As randomly chosen by survey* on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 857 on The List, submitted by melocipede.

Have you ever noticed that there’s often a very recognizable quality in recordings from musicians and bands who started their career as street performers/buskers? Maybe it’s just me, and I’m not even sure I can adequately describe it, but there’s this extra bit of oomph, spark, je ne sais quoi, that grabs and holds your attention. Whatever it is, I feel that with artists like Glen Hansard, Moon Hooch, and this ensemble, Tuba Skinny, who is sure to bring a get your toes a-tappin’ with their traditional New Orleans sound.

This album made me immediately imagine walking through a park or outdoor festival or NYC subway station and stumbling upon them performing live. I can only assume they are best experienced live, so I was happy to see while writing this that they just put out a live album a couple of weeks ago (Live @ D.B.A.)! So, if you enjoy Some Kind-a-Shake, perhaps next check that one out.

Happy listening!

*The survey choices that led to this spotlight were “It’s the terror of knowing what this world’s about”, “Watching some good friends screaming, ‘Let me out’”, “Pray tomorrow gets me higher”, and “Pressure on people, people on streets”. There was a 3-way tie between the first, second, and last phrases, so each one has gotten a spotlight. For the second phrase, the survey result was translated as picking the second album in The List with one of the phrase’s words in the title, the matching word here being “some”.
