Giant Sand (Howe Gelb) - Shiver - 2001

[marchadier1]

Great song. I feel ashamed to say, atho. being a big fan of indie in general (The Fall, Magazine, Wire, etc) and more recent U.S. alt-rock (Wilco, Lambchop, Sparklehorse), had never really heard any GS records. Can anyone suggest other 'greats' of theirs, albums to start with, best comp?

[ethicomm]

They do a dynamite song from this CD called Punishing Sun. Wish it was on YT.

@fallenpumpkinhead these guys were owesome on stage ! saw them in the 90's 3 times back in belgium . Now, the other part of giant sand is the genius band " calexico " ...which is worth listening too ! cheers

[nyckelwound]

funny how this song fits every mood. Beeing depressed or happy, shiver (and well giant sand in general), allways happen to help out : )

[ChunLi3]

Who is your uncle? :)

[windowOntheSea]

it makes me feel so good...

[Cezzium1]

this is what "alt" "country" is all about. Howe - you and the guys are the pioneers - the last of the really great cowboys. fuck the Eagles - with their lux pay checks for mediocre music, and ugly covers on the Rolling Stone, with a half ass band. YOU are a beautiful and talented man. You and your kind, define what we, who love this "genre" ,

and the dusty, lovely, melodic sound you gave us, still search the web for - in hopes that one day you will grace us with coming to our towns.

[CarlFargman]

This makes me feel at home.

[NoumaiosDeLaCampa]

just great howe gelb at his best

[BongoCorral9]

This is a great video, I'm glad I stumbled across it. The song and the players rock, I dug Giant Sand when John & Joe where apart of it. Alas we all move on and Calexico had their own album(s) to do. Howe has done fine without them and that's a good thing. I recently got broad band, it's awesome to view all the Howe and giant sand videos, Howe keeps my world a rockin'. It's nice to find some folks who feel the same. Thank you litterbox music for all the great posts.

[ampalternator]

John and Joe don't even play on this one! I believe it's some guys from Kevin Salem's crowd. IIRC

Giant Sand have a new great record out 'Provisions'! Get it!

[Lukehurricane]

Great album,and great song,and beatiful video!Howe Gelb is the last cowboy survivor of this generation!4ever Giant Sand!Luke

[wjupiters]

What Cezzium said.

Shiver is one of the great overlooked songs in the history of songdom.

I bow in Howe's general direction and look forward to his return to Chicago, whenever that may be.

[Cezzium1]

I absolutely love this man. And I am picky. what a great artist. My favorite song in the world. Thank you Howe. Please do a show in Orlando! some of us down here love good music.

[mithar]

Beautiful stuff. Really great music and clip.

[maybechildhood]

he is so handsome... sigh.

[filmfan78]

danke!!

[dermcc]

great to see this - never have before

[guisch72]

grand moment (vu de Belgique)

[gabavila]

Simply beautiful and rather sad. Those were the days, with the guys from Calexico in the band. Of course, the video was never played on MTV. They have no room for REAL artists like Helb and his friends. Thanks muchas for posting.Greetings from El Paso!

Hola! Thanks for the recent show in Bisbee at El Change-O! Gallery. Sweet arrangements and well-honed talents, all of you!

[giganteanimal]

great images, great music

[TorEgil70]

This song and this video is great! Howe Gelb is one of the greatest!!! It brings back good memories from Tucson and Arizona, where I traveled for 3 weeks this summer, too. I love it. Love Howe! From Tor-Egil, Norway

[friendliestfire]

This is one of the most romantic videos I've seen. I love Tucson--and Howe.

[Cocrteau3]

Thanks a lot! Bought the 1st Giant Sand album sometime time in 85 and been a Gelbarite ever since...Coming from Europe its difficult to understand what the Wild West is all about...as seen in this clip...
