Jonboy Langford and the Pine Valley Cosmonauts: Misery Loves Company

      Here's the out of print (and pretty darn rare) 1994 Jonboy Langford and the Pine Valley Cosmonauts Misery Loves Company cd I promised last week.  As I may have written previously, I know some folks are a little skeptical of tribute albums, but Jonboy definitely has a way with The Man in Black's songs (I do think one artist paying homage to another artist generally work better than a bunch of artists all covering one artist).  Among Jonboy's releases that are in print, I'd recommend are his collaborations with Sally Timms and the Sadies, his solo All the Fame of Lofty Deeds release, and, of course, his too numerous to list releases with The Mekons.

I love this CD. I've been wanting to play it for some time, but I simply can't find it right now, and to my excitement, you post it.
Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your site.

David,
I would like to have seen him choose a few more less well known Cash songs, but I still think Jonboy brings something new to the Cash classics.

Hi ish

Happy New Year & more comments on the re up of your home made Jon Langford compilation. A nice sampler indeed, ta
Both of them are very much appreciated as a Johnny Cash 's die hard fan (I got 99% of his recording) & a Jon Langford completist

You are right 2020 was a very weird year So I hope that the brand new one will be the first step to be back to a normal life

I will contact you very soon concerning Jon Langford & other projects Feel me to drop me a line on PM if you got some spare time

In the meanwhile many thx for your very nice gesture & stay in touch I got plenty of ideas to swap with you like last year

Many many thx You are The Man (in Black) !!!!

Phillippe,

Happy New Year to you as well. Being a Jon Langford completist isn't easy, though even he didn't release nearly as many albums as Cash.

And yes, I'd love to hear your ideas for posts!

best,
Ish (sometimes a man clad in Black)
