ROB SEZ: In case anyone thinks Repercussion has turned into a "re-post only" blog, let today's post stand as a corrective. At least once a month, I will continue to post new material that hasn't appeared here before. Even if you're not currently a fan of NRBQ, this would be a good one to try if you're curious about this great American band — still in business 50 years after its founding.
REPERCUSSION: NRBQ has direct and indirect ties to The dB's. In his recent book A Spy In the House of Loud, Chris Stamey says NRBQ was "one of our favorite bands" that played with "irresistible verve and superior musicianship." Chris adds, "looking back, I think the dB's 'punk roots' at the time [ie, the late 1970s and early 1980s] were actually NRBQ and Richard Thompson as well as Television." Years later, Chris enlisted NRBQ founder/leader/vocalist/keyboard virtuoso Terry Adams to play on his 1991 solo album Fireworks. And as blog reader Pablo pointed out, both bands were signed to Bearsville Records at the time of the label's demise in the 1980s.

Thanks for this! NRBQ might be the most underrated band ever
ReplyDeleteDefinitely
DeleteAgreed! I have 1 older NRBQ post, but I'm sure there will be others in the future...
ReplyDeleteThe 1980:s concert got the same disc twice, missing the files in disc 2.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. And it was screwed up for the FLAC as well as MP3 versions. I just fixed both sets, re-uploaded and created new links. THANK YOU for letting me know!
DeleteDidn't both DBs and NRBQ get screwed by Bearsville Records? After the NRBQ album in 83 the band and label weren't getting along, and the label boss wouldn't put out another record by them but also wouldn't let them out of their contract... I think he was waiting for another label to buy out their contract but that never happened... Finally he died but many years were lost for them.
ReplyDeleteThat's right. I didn't realize NRBQ was in that same boat, but I know that when Bearsville Records went belly-up, the dB's album Like This had just been released. Not too long after that, Bearsville owner Albert Grossman died, which put the band in even worse limbo.
