I heard the unreleased album.

Rail released a couple singles with the new lineup and even recorded an album that was supposed to be released by Ringing Ear Records. But the label folded and the record was not released.<br /><br />Fun to see this on willfully obscure.

All I ever had of this album was a bad cassette transfer my friend made for me and that was lost years and years ago.

They played at our school a few times in the early to mid 90's and they were always great - super tight and high energy, and without a doubt the nicest bunch of dudes ever. They did call it quits sometime in the late 90's. Jamie formed a band in NYC a few years later called Swain that was somewhat heavier and a bit more discordant; I can remember them reminding me of Rodan, but that may not be accurate. Jamie and I remain good friends to this day.Benjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954345482043771470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-28293094911284542602014-09-04T22:00:02.908-07:002014-09-04T22:00:02.908-07:00Love the story, but I feel I must defend Emo Phill...Love the story, but I feel I must defend Emo Phillips as "amazingly eccentric in all regards" in lieu of "mildly obnoxious." He also has a great sense of humor for its nascent popularity immediately following his dive into semi-obscurity.<br /><br />And Embrace still sound like a bad Magazine ripoff to me, MacKaye or no MacKaye.<br /><br />Somehow I've already had the Rolling Little Joe 7" downloaded - even prior to reading this - which is bizarre enough that we should all be worried.<br /><br />Cheers!Duluozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14220493101107263148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-31360679477925434752014-09-04T20:49:43.393-07:002014-09-04T20:49:43.393-07:00Thanks Bruce.

I'm getting ready to finally write to someone who among other things was vital to my wife's exposure to some great music, and that in turn helped seal the deal on our relationship (although I know I would have loved her even if her LP collection had ended with that Dan Fogelberg LP!)Bruce K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04854123794402624239noreply@blogger.com
