6704. MIdnight Oil - Lost at Sea

-
Image
From: Resist ; Year: 2022; Genre: Alternative Rock Sadly, I found out that one of members of my absolute favourite Aussie band passed away. Drummer/songwriter/and player of many other instruments Robert Hirst succumbed to an ordeal with pancreatic cancer. Can I just state that I hate cancer about as much as someone can hate something; so many that I know and love and look up to have died from it... sigh. That damned disease also took their bassist Bones Hillman about six years ago as well, so yeah.... Anyway, wot caught my most by surprise was that he was 70 years old. I never realized that the members of the band are that old; they've always had a massive amount of energy and passion that easily could pass for performers half their age or younger. Robert Hirst was a founding member and a main songwriter for the band over the years. This is one of the three songs that he received writing credits for on the their latest studio album: Resist . The music is very much in their wheelho...

6705. Herbie Hancock - Fat Albert Rotunda

-
Image
From: Fat Albert Rotunda ; Year: 1969; Genre: Jazz Fusion I haven't the foggiest as to why, but whenever I get the urge to listen to something by Herbie Hancock I immediately gravitate to his Fat Albert Rotunda record. I mean, I love other albums of his just as much or more, but this one just seems to always just "go with mood, vibe, etc." It was just one of those collections of music that seemingly encompassed most sensibilities. I mean, it is extremely technical and if you like complex music, then it'll work for you, or if you like jazz that is more "accessible" or something to just enjoy in the background, it is equally as good in those aspects. You know, I cannot remember hearing anyone say they do not like Herbie Hancock's music.... Anyway, this is obviously the title-track and fits the above description. From wot I understand this record and song were used for the primetime cartoon special:  Hey, Hey, Hey, It's Fat Albert , which, in turn, led...

6703. Heart - Dog & Butterfly

-
Image
From: Dog & Butterfly ; Year: 1978; Genre: Folk Rock In my opinion this one of the Wilson sister's best songs they wrote. It reminds me a lot of Joni Mitchell from around the same era; whilst the music is more rock oriented and less jazzy just the way they weave the symbolism of dealing with personal struggles likened to the dog relentlessly trying to catch what is out of reach. It is very similar in the way Joni Mitchell compared her playing guitar to jets flying in the air in her song Amelia and the predatory nature of the proverbial  Coyote to that of a man in a bar trying to "score." I just love it when master songwriters, like Anne and Nancy Wilson confront a serious subject with some light-hearted whimsy; just makes for something special.   Hear Dog & Butterfly on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Alan Parsons Project - Lucifer     My song pick 2 years ago today: Midnight Oil - At the Time of Writing   My s...

6706. Shocking Blue - Love Buzz

-
Image
From: At Home ; Year: 1969; Genre: Psychedelic Rock I have always been of the opinion that Shocking Blue is one of those bands that, as the late-great comedian  Rodney Dangerfield was so fond of saying: "They Don't Get No Respect." Just a band that you can tell is boiling over with musical talent and ideas that while did get famous, for wotever reason, they never got up to where they should've been. This one is a great example: a great low fidelity piece of bluesy psychedelia with some very experimental sounds, mostly Robby Van Leeuwen's guitar playing and his playing of the sitar, which is quite a difficult instrument to play even at a novice level. Of course, Mariska Veres' vocals and presence on the vocals are one of the best qualities of the band.    Hear Love Buzz on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Jethro Tull - Curious Ruminant     My song pick 2 years ago today: 3 Doors Down - Loser   My song pick 3 years ago to...

6702. Nirvana - The Man Who Sold the World

-
Image
From: MTV Unplugged in New York ; Year: 1994; Genre: Alternative Rock/Grunge Do not know why, but was thinking about this cover written and recorded by David Bowie from Nirvana's landmark "Unplugged" performance.  It has been said that they really made their cover good enough to be thought of as an original to those who did not know much about music from prior generations. For me, Kurt Cobain's vocals remind me that of R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe, which is a great thing in my opinion.   Watch the '93 Unplugged performance on YouTube.        My song pick 1 year ago today: Cameo - Use It Or Lose It     My song pick 2 years ago today: Wishbone Ash - Living Proof   My song pick 3 years ago today: Crosby, Stills & Nash - Guinnevere   My song pick 4 years ago today: Yellow No 5 - Everything Cherries   My song pick 5 years ago today: Pallas - Blood and Roses   My song pick 6 years ago today: Faith No More - Zombie Eaters   My son...

6707. Jefferson Starship - Hyperdrive

-
Image
From: Dragon Fly ; Year: 1974; Genre: Progressive Rock I wanted to go back and listen to something from Jefferson Starship for whatever reason, so here's one off of their debut album after the band re-emerged under the "Starship" name. Although, unofficially, the 1970 Paul Kantner album Blows Against the Empire was technically the first time you actually saw it under the name Paul Kantner and Jefferson Starship . Anyway, this is one of those songs that is pure beauty all around. I still cannot comprehend why Grace Slick didn't get to perform more of the lead vocals; she is only lead on three tracks, this being, of course, one of them. I suppose I have always been an avid fan of hers as a songwriter, musician and vocalist; she is the full package. One of the biggest and best parts of this song is Papa John Creach's violin playing; it's just adds that beauty that really pushes their music's emotions over the top.   Hear Hyperdrive on YouTube.         My so...

1691 The Foggy Mountain Boys (Flatt & Scruggs) - Cripple Creek

1691 The Foggy Mountain Boys (Flatt & Scruggs) - Cripple Creek From: Foggy Mountain Banjo , Year: 1961 Genre: Bluegrass Yesterday I found out that legendary musician Earl Scruggs passed away. The two songs most would probably remember from Flatt & Scruggs would be " The Ballad of Jed Clampett " (the theme from the Beverly Hillbillies ), which can be heard here on YouTube ; and Foggy Mountain Breakdown (from the film Bonny and Clyde ); it can be heard here on YouTube . Anyway, after hearing about his death I was remembering a lot of his music, which I was mostly exposed to through my grandfather. He was a big fan of Flatt & Scruggs, Bill Monroe, and bluegrass in general. This was the first song he taught me to play on the banjo many, many years ago. Here is a recording on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Queensrÿche - Fear City Slide My song pick two years ago today: Dream Theater - Light Fuse and Get Away My song pick three years ago today: The Doors - Gh...
