This was the last Warner Corner of 2014. The theme was ‘Year’.
I dragged Al MacInnes into the show so we could do one of my favourite songs from the new album, ‘Fall Into The Sky‘.

Warner Corner – Year
Warner Corner – Birds
I came late to Richmond Fontaine – but Jeez they’re good. When my brother gave me ‘The High Country’ for my birthday one year, I was sceptical. I had liked all their records until that point, but concept records are hard to make work.
This one certainly does – I bloody love it.
Particularly this song. This performance would have to be one of my favourite Warner Corners of all time (that’s saying a lot, the show’s been going more than 15 years!).
Jane Hendry (Broads/The Tiger & Me) sings the haunting answering verse. Just makes you want to grab her hand and keep running…

Warner Corner – She’s A Jar
Summerteeth used to be my favourite Wilco record…just recently usurped by The Whole Love. Both Nathan and Ed play beautifully on this version of She’s a Jar…

Ed Bates plays Rain Dogs
Just love it when Ed Bates brings the electric into Warner Corner.
Here’s our performance of Tom Waits’ Rain Dogs on RRR 16/6/13…

Warner Corner – Shaky Ground
I have fond memories of this Uncle Tupelo record. Almost each Sunday without fail Mick Ruff, the barman at the old Punters’ Club hotel in Fitzroy, would play the album as Al and I set up for the regular Sunday spot. Mick always said that he would love to hear us play Fatal Wound. Didn’t quite get there, Mick, but here’s Shaky Ground instead.
