Jamie Lidell Adds Cleveland Grog Shop Date...

Funky and full of soul, or soulful and full of funk . . . either way, Jamie Lidell will be at The Grog Shop in Cleveland on September 10th.

Review of his latest album, Compass:
“a neo-psychedelic ode, planting romantic avowals amid arid textures.”
- New York Times

"elegantly warped love songs...(a) blend of creamy come-ons and fuzzy beats"
- Rolling Stone

"A beautifully mixed bag...impassioned and lushly arranged" - Esquire

"It's quite a ride' - Uncut 4/5

“Jamie Lidell has shifted boundaries, moved from style to style. On his new album 'Compass' the producer comes closer than ever to defining his multi-faceted sound, to pinning his ideas down onto one disc.” - Clash

'Lidell's previous albums have tried to reconcile his two loves; electronica and classic soul. On Compass, the globe wandering Englishman might have squared the circle'
- Uncut

'A welcome return' - The Guardian

“We’re honoured to hear something as soulful, electically energised, energetic and accessible as this.” 10/10
- iDJ

From Beck.com
We're 5 months into the Record Club project now, and it's time for our third installment.

This one took place last June when Wilco was in town for the release of their new eponymous album. They came by after a long day filming a TV appearance and still managed to put down 8 songs with us. Jamie Liddell was in the studio with me working on his new record. Leslie Feist happened to be in town editing her documentary and heard we were all getting together. Recording took place at Sunset Sound Studios in the room where the Stones did a lot of Exile On Main Street (and looking at the records on the walls it appeared that the Doobie Brothers recorded most of their output there too). Sitting in on drums, we had James Gadson, who's played on most of the Bill Withers records and on songs like 'Express Yourself' and 'I Will Survive.' Jeff Tweedy's son Spencer played played additional drums. Also, Brian Lebarton, from the last two Record Club sessions is back.

The record chosen this time was Skip Spence's 'Oar.' Running sequentially, the first song up is "Little Hands". Our friend Danny Kalb engineered.

For those of you who are wondering what the deal is with this Record Club thing, please read on below.
