Naturally -- :handgestures-thumbup: :handgestures-thumbup:

J.J. Cale

1971 Shelter Records

Naturally is the debut album by J. J. Cale. First released in 1971, it includes his song "After Midnight" which was first recorded by Eric Clapton in 1970. Cale, who was languishing in obscurity at the time, had no knowledge of Clapton's recording of "After Midnight" until it became a radio hit in 1970. Cale's friend and producer, Audie Ashworth, encouraged Cale to record a full album in order to capitalize on the success of his song. Naturally was recorded independently, "on spec", the musicians being paid demo fees. Some songs, such as "Call Me the Breeze", were recorded with primitive drum machine accompaniment and sound almost like demos. The album showcased Cale's distinctive, understated style, and it successfully established his solo recording career which continues to the present day. The album was originally released on Leon Russell's "Shelter" label, spawning the 1972 hits "Crazy Mama" (Billboard Hot 100 #22- his only Top 40 hit [1]) and "After Midnight" (#42) as well as turntable hits "Bringing it Back" (recorded by Kansas in their first album), "Call Me the Breeze" (later recorded by Lynyrd Skynyrd) and "Clyde" (later recorded by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, and a 1980 country hit for Waylon Jennings).

Re: Giving Thanks.....

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

 

[PaulyT]

Crap, I bought this like a year ago, and only now am getting around to watching/listening to it. It's really good! I love the addition of a full jazz trio (Marcus Roberts trio) to the Rhapsody in Blue - and other works as well. Roberts does a great job interpreting it in a jazz style. Classical purists may be offended, but I think it's entirely appropriate given that so much of esp. early jazz is based on Gershwin music.

Anyway, great video, great music, and great combo of classical and jazz.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme :handgestures-thumbup: :handgestures-thumbup:

Simon and Garfunkel

1966 Columbia Records 2 eye

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme is an album by Simon & Garfunkel, released in the United States on October 10, 1966. Its name comes from the second line of the album's first track, "Scarborough Fair/Canticle", an English folk song from the 16th century, paired with a counter-melody and text about a soldier. It peaked on the U.S. charts at #4. The album was produced by Bob Johnston as Columbia Records LP CL 2563 (mono); CS 9363 (stereo); CD CK 9363; Remastered CD CK 66001.

"Homeward Bound" – appearing as the fourth song in the American version – was excluded from the album upon its release in the United Kingdom, since it had already appeared on the UK release of Sounds of Silence.

The album can be seen as having a protest element in it: the closing song, "7 O'Clock News/Silent Night" featured an the overlaid sound of a news bulletin describing murders and the calling out of the National Guard in the United States, containing also clips from a news broadcast about the Vietnam War.[1] Based on the fact that the broadcast carries the news of the death of comedian Lenny Bruce that day, it can be dated from August 3, 1966.

Candy-O bscene-drinkingcheers:

The Cars

1979 Elektra Records

The album cover was painted by artist Alberto Vargas, known for his paintings of pin-up girls that appeared in Esquire and Playboy magazines in the 1940s and 1960s. The idea to hire Vargas came from drummer David Robinson, the band's artistic director and a collector of pin-ups. The 83-year-old Vargas had retired several years earlier but was persuaded to take the assignment by his niece, who was a fan of The Cars. The painting, depicting a girl sprawled across the hood of a car, was based on a photo shoot directed by Robinson at a Ferrari dealership.

The model, coincidentally named Candy, briefly dated Robinson afterward. Candy-O is the second studio album by the American rock band The Cars, released in 1979.

So much music, so little time. I've started playing all my records at 45rpm, this should enable me to listen to a couple extra albums a day! :banana-rock: :banana-dance:

Romantic Warrior

Return To Forever

1976 Columbia Records

Amazon.com

Originally released in 1976, Return To Forever's Romantic Warrior could be described as the high-water mark of jazz fusion's commercial popularity, reaching a spot on the Billboard charts and garnering the group a fanatical following of fans attracted to the band's technical prowess and bombast. Released on the heels of the breakup of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Romantic Warrior still sounds like a standard-bearer for jazz fusion, full of flashy solos and complicated arrangements that seem like collages of different moods, meters, and tempos. The album is much closer to the progressive rock of Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, or King Crimson than anything from the jazz realm. Return to Forever's rhythm team of bassist Stanley Clarke and drummer Lenny White, who gives the group a subtly funkier sound than most of their contemporaries. Still, it's pianist Chick Corea, using a veritable arsenal of keyboards and effects, and guitarist Al DiMeola, only 21 at the time of this recording, who define Romantic Warrior as a fusion landmark. --Ezra Gale

1. "Medieval Overture" (Corea) – 5:14
2. "Sorceress" (White) – 7:34

1979 MCA Records

The Kids Are Alright is a soundtrack album by British rock band The Who, as a companion to the band's documentary film of the same name.[1]

It was originally released as a double album in June 1979 on Polydor Records in the United Kingdom and MCA Records in the United States. The performance of "My Wife" was from a concert The Who filmed for The Kids Are Alright at the Gaumont State Cinema in Kilburn; however the footage was not used in the film. That show was later restored for DVD and released as The Who At Kilburn: 1977 in 2008. "Tommy Can You Hear Me" had a longer outro with Roger Daltrey repeating the word "Tommy" before Keith Moon screams "'ELLO" to end the song. The soundtrack album did well in the US and peaked at Number 8 on the Billboard album chart and went Platinum whilst it peaked at a disappointing Number 26 on the UK charts.

This review is from: Live (Audio CD)

If you weren't there on September 29, 1980 to see Toots and the Legendary original Maytals, then you missed out, but don't feel bad, one of the best live recordings in reggae history exists of that concert. I wasn't even alive to see that show, but I have had this record for about ten years now and it is one of my absolute favorites. Toots and the Maytals run through an amazing set of classic favorites like "Pressure Drop", "54-46" and "Funky Kingston." Toots and his Maytals play an electrifying set of classic reggae standards played with the urgency and beauty of true musical revolutionaries. The original recording was enhanced and re-mastered and here its re-released for all of you who missed the show. This is the sound of Toots and the original Maytals, riding the heights of their international popularity: listen and be awed at the incredible vibe of their spiritual energy.

This review is from: Funkology: Definitive Dazz Band (Audio CD)

With the exception of a few fine albums in the early 1980's
Motown's electro funkers The Dazz Band were more or less a
singles act and in classic Motown traition they've got some great ones.And here they are-the slinkily percussive "Let It Whip",the mechanical "Joystick","Swoop I'm Yours","Keep It Live"
and one GEM everyone missed-1981's vital "Let The Music Play"-
kinda finds the group between JT Taylor-like Kool & The Gang
and vintage P-Funk-BEFORE they added that electro funk groove.It's a whole other side of the Dazz Band,sadly represented elsewhere here by lesser ballad material.A selection of decent newer material is also included-including a
modern house-funk remix of greatest hits.Unless you already own the bands early records this is all the Dazz Band you'll ever
need-and you NEED it!

Havana Daydreamin' -- CD :handgestures-thumbup:

Jimmy Buffett

1976/1990 MCA Records

Laid Back Buffett, January 10, 2001
By
Thomas Magnum (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)

This review is from: Havana Daydreamin (Audio CD)

Havana Daydreamin' is probably the most laid back, easy going album in the Jimmy Buffett catalog. Songs like the title track, "Defying Gravity", "This Hotel Room", "Something So Feminine about a Mandolin" and "The Captain & The Kid" just sort of float along like a breezy afternoon. Despite the breezy feel there are some songs that disrupt the leisurely pace. "Big Rig" rocks like a semi and "Cliches" as the title suggests is a witty song with some great lines. "My Head Hurts, My Feet Stink & I Don't Love Jesus" is not only one of the best song titles in history, but the best song ever written about a hangover.

Side A:

1. "Woman Goin' Crazy on Caroline Street" (Jimmy Buffett, Steve Goodman) – 4:08
2. "My Head Hurts My Feet Stink and I Don't Love Jesus" (Jimmy Buffett) – 2:35
3. "The Captain and the Kid" (Jimmy Buffett) – 3:16
4. "Big Rig" (Greg "Fingers" Taylor) – 3:30
5. "Defying Gravity" (Jesse Winchester) – 2:41

Side B:

1. "Havaña Daydreamin'" (Jimmy Buffett) – 3:38
2. "Cliches" (Jimmy Buffett) – 2:45
3. "Something So Feminine About a Mandolin" (Jimmy Buffett, Jane Slagsvol) – 3:32
4. "Kick It in Second Wind" (Jimmy Buffett, Jane Slagsvol) – 3:56
5. "This Hotel Room" (Steve Goodman) – 3:07
