Johnny Cash, I Would Like To See You Again. I bought this unheard off [For Sale] Vinyl to make up for the fact that I also bought Elton John's Greatest Hits, overheard. Wait that's not a good word, overplayed. I mean I've heard every Elton John song on that album at least 100 times a piece. And not by owning or playing any of his stuff, but by simply having the radio on a lot in the 70s. Anyway, the Johnny Cash has this lyric, There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi And there ain't no good chain gang The song that's from is his first collaboration with Waylon Jennings. Anyway, wasn't sure what to expect, and turns out. it. is. a. good. album.
This music is not folk, it is not pop, it is certainly not rock. I would say more "a mixture of Jazz and Fusion", mainly 2 guitars, a little (excellent) percussion, a thread of electronics. In two pieces a sampled voice and in the last piece also a flute. Jerry Garcia plays in three songs (it goes without saying that they are the most successful tracks. Relaxing music, which calms the environment. Here, right, music that can be defined as "Ambient". Really recorded well. Do I listen to this album often? no, I was very happy to listen to it 25/27 years ago, when I took it, but then it went into oblivion. Today it happened in my hands, again... the feelings I felt then .... remained the same. Nice record, maybe hard to find now. Do any of you have it? I recommend listening to it again ... you might like it again! Sanjay Mishra & Jerry Garcia Blue Incantation
Tripping the night fantastic with Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions, Kendra Smith with OPAL and Rainy Day... But tinkers and tailors and soldiers unknown Knowbody could keep this lady their own So sweet her gleam bright as the day She never let me wander too far away... ~~h sandoval/until the hunter 2016
A tradition at the AxHaus. Caught lots of shows these days. There were times when the drums>space duringt this period reached the heights of avantXcontemporaryXclassical levels of improvisatory goodness. Xenakis schenakis
Wonderful music, even the songs without Jerry. I can also recommend The Lamplighter and Chateau Benares, Sanjay Mishra brings a unique musical presence. All is really well recorded and mixed, great music.
OK, so the cool thing about this is that you can listen to the last two tracks on side four, and in so doing, relive the Death Star battle and know just about the exact moment the rebels blow it up, and then you fly back to the rebel base, and then you walk down the throne room aisle with Chewbacca and get a medal. But in other places the movie order of events isn't used, so you have the "Ben's Death" music before the cantina bar music.
I’ve been on an Allman Brothers kick lately and picked up Live from A&R Studios. During the opening of “Statesboro Blues,” I thought it sounded a little muffled compared to At Fillmore East, but my ears adjusted, and now it’s really kicking and the band is on fire. Today’s one of those days that I can’t get enough “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.”
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Live at Woodstock (Craft/Fantasy, 2019) It would have been great to see a song from this set in the movie!
Does anyone else here go through musical binging and purging? That is, does your # of releases by artists grow and shrink based on what you "need"/"want"/actively listen to?
*stares at 337 individual Grateful Dead discs* I can stop any time I want. For real, aside essentially from Sinatra, the Dead and The Beatles, I've been doing some judicious pruning...
