What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.VIII)

Posted by: Richard Dane on 29 December 2011

With 2012 almost upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread.  I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.

 

Anyway, links:

WInky,

 

Good choices. There are so many stand out tracks. I think Bob Dylan is in fine form on this LP.

I haven't listened to this in years. I remember listening to the  broadcast of this concert on the radio in 1976. A very well recorded live concert and great performances from The Band, Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters, Dr John, Ronnie Hawkins amongst others.

 

Sounds just great on my system.

Steve,

I would think you must have loads of brilliant albums you have not played for years in your very large vinyl collection?

The shut eyes open the book and stick a pin in works for me at times when i want something to play.

Stu.

I love this LP

 

One of my favorite lines is when Neil Diamond says "I'm just gonna play one song.  But I'm gonna play it GOOD"

Otherwise, Dorian and Early Music is quite complicated together, it's a nice exception.

This was a side project headed by Donald Fagen while Steely Dan were on a bit of a sabbatical in 1991.  Donald Fagen, Boz Scaggs, Phoebe Snow and Micheal McDonald got together to perform a series of shows backed by an outstanding 16 person backing band. The shows were properly recorded and the "best", is here. Certainly the tracks here impress and are highly recommended to any Steely Dan fans. Overall think smooth jazz rock and soul in the vein of Steely Dan and Micheal McDonald recorded superbly well.
