The story behind this short album can be heard on a few of the live Brian Lopez bootlegs floating around. This particular version includes an extra track at the end, so, if you own the original, now you have an excuse to buy a second copy!

It was five years after this album was released that I met Dan Blakeslee in Harvard Square. A few months later I managed to track him down playing deep within the T and bought every album he had on offer. As the doors closed and we sped away, I lamented that the long sold-out Lincoln Street Roughs album was not amongst my new haul.

Years have gone by and I moved far enough away that scouring used record shops for it was no longer an option. Happy to finally have a copy to listen to. Thanks Dan!

Brian Lopez is so stupidly gifted that I don't even know what to say. Why is he not world famous? Sometimes the world just doesn't make sense.

K. & his quartet played San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts back in 2015 and it was remarkable.

Since, most likely, you didn't get to go, buy this album from the same tour!

While I have been a fan of Chicha Libre for a while now, I have only recently found Chicha Dust.

Fronted by the magnificent Brian Lopez, Chicha Dust is frenetic. Tucson should consider itself extremely lucky to be the home of Lopez, Howe Gelb, Calexico, & more.

This album is Live but a full length studio record is rumored to be on its way. Buy this and Brian Lopez's entire catalog. You won't regret it.

Joyful Noise recently announced a new album from these two.. Excited to hear the new work and decided to buy the old work.

Keep it up!

Anything by Dan Blakeslee, Dr. Gasp's mysterious alter ego, is worth collecting, especially the halloween themed limited editions.

Blakeslee's original cover-artwork deserves a frame & prime wall space.

We're still listening to the album on repeat - more will be written once the Vampire Fish for Two is fully digested.

This is an album by some of the most amazing and altruistic people/musicians in New England benefiting the family of an eight-year-old killed in the Boston Marathon bombing.

Thank you, to the artists featured on this collection, as well as the group behind its production, for your charitable work.

You have bolstered a community reeling during a moment of desolation & simultaneously redefined a populace known for its solitary toughness to one typified by compassion, friendship, & love.

See "Fan Chose Covers 2".

This striking album is beautiful and raw.

Exactly like its partner release, Fan Chosen Covers 1, in format, the band emotionally tackles track after track of pop/metal/rock/folk songs transforming them into wonderful works of art.

I highly recommend listening to the Clem Snide discography next time you want a pop song stuck in your head...

These versions will impress you at a minimum & will most likely come to supplant the originals after an enjoyable listen or two.

The familiarity of Ian Fitzgerald's sound is astounding.

If you love pure singer/songwriter, sitting around the hearth, folk perfection, you'll love these albums.

Buy them!
