Gillian Welch - Time (The Revelator)

I had the opening guitar phrase going round in my head, but couldn’t work out who or what it was. In the end I scrolled through my record collection database and got it. A lovely album.

Finished listening to this thematically extreme album posted by @Deeg a couple of days ago

Not for the faint hearted in both content and presentation, but worth a second listen.

The unexpected shock of a play queue no time to re-adjust one’s thoughts whilst changing CD / vinyl / or streaming

The transition from the extremeness of Caligula immediately into this beautiful album

Saw Richard Thompson at Snape Maltings last night. Absolutely superb - just him, one accoustic guitar and his partner on harmonies. Trawled across his whole catalogue. In pared down mode made you realise he is not just a great guitarist but a brilliant songwriter too. This gorgeous recent song was new to me so streamed it this morning.

It’s a Grateful Dead day today so working my way though the fabulous ‘Golden Road 1965-1973’ boxset of GD albums that total 12xCDs :skull: :+1:

Garcia died in his room at the rehabilitation clinic on August 9, 1995, eight days after his 53rd birthday. The cause of death was a heart attack. Garcia had long struggled with drug addiction, weight problems, sleep apnea, heavy smoking, and diabetes—all of which contributed to his physical decline. Lesh remarked that, upon hearing of Garcia’s death, “I was struck numb. I had lost my oldest surviving friend, my brother.” Garcia’s funeral was held on August 12, at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Belvedere, California. It was attended by his family, the remaining Grateful Dead members, and their friends, including former pro basketball player Bill Walton and musician Bob Dylan. Deborah Koons barred some of Garcia’s former wives from the ceremony.
