Garrison Starr just released From Takeoff to Landing, a second full-length LP to accompany her three EPs. This is not only cool because Garrison Starr rocks my world, or because i wore her t-shirt today and then magically found a press copy of her record for sale, but because now you can witness the incredible transformation of one of my favourite songs. For a taste, take a listen to the solo Five Minutes from her EP and then take a listen to the band version at Amazon or on her label’s site. To me it sounds as though the band version uses the same two-track guitar/vocal recording from the solo version — very cool, plus it’s a neat tag onto the “Who would Peter sound like if he had a band” comment chain from last week. Why don’t you listen to a trio or two and then register your opinion?
