THE ROVERS - Wasn't That A Party b/w Matchstalk Men And Matchstalk Cats And Dogs





Side one is almost The Bellamy Brothers ,while the flip is a trad Irish jig. These guys formed in Canada in 1963,and are still touring in some form today! A/k/a The Irish Rovers ,they started out by playing "Whiskey Is The Devil" ,to a school room of 5 year olds. They've had several TV series!They are also the band playing the music on the original ,"Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer"! This 7" is from 1981 ,"Party" was written by a friend of theirs,Tom Paxton ,who witnessed their notorious, rowdy ,post-show parties.

SCOTT WILLIAMS


I think this is his first recording,one of the earliest things done in Noise New York studios,1985.If this is the same Scott who's still playing,he now does everything from opera,to medieval music,to new age.Side a is kinda new wavey,while side b is almost an Irish drinking song!Also of note , Naux ,produced,arranged,plays bass,some guitar and keys,on this here slab. On Double Bill Records.
