Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3-Ole Tarantula

This 2006 album is the first with his new band comprised of Peter Buck,Bill Rieflin,and Scott McCaughey. Produced by Kurt Bloch and recorded in Seattle, former Soft Boys Kimberley Rew and Morris Windsor also helping out. It’s a pretty good record with side one more rocking,side two more acoustic sounding. My favorite is the last song “N.Y. Doll” a tribute to Arthur”Killer” Kane who had died in 2004. Bloch,Rieflin,McCaughey,and Buck would later be in the band Filthy Friends in 2015.
