Morning Glories...

Primarily the trio of Christian Gibbs (vocals/guitar), Nicholas Palumbo (bass), and Kenny Savelson (drums), the NYC based Morning Glories existed for a good handful of years in the nineties releasing three under the radar albums on the Headhunter/Cargo label. It’s a little bit surprising as to how little there is out there these days about this band, not even an archived review from some zine or anything for that matter really. Kind of a shame as for three albums they released a solid mixture of trademark nineties jagged indie-rock, blues, and tiny smidge of alt-country worked in for good measure. Typically it seems to work the other way around, but if I had to suggest it I would work backwards through the bands discography starting with their final album in 1997 Let the Body Hang. From there is the bands second album Fully Loaded in ’95 and their Self-Titled debut in 1994.

Morning Glories:

Fully Loaded:
Morning Glories – Elizabeth [MP3]
Morning Glories – Tire Iron Serenade [MP3]

Let the Body Hang:
Morning Glories – B.B. Gun [MP3]
Morning Glories – Hickory [MP3]

After breaking up, singer Christian Gibbs would move on to solo work and is currently a member of two different groups, Lucinda Black Bear and The Droves. The Droves also happen to feature former Morning Glories drummer Kenny Savelson as well. All three of the bands albums are still available through Amazon, both new and used. Definitely pick up and album or two if you dig what you hear.
