What are you listening to right now? (VOL I)

For the grayness outside.

disc 2

One if those albums one tries rather to overlook for fear of over-familiarity, given the sheer genius held within. I'm weak, what can I say?

Never knew she had jazz leanings. However her big single Forget Me Not was one of the biggest chart hypes of the late 70's. Pluggers were giving away more free copies to record shops than the shops were buying from Warners.

Gallup used to run a chart diary which was picked up every Saturday pm. The record companies weren't supposed to know but of course all the shops who had diaries told the record comp. reps. That meant that every Sat am they would come in and ask for such and such an artist to be given a little boost. Then they would give you boxes of albums, concert tickets, teashirts etc etc etc. Basically that meant writing the record catalogue number into the chart diary to give the impression that you sold more. Queen, Fleetwood Mac and a whole host of big artists gained from it.

Funny how many times you hear samples of Forget Me Not in other songs nowadays

Mrs JWM and I listened to it on Wednesday night, and we have to concur with Peter - this is extraordinarily good. A real insight into prime period Shakey in the raw.

Highly recommended.

Haven't given my copy a listen yet but it was always a favourite boot of mine.

Yep.
I was surprised how early this release was. IIRC, 73?

I remember and was impressed with her playing in Lee Ritenour's Direct to Disc LP ( remember that? ) on a JVC label.

Then she went all pop.

This was a nice second hand record shop find.

Beautiful record.

Right that's mine on order

Dave Gilmour ,The Island perfect for Sunday morning !

Monti Amundson - I See Trouble.

I don't know why this isn't the world's top selling CD. Thanks to Alco for the tip.

Waiting on Neil Young - Massey Hall too.
In the meantime ... Tres Chicas - Sweetwater

Gentle voices for early Sunday morning.

SteveGa - Haven't heard Avalon Sunset in yonks - must dig it out - perfect for a Sunday.

Meanwhile I'm still taken by Norah Jones' latest album - some great stuff on there & one of my favourites at the moment.

Had a mate round for a meal tonight who was telling me about his son coming home singing a "crazy song about a lobster", cue reaching into the vinyl archive for this classic. Not a duff track on it. If you have a copy, dust it down and let your feet go.
