Comely, toothsome Susanna Hoffs sends us this compelling image to head up our latest content-free blog post! Oboy! Let's get this ball o' wax rollin' by posting our Top Ten Rando Shuffle choices!
John Martyn - Our Love (uberswell Grace And Danger album) Pink Floyd - Interstellar Overdrive (Prof Stoned Complete Ummagumma) The Moody Blues - Never Thought I'd Live To Be A Million (To Our Children's ...) Duke Ellington - Duke And Band Leave Stage (love how shuffle throws the occasional curve ball) Michelle Phillips - Let The Music Begin (*swoon*) JJ Cale - Clyde (every time I play this album I swear it's the best in the world) The Warlocks - I Know You Rider (from Mindbender album) Th' dB's - Send Me Something Real (alling Of The Sky) "Spirit" - Rebel (Kaptain Kopter) Allman Bros. - High Falls
A very interesting guy. All of these psychedelic fraudsters have something valuable and true hidden in their self-mythologising, and it's always worth digging for it.
Me and a chum got struck by him circa age 20-21. It fed into our nocturnal late late Summer wanderings around NW England. There is indeed some utterly fantastic stuff to be found in there.
Along similar lines I've been listening to High Weirdness: Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies which I think is free on Audible(! -- maybe just for Prime members?). Does an excellent job contextualizing the "Consciousness Movement" and the 70s cultural milieu as a backdrop to the experiences of the McKenna brothers, Robert Anton Wilson, and Philip K. Dick in particular. Great stuff if you don't mind wading through some high-falutin' discussions of hermeneutics, phenomenology, ontology and mnemetics (as a former grad student, I love it!).
Frank Zappa - ‘Uncle Remus’ Rory Gallagher - ‘I Could've Had Religion’ Bob Weir - ‘Black-Throated Wind’ Miles Davis - ‘Tout De Suite’ Rolling Stones - ‘Saint Of Me’ Charlie Parker - ‘Donna Lee’ The Moody Blues - ‘You Can Never Go Home’ Donna Summer - ‘Try Me, I Know We Can Make It’ Lightnin' Hopkins - ‘Let Me Play With Your Poodle’ Bessie Smith - ‘Muddy Water (A Mississippi Moan)’
The problem with shoegaze/dreampop/whatever is that the genre is so narrow it discourages creativity - everything sounds the same. But this here album from the irritatingly-yclept SWiiMS gets everything right. From the airy vox (reminding me of Choo Choo Train, no bad thing), through the brilliantly chiming guitars, to a drummer who knows his stuff and when to rein it in, 'Into The Blue Night' is something of a genre classic. Download with confidence - millions already have.*
Here’s the eighth album from Supertramp, on a SHM-CD
Supertramp - ‘Famous Last Words’ "It's Raining Again” was the hit. This one is more “Pop” than “Prog", while retaining their signature sound.

FT3 - I think I have to fold because of your Beach Boys "Strange World" call. For me - that starts a run of 4 BRILLIANT and BEAUTIFUL songs to close out the "That's Why God Made the Radio" album. The enduring genius of Brian Wilson's songwriting - even as of that 2012 album - just blows me away. And Bon Jovi apparently has a piece of the songwriting credit on "Summer's Gone" that closes out the album. What's the back story on that I wonder?
Then again, Roger McGuinn has a co-writing credit on Brian's immortal classic "Ding Dong" (entire lyric set: Ding! Dong! Whoo! (repeat). So, uh, yeah...
I sued McGuinn and Brian to get my proper due, and royalties, from that classic. They put periods after the words, and I WAS THE ONE that said, NO NOT PERIODS! ITS !!!!! I won and got all of $3.50!!!!
FT3 - thanks for the link to your prior post on Brian. Your commentary was spot on. Regarding "Ding Dang" - "I love a girl and I love her so madly / I treat her so fine but she treats me so badly"
Well, that settles it, then. Poet Laureate McGuinn was indeed required for those very fine lines of poetry, to rival any classic English literature has ever put forth...
BTW One Buck Guy - I enjoyed your write-up on Carl & The Passions "So Tough" on your One Buck Records blog and the curation you put together. I thought it worked very nicely.
Also - I thought I read somewhere that Brian had another musical obsession (besides "Ding Dang") with "Shortenin' Bread" - where apparently he did a million different musical permutations of it over a number of years. Then he works through the obsession (or sets it aside) and creates some incredible new piece of music. Fascinating how that all works. His 2000 album "Live at The Roxy Theatre" is one of my favorite all time LIVE albums from anyone.
The Beach Boys - Rarities Vol.15: Brian Wilson Sweet Insanity The Beach Boys - Rarities Vol.16: Brian Wilson (1962-1963) The Beach Boys - Rarities Vol.17: Brian Wilson (1963-1964) The Beach Boys - Rarities Vol.18: Brian Wilson (1964-1965)
FT3 - these 2 albums you put together are both great! And the cover artwork you did for both fits like a glove. Thanks so much for reupping. Do you think Brian has one more album in him? I sure hope so!
I agree with you that if the solo piano album is it - it's a lovely way to finish things up. I don't have a shred of musical talent - so I am forever fascinated with the musical creative process. In Brian's case, I would think this process is complicated by the mental health challenges he has faced. If he wants to record more music - great - I will always be interested in listening. But if it is not to be - we have a treasure trove of his past music we can enjoy in the meantime.
The Hoffmanites were especially Hoffmanesque in the thread devoted to that album: they hated the sound of it and they suspected cheating and skullduggery in the playing - it wasn't really him, because he can't play, and it was overdubbed, and so on.
Well, it sounds exactly like a real piano in a real room. It sounds like Bri is actually playing a piano in your house. This is fantastic. I like to wander out into the garden while it's playing and imagine Brian back in my house.
As to "trickery", Brian plays every note, and he said "I made it like I make all my records, overdubbing in the studio", which allows for some harmonies you wouldn't hear from a person playing the piano. Subtle and complex/simple, like the man.

* Has anyone here got a good version of the McGavock Gayden (First Album), that they could share please, my copy sounds pretty awful - I got it here I think and am thankful for that, but would like a nicer version.
Because I also have this fab album from the island, and the sound isn't great. A little muffled, a bunch of crackles and some distortion issues, on the vamp section of "Take Me Away", if memory serves.
Not complaining, because that seems to be the best of what's out there it seems, but the transfer definitely wasn't top notch...
Finally!!!! A photo of Babs' archive. Very close to the picture I had conjured up in my mind. Question regarding the archive - if things here continue - is it even possible that it will get to the point where Babs' says - "the archive is empty - nothing else to share". I would like to think it is not possible. And I am grateful in the meantime for the new sounds to experience. I am listening right now to the latest Dexter Gordon drop - Jesus! - just fabulous.
Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band - ‘Grow Fins: Rarities 1965–1982’
This is 5 CDs of unreleased material that spans the band's entire career, but focuses mainly on their work up to the late-1960s and the sessions for the Captain's best-known album, Trout Mask Replica.

Supertramp - ‘Brother Where You Bound’
Goodbye Roger, it's been nice Hope you'll find your paradise Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Supertramp don’t, sound the same
https://we.tl/t-cWhgS5DLIz
The Band - ‘The Last Waltz’ With Ronnie Hawkins, Paul Butterfield, Bobby Charles, Eric Clapton, Farquhar Throckmorton III, Neil Diamond, Emmylou Harris, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Ringo Starr, Muddy Waters, Ronnie Wood, Neil Young and Bob Dylan.
I thought it was an inside joke of sorts by Babs and not based upon reality. The fact that you were actually there - that is a delicious factoid! Puts a smile on my face just imaging the intersection of your reality with that of The Band, Dylan, etc. I imagine Marty scurrying around all powdered up (allegedly).
"Van Morrison loved my blintzes"!!! I spit up my Jamaican Blue coffee when I read that. I have NO trouble believing this really happened although in VM's current apparent state of mind I am not so sure he would find love for the blintzes today.
Farq,any chance you could re up the 2020 file on Mac Gaydens trove.Totally been out of my travels and just looked him up on u tube love the guy already.
Wonderful player. I've had the Skyboat album for decades, but only discovered the McGavock Gayden album here in 2020. He's played on loads of albums, notably Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde, which lead to Bob Johnston recording Macs first solo album.
Time to inject some class in this place filled of useless bums. Walter "Wolfman" Washington was an iconic blues/soul guitarist from New Orleans, who's recording career starting in the 1950s. His career reached a high point during the late 80s-early 90s, when he recorded several albums for Rounder records, and appeared as a sideman on several more (including some classics by Johnny Adams). Walter died from a cancer bout earlier this year, but managed to record his epitaph beforehand. He wanted to make an album that featured more of his vocals and was reminiscent of late 50s Johnny Hartman recordings. Listen and I think you'll agree that he succeeded. A few years after Katrina, Walter used to hang out at a neighborhood bar around the corner from where I had a place. He would nurse a drink, and play the video poker machines for hours. One night, I pulled up aa chair next to him, and he taught me his "system" on how to beat the machine. A few hours later, I was $50 to the good, and one hell of a lot wiser for having conversed with him about a lot more than just video poker. https://mega.nz/folder/h7J2XJCQ#n8Y704ZxlSvdXHGIURTttQ
He got the nickname Wolfman because for decades he was missing his 2 upper, front, teeth, so it gave him an exaggerated fang look; especially when he would pick his guitar strings with his teeth. Finallygot 2 implants which prompted him to give up the teeth picking.
His second to last lp, My Future is My Past, is vary similar in style. He as probably about 10 other records, but they are much more in a blues vein. I can link up any or all if there is an interest.
His system was mostly intuitive. He had figured out algorhythms even before that term became a buzz word. As I recall, he was able to figure it out by analogyzing it to standard chord progressions. For a guy who didn't finish high school, he was very intelligent.
Most of his other recordings are good, but not anything you haven't heard from others. But, he took a very different approach starting with his penultimate recording. That one was supposed to be released on the Newvelle Records label, but they got crosswise with each other (which is odd, because Walter never got angry as far as anyone who knew him could recall) and he ultimately did a self release. This last one was issued through Tipitina's Records; same people that own the music club in NO started a label that primarily issues sound board recordings from concerts they hosted. This is their second studio release. Tipitina's is owned by the members of the jazz/funk band, Galactic. Which is a story unto itself - they were owed tons of $ by the former owner of the club who stiffed them on what they were owed for a 4 night Halloween gig several years ago. They traded the debt for the club, and within less than 6 mos, the club was mothballed due to the Coronavirus. That is what led to the record label being formed - a way to generate needed revenue. The former owner died of a self infliced gunshot. Yeah, New Orleans......
In 2017, Craft Records released this limited-edition album set includes all five of the 10" vinyl LPs which the pianist recorded for the Prestige label, from 1952 to 1954. The audio has been expertly restored and remastered by Joe Tarantino from the original analog tapes— you’ve never heard these sides sound so good. I’ve also included a PDF of the booklet with liner notes by Robin D. G. Kelley, author of ‘Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original.’
Sidemen here are, Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey, Max Roach, Gary Mapp, Julius Watkins, Percy Heath, Willie Jones, Ray Copeland, Frank Foster, Curly Russell, Tommy Potter And Art Taylor.
I was going to quote Bull Moose Jackson, but though better of it….
Yes, I know it's a good album, and it's probably Zappa's Dark Side, in that it opened up his global success tour/guitar star era, and lordy it dragged him out of the Turtles Of Invention mess, but I cannot love this album. Nothing after the music/music of Waka/Wazoo actually felt like it was already part of me. I admire the playing, but there's something cold about Zappa albums from here on in.
Listening to this for the first time in years, I haveta admit it's mostly freaking all RIGHT. I still don't dig it like the Real Mothers albums, but that's nitpicking.
Here’s the tenth, and the last Supertramp album, that I have on SHM-CD.
Supertramp - ‘Free as a Bird’ Do drum machines, synthesized dance beats and rhythms belong on a Supertramp record? Not in my book, but it’s not all that bad. Sounds like it might have been a too much “Snow White” situation.
https://we.tl/t-g7BO9v0Drn
Not unlike the Band’s album ‘Islands’, I am, by law, contractually obligated to post something by The Band on this, the last of our Band/Supertramp Japanese edition series. So, here’s Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab’s release of ‘Before the Flood’
Jericho isn't bad, just kind of meh. In the 80s when they were playing clubs, one night in Manhattan my friends and I sat about eight feet from Richard Manuel. He talked to us between songs and glugs of Grand Marnier.
So, this afternoon, I went for a followup visit to the oral surgeon. The good news is, he removed the stitches from where he drilled through the roof of my mouth to remove the median palatine cyst. More good news, I can eat solid (soft for now) foods again!
Anyway, while I was in an Uber cab on my way home, the driver decided to play some music. All of a sudden, there was the Humble Pie song “Hot 'n' Nasty” blasting at two-hundred decibels. The driver quickly turned down the volume, apologized, and said, “If you don’t this, I’ll change it.” I told him, “No, I like Humble Pie”, which surprised him. While listening to Smokin’ on the way home, I thought Th' Four Or Five Freeloading Guys might this.
So here's Humble Pies’ Smokin’ from 1972. This is the 2010 Analogue Productions SACD/Hybrid reissue, and it’s well, smokin’!
If you already have this, switch it out for this version. Your ears will thank you.
Steve Marriott was one of the wretchedest sons of bitches ever to grab a mic. Child star, based on nothing but planet-sized talent and charm, UK-conquering pop star fronting the Small Faces - what could go wrong? Bad management, bad luck, but mostly bad drugs. One of the greatest rock n' roll voices ever (technically a fine singer, not a shouter). The poor guy.
Loved that album when it was first released, especially their version of Roadrunner. But, my favorite of their's, and the only lp by them that I still listen to, is the follow-up to Smokin', Eat It. More of a soul, rnb, direction on that one, which really fits Marriott's vocals.
R.L. Boyce, a Mississippi hill country blues performer that one of the Dickinson's once called "the toastmaster general of hill country blues," died last week. He was 68. I first encountered R.L. at the Oxford Blues Festival in (I think) 2014. He was just a half step short of sloppy drunk & created on-the-spot an extended blues-rap extolling the virtues of an equally inebriated Yankee youth of maybe 22 who had provided the liquid fuel for R.L.'s rocket. I was sold, obviously. He was also a mainstay at the annual North Mississippi Hill Country Picnic in scenic Waterford MS. So for your amusement, here's R.L.'s last CD (which one of his relatives was peddling tent-to-tent at the picnic a few years ago). My copy is actually a CD-R; R.L. was pirating himself. It's called "Ain't Gonna Play Too Long," and most sane people will probably agree that the title is cause for Thanksgiving. Happy turkey day.

Kevin Gilbert was a musical artist who died by his own hand in 1996, the sad result of pioneering the auto-erotic asphyxiation fad (of which INXS frontman Michael Hutchence was a latecomer). Perhaps I will use this story to scare my grandson when he is a teenager, reminding him not to masturbate himself to death. By then he will know nothing of "rock", instead listening to DJ Chad GPT or some such.
What Kevin should be remembered for, aside from Sheryl Crow's Tuesday Night Music Club, is Toy Matinee. Partnering with Patrick Leonard, Gilbert explores a wide variety of musical landscapes.
Let's join in exploring: https://workupload.com/file/5uWeJR2W7rh
The Toy Matinee is an incredible one off. Also worth tracking down is Kevin Gilbert-Toy Matinee Live At The Roxy, released posthumously by his estate...

Miles Davis Quintet - ‘The Complete Columbia Studio Sessions (1965-1968)’
This is six CDs of Miles Davis second great quintet, with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams. Included are all songs from the albums ‘E.S.P.’, ‘Miles Smiles’, ‘Sorcerer’, ‘Nefertiti’, ‘Miles in the Sky’, the quintet tracks from ‘Filles de Kilimanjaro’ and ‘Water Babies’ as well as some rehearsal, alternative takes, and a few unreleased tracks.
Miles’ second great quintet is my favorite band of any genre.

Buffalo Springfield - ‘What's That Sound : Complete Albums Collection’
What's That Sound: The Complete Albums Collection restores the discography to how it was heard upon its original release. Whether it is the vinyl or CD release, it serves up both the stereo and mono versions of 1966's ‘Buffalo Springfield’ and 1967's ‘Buffalo Springfield Again’, along with the stereo version of 1968's ‘Last Time Around’. Everyone’s favorite uncle, Neil Young, supervised the remastering, so the audio is nice and sweet.
George Harrison and Friends - ‘The Concert for Bangladesh’
The Concert for Bangladesh was a pioneering charity event in aid of the homeless Bengali refugees of the Bangladesh Liberation War, and set the model for future multi-artist rock benefits.
The other day, I uploaded ‘The Last Waltz’, which has a lot in common with the ‘The Concert for Bangladesh’. Both were filmed for theatrical release, have an all-star lineup, blintzes (with sour cream) were served, as were piles of Bolivian marching powder, and Bob Dylan upstages everyone involved.
Along with George Harrison are, Ravi Shankar, Bob Dylan, Leon Russell, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Eric Clapton, Ali Akbar Khan, Alla Rakha, Kamala Chakravarty, Jesse Ed Davis, Klaus Voormann, Jim Keltner, Pete Ham, Tom Evans, Joey Molland, Mike Gibbins, Don Preston, Carl Radle, Jim Horn, Chuck Findley, Jackie Kelso, Allan Beutler, Lou McCreary, Ollie Mitchell, Claudia Lennear, Joe Greene, Jeanie Greene, Marlin Greene, Dolores Hall, and Don Nix.
Two minor quibbles, I wish Marty Scorsese made the film, and I’m not in love with Phil Spector “wall of sound” mix, it just doesn’t work well here.
The beginning of the concert, when Shankar admonishes the applauding audience that his band had only undertaken the warm up (as opposed to an actual tune), still gets me. Concert was kinda snoring until Preston took the lead on one of his tunes.
To try to add sum kulthure to this place, here's a couple of manouche albums. Both feature the guitar/violin stylings of the blind, Belgian, musician, Tcha Limberger. Tcha performs in several bands, all of which primarily perform gypsy jazz music. Fortunate to have caught him perform live a couple of times. Both are in flac (lo siento, Farq). https://mega.nz/folder/kzoyTBzb#ZWZifUKf8noSs_wHe-h4sA
This is saxophonist James Carter’s homage to Django Reinhardt. As a teenager in Detroit, Michigan, late at night, James first heard Django and Stéphane, on French language radio stations out of Canada. Upon, release, this album came as a surprise, as James is known mainly as a Post-Bop and sometimes Avant-Garde Jazz artist. What I like about this recording is that it is not a guitar album, with a guitarist trying to imitate Django. That said, guitarists Jay Berliner and Romero Lubambo are sublime. This album has excellent audio, and on the tracks James plays Bass saxophone, it will give your speakers a workout.
Any of you well-upholstered Heads able to furnish me with the remaster of 'Remote Control' by the Tubes? Been digging a murky rip of aged vinyl and wondering how much better this great stuff could sound without laying out even more of my overstretched money and space for the A&M boxset. Thanks in advance for ignoring this.
Cheers, Bambi. That's their appearance on the old Friday tea-time TV gateway to the weekend that also saw Twisted Sister, Bad News and Propaganda (along with many others) do their stuff. I recall digging the Tubes' own spot (a school-teacher of mine had been hyping it up in the days ahead) but didn't consummate the attraction back then, what with my modest means.
The sound quality on the '74 is superb, the '77 has clumsy editing and variable sound quality. Yes, that Tubes on The Tube was a favourite after the pub VHS, back in the days of video tape.
Fancy some Grade A jazzrockfusion with the emphasis on enjoyable listenability? Of course you do. Why these guys didn't sell in Return To Forever numbers (no fan, me) is a mystery. Virtuoso musos. Unpretentious. Uplifting. And as far as I know, Not Scientologists. Who they? A big hand for Caldera, whose run of four albums for Capitol from '76 - '79 tick all the boxes. Like music even just a little bit? You'll like these a lot.
Bob Dylan - ‘The Bootleg Series Vol. 14: More Blood, More Tracks’
‘Blood on the Tracks’ is one of my favorite Dylan albums. This 6 CD compilation collects the recordings Bob made in September and December 1974 for his 1975 album ‘Blood on the Tracks’.
https://we.tl/t-DD05JbJQIr
And as an added bonus: ‘Blood On The Tracks’ (1981CBS Mastersound half-speed mastered version)
This is a vinyl rip of the half-speed master release, which is different to all the other releases of this album. Bob and Phil Ramone decided to speed up the original album by two percent in the mastering, so this version has slightly longer track times. Those of you freeloaders with “an ear” will notice the vocals are more nuanced, the acoustic guitar sounds fuller, the bass is plump and fuller and whole ambience is spacier
... the soundstage is crisper, defined yet cohesive, while the mids exude a kirlian aura of organic resonance, the highs thrill the ear hairs with an effulgent clarity, and the lows possess a buttery, almost bovine richness of timbre!
What's the "right" speed is an interesting question. Consider Fats Domino...the records are sped up. Should we slow them down now to be more authentic? Lennon's vocal was sped up on several Beatles records. Should they be played slower? https://www.goldminemag.com/articles/fats-domino-sped-up-recordings-revealed
Brian Wilson's vocals were sped up by his wonderful father, also to make him sound "younger". The original version of Caroline, No has a very different feel.
Last week I ventured into Panthip Ngamwongwan and discovered a new(?) stand selling vinyl and (some) cds. Of course I couldn't resist and had a closer look. Surprise, surprise, I bought something, which might be of Beatles related interest for some of you! Here's a freshly 320 kbps rip of Paul McCartney's experimental Liverpool Sound Collage (2000), a collaboration of sorts between Paul, Super Furry Animals, and Youth, incl. art: https://we.tl/t-p231WbGmBW
Tomorrow I’m heading to the West Coast for the Thanksgiving holiday, so uploads for the next few days will be slim. Next week, I have lots of Prog Rock to share, so be sure to clean those bongs!

Rahsaan Roland Kirk - ‘Complete Mercury Recordings of Roland Kirk’
This is the twelve LPs Rahsaan recorded for the Mercury Records label (including the Smash and Limelight subsidiaries), on this 10 CD compilation. Actually, it is 11 discs if you count the surprise bonus CD. Additionally, Rahsaan: The Complete Mercury Recordings of Roland Kirk lives up to its name by augmenting those albums with more than two-dozen previously unissued sides.
I’ve also included the action packed 56-page booklet that includes: complete discographical and recording session logs, as well individual essays for each disc.

DeleteAlong similar lines I've been listening to High Weirdness: Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies which I think is free on Audible(! -- maybe just for Prime members?). Does an excellent job contextualizing the "Consciousness Movement" and the 70s cultural milieu as a backdrop to the experiences of the McKenna brothers, Robert Anton Wilson, and Philip K. Dick in particular. Great stuff if you don't mind wading through some high-falutin' discussions of hermeneutics, phenomenology, ontology and mnemetics (as a former grad student, I love it!).

The problem with shoegaze/dreampop/whatever is that the genre is so narrow it discourages creativity - everything sounds the same. But this here album from the irritatingly-yclept SWiiMS gets everything right. From the airy vox (reminding me of Choo Choo Train, no bad thing), through the brilliantly chiming guitars, to a drummer who knows his stuff and when to rein it in, 'Into The Blue Night' is something of a genre classic.

FT3 - I think I have to fold because of your Beach Boys "Strange World" call. For me - that starts a run of 4 BRILLIANT and BEAUTIFUL songs to close out the "That's Why God Made the Radio" album. The enduring genius of Brian Wilson's songwriting - even as of that 2012 album - just blows me away. And Bon Jovi apparently has a piece of the songwriting credit on "Summer's Gone" that closes out the album. What's the back story on that I wonder?
DeleteThen again, Roger McGuinn has a co-writing credit on Brian's immortal classic "Ding Dong" (entire lyric set: Ding! Dong! Whoo! (repeat). So, uh, yeah...
DeleteThames, you saw this?
Deletehttps://falsememoryfoam.blogspot.com/2019/06/the-sunset-album.html
I sued McGuinn and Brian to get my proper due, and royalties, from that classic. They put periods after the words, and I WAS THE ONE that said, NO NOT PERIODS! ITS !!!!! I won and got all of $3.50!!!!
DeleteTo be fair, OBG doesn't quote the entire lyric. Something along the lines of "I got a girl, she treats me so badly .." And it's Ding DANG, dagnabbit!!
DeleteFT3 - thanks for the link to your prior post on Brian. Your commentary was spot on.
DeleteRegarding "Ding Dang" - "I love a girl and I love her so madly / I treat her so fine but she treats me so badly"
Well, that settles it, then. Poet Laureate McGuinn was indeed required for those very fine lines of poetry, to rival any classic English literature has ever put forth...
DeleteDing DANG, the lyrics witch is dead...
BTW One Buck Guy - I enjoyed your write-up on Carl & The Passions "So Tough" on your One Buck Records blog and the curation you put together. I thought it worked very nicely.
DeleteAlso - I thought I read somewhere that Brian had another musical obsession (besides "Ding Dang") with "Shortenin' Bread" - where apparently he did a million different musical permutations of it over a number of years. Then he works through the obsession (or sets it aside) and creates some incredible new piece of music. Fascinating how that all works. His 2000 album "Live at The Roxy Theatre" is one of my favorite all time LIVE albums from anyone.

FT3 - these 2 albums you put together are both great! And the cover artwork you did for both fits like a glove. Thanks so much for reupping.
DeleteDo you think Brian has one more album in him? I sure hope so!
Thanks, Thames - a labour of love. I don't much mind if he's completely retired. His Me N' My Pianner album will make a swell coda.
DeleteI agree with you that if the solo piano album is it - it's a lovely way to finish things up.
DeleteI don't have a shred of musical talent - so I am forever fascinated with the musical creative process. In Brian's case, I would think this process is complicated by the mental health challenges he has faced. If he wants to record more music - great - I will always be interested in listening. But if it is not to be - we have a treasure trove of his past music we can enjoy in the meantime.
The Hoffmanites were especially Hoffmanesque in the thread devoted to that album: they hated the sound of it and they suspected cheating and skullduggery in the playing - it wasn't really him, because he can't play, and it was overdubbed, and so on.
DeleteWell, it sounds exactly like a real piano in a real room. It sounds like Bri is actually playing a piano in your house. This is fantastic. I like to wander out into the garden while it's playing and imagine Brian back in my house.
As to "trickery", Brian plays every note, and he said "I made it like I make all my records, overdubbing in the studio", which allows for some harmonies you wouldn't hear from a person playing the piano. Subtle and complex/simple, like the man.

DeleteYes please FT3, I'd appreciate that.
DeleteDid you upgrade, Farq?
DeleteBecause I also have this fab album from the island, and the sound isn't great. A little muffled, a bunch of crackles and some distortion issues, on the vamp section of "Take Me Away", if memory serves.
Not complaining, because that seems to be the best of what's out there it seems, but the transfer definitely wasn't top notch...
Wupes. Nope, that's all I gots. It's like an old album you pick up at a junk sale, and I don't mind that (never did).

And I am grateful in the meantime for the new sounds to experience. I am listening right now to the latest Dexter Gordon drop - Jesus! - just fabulous.
We have to thank Babs for the continued existence of th' IoF© since last August. Many of you have made comments and added links, but without her working tirelessly in the kitchen, keeping the shelves stocked with nutritious MREs, I think we'd have lost interest by now.

Wonderful player. I've had the Skyboat album for decades, but only discovered the McGavock Gayden album here in 2020. He's played on loads of albums, notably Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde, which lead to Bob Johnston recording Macs first solo album.
DeleteHe was also part of Barefoot Jerry, whose records I have, should youse bums be desirous.
DeleteWould love to see a Barefoot Jerry drop.
DeleteAlso - the Gayden/Dylan intersection - how interesting.
Time to inject some class in this place filled of useless bums. Walter "Wolfman" Washington was an iconic blues/soul guitarist from New Orleans, who's recording career starting in the 1950s. His career reached a high point during the late 80s-early 90s, when he recorded several albums for Rounder records, and appeared as a sideman on several more (including some classics by Johnny Adams). Walter died from a cancer bout earlier this year, but managed to record his epitaph beforehand. He wanted to make an album that featured more of his vocals and was reminiscent of late 50s Johnny Hartman recordings. Listen and I think you'll agree that he succeeded.
ReplyDeleteA few years after Katrina, Walter used to hang out at a neighborhood bar around the corner from where I had a place. He would nurse a drink, and play the video poker machines for hours. One night, I pulled up aa chair next to him, and he taught me his "system" on how to beat the machine. A few hours later, I was $50 to the good, and one hell of a lot wiser for having conversed with him about a lot more than just video poker.

Liquor in the front, hey?
DeleteThanks for this and the Norlins story.
There used to be a band around here called Liquor and Poker.
DeleteHe got the nickname Wolfman because for decades he was missing his 2 upper, front, teeth, so it gave him an exaggerated fang look; especially when he would pick his guitar strings with his teeth. Finallygot 2 implants which prompted him to give up the teeth picking.
DeleteThis "Wolfman" Washington album is fantastic. His rich, deep voice front and center. Really great stuff. Thanks so much for sharing it with us pmac!
DeleteHis second to last lp, My Future is My Past, is vary similar in style. He as probably about 10 other records, but they are much more in a blues vein. I can link up any or all if there is an interest.
DeleteCool story and music, thanks pmac!
DeleteSo... What was the system for beating the video poker machines? Inquiring minds want to know!
DeleteIt won pmac an ankle bracelet.
DeleteHis system was mostly intuitive. He had figured out algorhythms even before that term became a buzz word. As I recall, he was able to figure it out by analogyzing it to standard chord progressions. For a guy who didn't finish high school, he was very intelligent.
DeleteThe album surprised me. Quality shit.
DeleteMost of his other recordings are good, but not anything you haven't heard from others. But, he took a very different approach starting with his penultimate recording. That one was supposed to be released on the Newvelle Records label, but they got crosswise with each other (which is odd, because Walter never got angry as far as anyone who knew him could recall) and he ultimately did a self release. This last one was issued through Tipitina's Records; same people that own the music club in NO started a label that primarily issues sound board recordings from concerts they hosted. This is their second studio release. Tipitina's is owned by the members of the jazz/funk band, Galactic. Which is a story unto itself - they were owed tons of $ by the former owner of the club who stiffed them on what they were owed for a 4 night Halloween gig several years ago. They traded the debt for the club, and within less than 6 mos, the club was mothballed due to the Coronavirus. That is what led to the record label being formed - a way to generate needed revenue. The former owner died of a self infliced gunshot. Yeah, New Orleans......

DeleteZappa - Overnight Sensation 50th Anniversary edish:
ReplyDeletehttps://workupload.com/file/J9AVkQe2e6C
Yes, I know it's a good album, and it's probably Zappa's Dark Side, in that it opened up his global success tour/guitar star era, and lordy it dragged him out of the Turtles Of Invention mess, but I cannot love this album. Nothing after the music/music of Waka/Wazoo actually felt like it was already part of me. I admire the playing, but there's something cold about Zappa albums from here on in.
Listening to this for the first time in years, I haveta admit it's mostly freaking all RIGHT. I still don't dig it like the Real Mothers albums, but that's nitpicking.
DeleteI think this was Frank's best-selling album.
DeleteI thought so, too. Be prepared to be stunned, it's not even close (in terms of numbers):
Deletehttps://bestsellingalbums.org/artist/4399
... those figures look as if somebody just made them up.
Delete... and another site lists Apostrophe as "his most commercially successful album". Nobody knows nuthin'.
DeleteThinking about it, 'Dancing Fool' received large amounts of FM radio play.
DeleteThis 50th edish is packed with music/music. I'm a convert.
DeleteI have almost all the Ryko remasters, if any of Th' Four Or Five Guys have a request for any of the CDs.
DeleteLoving the Detroit gig part of Overnight Sensation 50th Anniversary, especially that early Yellow Snow suite, great stuff.
DeleteHere’s the tenth, and the last Supertramp album, that I have on SHM-CD.
ReplyDeleteSupertramp - ‘Free as a Bird’
Do drum machines, synthesized dance beats and rhythms belong on a Supertramp record? Not in my book, but it’s not all that bad. Sounds like it might have been a too much “Snow White” situation.

So, Babs, what do you make of the Band reunion albums of the early to mid 90s?
DeleteI have the first one, Jericho, and its a pretty good if slightly bland listen, but their version of "Blind Willie McTell" is a stunner...
The version they did of Atlantic City is also pretty good; but, otherwise I agree - "The B(l)and."
DeleteJericho isn't bad, just kind of meh.
DeleteIn the 80s when they were playing clubs, one night in Manhattan my friends and I sat about eight feet from Richard Manuel. He talked to us between songs and glugs of Grand Marnier.

So, this afternoon, I went for a followup visit to the oral surgeon. The good news is, he removed the stitches from where he drilled through the roof of my mouth to remove the median palatine cyst. More good news, I can eat solid (soft for now) foods again!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, while I was in an Uber cab on my way home, the driver decided to play some music. All of a sudden, there was the Humble Pie song “Hot 'n' Nasty” blasting at two-hundred decibels. The driver quickly turned down the volume, apologized, and said, “If you don’t this, I’ll change it.” I told him, “No, I like Humble Pie”, which surprised him. While listening to Smokin’ on the way home, I thought Th' Four Or Five Freeloading Guys might this.
So here's Humble Pies’ Smokin’ from 1972. This is the 2010 Analogue Productions SACD/Hybrid reissue, and it’s well, smokin’!
If you already have this, switch it out for this version. Your ears will thank you.

Steve Marriott was one of the wretchedest sons of bitches ever to grab a mic. Child star, based on nothing but planet-sized talent and charm, UK-conquering pop star fronting the Small Faces - what could go wrong? Bad management, bad luck, but mostly bad drugs. One of the greatest rock n' roll voices ever (technically a fine singer, not a shouter). The poor guy.
DeleteLoved that album when it was first released, especially their version of Roadrunner. But, my favorite of their's, and the only lp by them that I still listen to, is the follow-up to Smokin', Eat It. More of a soul, rnb, direction on that one, which really fits Marriott's vocals.
DeleteOh, and most importantly, glad you are on the mend, Babs!
DeleteThanks, pmac.

DeleteR.L. Boyce, a Mississippi hill country blues performer that one of the Dickinson's once called "the toastmaster general of hill country blues," died last week. He was 68. I first encountered R.L. at the Oxford Blues Festival in (I think) 2014. He was just a half step short of sloppy drunk & created on-the-spot an extended blues-rap extolling the virtues of an equally inebriated Yankee youth of maybe 22 who had provided the liquid fuel for R.L.'s rocket. I was sold, obviously. He was also a mainstay at the annual North Mississippi Hill Country Picnic in scenic Waterford MS. So for your amusement, here's R.L.'s last CD (which one of his relatives was peddling tent-to-tent at the picnic a few years ago). My copy is actually a CD-R; R.L. was pirating himself. It's called "Ain't Gonna Play Too Long," and most sane people will probably agree that the title is cause for Thanksgiving. Happy turkey day.

Kevin Gilbert was a musical artist who died by his own hand in 1996, the sad result of pioneering the auto-erotic asphyxiation fad (of which INXS frontman Michael Hutchence was a latecomer). Perhaps I will use this story to scare my grandson when he is a teenager, reminding him not to masturbate himself to death. By then he will know nothing of "rock", instead listening to DJ Chad GPT or some such.
ReplyDeleteWhat Kevin should be remembered for, aside from Sheryl Crow's Tuesday Night Music Club, is Toy Matinee.
Partnering with Patrick Leonard, Gilbert explores a wide variety of musical landscapes.

What's That Sound: The Complete Albums Collection restores the discography to how it was heard upon its original release. Whether it is the vinyl or CD release, it serves up both the stereo and mono versions of 1966's ‘Buffalo Springfield’ and 1967's ‘Buffalo Springfield Again’, along with the stereo version of 1968's ‘Last Time Around’.

George Harrison and Friends - ‘The Concert for Bangladesh’
ReplyDeleteThe Concert for Bangladesh was a pioneering charity event in aid of the homeless Bengali refugees of the Bangladesh Liberation War, and set the model for future multi-artist rock benefits.
The other day, I uploaded ‘The Last Waltz’, which has a lot in common with the ‘The Concert for Bangladesh’. Both were filmed for theatrical release, have an all-star lineup, blintzes (with sour cream) were served, as were piles of Bolivian marching powder, and Bob Dylan upstages everyone involved.
Along with George Harrison are, Ravi Shankar, Bob Dylan, Leon Russell, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Eric Clapton, Ali Akbar Khan, Alla Rakha, Kamala Chakravarty, Jesse Ed Davis, Klaus Voormann, Jim Keltner, Pete Ham, Tom Evans, Joey Molland, Mike Gibbins, Don Preston, Carl Radle, Jim Horn, Chuck Findley, Jackie Kelso, Allan Beutler, Lou McCreary, Ollie Mitchell, Claudia Lennear, Joe Greene, Jeanie Greene, Marlin Greene, Dolores Hall, and Don Nix.
Two minor quibbles, I wish Marty Scorsese made the film, and I’m not in love with Phil Spector “wall of sound” mix, it just doesn’t work well here.
https://we.tl/t-LOer2rF4pi
The beginning of the concert, when Shankar admonishes the applauding audience that his band had only undertaken the warm up (as opposed to an actual tune), still gets me. Concert was kinda snoring until Preston took the lead on one of his tunes.
DeleteI like how Ringo, the musicians and backing singers couldn't agree on what key, 'It Don't come easy' is in.
DeleteI forgot about that!
DeleteTo try to add sum kulthure to this place, here's a couple of manouche albums. Both feature the guitar/violin stylings of the blind, Belgian, musician, Tcha Limberger. Tcha performs in several bands, all of which primarily perform gypsy jazz music. Fortunate to have caught him perform live a couple of times. Both are in flac (lo siento, Farq).

DeleteJames Carter - ‘Chasin' the Gypsy’
This is saxophonist James Carter’s homage to Django Reinhardt. As a teenager in Detroit, Michigan, late at night, James first heard Django and Stéphane, on French language radio stations out of Canada. Upon, release, this album came as a surprise, as James is known mainly as a Post-Bop and sometimes Avant-Garde Jazz artist. What I like about this recording is that it is not a guitar album, with a guitarist trying to imitate Django. That said, guitarists Jay Berliner and Romero Lubambo are sublime. This album has excellent audio, and on the tracks James plays Bass saxophone, it will give your speakers a workout.
https://we.tl/t-CBMWc7U5EP
Had no idea Carter had dipped his toes into manouche. Berliner and Lubambo are excellent guitarists. Gracias, amiga.
DeleteAny of you well-upholstered Heads able to furnish me with the remaster of 'Remote Control' by the Tubes?

https://we.tl/t-DD05JbJQIr
And as an added bonus:
‘Blood On The Tracks’ (1981CBS Mastersound half-speed mastered version)
This is a vinyl rip of the half-speed master release, which is different to all the other releases of this album. Bob and Phil Ramone decided to speed up the original album by two percent in the mastering, so this version has slightly longer track times. Those of you freeloaders with “an ear” will notice the vocals are more nuanced, the acoustic guitar sounds fuller, the bass is plump and fuller and whole ambience is spacier
https://we.tl/t-BKXuRJtQMQ
... the soundstage is crisper, defined yet cohesive, while the mids exude a kirlian aura of organic resonance, the highs thrill the ear hairs with an effulgent clarity, and the lows possess a buttery, almost bovine richness of timbre!
DeleteBetter than genuine walnut vinyl veneer!
DeleteGenuine wood grain vinyl veneer. (I had to go read the sticker on my old stereo components to get it right)
DeleteWhat's the "right" speed is an interesting question. Consider Fats Domino...the records are sped up. Should we slow them down now to be more authentic? Lennon's vocal was sped up on several Beatles records. Should they be played slower? https://www.goldminemag.com/articles/fats-domino-sped-up-recordings-revealed
DeleteSome of Chuck Berry's songs were sped up as well by Chess to make him sound 'younger'...
DeleteBrian Wilson's vocals were sped up by his wonderful father, also to make him sound "younger". The original version of Caroline, No has a very different feel.
