the ballad of the gravel pit

Plaid shirt, you’re my favorite (favorite).

Another fine offering from Greg below. Here I share with you the band who gave that Westie bootleg its name. Just so you don’t have to play the guessing game: their name is the Gravel Pit. A friend of the Gravel Pit was putting out the Stone Pony show on the Kiss the Stone label, and with the Pit having cut the song “Paul Westerberg,” he connected two of his faves.

From New Haven originally, then based in Boston, the Gravel Pit is fronted by heady crooner Jed Parish and they traffic in a well oiled, well heeled power pop/rock gilded with soul and even metal edges. 3/4 went on to form the Gentlemen with Mike Gent of the Figgs.
