My folks are listening to Paul McCartney's Kisses On The Bottom. Boy is it horrendous. Did you know he used to be in The Beatles?

Lots of greats of the mid-late 60's have fallen so far. But none like McCartney. For the man who wrote "She's Leaving Home", "Eleanor Rigby", and "The Fool On the Hill" to be putting this stuff out there -- or, really, anything of his post-Beatles, is just inexcusable. I do like the video for "My Valentine" with Natalie Portman and Johnny Depp, though. But, that might be because it has Natalie Portman in it.

Many of the old rockers have tried to get into the crooner or Great American Songbook style and failed--Rod Stewart anyone?
Otis Redding
Surrealistic Pillow
I hadn't listened to it in maybe over a year. Just, wow.
And I was right when I was 14; if only due to a couple of songs, Grace Slick deserves to be on the very short list of greatest rock singers of all time.

Saw them at the daytime free concert in Chicago 1969. She has never gotten as much credit as she is due.

Such a great album (as opposed to a few songs dropped into a bucket of slop).

I need to go through them all again soon.

Somebody left it in the CD player of the rental car I had the other day. Brings back memories...albeit a little fuzzy.

Old Man, you've seen some epic shows. Ever seen Hendrix or Quicksilver MS? I have the feeling if we locked you in a hotel room for three days with a tape recorder, a case of wine, and a couple of blunts we'd have one hell of a book when it was all said and done.
As far as the Airplane, Volunteers was always my favorite. I did see Hot Tuna once...Jorma was ripping it up.

Woody Allen, The Nightclub Years EMI, out-of-print, international CD recording. The highest quality, unedited, capture of his three legendary recorded performances (one in '64, one in '65, one in '68) available.
The *rumor* is that he has begun working on new material. That would be... just wow. IMO, the best standup of all time. Not just because of "the moose".

Bravo.

No, but my best friend did see Hendrix in Chicago--I could kill him even today for not inviting me. However see below for another coup in my eyes.

It's shameless bragging time. I saw Woody Allen, with my best friend, on the last tour he ever did. It was at the rotating circle-in-the-round theatre at Mill Run Theatre in Niles IL. He opened it up to questions at one point and I asked what his was currently working on--It was Love And Death. I still tell people of his style, the way he worked, and the occasional nervous laughter in the room. It was great.
My friend and I were under age but we did score some booze at the bar at intermission--Cold Duck!
The opening act was Jim Croce, just him on acoustic with another acoustic player who played lead. Wasn't a fan of his music, but it was very nice.
Side note--His widow, Ingrid Croce, was a brave pioneer of San Diego's Gas Lamp section. When she opened Croces, it was pretty much her place, some porn shops and x-rated theatres, and a lot of board up windows. Jump to today and the area is a major tourist attraction.
- Charley Pride & George Jones...various favorites.
The great, great Charlie Haden. The album Sophisticated Ladies. It features Quartet West who he's played on and off with for 25 years. 6 tunes are instrumetals, but each of the other 6 feature a "sophisticated lady" such as Cassandra Wilson, Norah Jones, Melody Gardot (!) and his wife, Ruth Cameron.
A dream in the evening, the background for a cocktail party or an album for two lovers to share--it's all that a more.

Took my wife's car to be serviced yesterday, and Melody Gardot was playing on her iPod.
I must admit, it does put one in the mood.

Focus on the word, serviced.

Based upon your comments I had to seek her out. I'd never heard of her before, but I must say I get your point. I've got a three hour drive with my wife later today and I'm thinking I'll put this on in the car and see what develops.

Add a bottle of Jacques Selosse and you will be well pleased.
