    And now I know
    Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
    I thought I knew
    But now I know that rose trees never grow
    In New York City

    Lovely song. Honky Chateau is a stellar record

    Some Sandy Denny to mark the 40th anniversary of her passing. Quite a wonderful record.

    You are right about that. Sometimes it is hard to come to grips with the fact that an artist whose first 5 or 6 albums '70-75, rank in my top 1oo of pop. Madman (Razor Face is sheer genius), Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,Tumbleweed Connection, 17-11-70 and HC being tops. The production values, the mix are one remarkable achievment. EJ is one of the few artists where the music works 24/7... no matter the circumstances. Top of the morning to @budwhite.

    Her voice is one of the most beautiful sounds to have ever been produced in this planet.

    Picking single (multiple in some cases) tracks of some all-time favorites to test out my new car stereo...

    Television: “1880 or So”, “In World” & “Rhyme” from the totally undervalued self-titled 1992 “comeback” album

    Myra Melford: opening title track to “Even the Sounds Shine”

    DKV Trio/The Thing: opening 12+ minute track to the recent awesome recording called “Collider” on Not Two Records

    Opening 36 minute improvisation from “Go Forth Duck” care of Paul Dunmall, Paul Rogers & Kevin Norton

    John Carter/Bobby Bradford: opening 2 tracks from “Flight for Four”

    About a third of “Wowee Zowee” from Pavement

    Listening to Discs 3 & 4 of The Allman Brothers Band - Brothers And Sisters (Super Deluxe Edition) from 1973-09-26 at the Winterland. During the Bill Graham intro I was half expecting to hear "Keith Godchaux on the piano," I've heard his GoGD intros so much.

    Normally I'm Duane all the way, but this is the hottest post-Duane performance I can recall hearing. They should have released this one wider than the super deluxe edition.

    Acoustic disc as I wind things down tonight. I listened to a fair amount of Ben in the late 90s and early aughts.

    Couldn't think of two better artists to listen to at the this moment.
    I have seen a lot slamming in general on the MCA '97 remasters;
    honestly, I was ok with them, and grabbed them all including Blues.
    The alternative album covers gave one the opportunity to switch covers
    on the jewel box, including the original. The Hendrix sounds incredibly
    great after a bit of a pause longer than I'd like to admit. I always kept up
    with what was originally Cry of Love, which I snatched up very quickly
    upon release. I did the boot thing, bought Voodoo Soup, and finally this.
    After seeing it in a 'listening post' recently, motivation took hold, to listen
    to this again.

    Ascension
    is a beast, doesn't miss a beat, and an appropriate follow-up
    to suit the mood perfectly. Some live Dead surely to follow, but not on
    this thread, nope. Cheers...

    I listened to the title track today. I must have been feeling really picky but I loved everything about it except Ozzy's vocal was a little too out front for me this time.

    Also listening today:

    Robyn Hitchcock Respect

    Electric Orange Platte and Morbus, selections

    Electric Eye Pick Up, Lift Off, Space, Time

    Constantine Day of Light

    Archie Jones Obscure Overlords a Soundcloud some guy on S***s**k sent me

    Archie Jones Obscure Overlords

    Trying to check out Wand Plum next if I get to it

    Also listened to a playlist today, which I rarely do, but which blew me away--good running order or something.I recommend trying this some time:

    "Reflections in a Tall Mirror" Bevis Frond; "Young Men Dead" The Black Angels; "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"; "Summertime Blues" Blue Cheer; "Hey Bore Hey" Boredoms; Concubine" Butthole Surfers; "She Don't Care About Time" the Byrds; "Vitamin C" Can; "Adam Roberts" Cave; "All Data Lost" Chrome; "Valtaisa Hahmo" Circle; "Sweet Obsession" Dave Brock; "Dead Mantra" Dead Skeletons; "Fire " Dreamtime; "Memory Lane" Eddy Current Suppression Ring; "Morbus" Electric Orange;

    "Rainy Places" Fantastic Palace***;

    "Fantasy" Fifty Foot Hose; Satori Part 1 Flower Travellin' Band; "Fair and Tender Ladies" Gene Clark; (Under the Silvery Moon version) "Talk to God" Goat; "You're Alone Now" Sam Gopal; "Darkness is no Friend" Groundhogs; "Space Gun" Guided by Voices; "Hassan i Sabbah" Hawkwind; "Beneath Fields" Heron Oblivion; "Wipe Out" High Rise; "Acid Bird" Robyn Hitchcock; "Eztetl" Holy River Family Band; "Lyzzard Square"; Igra Staklenlenih Perli

    *** RE: FANTASTIC PALACE: A mysterious mystery. There's a video on Youtube that rolled in after whatever I was playing and it's a lot of mostly instrumental short numbers, with also some very intriguing singing efforts, and no idea who he/they are or what the deal is, no one knows anything but that it exists. It just kind of sits there like a dropped Tarot card (The Hanged Man, no doubt, or else maybe the Hierophant) on a church pew. Is it good? Is it bad? It's great, but in a low key way. I think it wants to do something to us but I don't know what yet. I think everything they ever did is on one album.

    It's like The Ring, if I send you the link it won't get me:

    The context of this is I think Duane Allman is a fantastic, transcendently creative guitarist with an amazing tone. Having said that, and speaking relatively, I have heard really convincing arguments why he was better than Dickey, and I don't doubt there are good reasons to prefer him. But I have always preferred Dickey's playing...I love his rounder tone, and his melodic sense. Not that he has a great sense for melody and Duane doesn't, but Dickey's do it for me slightly more--his solo on Blue Sky is like a millionth of a millimeter cooler than Duane's if I had to choose, although of course they are complementary and both are among the best solos ever (really I think of it as one solo by two guitarists, and one of the greatest ever, and there is not really an uptick in quality from Duane to Dickey, it's just that if I have to think this way I prefer Dickey's part ever so slightly)...so I guess I am Team Dickey if I have to choose a team.

    For me an lp that is completely whole, from one of the most formidable
    title track openers in the prog or popular music genre in general, to one
    of its greatest closing heartbreaking jams... Starless. Wish the back
    cover was the front cover.

    I should add that I learned to play both Blue Sky solos a couple years ago, so I know them pretty well (by heart, that is, even if I don't play them on anywhere near the same level)
