Chicago's Own-Red Red Meat



Happy Birthday to Seattle's Sub Pop Records who turn 20 this year. One Chicago band on the label is Red Red Meat, whose 1994 record Jimmywine Majestic was all the indie hipster rage right when I moved to Chicago. To my ears, The band was finding its direction on this album, still torn between skronked out Stones rockers and the sort of low key damaged blues that RRM singer and songwriter Tim Rutilli would perfect on in years to come as Califone. Today's track is of the latter variety, and my favorite Red Red Meat song.
