Jon Langford - batch review

I shelved all the following albums long before starting this blog, which means that I considered them 7 (B+) or higher. I feel fairly certain that I didn't consider any of them higher than 8 (A-), especially since I think Here Be Monsters (credited to Jon Langford & Skull Orchard) is his best "solo" work, and I assign that an 8.5 (high A-). So, these are all either 7 (B+) or 7.5 (high B+) or 8 (A-). I'm not going to take the time to grade them individually now, but if I ever give any of these another listen in the future, I will specify the grade in a separate entry and pull them off this list.

Jon Langford - Skull Orchard

Jon Langford - All the Fame of Lofty Deeds

Jon Langford and His Sadies - Mayors of the Moon
The Pine Valley Cosmonauts - The Executioner's Last Songs
Waco Brothers - Cowboy in Flames
Waco Brothers - Wacoworld
Waco Brothers - Electric Waco Chair

Also, I will give the following Waco Brothers albums 3 listens at some point, as they each received an A- from Hull, even though Christgau, whose ears I trust more with Langford, didn't like them at the B+ or above level.

To the Last Dead Cowboy [Hull changed to B+ in Rolling Stone album guide]

Freedom and Weep

Hull also graded at A- the The Pine Valley Cosmonauts' Salute the Majesty of Bob Wills. I put this lower on the listen list, because I don't consider PVC so much of a Langford project. In that vein, and, as a final note, Hull also graded A- the album PVC did with Roger Knox (on which Langford presumably plays and sings). It was called Stranger in My Land. At present, this is on a single listen list.
