Dave Alvin - Some of Dave Alvin's 4/7s

Dave Alvin - Some of Dave Alvin's 4/7s

There are a lot of songs called "The Fourth of July" in the United States, nor created equal. My favorite is Dave Alvin's from 1986.

There is a part of this song that evokes a certain always of feeling in me, and so maybe that’s why I like the idea of Dave always singing it, alright

These recordings of The Fourth of July were culled from the Internet Archive using the search term "Dave Alvin"

Because the guitars were very low in the soundboard mix and were mainly taken from the amps on stage I used more audience in my mix than I usually do. Moreover I liked the audience recording better than the soundboard recording. However mixed together they make a very nice recording.

Dave and Phil Alvin, late of the band the Blasters and longtime mainstays of an American roots-rock scene that absorbs elements of rock, folk, country, and blues, have always had a contentious relationship. Dave’s departure from the band, in the mid-eighties, ushered in a period in which the two brothers kept their distance from each other; Dave pursued a solo career while Phil occasionally reformed the Blasters. Last year, the brothers reunited to record material for “Ghost Brothers of Darkland County,” a musical project masterminded by Stephen King, John Mellencamp, and T-Bone Burnett. And now they have extended the revived partnership with an entire album, “Common Ground: Dave Alvin + Phil Alvin Play and Sing the Songs of Big Bill Broonzy”.
