Carl's Chair still on the local charts
For regular readers of this site, you may know we got into a little trouble over 'Carl's Chair', hot on the heels of Nuevo Retro, we received one or two 'WTF' responses from Blues Purists and a couple of 'we dont like your kind round here' from unnameable sources (well, I could name'em but I won't cos we are quite polite most of the time). Controversy? Great! Just ask Rupert, it sells papers!
Nonetheless, Carls' Chair is still on the Australian Blues/Roots charts. Thats gotta be nigh on 6 months now. It peaked at #7 (not bad) and is still on there at #14. Carl's Chair came into the charts when Nuevo Retro was still on the chart, and given that NR made it to #1 and stuck around for a year, we've been pretty well represented on the airwaves for a while.
What does it all mean? Who knows! We have managed to offend purist genre enthusiasts from at least three (or more) Musical Tribes and with luck, the next album will increase the number of people who can't pin us down!
Hooray!
