The Fall - Live At The Corn Exchange Kings Lynn 1996 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

When Mark E Smith died in January 2018, an era ended with him. The Fall were an English post-punk band, formed in 1976 in Prestwich, Greater Manchester. They underwent many line up changes, with vocalist and founder Smith as the only constant member. First associated with the late 1970s punk movement, the Fall's music underwent numerous stylistic changes, often concurrently with changes in the group's lineup. Nonetheless, their music has generally been characterised by an abrasive, repetitive guitar-driven sound, tense bass and drum rhythms, and Smith's caustic lyrics, described by critic Simon Reynolds as Incha kind of Northern English magic realism that mixed industrial grime with the unearthly and uncanny, voiced through a unique, one-note delivery somewhere between amphetamine-spiked rant and alcohol-addled yarn.Inch They were always at their best on stage, and this collection captures them in full flow.

Spencer Livingston is an Americana artist, his debut CD is Grow. Growing up, Spencer's musical tastes were molded by his dad's record collection. Son of actor Barry Livingston, who played Ernie Douglas on the iconic sitcom InchMy Three SonsInch, Spencer connected with Tom Petty, Neil Young and roots music in general. The single InchHave a Little FaithInch is an anthem for a new protest generation, and features steel guitar and mandolin by Milk Carton Kids' Kenneth Pattingale. Lucinda Williams drummer and founding member of Eels, Butch Norton, joins Marc Cohn bassist Jon Ossman as Spencer's legendary rhythm section. Grow is a wide eyed romp through the wilds of Los Angeles.
