Dirty Three - Horse Stories | 90s Album Review

Dig Me Out: 90s Rock - A podcast by Dig Me Out - Tuesdays

Leaving behind traditional rock 'n roll structures for more experimental avenues is nothing new for post-rock bands stretching back to The Velvet Underground drones or Brian Eno's ambient albums. It's stretches boundaries into free jazz, krautrock, math rock, and more often with a mechanical feel. That is quite the opposite of what the Dirty Three accomplish on their 1996 album Horse Stories, filled with the improvisations of Warren Ellis on violin, Mick Turners on guitars and bass, and Jim White on drum. The three-piece creates a wide cinematic scope, using space and slow building dynamics to evoke European folk ballads, traditional blues, classical music and much more.   Songs In This Episode Intro -Sue's Last Ride 19:39 - At The Bar 28:03 - Warren's Lament Outro - Red   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.
