ROB SEZ: Don was the founder, songwriter, and lead singer of New Zealand's beloved Mutton Birds. Friend of the Finns, Don is every bit as talented as Neil & Tim, but not as well known. He deserves to be an international household name. I buy all of Don's albums without stopping to ask "Is this going to be worth the money?" because I know it will be — and I've never been disappointed. I am stoked to know he's about to drop his latest, Bright November Morning, at the end of October (see below).

ROB SEZ: Here's an "authorized bootleg" that was available exclusively from the band for a few years. AllMusic says it's a 4-star album. It's very hard to come by these days, and I thought 20 years would be a long enough wait before sharing it. I had some minor flooding in my music storage area recently, and salvaged the CD from the mess, which explains the odd stainage visible on the rear of the cardboard sleeve. My ears thought Sam Gibson's original mix had Don McGlashan's voice too low, so I added compression (one pass) to raise the volume of the vocals. Devoted Mutton Birds fans probably have this one already, but here it is for everyone else. (There's also a mystery bonus share hiding in plain sight.) Cheers & enjoy.
