"Ten Singles" by Kurt Hagardorn
Posted by Hal Bogerd at July 23, 2007 10:17 PMKurt dishes up ten tracks (okay Kurt, Ten Singles) of enjoyable country-flavored pop or maybe it is pop-flavored country. Fans of the similarly inspired Big Star, Golden Smog and the Jayhawks will, would, could, should dig this disc. Kurt varies the style on several tracks including the garage-band rock of "Last Time Rewind" which wouldn't be out of place on "Nuggets" and "Rock Paper Scissors" adds a nice dose of rock guitar and drums. Instant credibility factor: two tracks produced by Chris Stamey.
I first saw Kurt playing a mean telecaster at a few Thad Cockrell shows a few years ago. Damn those were some good shows!
