Bill Mallonee of the Vigilantes of Love has had about 4 record contracts fall out from under him, including one around 1999 that Buddy Miller produced called audible sigh with Emmylou Harris singing on it -
video for said Emmylou track is here - (I now own that Gretsch in the video, BTW and the 50's fender tweed amp)
both Audible Sign and Summershine were records lost at the end of VOL's existance - Summershine was released around 9/11 and got totally lost - it's now available for FREE download track by track from Bill's online music site at
VOLsounds or billmallonee.net - 2nd album down - Audible sigh was more alt-country whereas summershine had some really good pop sounds on it -
Bill's an incredible lyricist - Edwin Mccain covered a couple tunes on the last album - last I heard he was living gig to gig and subbing as a janitor at a school in between tours - total waste of a great songwriter
