzel, \\u201c60 Watt Silver Lining\\u201d. Sticky introduced me to this record, and\\nit\\u2019s become a favourite. Imagine Tom Waits, Burt Bacharach and Roy Orbison\\ngetting together at a late night bar, and you get a vague idea of what\\u2019s going\\non here. Eitzel\\u2019s obviously had his heart broken and stomped on. From misery\\ncomes great art, but it\\u2019s been suggested that he\\u2019s often taking the piss.\\xa0 This is part of our discussion (and we cover\\nblaxploitation films too). We had fun, and I hope you dig it.\\n\\n\\n\\nSpeaking of Eric, he returns with his Album I Love segment to discuss a\\ncouple of long players by Kevin Kinney, Macdougal Blues from 1990 and Down Out\\nLaw 1994. Kevin was the lead singer of a band Eric has long championed, Drivin\\u2019\\nand Cryin\\u2019. Eric\\u2019s reflections on Kinney\\u2019s solo work makes for interesting\\nlistening.\\n\\n\\n\\nYou\\ncan download the podcast at iTunes by searching for \\u201clove that album\\u201d.
