TIM EASTON (solo)
- November 17, 2003 -
Prime Club, Cologne, Germany
** Audience DAT-master, MWM 0140 **
>> supporting JOHN HIATT - ex-Haynes Boys, ex-Burn Barrel - check: "Easton Stagger Phillips" -
EXCELLENT SOUND & UNTRADED SO FAR << with samples

Preliminary remark:

As far as I know NONE of this recording was ever used commercially.

This recording here comes directly from the "Men With Microphones" archive.
"MWM" started in the 70ies in South Germany with analog recording equipment,
and at least two of them are still recording sometimes (since the 90ies on DAT,
and, lazy as we are, since lately with small, handheld WAV-recorders on SD-cards).
The "MWM" startet as a project of friends sharing their hobbies together. But by
reason of jobs, partners and other interests the circle of all involved shrinked.

Tim Easton is a Joshua Tree based American guitarist and singer-songwriter playing rock and roll music, signed with New West Records.

HMMM...THAT'S WAY TOO SHORT...TRY THIS:

Tim Easton plays and sings like an old man. For the record, that’s meant as praise, not a taunt. He often sounds as if he’s channeling any number of discovered-late bluesmen, as well as Doc Watson and everybody’s favorite great-uncle Bob Dylan (especially right after Uncle Bob went electric in his younger days). His voice has always carried a well-seasoned quality – a little catch, maybe a little healthy despair tucked into one corner. Even when he was a Haynes Boy, he came off like a Haynes Middle-Aged Guy. Again, that’s a compliment. And Easton’s a wanderer, putting on more miles than most folks of his non-advanced years.

INTERESTING...IS THERE SOME MORE INFO ?

Ohio-bred Tim Easton was the frontman for alt-country outfit the Haynes Boys, which mutated into Burn Barrel right around the time Easton's solo career began to blossom. Easton's second outing under his own name, THE TRUTH ABOUT US, retains ties to the singer-songwriter's past (two standout tunes were written by Burn Barrel frontman J.P. Olsen and country-rock touches abound), but it's also a significant step forward. Tape loops and snakey guitar effects adorn "Downtown Lights," and Olsen's "Bad Florida" is backed by semi-psychedelic sheets of sound. The more modern touches blend well with the fingerpicked acoustic guitars and gritty vocals, partly due to the fact that Easton is assisted by members of alt-country modernists Wilco. In the end, though, the focus is on Easton's elliptical, poetic lyrics, and laconic, Townes Van Zandt-like vocals, and the songs make it clear that he's got a lot more going on than many contemporary roots-rockers.

AS USUAL, BEAUTIFUL WORDS...

BUT TOO LITTLE TO HONOR TIM EASTON, HIS LYRICS & HIS MUSIC...

(and also too little for an ordinary lonetaper torrent - hehehe...)

Tim Easton was born in Lewiston, New York and grew up in Akron, Ohio where his father worked for Goodyear. Tim was in grade school when that company relocated his family to Tokyo for three years, and it was in Japan that he first heard the Beatles (still his favorite band). His guitar-playing older brothers hipped Tim to albums by acoustic guitar wizards Doc Watson and Mississippi John Hurt plus contemporary singer/songwriters like John Prine. Other musical favorites and influences include Joni Mitchell, Elvis Costello and Lucinda Williams. Tim says, "I enjoy and appreciate a great pop record as much as I do, say, the Louvin Brothers."

Tim's childhood sojourn in Japan had prepared him for the pleasures and uncertainties of foreign travel. In the early Nineties, he left the Midwest to live and work in both London and Paris. He hitchhiked around Ireland and mainland Europe and made his first recordings in Prague. Easton's years of busking honed both his finger picking and flat picking guitar skills as well as his warm, conversational singing style.

Upon his return to the States, Tim joined a rock and roll band called The Haynes Boys and in 1997 the group released the rousing, rough-edged album Guardian Angel (Slab Recordings). It was also at this time that Tim and the band began to cover and sometimes back-up the songwriter J.P. Olsen, a fellow Ohioan whose songs Tim still performs and records today. In 1998, Tim recorded his first solo album, Special 20, in Nashville and released it on his own Heathen Records (New West will re-release this album for retail sale in 2003). Tim moved to Los Angeles in the fall of 1999 and signed a publishing deal with EMI where Special 20 had sparked interest. Joining Tim in his westward move was Columbus pal Chris Burney (The Sun), a frequent Easton stage accompanist (who plays upright bass on two tracks from Break Your Mother’s Heart-"Hanging Tree" and "True Ways").

Tim began appearing regularly at such LA clubs as Largo and McCabe's and was soon signed to a deal with New West Records. His first album for the label was The Truth About Us and it was something of an Americana super-session. Produced by Joe Chiccarelli, it featured backing by members of Wilco and guest appearances by Victoria Williams and former Jayhawk Mark Olson. The album was issued in January 2001 and Tim toured for the next 18 months, playing shows of his own and opening for John Hiatt, Mark Eitzel, Cowboy Junkies, The Flatlanders and The Jayhawks among others. The statistics are impressive: 280 gigs covering some 70,000 miles. The Truth About Us garnered widespread critical acclaim: The Chicago Sun-Times hailed it as "simply stunning," while The St. Paul Pioneer Press called it "the first great rock record of 2001…a portrait of America that feels like the lost link between X's Los Angeles and Springsteen's Nebraska."

Break Your Mother’s Heart is firm testimony that Tim Easton is a unique and identifiable song stylist, an assured and compelling performer whether playing solo acoustic or with a full band. This time out, Tim has made a career record that ought to delight, provoke and engage all who listen.

AND ANOTHER ONE:

The Ohio-bred singer-songwriter, who brings his Freeland Barons Band to Southgate House tonight, is a traveling troubadour with two very different bases of operation. He lives in Joshua Tree, the Southern California desert village raised to an almost mythical level as the place where music legend Gram Parsons died. It also shares a name with one of U2's most popular albums. Easton has another place in northern Alaska near Fairbanks. "I didn't move here (Joshua Tree) because a guy overdosed on drugs," Easton says, laughing. "There are a lot of musicians and artists who live here." Easton took the first steps toward California and Alaska at the bars and cafés around the Ohio
State University campus in Columbus in the mid-1990s. He released his first solo album, "Special 20," in 1998, and his first major label record, "The Truth About Us," on New West Records in 2001. "I simply wanted to get back to what it was like when I grew up," Easton says of "Porcupine," which also features the guitar firepower of Kenny Vaughn, known to obsessive music fans as the backbone
of Marty Stuart's Fabulous Superlatives and a key player in Lucinda Williams' "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" touring band. 
"Lucinda is a friend and mentor," Easton says. "She's been very generous to me over the years. "The first time I saw Kenny was on the 'Car Wheels' tour. He's a hired gun." He says that matter of factly. Easton has been around long enough to understand the music business. He knows he's lucky to be making records, but he makes a living by playing live shows. That's what took him to Alaska, although he's had an affinity for the state for a long time.
"My dad's company moved him to Japan, and we flew over Alaska, so I always thought about it," he says. "Then I wore a vintage Alaska T-shirt on my first record, and a guy contacted my manager to see if I would come up and play.
"The NPR (National Public Radio) stations play my music, and people up there have supported me. Although you don't sell many records in Alaska." Commerce isn't everything. Easton put music on hold in 2004 when he moved back to Ohio to work on voter registration. When he settled in Joshua Tree, he started a community newsletter, the Joshua Tree Republic. "It's my contribution to the new administration's request to get involved," Easton says. 
For now, however, he will be busy with the Freeland Barons Band through November. He looks forward to his visit here. "I'm not one of those Columbus people who have a problem with Cincinnati," Easton says. "The river is wide, you have hills and things. It's nice. "I do miss the green, living in the desert, but I travel enough to see it."

Sounds like a man who has learned to enjoy the journey.

PLEASE CHECK ALSO THIS FINE TRIO:

Part time troubadours will come and go. For Tim Easton (Joshua Tree, California), Leeroy Stagger (Victoria, Canada) and The Whipsaws' mastermind Evan Phillips (Anchorage, Alaska), traveling the world and singing songs isn't just a diversion. It's a way of life. It is how they survive in this world, and it is what caused them to cross each others paths.

The three singer/songwriters first came together at Easton's Joshua Tree desert home in 2007. They had mutual respect for each others work but the thought of forming a band was the last thing on their minds. Fast forward to January 2008 where Easton and Stagger are the support acts for Phillips' band The Whipsaws on their Alaskan CD release tour and the three start to collaborate. With the assistance of Anchorage resident and recording engineer Greg Benolkin, the three musicians found themselves laying down tracks during a winter storm in a cabin in Girdwood, Alaska. The snow was falling and the tape was rolling and what came out of that three day session was a lifelong friendship plus a
beautiful record of songs the three had been stockpiling. The majority of One For The Ditch was recorded at that session, and on the third evening, their first performance as EASTON STAGGER PHILLIPS took place at Vagabond Blues in Palmer, Alaska.

For our friends in Germany (and all those who'd like to improve their German...):

Der Singer/Songwriter Tim Easton schrieb gehaltvolle Songs, die sich zwischen Folk, Rock und Country bewegten und ihn somit zu einem Americana-Troubadour der Extraklasse machten. Häufige Vergleiche mit Bob Dylan wurden immer wieder gezogen. Tim Easton wurde am 25.04.1966 in Lewiston/New York, USA, geboren und wuchs in Akron, Ohio, auf. Sein Vater arbeitete dort für die Firma Goodyear, die ihn später nach Tokio versetzte, als Tim Easton die Grundschule besuchte. In Japan machte Easton erstmals mit der Musik seiner Lieblingsgruppe The Beatles Bekanntschaft, und durch seine Gitarre spielenden Brüder lernte er die Musik von Doc Watson und Mississippi John Hurt kennen. Andere musikalische Einflüsse waren z.B. die Rolling Stones, Alan Parsons Project, Elvis Costello, John Prine und Lucinda Williams. Mit dem Gitarrespiel begann er im Alter von 12 Jahren. Während der College-Zeit, er studierte in den 80er Jahren Poesie an der "Ohio State University", gründete Easton seine erste Band The Kosher Spears. Die Folk-Skiffle-Gruppe bestand aus dem Washtubbass-Spieler Derek DiCenzo, dem Waschbrett-Spieler Joe C. und Tim Easton an der Akustik-Gitarre.

About this concert:

By the way I don't want to forget Tim Easton. He was opening the show and I had
seen him for the first time at the Birchmere in 2001, when he opened for John
Hiatt as well. He's a great singer/songwriter, his three CDs are still available
and there's a link to his website on my links section. I can only recommend his
music to you all! He's really great!

Tim Easton, als sogenannter "special guest", beeindruckte während der ihm zugestandenen halben Stunde mit filigraner Saitenarbeit auf der Akustischen und stimmigen Songs, die sich in ihrer Roots/- countrifiziertem Heimat gut auskannten. Von seinem aktuellen Album ("Break Your Mother's Heart") spielte er zwar nur zwei Titel, aber dennoch entwickelte sich seine Performance zu einer kurzweiligen und vom Publikum erstaunlich gut honorierten Angelegenheit.

Pünktlich um 21:00 Uhr, der Club war total voll, begann die Show mit dem "Special Guest" Tim Easton. Klasse Mann! Eine unscheinbare kleine Person, aber ein begnadeter Gitarrenspieler und großartiger Sänger und ebenso großartiger Songwriter. Mit Akustikgitarre und Mundharmonika bot Tim eine kleine Auswahl von seinen drei CDs als kurzen Überblick über sein bisheriges Schaffen. Weitestgehend ruhiges Material, aber alles in sich super Songs, die ausgesprochen gut beim Publikum ankamen. Von diesem Tim Easton ist sicher noch einiges zu erwarten.

VERY SPECIAL THANKS to Frizze and all involved.

Big thanks to my wife, Mrs. Leo, for supporting

No animals were harmed in the making of this
recording or during the mastering and transfer.

My dear buddy Ken TheCommish usually writes (and hey, he's damn right):
If you decide to download this show, won't you please consider posting a comment
on the show's board? It only takes a moment, and believe me, it takes A LOT longer to prepare/upload a show for others to enjoy than it does to download and run...

You know, our friend Dave T says: "There's always more to come..."
And i'll promise you to keep MY tapes coming...
