I recently discovered as a result of a previous post in another thread, that part of one of my favorite albums from back in the day, There Goes Rhymin’ Simon, was recorded at the studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. That caused me to go back and listen to the album, and I’ve remembered how creative and unique it was.
A couple of examples (edit to say the first was probably recorded in Muscle Schoals, and the second was probably not):
The guy’s a genius.
Did you ever see this low budget movie? I remember it to be quite good. Steve Gadd also stars in it.
Has there ever been a more talented group of musicians & song writers in one band?
Sticky Fingers- Rolling Stones
Never a Dull Moment- Rod Stewart
Cosmo’s Factory- CCR
Sgt. Peppers- The Beatles
The Buddy Holly Story- Buddy Holly and the Crickets
Pink Floyd “Pulse”
Beatles “Abby Road”
Niel Diamond “Stones”
Eric Clapton “Live Blues”
Bob Seger “Live Bullet”
Dave Grohl covers Jump
I’m such a Jeff Lynne fan. There was a televised ELO concert in England I believe recently. But how cool is Roy Orbison? – right down to the voice. The guy screams cool. Wouldn’t want his life though. So much tragedy. Not sure I could’ve overcome it.
I’ve been listening to Dave’s autobiography Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music. If I could have lunch with any celebrity, it would be him. He has great stories, and he seems like a really down-to-earth, great guy (with massive talent).
This was so interesting for me to watch. It was the first time I’d ever seen the Beatles in the creative process like this. Fascinating.
Black Pumas were at The Depot last night. This guy has a GREAT voice & stage presence.
James Taylor’s Christmas album. My favorite song is here.
My favorite Christmas song.
If anyone is forcing you to listen to Christmas music, consider Norah Jones bluesy take on some classics as well as some new ones. She is very easy on the ears.
I always liked this Christmas song. The Monkees singing a cappella
Bad Religion put out a surprisingly awesome punk Christmas album a few years back. Nothing fancy, just straight up traditional Christmas songs done in that style. It’s fantastic.
Bright Eyes and Low are both terrific and highly acclaimed bands but their Christmas albums are often overlooked. Two of my favorite Xmas albums.
I don’t listen to Kenny G and don’t own any of his recordings. If I ever do hear his music it’s because he happens to be on the car radio while I have it on and I’m thinking about something else. Still, I found this piece to be pretty interesting. I might watch the HBO documentary.
