Fire Records Baby Im Bored [VINYL]

2LP plus 24 page book + DL Card. Emerging after The Lemonheads disbanded Evan Dando returned to music first with a solo tour and Live At The Brattle Theatre then came his debut solo album Baby I m Bored . During his hiatus he sobered up, got married and went straight. Taking four years to produce, his live shows funded the album s recording sessions. Mature and autobiographical, Baby I m Bored is a stellar record that stripped Dando of his grunge label. At the time of recording, he was without the band which saw him lean more towards an achingly melodic alt-country rock sound. Self-deprecating, these are songs of decline and coming back from that. The record includes Hard Drive and All My Life two tracks penned by Ben Lee and features contributions from producer/composer Jon Brion, producer Bryce Goggin, Tom Morgan, Giant Sand s Howe Gelb, Calexico's John Convertino and Joey Burns, ex-Spacehog frontman Royston Langdon, Come's Chris Brokaw and Arthur Johnson. This limited edition special Record Store Day 2LP bookback reissue includes a disc of unheard unreleased tracks, singles, b-sides and rarities. Dando has a flair for bruised melancholy that stands comparison with Gram Parsons and Alex Chilton. Q Magazine / A beautiful album of tender reflections on life, love and drug-induced folly set in soulful, country-tinged guitar pop.
