Title: AJR Post by: jeffh on August 04, 2017, 11:21:16 AM Several months ago I "discovered " a new group, AJR. I'm old, 69, I rarely discover new groups. The first time I heard them was when they opened for Ingrid Michaelson, in Milwaukee. I was probably the oldest person there. :) Anyway I was blown away by AJR. Anyone here follow them? I just got two of their cds. Their new one " The Click" has a song, " Call My Dad" which has great Beach Boy type harmonies. They even include a bit of Sloop John in the song. Find it and give it a try !

Title: Re: AJR Post by: JK on August 06, 2017, 02:48:34 AM I see Wilsonart1 has posted about them in the main BB section (probably because of "Call My Dad").
I'm in the middle of the album right now and I haven't heard a bad track yet! Some of them are simply mind-boggling (e.g., "No Grass Today"). "Three-Thirty" must be pretty well unique in being about its own length, lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gY0k0alnZ0 Of course there's John Cage's 4'33" but that's not quite the same. ;D Title: Re: AJR Post by: wilsonart1 on August 06, 2017, 05:51:14 AM Good stuff! Like I said in my post , when I wrote them I asked, told them! Never add a cousin to the group. These guys are just flat out a great listen.
