Really a great release I love it a lot... If you like it (you said you did. So....) do a search of the (even more nicer,) Taj Mahal / Toumani Diabate CD " Kulanjan" . That album introduced me to this kind of African Blues... Still one of the best records of Mr. Diabate
Side 2 is 25 mins and titled Free Form Funkafide Filth. Yes please. Buddy Miles is a drumming dervish
Here’s a single from the great Seatrain album released late 1970, charting in 71 This was introduced to me from “Senior Deadheads” in my area. They had a great roster of musicians and significant musical history, with links to The Blues Project, Jerry Garcia and The Beatles (see below). Flutist/bassist Andy Kulberg and drummerRoy Blumenfeld of Blues Project formed the band with Jim Roberts, ex-Mystery Trend guitarist John Gregory, former Jim Kweskin Jug Band violinist/fiddler Richard Greene, and saxophonist Don Kretmar. Seatrain recorded their first album, Planned Obsolescence, in 1968, but had to release it as a Blues Project album for contractual reasons. In 1969, they released a self-titled LP (Sea Train), but faced a major change in membership a few months later.[2] The group's second self-titled album was released in late 1970 under the single-word name Seatrain. By then, Blumenfeld, Gregory, and Kretmar had been replaced by drummer Larry Atamanuik, keyboardist Lloyd Baskin, and Earth Opera guitarist and former Blue Grass Boy Peter Rowan. The album's "13 Questions" was released as a single and became a minor hit in the US,[3]reaching #49 on Billboard's national chart in 1971. George Martin produced the album, marking the first time he had acted in that capacity with a rock act since his work with the Beatles Seatrain - Seatrain (1970, 8-Track Cartridge) |
Used to have a copy of one of their collaborations, but haven’t heard it in a lng time. Added to my “to hear” list. Currently playing
Interesting. I've had Marblehead Messenger for ages, but should probably track down a copy of the debut.
I saw Dylan and GE on the tour as well early fall. Short set, it was ok, but it was cool seeing Smith after all those years of Saturday Night Lives. Steel Pulse opened and was more entertaining.
Hot Damn Boys! And on top of that @adamos puts a boot stomp on these great spins with a Lou Reed ticket stub and show from 1973 for a little emphasis, damn.
