STELLAR RECORDINGS

Easily in my Top 20 of all time. I had read that Paul wanted to sing this, and there was some fighting before LV were recorded by Art; this wasn't mentioned in this video.


And, oddly, BOTW is NOT a stellar recording, at the end there's a lot of what sounds like overloaded preamps in the signal chain, especially the strings at the very end. And the old-timey reverbs didn't help. One song I'd love to hear re-done with modern tech, if they only could transfer the stellar vocals in a convincing way.
Still, if this record doesn't make the hair on your arms stand up, well....
 
If you want to hear a stellar recording of BOTW, check out Josh Groban and Brian McKnight performing it in David Foster's first "Hit Man" show.
 
Norman Greenbaum, The Professor of Rock, a prototype Fuzztone pedal, a low-budget gospel chorus, and goats.


This video made me so, so happy. PoR had been trying to find this guy for ten years, finally did via Kenny Loggins (!!), and the interview was so cool for music nerds like me. I've cranked this record every time I heard it for, what, 40 years?

EDIT: Aaand I just realized this riff is also very prominent in a certain tune from that little 'ol band from Texas.... La Grange.
