Yes it's a genuine part of the movie the very start in fact. Though it's much quieter than my mix. I like it a lot that mix really improves those tracks.

Though I haven't found any evidence to back this up I also think that it's Jennifer Rubin who plays Lauren in the movie that sings on Louisiana Turnpike.Kory wrote: ↑18 Nov 2022, 5:11pmI was interested to see that Keanu plays on that track, I didn't know that before.

A lady named Lisa Sligh Raven sings on “Louisiana Turnpike”. Apparently she worked as a receptionist at the Baby O’ Recorders studio.Marky Dread wrote: ↑18 Nov 2022, 7:28pmThough I haven't found any evidence to back this up I also think that it's Jennifer Rubin who plays Lauren in the movie that sings on Louisiana Turnpike.Kory wrote: ↑18 Nov 2022, 5:11pmI was interested to see that Keanu plays on that track, I didn't know that before.

I need to watch the movie again, it's been a while. Your version of the soundtrack is an achievement! Can't thank you enough.Marky Dread wrote: ↑18 Nov 2022, 7:28pmThough I haven't found any evidence to back this up I also think that it's Jennifer Rubin who plays Lauren in the movie that sings on Louisiana Turnpike.Kory wrote: ↑18 Nov 2022, 5:11pmI was interested to see that Keanu plays on that track, I didn't know that before.

Re: Without People You're Nothing
Yes, I was wondering the same about that intro. I'm listening to the Permanent Record Soundtrack disc three and it takes me back. First of all, it's never sounded better, so thanks for that, Marky. This was an album that was relatively easy to come by in the cassette bins back in the analog days, but it was one I revisited maybe more than any other from among Joe's solo work, even after the Mescaleros. For some reason it was easier to love back then than Earthquake Weather, though now that Marky worked such a miracle with EW I'd say they're about on equal footing to me.Marky Dread wrote: ↑18 Nov 2022, 7:26pmYes it's a genuine part of the movie the very start in fact.

First, it’s not a bad theory. Those who have seen the film would think so too.Marky Dread wrote: ↑18 Nov 2022, 11:01pmOh excellent that puts my bad theory to bed at least.

Second, I sourced the info from this post on the Strummservations thread.

As long as Bono stays the fuck away from it I think it'd be great.Low Down Low wrote: ↑18 Nov 2022, 3:29pmI love the Wilco and Billy Bragg stuff so I'd be well ok with any comparable Joe project. And Billy would be as solid a choice as any, I reckon.msza2 wrote: ↑18 Nov 2022, 10:59amYeah, you never know what could've transpired but I really don't think there are many shows from the latter days that there isn't a known setlist for. More likely the guys had mentioned they wrote these tunes on the road or perhaps jammed them in soundcheck or something.Low Down Low wrote: ↑17 Nov 2022, 5:37pmSounds about right. Really don't know what to make of the road tested remark. Wouldn't rule out it being a mistake or misunderstanding on behalf of the journo.msza2 wrote: ↑17 Nov 2022, 3:59pmI'm tempted to guess the same.Low Down Low wrote: ↑17 Nov 2022, 3:43pm
I'm often not the best judge of these, but the second untitled track does sound a bit reggaeish to my ears anyway so I'd bet that might well be Bases are Loaded.
And this is really just a wild guess but the title "Steady America" sounds to me like a sunny day cruisin' tune, or least a tune with wide scope/a broad survey type of thing, and the first instrumental has that feel to me.
Given these songs have titles, there must be lyrics even if in a nascent form. I wonder if Luce would ever consider letting someone else have a crack at them like the Woody Guthrie estate has done. I know that approach isn't everyone's cup of tea but I lean towards breathing life into the material.
Rotating guest singers would be best. Shane McGowan and Billy Bragg, probably Tim Armstrong too.
