    John Prine s/t haven't listened in years, maybe this really is his best album @sami . "Quiet Man" isn't that great though.

    Berlin. Lou Reed, 1973.
    One of the darkest albums ever. If it wasn't for its musical gentleness and for Lou Reed's somewhat stoic singing, it could have been too much to take.
    Sometimes I forget about the big names involved in the recording: Jack Bruce, Aynsley Dunbar, Dick Wagner, Michael and Randy Brecker, among others. One of Reed's masterpieces.

    I don't like the band, nor the heavy metal genre, which I can only take in very small doses, but "Symphony of Destruction" is a fine track.

    Just when I think I'm too old for metal, I bought on one of my old metal cds, and enjoy it immensely!

    Rock N' Roll Animal. Lou Reed. 1974.
    Sort of a domesticated animal. Neat arrangements, slick performances. This musical approach doesn't perfectly suit some of the songs ("Heroin"), but other numbers sound swell ("Rock N' Roll"). Anyway, I like it.

    And now, the relegated tracks:

    Technically, here it's called "IGNORE".

    You should know that by now. ;)

    First, one of the greatest album covers of all time, the best ones being like great art pieces, you can't explain it.
    Secondly, I love this record, thirdly @Rne is one of the great binge listeners of our moment, which is an art.
    All the Lou Reed is quite cool, I miss Lou, I used to try to emulate Lou's moves on the dance floor a long
    time ago, but the moves looked more like the chick on Seinfeld.

    I can't think of anything more opposite ends of the spectrum from LR than the Eagles. But I'm committing
    that sin. Wild Turkey 101 Rye will make you do things you will regret. One of These Nights is their most
    fully realized album for me; I know, Hotel California gets the superstar love, and Joe Walsh is in rare air
    that Henley and Frey could never enter. But OOTN was their perfect masterpiece, and it came out during
    one memorable summer---a nostalgic silver spoon. Some of these songs beat anything released under
    the 'country music moniker' of the last 25 years. Probably my favorites are Desperado and
    On The Border,
    good records for them before H & F drank the punch, left earth. So I might
    put on one of those; multi-mixes both of them, it fills a room nicely. I'm repeating OOTN,
    it's been years, I'm past-starved. Plus, admittedly, it's got a that great americana cover art
    too, and the cool instrumental, Journey of the Sorcerer.

  22. Happy Birthday Warren Haynes, 60 years young!

    The first full Mule show I saw was shortly after 9/11. Getting to SF and into the Warfield was surreal. But Warren delivered a whole bunch of music that night, with a whole bunch of players. All for twenty bucks, thanks Warren!

    There are so many times I look at a Gov't Mule setlist and can't believe how ridiculous it is. They aren't afraid to go for broke that's for sure. Pure rock stars, through and through.

    :laugh::laugh::laugh: I might look a bit compulsive at times, I must admit it.
    It helps to keep me sane during these rough times.

    Finishing up this one tonight first listen. Still on the
    Sun Ra kick. It's a live album from '66 that very well recorded and runs the gamut from free jazz, hard bop, chants, exotica. Definitely recommended.
