Description

HEAR this actual record you are bidding on at my esotericarchivesyoutube channel. CRAIG ASP with the NEW RODEO BAND: Takin' Time
Produced and engineered by Craig Asp & Marty Mohn in 1980 for Lonesome Prairie Productions: Lake Park, Minnesota Pressed by Friendship Productions: Fargo, North Dakota in conjunction with ASI.
Recorded in Marty Mohn's home in Duluth, MN and Craig's Home in Lake Park, MN. A track was recorded at the Labor Temple in Duluth. Studio track "Lovers Lane" was recorded at Twin Tone / Blackberry Way by producer Paul Stark.
New Rodeo Band: CRAIG ASP - Lead Vocals, Harmonies, Guitar Harmonica, String Synthesizer (on two tracks) & Percussion MARTIN MOHN - Lead Guitars, Banjo, Steel Guitar CARL WIRTZ - Bass RON JOHNSON - Drums & Percussion MIKE SILOVICH - Harmonies, Percussion ROBIN SILOVICH - Harmonies JAY SHOGREN - Guitars & Percussion
Great record which has been hyped as "loner folk" when really only one track could be described as such on this album. Diverse realms are traveled within folk, rock and country flowing with a consistency ranging from Beatlesque Power Pop with a Nick Lowe production vibe (Lovers Lane rec. at Twin Tone) to Texas Roadhouse hard blues / country rock on Rodney Crowell's "Ain't Livin Long Like This". Rural Rock, Psychedelic Folk, Alternative Country, Power Pop and Folk Rock are more fitting "genres" representative of this private pressing record in addition to the one "Loner Folk" track. This being connected with Twin Tone records home of The Replacements, it has a similarity in sound & approach as Westerberg & early Replacements. If not for this record being released in 1980, one could assume Craig Asp had been a fan of Uncle Tupelo! Makes me wonder, perhaps Jay & Jeff were & still are fans of this homemade document. A scarce and obscure find.
