Michael Hall's solo albums are reviewed here by Trouser Press honcho Ira Robbins (himself a music critic turned musician turned novelist).
Michael Hall also participated in an Austin singer-songwriter-supergroup called The Setters with Alejandro Escovedo and Walter Salas-Humara. The trio performed songs written by each member (including Michael Hall's brilliant "Let's Take Some Drugs And Drive Around", which Salas-Humara also recorded with his group The Silos).
This live set from 1987 features Wild Seeds originals from their albums Brave, Clean + Reverent and Mud, Lies & Shame, as well as the EP Life Is Grand. Covers include a raucous "Roadrunner", "Cinnamon Girl" and the closer, "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting". Sounds like it was a wild night out at The Roxy in Washington, DC. These live Homemade Albums make me miss live music all the more.

Another Stinky Production
I left teh ATX in May 1980 and didn't get back until August 1992, so basically missed the heyday of this scene, though I had been a (teeny-tiny itty-bitty) bit player in the 1977-80 punk scene which was just barely big enough to be a scene but had some great music and musicians...thanks for this.
ReplyDeleteI'm always glad to find others who love The Wild Seeds, Eric! If their label (Passport) hadn't gone belly up, they might have made it! Thanks for commenting! :) - Stinky
