The Jordan Lake Sessions: Volumes 3 and 4

by the Mountain Goats

supported by

kaelfawkes There are other songs I like more, but the stop/start about 3 minutes into In Memory of Satan reminds me so strongly of hanging out with friends from 20 years ago while they rehearsed for a show; the waves of nostalgia are something else, powerful enough to knock me down. I hope those dudes are alive out there somewhere. Favorite track: In Memory of Satan (The Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 3).

Marielle Madden Purely obsessed with the energy of these shows. I would sacrifice a limb for a vinyl, not gonna lie. missing that energy today..... 😔 Favorite track: Exegetic Chains (The Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 4).

zekemusicfan This song made me love the Mountain Goats, this live version makes me surrender myself eternally to their cause Favorite track: Sax Rohmer #1 (The Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 3).

about

the Mountain Goats Durham, North Carolina

John Darnielle has written almost 600 songs now, and some of them are very sad, dealing with hard drugs and tragic ends, hurting yourself and others, sicknesses of both body and brain, off-brand alcohols. They are told in beautiful, unnerving, specific detail because he is a very good writer, and also some of them are just true stories about his own life.
—John Hodgman, 2012 ... more
