Jimmie Spheeris The Nest

From my favorite of his LP's "Isle Of View" not a bad track onit. His later albums are very good, but just not in the same ballpark, IMO.

You haven't downloaded from itunes before? It's pretty basic.. That's your best bet ...

Convert to MP3 or wav and burn to disc...but if you love the song that much I will say without hesitation that you should definitely get it... the whole album is great. He has a lot of other really good albums, too... but to my ears this one is alone in it's own world . It's the best he did, IMO.... there's nothing else like it anywhere.

I'm not aware of it being on CD but you-can- get the whole album from itunes, that's where I first got it.

OMFG!! I just found this album in buried in a closet on my third floor!

Awesome! Thanks for this!

I used to listen to the underground radio stations just prayin' they'd spin anything from this album.

Glad you found it... it's a classic. I think it's his best...

I've reached this song (and album) on the back of bands like Midlake citing it as a huge influence. I have to say that as good as "The Trials of Van Occupanther" is - and it is one of my favourite albums of the last 5 years - this song is just sublime and beats it hands down. I really rate a Leeds based band called Fossill Collective that are making beautiful music in a similar style, "On and On" may interest anyone interested in a new band (hopefully) on the rise making a well educated sound.

I swapped Bowie's Man how sold the world to get the IOV album back in the 70s. It was the original Ltd release and is now worth a few £s. Still rather have Jimmie's album!

Can't find any covers of his songs on the tube! Will have to warm up some of my oldies and have a go!

Jimmie was my first concert in the early 80's in Norman ok....at the Boomer theater. Still remember it well. Amazing artist that gives goosebumps...it's so real

This always one of my favs ...

Is there anyone else that remembers seeing h at the Armadillo in Austin? I was a kid, it was magical - think I cried a little, and maybe peed myself, when he sang this live

I've got all his stuff on CD/MP3, but there's nothing like the vinyls my mom gave me. Good taste is hereditary :)

I know exactly where my album of this is.....loved it when I first bought and love it still.

It's great to hear Jimmie's haunting songs again. If you like this sort of heartfelt, slightly ethereal singer/songwriter music, I suggest you check out Holcombe Waller's Into the Dark Unknown album. Waller is a dreamy troubadour in the Spheeris tradition.
