Jim White Picks His Fave Ed Kuepper Tracks Ahead Of Duo’s Tour Together
Iconic Brisbane artist Ed Kuepper, co-founder of and guitarist of influential Aussie outfit The Saints, is this year celebrating 45 years as a recording artist in 2021 by hitting the road on a massive headline tour with Dirty Three drummer Jim White. Ahead of the tour commencing this week, we had White name his favourite Kuepper tracks, covering The Saints, Laughing Clowns and solo material.
I learnt to play the drums playing with the albums (I'm) Stranded and Prehistoric Sounds on the lounge room floor and furniture. It would be hard to exaggerate how exciting and impactful the first album was to me at that time, and how mysterious and evocative Prehistoric Sounds was and is.
From the (I'm Stranded) album:
(I’m) Stranded
Still single of the week.
