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

Folk music

 

Alaskan folk music from 1971 recorded by a Vietnam veteran:

John Angaiak - I'm Lost in the City



Side one is sung in Yup'ik (an Eskimo language) and side two is in English.

Numbered limited edition reissue of 1000. It's on sale for $7 at Light in the Attic's holiday sale. I couldn't resist.

"Piukuvet"

 

...and one from the English side of the record:

"Hey, Hey, Hey Brother"

 

First listen to this one:

Bobby Whitlock - Bobby Whitlock


Wow, this is better than I expected. I'm loving it on first listen. If you are a big fan of Delaney & Bonnie and the Layla double album, then this'll be right in your wheelhouse.

Musicians that play on this album:

Bobby Whitlock
George Harrison
Eric Clapton
Klaus Voorman
Jim Gordon
Bobby Keys
Jim Price
Chris Wood
Carl Radle
Jerry McGee
Jim Keltner
Delaney & Bonnie Bramlett

 

I'm having one of those days in which I feel sort of spaced. This seems suitable.

 

Love, Four Sail. Not everything on it is great, but the highlights--particularly "August" and "Robert Montgomery"--are glorious.

This is one of the finest artifacts of our psych rock heritage:



whatever that means

 

It's Sandy time around here.

 

I had that one in my headphones at work earlier today.

 

Always nice to see Buddy Guy and Billy Gibbons. Beth Hart is cool and Steven Tyler still looks and sounds like a rock star thank god! Not to many of them left now sadly.

Beck plays electric guitar with his thumb(so does Nils Lofgren but with a pick) and it looks so easy...not!
The instrumental A day in the life is simply amazing!

 

Jeff seems to do whatever he wants with the guitar. It looks so effortless!

 

On my third grunion ipa from Ballast Point and now it's time for the Ooooo at the Isle of Wight 1970.
I've had the DVD since forever but it's been at my parents place since I moved out years ago. I just bought the blu-ray and giving it a spin. Great great rock n roll!

 

Pete is absolutely on fire on this show.

 

It sure sounds like it!

Young man blues now

 

Man, I'm glad I re-bought the show. Pictured quality is excellent and beautifully organic. I ain't often 16mm looks this great. Shot at a festival no less. Holy ****! And the 5.1 mix shakes my house!
The band is a freakin freight train goin on 88mph into the future, or is that back to future? It raaawks!

Hey my man Chris; anything funny to add?

 

The whole band is ablaze.

 

And I hope that somebody's daughter was alright... Waaater

 

I saw this in the theater ~10 years ago when it was re-released that way. I hadn't ever seen it and was... uh... surprised by some of the editing choices. It frustrates me when directors do that.

Said the straight man to the late man
Where have you been?

 

I’ll join in on the Sandy listening party, via Fairport Convention

 

Mais si tu dois partir, va-t'en
Mais si tu dois partir, va-t'en
Si non, tu dois rester la nuit

Maybe 37 minutes and it’s as mind-blowing as any small form free improvisation recording I’ve heard. Stunning
