Exploring Rusted Root's Eclectic Music

Speaker 1 0:00

I'm not gonna give you a light, I'm gonna show you the light.

Speaker 3 0:10

Alright, thank you for listening to the Greatest, Not Hits. I'm Chris and playing well, a riff from I will call it Peter Gabriel, but this is from Rusted Root American band, from a song called Send Me On my Way, which sampled Peter Gabriel's one of Peter Gabriel's songs. And we're listening to Rusted Root today, the album when I Woke, which is their second album. This is the big song 500 million listens on Spotify. The next one is like Ecstasy, which is like 5 million listens, but this is far and away the big hit on the album. And what we'll be doing today is what we always do, which is listening to all the hits, or all the non-hits, I should say, and then ranking the top three, our favorite. Listening to all the hits or all the non-hits, I should say, and then ranking the top three, our favorite.

Speaker 3 1:09

So for this one, well, it's hit and miss for me. I'll be honest with you. I think it is kind of for Tim as well. But I think what's interesting about this band is that they were formed in Pittsburgh in 1990, and yet they embrace an eclectic musical style. They blend rock, world music, folk elements. Their sound features a mix of acoustic instruments, percussion, a variety of musical influences, including African, there's Latin, there's also Native American music, but this is their breakthrough album. When I Woke Again is the title. It was released in 1994.

Speaker 3 1:50

The song sent me on my way gained really significant exposure through its use in films, commercials, tv shows, and this is a band that's known for their energetic live performances. Apparently, they built a loyal fan base over the years. They're still kicking Personnel, at least from this album they had a number of people here. I'm going to look up on Wikipedia.

Speaker 2 2:21

This is the song sent me on my way.

Speaker 3 2:24

Let's take a look at the album. Here we're talking mike glubicki, um, lead vocals, acoustic guitar, like your guitar. There's liz berlin who does the backing vocals and percussion. A lot of percussionists, a lot of drums on this. Um, yeah, it kind of reminds me of a drum circle kind of thing. I don't know. We both are kind of nah on that whole thing. There's too much going on, people feeding off of each other, but nevertheless they're doing their best with this. There's Patrick Norman who plays bass, some electric guitar backing vocals, john by neck, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, flute, penny whistle there's a lot of that. Um, seems like they borrow from a number of different artists who've had big hits paul simon graceland.

Speaker 3 3:19

This is kind of you know. They borrow from it a little bit. It's you know. Graceland was phenomenal. These guys are good musicians, don't get me wrong. They do what they do really well. I don't know. I'm going to listen to it again. I'll try to keep as open mind as possible when we listen to it. I haven't gotten into the deeper tracks yet. I listened to the first six or seven songs a few times. We're going to go all the way to the end. I think there's like 13 different tracks. There's some other. Jen Wertz is on this album backing vocals and percussion, and Jim DeSperito congas Did Jem be? I don't know what that is Talking drum, myriad hand percussion. I don't know what that is either, but nevertheless I think that they're still around. I think currently right now it's Glubicki and.

Speaker 3 4:14

Patrick Norman and Liz Berlin. I think that kind of makes sense. That's sort of a core of vocals and bass and her percussion contribution. I guess they can have revolving people in the back doing bongos whatever. But nevertheless this is a change of pace for us. It's really kind of Tim's getting into it. I don't know. Let's listen to him for a while. Yeah, it's kind of funny. There's sort of like a little bit of Willy Wonka in there and they're almost to the point where I think this is where this rubs me the wrong there, you know, and they're almost to the point where I think this is where this rubs me the wrong way this album.

Speaker 2 5:09

It's like it's almost too.

Speaker 3 5:12

You can hear it too much. You can hear the influence almost to the point where it's like sort of copying it, like Peter Gabriel, the Leslie Brickus from Willy Wonka pure imagination, it's almost. But you know who am I right, that's just me. Anyway, yeah, we've got a bunch of sound clips. There's a song called Drum Trip that starts off with. There's another song called Ecstasy. So yeah, there's going to be tons of drug references. Of course there's going to be. It's going to get off the rails, we promise I don't know. Tim is excited because he's got a whole. He had an experience earlier today. He's going to share it with us.

Speaker 3 5:56

How's it going, man? Tell me what was on your plate today. What's going on?

Speaker 6 6:01

Well, you know, to get ready, ready for this, I had a double shot of hydrogenated ashwagandha mushroom coffee, a little half glass of, uh, francy coppola peanut noir and, uh, I'm sipping on a little rich and robust roasted dandelion root double bagger. Uh, not backed by the fda, mind you, but neither is this album. You know, chris, that's right. Throw away the recommended steep time of three to five minutes. Oh no, we're going a solid 10 to 15 on this one. Really get the uh, the marination, the rich and robustness really needed to just detox ourselves from the struggles of life. Really dial in here with GNH in this sacred place to you know, extend and be present so.

Speaker 3 6:55

I'm really excited, yeah, Okay well, yeah, Take it easy champ.

Speaker 7 7:00

I mean, maybe sit the next couple plays out.

Speaker 3 7:02

No, no, no no, no, in seriousness, I mean the mushrooms, though that's not. No, no, no, no, no, no, in seriousness, I mean the mushrooms, though that's not.

Speaker 6 7:06

The ashwagandha is helping me not be offended, but yes, but it's not psychotropic or anything.

Speaker 3 7:13

Right, it's just Right, it's just like a supplement, but the yeah, but the Francis Ford Coppola wine, that's.

Speaker 6 7:25

Oh yeah, that was in there A little bit, a little, this A little uppers, a little downers, that's good, it's all right. A little wine with your meal. Lefters and writers.

Speaker 3 7:32

Yeah, no, it sounds lovely.

Speaker 6 7:33

Rich and robust, great, fantastic. Yeah, the drums on this and bass are superb. I mean, I think that's really what propels this forward.

Speaker 3 7:45

I think, um I mean it's higher energy. It seems like they're trying to be positive. It's just sort of like it's trying to be.

Speaker 6 7:51

It's a really uplifting kind of yes, exactly, I'm not sure you know what cracks the code and the mystery behind this band you know the authorities said you know best, leave it.

Speaker 3 8:10

Let's dive right in, let's dive right in, because yeah. Well, I mean, this first song is Drum Trip, so it's like whoa, whoa, hey, whoa, hey. There we go.

Playing in sync, playing together. It's decent.

It's tolerable. So apparently a lot of people think this is about an overdose. But Michael Golbicki thinks it's ambiguous and he lets people infer into the meaning.

Speaker 3 27:36

Yeah, it's very general. The words are not specific, he doesn't feel the need to make it make literal sense yeah, it's something that you internalize, you just take like the general idea applies to you in your specific situation. Right it Right, you're supposed to connect with it in that way.

It's a metaphor for something.

Speaker 6 34:42

Air river Are we seeing a theme here? Horizons, I guess.

Speaker 5 34:50

Yeah, it's a way of life, a hobby, it's a way of looking at that wave and saying, hey, bud, let's party.

This should be happy, but something about it seems kind of manic. Oh, okay.

Speaker 6 35:12

Interesting.

Speaker 3 35:12

It doesn't feel authentic.

Speaker 5 35:14

Back to the earth. I feel it. Back to the earth, I'm hoping. Back to the earth. I'm falling Back to the earth. I'm feeling.

Speaker 6 1:02:25

Okay, let's ride it out, let's see if it does anything.

Speaker 3 1:02:33

Speaker 6 1:02:53

A little call and response maybe going on here. It's very technical, it's technical, it's around and round Going around.

Speaker 3 1:03:21

Speaker 6 1:03:30

Okay, who's going?

Speaker 3 1:03:32

number three what's yours?

Speaker 6 1:03:34

I was just levitating nauseously. But now, okay, I have to choose here. I'm going to go Laugh at the Sun.

Speaker 3 1:03:43

Number three Laugh as the sun. Laugh as the sun. Yes.

Speaker 6 1:03:50

Honorable mention to martyryr and food and creative love. Yeah, I think. Well, that's my number three. I was gonna.

Speaker 3 1:03:59

I'm going food and creative love For my number three. Okay, yeah, cause I liked Her voice and it just took a different direction. It was a completely different Female singer.

Speaker 6 1:04:09

Yeah pace.

Speaker 3 1:04:09

You know. I mean Relative to the rest of the album. Okay, so, it was a standout to me, so that's my number three.

Speaker 6 1:04:16

Yeah, um, I like the uh it's x. Ecstasy is a hit right. Ecstasy and send me on my way how do you think it is? I was gonna say, I've heard ecstTC on the radio.

Speaker 3 1:04:33

I have too.

Speaker 6 1:04:33

That is a hit yeah, let's let's nix that yeah, those two just out of, because that probably would be my number one if it wasn't a hit, but I'm going to go. Number two Cat Turned Blue it's kind of dark and, like you know, it does a little flip out. No, it's good, it's a good song. It is a good song For what they do. Cat Turned Blue.

Speaker 3 1:05:05

Okay, Shout out to my number two is going to be Drum Trip.

Speaker 2 1:05:10

Oh what.

Speaker 6 1:05:13

No way.

Speaker 3 1:05:15

Despite the fact that we've been ragging on drum circles this whole time. I think they did it pretty well and I kind of like it was kind of weird and it had sort of like this ominous kind of a.

Speaker 6 1:05:26

The record label. It was like driving. Yeah, I either. Like Satanic messages in the background yeah, maybe.

Speaker 3 1:05:32

I'm brainwashed. Yeah, they're messing with my head. They're making me think that it's a good song.

Speaker 6 1:05:41

It really is, we're just going to glaze over that Cruel Son is my number one.

Speaker 3 1:05:44

Oh, okay.

Speaker 6 1:05:45

That's just. It's great. I mean it's top of the album, it's on the first side, it's high energy. It's got good r album. It's on the first side, it's high energy. It's got good riffs, good bass line, okay, yeah, I really like the structure of this album in general. I think they did a good job putting it together, the producers and all the world instruments?

Speaker 6 1:06:10

Yeah, it was well done. In that regard, I will say yeah, if you're listening to this band, maybe find some similar bands and put some of their non-hits on a playlist with other non-hits of other sort of world music. To round it out, Put some Ravi Shankar in there something like that.

Speaker 3 1:06:30

Yeah, I was going to do a. What the fuck is he talking about?

Speaker 4 1:06:32

But yeah, I you brought back the rabbit thing and he saved it, so that's good all right. Can I get my number one?

Speaker 3 1:06:40

yeah, yes, yes uh, yeah, no, so uh, well, yeah, okay, you know I'm, I think I'm gonna go cruel, son as well yes, all right put that, yeah, I was gonna, maybe I was. Cat turned blue was a great song. Lost in a crowd was good. I don't think either of us picked that one. Oh and Laugh as the Sun is a really good song too.

Speaker 6 1:06:57

Those two as blocks, I think Okay, yeah.

Speaker 3 1:07:00

They felt like blocks, because one leads into the other. But, yeah, cruel Son was a standout, so I'm going to say that's my number one as well.

Speaker 6 1:07:07

Nice, all right. Oxidized stem is coming up next, oh is it Okay?

Speaker 3 1:07:17

Yeah, let's do it, man. Another one, keep tuning in, check us out. Thanks everybody for listening. Like us All right, take care Bye.
