Mix Pick: The Felice Brothers

There's a great, raggedy rock and roll band playing at the Trocadero tonight. They're called the Felice Brothers, they come from the Catskills, and while I'm not saying they're the second coming of Robbie Robertson, Richard Manuel and Levon Helm, they do embody the late '60s Music From Big Pink spirit of Dylan and The Band better than anybody else I can think of who's making music right now. I don't know if I've ever had as much fun while sitting in a pew as I did at the more-than-slightly-crazed show they played at the tiny chapel at the First Unitarian Church last year. Below, there's a Black Cab Session, of scratchy voiced Ian and accordion playing James Felice (that's their drummer brother Simone on the right) riding around in the back seat of a taxi in London, singing the dark and doomy "Ruby Mae." And from the brand new Yonder Is the Clock, there's "Penn Station," a song at the junction of heaven and hell that's inspired by the Philadelphia architect Louis Kahn, who died of a heart attack in a bathroom in the New York train station in 1974.
