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

Eric Johnson, Cubby Bear Lounge, Chicago Il. 6/17/90. Very good audience recording, dam this cat can play. A little heavy on the pedals for me but it moves.

 

Mississippi Fred McDowell
1971 album, recorded in 1962.

 

Liked for KJ

 

So more Bob of course. I'm a few songs in. Maybe I've lost my mind but I'm really digging this album. Lots of distain for this album it seems. Perhaps it was a disappointment at the time? I don't mind the backup singers or sax. Whether people like it or not it doesn't feel to me like Dylan is mailing it in.

 

What if it went to 80s Neil Young?

 

Eric Dolphy At the Five Spot Complete Edition

 

Really good album. Singers are great.

 

I wonder if Wikipedia is right about the set order? Haven't seen it attested elsewhere, it'd be better opening with Status Seeking than with Someone in Love though


EDIT from this I guess Eric Dolphy Discography

 

Tampoco !!

 

John Dwyer, Nick Murray, Brad Caulkins, Tom Dolas, Greg Coates
Witch Egg

This came out yesterday. First listen and it is awesome. Funky as hell.

 

I love that record, and Slow Train Coming as well. Prime Dylan.

 

If you compiled the following album, it might be one of the greatest of all time:

Seven Curses
Percy's Song
If You Gotta Go, Go Now
Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?
I Wanna Be Your Lover
She's Your Lover Now
Abandoned Love
Seven Days
Up to Me
Caribbean Wind
Series of Dreams

 

I like the muddy original mix. Nice album.

 

Does the muddy original mix sound better streaming ?

 

Last night I dreamt I travelled in time to save Eric Dolphy. My plan was finding Eric in Europe and have a talk with him in order to make him aware that he suffered from diabetes and then insisting that he saw a doctor. I can't remember how the story ended (if it actually ended, of course).

 

I don't get your question.

 

Considering he had that whole crazy 78 world tour shebang, I don't feel like he phoned anything in. Maybe it wasn't what everyone wanted but he always seems committed/passionate about whatever he's doing. It's a weird kind of outlier album - I really enjoy it!

No joke, my favorite Neil era is the 80s! Trans or bust!

 

Luckily all of those songs are on Spotify to make a playlist. Will def give that a listen.

 

Yeah finishing it up. I'd consider it a great album.

 

I didn't specify the exact sources of some of those, as a few of them have many versions. Specifically:

If you gotta go is take 3 (1/15/65) from BS 12;
I Wanna be your Lover is take 5 from BS 12 (but the Biograph version is just fine and might even be the same take; I dunno, it's tiring); and
She's Your Lover Now is take 16 from BS 12.

I believe the other tracks are only (or mostly) available in one particular take (although the recent Rolling Thunder box might refute that assertion). One exception I know of is Series of Dreams. The better take (IMO) is on BS 1-3; the other version on Tell Tale Signs (BS 8) is also good, but not quite as good as the other.

 

Thanks for the details. While there is a ton of streaming stuff not all of it is there so most likely will have to make some compromises.

 

I love that album, too. One of his best albums closer’s on that one!

 

It was a joke.


We already know that Charlie don’t surf and Rodrigo don’t stream !
