afro poppa Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Anyone else listening to these guys? I've seen em a few times at various festies (10k, gotv, roo) and they always impress me...I am listening right now to the gotv show...check out the end where martin sexton came out and the played woodstock...as some of my new mexican friends would say "buenos diempos" (good times)http://www.archive.org/details/aod2006-08-18.km184.flac16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Sure. I have one of their discs, which gets regular rotation around here.Great band! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoulia Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I've seen these guys soo many times...was never really a fan since I couldn't get past Reid's voice, which just annoyed me. But lately I've been really diggin' them. I found myself singing one of their songs that has been in heavy rotation on Sirius and was shocked!Great band, for sure.

moe.ron Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 The phrase 'don't even get me started' comes to mind... I was a huge Strangefolk fan, went through mourning when Reid left, and definitely love AOD. I rarely get to listen to them because most people just make fun of me when I try - you know who you are - but I throw them on every once in a while. Buenos Diempos es la verdad!

MarcO Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I've enjoyed everything I've ever heard from them and will get around I'm sure to checking out some more. Good songs, can't beat that!Saw Strangefolk once and they were excellent as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 That's funny. I had no idea they were related to Strangefolk. (That's probably a good thing, because I really tried to get into Strangefolk, and have their first four discs, but I just can't enjoy them no matter how much I try. Maybe I should pull those out again. It's been a good half-decade.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartamophone Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Oh hell yes. I had only heard a handful of their tunes until snoe.down last year, where I really got into them. Big fan, for sure. If only they'd come out West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavetothegroove Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 When I first started listening to AOD and Strangefolk I wasn't hooked right away by their recordings. As soon as I saw them live I was blown away. Reid's lyrical talents are so striving and the band has such good chemistry. They're sound flows out of them so naturally and really gives you this warm feeling inside when you listen to them.Can't wait to see them at Langerado too brother!!CheersSteph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobL Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) found it.. my and my sis slavetothegroove saw reid in nyc at the big apple fest on 42nd st in the pouring rain doing this song.. sick lyrics.. too good.. "When it rains... it pours.. when it rainssss . lay down lay down lay down.. Cabin John Don’t you know what time it is? It’s early. I know you find it hard to sleep but Surely you will, surely you will Surely you will, surely you will Surely you will, surely you will Lay down. I’m an evil man I don’t mind sayin I’ve been drinkin all this day. Keep your tongue still and your eyes wide open These words are all I’ve got to say. Never truck with a lie. Turn around and leave it lie Turn around and leave it Turn around and leave it Turn around and leave your lie When it rains, it pours. When it rains, lay down. My roof has got a leak but only when it’s raining. It’s a shifty lookin’ bleeder. Naked arms and legs and buckets dripping. The water sweet, the woman sweeter. I’m goin’ over Jordan, I’m goin’ over Jordan. I’m goin way back home to meet her. When it rains, it pours. When it rains, lay down. My name is forgettable, So I invite you to remember this tale. My days have been miserable. But don’t you get the wrong idea. The rhythm of her cool northern voice drew me in and I didn’t have a choice, yes, The rhythm of her cool northern smile drew me in and I’ve been here for a while, The rhythm of her cool northern ways drew me in and now I spend my days Remembering the rain. Drink from the vessel I drink from Eat from my plate This poor dry meal my supper Bathe in the taste of my fate. {chorus} This conversation began a hundred years ago A book of days within that year body’s severed from there soul Dead ground turnin,dead ground turning My mind’s attuned within my skull. {chorus} Edited January 31, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
