In Remembrance
|
Bob and other music addicts (we know who you are. we just don't care). This is a group that my 25 yo nephew turned me on to about and hour ago. Close your eyes and imagine the smell of tequila and you'd swear that a young and innocent Janis had just walked out onto that stage! Damn these guys are good! Their first album (yeah, the old guy called it an album. so get up and dance kid ) is out this month called "Boys and Girls" From Athens Alabama lets give a big welcome to Alabama Shakes !!!!!!***********

Uncle Seymour Washington, the "walking blacksmith" (because he walked from farm to farm, shoeing horses) has his 87th birthday, and his neighbour, Townes Van Zandt, goes over and sings him a song - the first song that Townes ever wrote. This is the real thing - American neighbours. Makes it all worthwhile. God bless.

Bonnie Raitt, goddess of the slide guitar, and one of the finest human beings to ever stand on stage, is seen here mentoring the younger generation: in this performance it is Norah Jones, who responds with admiration towards Bonnie, and pure humbleness and affection.
As Phil Ochs said, “In a world brutalized by ugliness and horror, it is the creators of Beauty who are the true revolutionaries.” (Umm, URL caught in space-time warp; will get it here soon if the creek don't rise) OKAY: this should work: http://youtu.be/zzDUi_L6MzA Last edited by Bob Dawson; 04-09-2013 at 08:54 AM.

Rick,
Thank you greatly for the Alabama Shakes. That woman is among the very best, of all time, and if this group can keep their heads on straight despite the avalanche of fame and the emotional exhaustion of revealing your soul to the world, there is every reason for them to become famous. She is better than Janis Joplan, way better than Grace Slick - and those are singers I like. The Alabama Shakes are the real deal. I am prowling the net to download everything i can find by them, and i will sure be happy to actually pay for their first "album" when it comes out. Hey Ginnie, check out "You ain't alone." |

Americans are too uncultured to realize what a great culture they have. This video was recorded in France; throughout Europe, he is much more famous than in the U.S.A., and this is true of many American artists. Huge audiences abroad; neglected and forgotten in the U.S.A. Would America please hurry up and become a mature country?
It’s like when they asked Mao’s foreign minister, Chou En-lai, about the success of the American Revolution, he said, “It’s too early to tell.” People like to say America is finished; but it has barely just begun. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Two things about this song that knock my socks off: (1) Calvin Russell spent 15 years in maximum security prison. You know, drugs, armed robbery, that kind of thing. And then, he changed his own life, and as no one predicted, he followed the path from chaos to art. (2) This song lists his disasters, but it is a deeply felt love song… (“leaving you was my only mistake”) One road leads to paradise one road leads to pain one road leads to freedom but they all look the same Well I've traveled many roads And not all of them were good The foolish ones taught more to me Than the wise ones ever could One road led to sacrifice One road led to shame One road led to freedom But I swear, they all looked the same. And there are roads I never travelled And there are turns I did not take So many mysteries I could not unravel But leaving you, that was my only mistake. http://youtu.be/3kAF5Uh7SQs |

John Cooper Clarke.
Probably best known in the US by the use of his song "evidently chickentown" as the closing of the Sopranos episode stage five. Beasley Street, midnight shift, night people, he is in many respects England's forgotten and most underrated poet of the last 30 years, IMHO. Just buy/download "word of mouth - the very best of John cooper Clarke" and become immersed in his talent. Neil. |
