THE DREAM SYNDICATE - Out of the grey (1986)

 

Steve Wynn is the Dream Syndicate Leader, still  in activity (both with the dream syndicate and with a solo career). Out of the grey is considered the third work of the group that signed the "Paisley Underground" scene of Los Angeles in the middle of the '80.

Some differences from "The Days of Wine and Roses" and " Medicine Show" but the unmistakable sound is there.

DREAM SYNDICATE - The Days of Wine And Roses (1982)

The Dream Syndicate (1982) "The Days of Wine and Roses" is probably the manifest of the so called "Paisley Underground" movement  or California Sound of the '80. It was a mix of Rock_psychedelic_Folk_Blues   sonorities and The Dream syndicate   (Steve Winn, Karl Precoda and Kendra Smith) with TRUE WEST were the top players.
I post this today because in October there is a life show of The Dream Syndicate here in Italy (I think is a reunion but I am not so informed about the actual composition of the band.
I have not yet decided if I will go or if it is better to listen to the original version of 1982 (I have the vinyl version of the front picture here). In the link there is a reissue version with more tracks.

DREAM SYNDICATE - Medicine Show 1984

The Dream Syndicate second work " Medicine Show " is dated  1984
The band was the most famous of the "Paisley Underground " movement. Steve Wynn after the Dream Syndicate disbanded in 1989,  continued with a long solo career and many collaborations.

I am waiting to see the Dream Syndicate reunion (a tour was done in 2012) with a new tour  planned this year with also an italian date. May 29th at Bloom at Mezzago (not far from Milan).
