Un-Grateful Thread - What Are You Listening to Instead of the Dead?

the "can" first official release

 

I got the Blu-Ray when it came out. He did add content for a few months, but then it all disappeared, a preview of what happened with the Pono store, perhaps.

 

He stole a lot from the two other Kings too, especially Freddy/Freddie

 

From the 86 box

With the terrible news about David Berman last week, I did a bit of a marathon of his excellent but bleak newest album as Purple Mountains and the Silver Jews’ American Water, Tanglewood Numbers and Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea over the weekend. One of the best songwriters of his (and my) generation gone way too soon.

Also John Scofield’s Hand Jive, Thelonious Monk The Complete It Club, Phish Star Lake ‘98 DVD, Thom Yorke’s Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes, and Elvis Costello’s Armed Forces, among other things.

 

Yeah, this news about David Berman hit me really hard as I was listening to Purple Mountains a lot lately. He had a natural talent to write verses that get stuck in your head, this man was a real poet.
Sadly, when you listened to the lyrics and read any interview with David lately, you could sense something bad might happen pretty soon.

 

First time played since 1969 I believe.
Campbell nails it. That guitar tone is wonderful. And remember that Fleetwood Mac always had the same original rhythm section since '67 or so... I don't know if anyone in can beat that. 52 years and counting.

 

Soul Jazz Records: Venezuela 70: Cosmic Visions of a Latin American Earth: Venezuelan Experimental Rock in the 1970s. Can't go wrong with any of the Sould Jazz comps.

 

will have to check that one out

 

that looks really interesting. want to hear.

 

I blame it on the Wild Turkey one third off at my local store.

 

This w as the one before he sure could sing.

 

That bloke.

 

One of the all-time greatest albums.

 

Wonderful stuff, that Wild Turkey, oh, the music is pretty good too.
Especially the live '73 radio station lp, love that, and feel lucky to
have it--can be a hard search. GP, always great stuff. Another hard
search can be the Wild Turkey 101 Rye litre, but always worth it if
you can find it. Cheers...




NP... last night I put on Famous Blue Raincoat, a title, vinyl
or otherwise, that will make a $35 bro-box sound like great
hi-fidelity audio gear; a worthy and under-the-radar record,
Jennifer Warnes sings Leonard Cohen, 1 or 2 cuts w/ him.
I have not listened to Teatro lately, but when I do it's usually
a good time. Two other reasons to enjoy this: EmmyLou's sings
with Willie, and it is produced by another favorite, Daniel Lanois
producer of many classic records who can create mood on record
with the best of them. He has cut a few fine albums under his
name as well.

Another outlaw, desperado really, whose book I'm reading;
one of a few, this is all about the music, the writing, the recording,
the artists that helped him--really enjoying it. I'm reading the
chapter about Warren Zevon's Excitable Boy now... another
amazing record from an amazing songwriter. It fits very nicely
with the WN's Teatro, as some of Zevon's songs embody a border
tex mex quality that made so much of the periods's music so
romantically world weary, and soulful.

Wow, I always thought Paul wrote “Til There Was You,” but it was Meredith Wilson, whoever she is.

George's "Don't Bother Me" is really good. That should be my theme song.
