Dusted off the old records and found Dan Baird's first solo album "Love Songs For The Hearing Impaired." Forgot how good this album was. Listening to that album lead me to find my Georgia Satellites records, then Jason & The Scorchers. This music kicks ass! The Scorchers did a cover of 19th Nervous Breakdown. Any other fans out there? Are there any bands today that do the country punk thing that anyone can recommend? I do like the Supersuckers a lot!

Love the CD "Longbox" Dave holds up in the Dan Baird video.

Still Standing is a great record! The Scorchers are still putting on great shows!

Dan Baird is one of the great rock and roll voices imo

yeah man am a huge Danny Boy Baird fan. the guy IS rock and roll. one night in Sudbury Ontario in January 1985 (or so) when it was about minus 30 out, the dive called Coulson's was jammed waiting for the Satellites to play. problem was it was getting on to midnight and they weren't even there yet; sudbury is a 4 hour hike north of toronto even in good weather, let alone in blizzards etc. so, we are drinking and getting stoked, its a blizzard out there

they show up at midnight, load in their gear with freezing winds howing in, snow and stuff all flying in, and start just after 1am

the bar is packed, Dan Baird strolls onstage, grabs the mike and in that southern drawl, says; 'holy @#$%& its cold out there!!, how the hell y'all live up here?'

and then they proceeded to tear the roof off the place with barnstorming rock and roll for the next few hours.

all Dan Baird's solo stuff s great, and I really like his stuff with the Yayhoos (with Eric Ambel, ex- Del Lords member) and Roscoe's Gang namesake. Roscoes Gang has cool stuff out, too, though hard to get. the other guys are terry anderson and keith christopher.

one of my favorite records right now as we speak is dan baird and the sofa kings - 'redneck savant' (live in 2001); there's an exchange with the crowd where just before baird plays the old satellites song 'another chance' he says that he wrote that song after meeting the Faces Ronnie Lane ('i had the pleasure of meeting him, he was great and i miss him' he says, ' you know that song Ooh La La by the Faces? that's a great %^$$*$$ song and I stole this ('another chance') right from that.'

baird is fricken hilarious to boot

Ha ha, that one of him live on Letterman is actually a video I posted on youtube. Small world. When that song first came out, I COULDN'T STAND IT at all! But I dig it now. Wonder if the Georgia Satellites will ever get back together.

Thanks for the link! I'm going to start reading musicfog more often.

jason & the scorchers one of the best live bands!

Jason & The Scorchers' cover of "Absolutely Sweet Marie" might be my favorite cover of all time. Fervor is just a fantastic album from start to finish.

would love a new DB solo album..he's a busy guy..

I am a great fan of the the original Georgia Satellites, still have the (first three) albums on vinyl (also the inner sleeves were fantastic!), they just kept gettin better: from "Hands to Yourself" to "Hand to Mouth" and "Sheila" over to "All Over But The Cryin´", "Days Gone By", "Six Years Gone" and "Sweet Blue Midnight". To me simply brillant!
Then Rick Richards left for Izzy Stradlins JuJu Hounds and after the split the old magic disappeared a bit. To me, Dan Baird almost belongs in line w/ Bob Seger and John Fogerty. And I still have the HippyHippyShake, lol.

Cheerio, Fillmore

The Scorchers did a cover of 19th Nervous Breakdown.

That was a great cover, I had that album.

Excellent thread! I remember well when the Georgia Satellites broke big, and thought "I Love You Period" was incredibly annoying. I'm sure glad I got that second record, because it is great, and "Another Chance" is an amazing song. So I am definitely a fan of Dan Baird, though I haven't kept up with his recent releases.

I think I'll have to put that on the list of CD's to order next, and hear what he's been up to! He really is a tremendous talent.

Finally got the new album on vinyl after a two month wait, along with the new Electric and Acoustic live albums and the dvd Viva Nashvegas. Awesome rock 'n' roll!
