Sure, it might be a little dark and muddy and unloved compared to the few releases that came prior and afterwards but I have forever had a soft spot for “Fables of the Reconstruction”, their 3rd LP, from 1985. It’s certainly one of the most “them”…
I’d been without a vinyl copy but landed one a while back and it was on frequent rotation down at Chompy’s Downeast Yacht Club. And during a particularly spin-heavy weekend when we had visitors from afar, I figured it was a record that I wouldn’t mind covering most or all of. And so here we are at long last with four of my faves: a chimy riffer, a swamper, a maundery singalong, and a hazy dream story with piano and banjo…
