  Upcoming Releases

So....

The good doctor said elsewhere on this board that he would be trying this year to record two solo records and get the 7's in the studio. With that in mind, I'm curious what they might be like, and what you'd like to see, with the proviso that Mike can record anything he wants, and that it will be good. I'm not trying to tell him what to record here, just curious about what you all think, and even trying to get Mike to give a little info as well.

As for me, I'd love to see some of the covers he played at solo shows, especially "Pale Blue Eyes", on one of the discs.

I really enjoyed "Holy Ghost Building" and would love a sequel or some original material in that same vein. I also love EP, and a whole album of that power trio/prog/pop stuff would be excellent.

Does anyone else have any thoughts?

I know exactly what you mean, and I agree.

I think the 77s should do a complete cover of Iron Maidens "The Number of the Beast"

Well, if it's going to be classic country, you'd have to toss in Shotgun Angel. Every time I hear that song, I think the Dogs would do it justice.

  The Dogs did it!

After the 77s version, a Dogs version is superfluous. The Dogs couldn't have done it any better. It would have been different, but not better. I liked our harmonies, and even Scott Reams sang a prominent part, which was very rare in those days.

Doc Love says check it out ~~

late

Which, for a hodgepodge collection, holds up surprisingly well as its own album. It helps that it starts out with "EP". Can I just say once more how much "EP" is brilliant, wonderful and kick a**? Yes. Yes, I can.

I agree on both counts. "EP" is great. I often put "Late" on when I want a mix of the different sounds of the Sevens. Live, Instrumental, Blues, Pop, Rock, Country... It's got it all!

In fact, I'm headed to the player now to put it on!

Ooooooo I would love a 77's meets Social Distortion meet Rancid meets 77's album for sure. A rocka/psychobilly album would be AWESOME!!!!!!

Stay away from the country please! For the love of God PLEASE!

This would seem to pull a lot of what they've done together.

"Late?" I *might* have a copy sitting here actually... I just finished moving our entire storage area from one room to another and I'm almost positive that I saw one in the mix.. if you want it, I'll check when I get home.

I say the 7's can pick up where ep or direct let off...

Keep the train a rollin'

Both of those ep's remain in a regular rotation in the soundtrack that is my life...

----------------
as to Mr. Roe (aka the good love doctor) I would as so many have said, love syp part deux...

may '09 be a creative, fruitful and prosperous year for the sevens....

peace,
