Studio albums: BLUE REUNION (2020), GOLDEN ARROW (2009), REDBEARD (2006), GREEN MAN (2007-18) form the core of Jim Knable's songwriting output, but the crust is also worth exploring. ... more

The Ulysses Cycle
by Russ Kaplan+7

Russ talked to me about his desire to make an Odyssey-based song cycle a long time ago. And then he finally did it. It's a sublime journey through the looking glass that is Odysseus/Ulysses. Enjoy it! Jim Knable and The Randy Bandits

i have a brief window of time now.
by chris q. murphy

Chris has many more polished works out here, but his latest defines his raw beating heart most distinctly. Recorded in his car in one sweaty take. "nowhere" is my favorite track. Dig in and dig it. Jim Knable and The Randy Bandits

Fidget
by Spiff Wiegand

Of Spiff's albums, I know this the best from hearing the formation of many songs here. "Nobody's Home" was my favorite. "West Virginia" is a close second. And I'll always love "Sue." Jim Knable and The Randy Bandits
