You are right she did have a relationship with Joe Morello but after divorcing Jimmy (McPartland) in 1970 their relationshship endured as they lived together in Long Island and remarried shortly before his death from lung cancer in 1991. She often quipped their original divorce “was a failure.”
For a decidedly non whiplash type drum solo but superbly well recorded drums I suggest Clarksdale 61-49 (track 13) from the Up Jumped the Devil album, it’s as if having the drums in my living room.
Album is also available at BandCamp.
…“This is some of the best sounding drum sound I have ever heard on a recording. Very dynamic and not reserved. The sound of the double bass is full, rich and powerful where needed but with no hint of bloat. And the guitar…It is clear and reverberant. Naturally, not with added reverb. Of course, the vocals are captured beautifully. Carmen is right there in front of you. This recording doesn’t take you to the recording studio. Even better, it brings the recording studio to your listening room. Very few studio recordings do this. The drums to the left, Carmen in the middle in front of the instruments and the bass just to the right of her and the guitar to the right side of the soundstage. The sound is totally three dimensional. You almost feel like you can reach out and touch everyone. The sound is totally open with natural decay and depth. It is stunning. It really is. No hyperbole.”…Joe Whip
