Been listening to the most recent Richard Thompson album, Dream Attic. It's a live album - all-new material recorded with a band. I wasn't bowled over by it. Some good songs. But not a stand-out for him. But maybe I get so familiar with an artist, sometimes, that I get a bit jaded.

Have to disagree about his live performances. Whether solo acoustic, or full band performances, they're always great. I saw him do a solo acoustic show in Toronto a few years ago that was simply superb. His guitar-playing is just jaw-droppingly great!

I'm a huge fan of June Tabor, too! She is equally superb doing versions of traditional folk material, as she is doing covers of contemporary stuff. One of my favorite albums of hers is A Quiet Eye - and it features two RT songs (Waltzing's For Dreamers and Pharoah). One of the UK's great song-interpreters.

Good shout Manji. I haven't got this yet but there's some killers on there.
The Stone Fox Chase tune is fantastic and has been effectively sampled many times (Sure Beats Workin is my favourite).

I've been having a bit of a splurge on this stuff lately and if you're enjoying the Soul Jazz compilation try checking out 'Ton Ton Macoute' by Johnny Jenkins (this includes the version of 'I Walk on Gilded Splinters' that was sampled by Oasis and Beck) which features Duane Allman.
Also worth serious investigation is 'Push Push' by legendary flautist Herbie Mann, again featuring Duane Allman.

Glyn Johns (engineer) worked really hard putting together an acceptable LP from all that material. He presented at least two versions of the album to the band. They couldn't agree on either. The project was left incomplete for several months until Lennon took charge of getting the thing done. He gave the tapes to Phil Spector.

The original concept of Let It Be (the album) was to record the band as they used to play in the earliest days - live and without overdubs. Perhaps Spector was unaware of this idea; anyway, he overdubbed orchestra and choir on a few tracks. Paul McCartney was appalled at what Spector did with The Long and Winding Road. But to be honest, the band had pretty much washed their hands of the whole thing and Spector was given cart blanche - or. at least, left unmonitored as he put together an album.

Saw this comment underneath :- My Dad was a musician for his whole life and unfortunately passed away over ten years ago, This was the final song at his funeral and the coffin was not taken out of the church until the song was over and stay was just finishing. My Mum chose the song and still to this day I get comments that it was the most fitting and best chosen song to tell friends and family about his life. I could not listen to it for a couple of years after, but I could not stay away, Its part of my life:)

I remember seeing an interview with Sir George Martin, he said that Abbey Road was such a great album because they realised they messed up Let it Be (or Get back as it was originaly known as). He said that although it was never said everyone including him knew it would be the last time they worked together and therefore wanted to go out on a high.There was a tribute to Sir George that aired on BBC 4 the other night, and he came across as quite upset, even after all these years, about being "frozen out" of the Let it Be final production. It could have been a great album, but if you listen to Sir George that may have meant no Abbey Road.

Such a shame the film was so sad in parts, particulary when Harrison and Macartney go at each other. They could still work together and have fun even as late as '68.

Late for the Sky is my absolute favourite album of all time. I still play it a hell of a lot. In fact it is in my car CD player as we speak. Never get fed up with it.

[dubai_phil]

This one has caused a few ripples across the pond...

I also had a moment as well - sat there in shock to see Brains from Thunderbirds is still alive and well and now has a singing career

When Gaga's not playing every night....
(My GF told me to say that)

But actually Gaga is gonna be the club/radio/party album of this summer.

It sure has me sitting here wanting to get Euro-poppy/techno smashed dance like fat old man stylee with a bit of Scotty country influence in it... Yeah haven't worked that out but it works.

[Hamilton Saint]

Late for the Sky is my absolute favourite album of all time. I still play it a hell of a lot. In fact it is in my car CD player as we speak. Never get fed up with it.

I'm listening mostly to his recent stuff now. The album that documents his separation from Daryl Hannah, I'm Alive is excellent - a great collection of songs. I think it's his best of recent times. Of the early stuff, my favourite song is Something Fine (it's from his very first LP). It's the combination of guitar work, singing and song. Perfect!

[Hamilton Saint]

And I've been listening to Paul Simon's latest - So Beautiful and So What - constantly. It's brilliant! Even better than his last (the collaboration with Brian Eno). Here he co-produces with Roy Hallee - who goes back to the S&G days. One of the songs on here - The Afterlife - is superb!

[dubai_phil]

The rediscovering of my really old album collection continues. Tonight the GF found Tom Jones Reload from '99


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn17aYhXudA

She's listening to that and going OMG what a great song. I answer Whadda expect it's Van Morrison, and I get - who? Ah bless

Some great duets on that, especially the Van Morrison one.

The great news is found a whole bunch of my old cassette tapes today. Back in about 84 they made fake tapes illegal here and they got sold off at about 10p each think we all bought about 200 each. Seemed to have about 50 or so left time to dig out an old cassette player, can't play them in the car this time of year they melt! At the time we bought anything by anyone who sounded like we might have once heard of them, a really weird mix from M People through Scorpions to Johnny Cash - lol

OK I've mentioned we became American Idol fans.

They had their season finale last night.

2 hour show OK it's hype & pure brutal marketing of new albums/singles/movies/books American stylee but hell for a TV show what a line up they had. The last 4 finalists got to sing with superstar surprises as well as even bigger surprises coming on and doing new singles and stuff.

Then in no particular order Casey Edwards who came 5th doing Queen with Jack Black?? which must become a legendary moment


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEm9yeeM1Io

Respect Jack Black holding his own Rocking in front of about a zillion TV audience. Then hell I forget Gladys Knight, Beyonce, Gaga, Tony Bennett, Bono & Edge, Tom Jones, Marc Anthony with J-Lo doing this mamma dance routine, TLC, Stephen Tyler (awesome Dream On), Carrie Underwood (phwoar), Tim McGraw (C&W) and my favourite rocker of the series getting this moment with

Judas Priest....


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9USyQWzUcUI&NR=1

But the 17 year old kid that won it Scotty. Jeez he really is gonna be some massive C&W star now and besides actually being a real person (shocked by the fact that he was working in a Grocery store a year ago to that) he has one muvva of a voice.

Worth suttling around to listen to some of his covers during the season

I remember doing a radio interview with Long John Baldry shortly after she died and asking him about her. He said he was impressed by her voice but found her material rather "twee". I was rather annoyed with the comment, but got a little dig in at him later when I referred to his brief stint as a "housewives' choice"-style of pop singer in the late 60s. [Remember Let the Heartaches Begin?] He wasn't too thrilled with me bringing that up!

I remember seeing LJB as part of "Steam Packet" supporting Chuck Berry at The Gaumont (now Mayflower) in the late 60`s. They were quite a line up:-

Long John Baldry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_John_Baldry) - vocals
Rod Stewart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Stewart) - vocals
Julie Driscoll (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Driscoll) - vocals
Brian Auger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Auger) - Organ
Vic Briggs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vic_Briggs) - guitar
Richard Brown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Brown) - bass guitar
Micky Waller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micky_Waller) - drums
and he was quite credible blues singer in those days. He did rather sell out after "Let the Heartaches......." As for Sandy Denny being "twee"....anyone who read this :- http://www.amazon.co.uk/No-More-Sad-Refrains-Times/dp/1900924358 will find a rather complicated sometimes very sad personality. I find nothing "twee" in any of her music and a voice that will be remembered for a long, long time. Incidently, this has just been released and it getting some fine reviews :- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ebbets-Field-Fairport-Convention-Sandy/dp/B004N06E3K

Yes, what an amazing line-up that was!

Well, to give LJB his due, after his brief flirtation with the "big time" as an Engelbert Humperdinck-styled pop singer, he returned to the Blues. In 1971 he put out a great LP called It Ain't Easy - one side produced by Rod Stewart, the other side produced by Elton John. It featured the amusing lead-off track "Don't Try to Lay No Boogie Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll".

BTW, Long John Baldry became a Canadian in the late 70s. He lived near Hamilton first and then went out to the west coast.

I can't believe I just sat through, ( well, skipped through ), that racist supremacist claptrap, ( and you are aware that there are at least 3 separate songs in there ).

And as for the diatribe at the end, ( I have tried to copy the grammer as it is presented ) :
"Rhodesia. Once a friendly, civilised nation. Built by brave men of good quality. It was threatened by Britain, USA, and small nations with stupid politicians, like Sweden who was in the front to create a black communist banana republic of Rhodesia.

Rhodesia was defended by brave men of good quality, but they lost.

Zimbabwe.
A result of support from former super power, communist Soviet Union, communist China, communist North Korea, socialist Sweden and other nations with unresponsible politicians and governments of poor quality."

Not at all surprised that you 'love' it.

6.30 mins is a superb song. Really catchy. An Afrivision winner IMO.

[Hamilton Saint]

Yes. I have both series on DVD. They are both superb example of documentary story telling. Didn`t he also do the "Story of Jazz" series?

Yes. It's called simply Jazz. I enjoyed it immensely, but it got savaged by some jazz critics, who thought it too conservative in its approach. They objected to the excessive reliance on the views of Wynton Marsalis and the lack of attention to many modern sub-genres of jazz. And the last fifty years of jazz history was glossed over in the very last episode of the ten-part series.
