Elvis at Stax
After recently replaying In The Basement (their second and as far as I know, sadly last album), I went digging through the CD cases to find their first:
The Pharoahs Awakening
A fantasy gig of mine is to have seen Pharoahs and Art Ensemble of Chicago on the same bill. Sigh.
Still, I can imagine…
Very early 1980s vinyl. My favourite Temps album – Norman Whitfield at the controls, songs by Isaac Hayes, loads of wah-wah guitar, black consciousness, those voices…
What’s not to like?
Awesome…long version of Papa was a Rolling Stone
Top geezer Jah Wobble he of the deep dub bass Everything is Nothing on 2016 ripped cd via portable hires player. Great beats and brass for a Sunday arvo.
Now playing
John Hiatt - Leftover Feelings
Hiatt as I like him. Great songs just accompinied by Jerry Douglas on dobro and his fine band. No drums! Sounds great. Best are the slow ballads like “Light of the burning sun”.
Now playing…
Youn Sun Nah - Same Girl
Youn Sun Nah (Kalimba, Kazoo, Music Box, Vocals), Roland Brival (Narrator), Lars Danielsson (Acoustic Bass, Cello), Xavier Desandre Navarre (Percussion) and Ulf Wakenius (Guitars).
Streaming on Qobuz (88.2/24)… kicking off this Sunday morning with Youn Sun Nah and she and the band and they are sounding sublime!
And looking good for Europa next season
John McLaughlin - Thieves and Poets
Judging by this track from his new album and recent albums he is on a roll after some very mixed years
Barclay James Harvest | Once Again | 1971
Good old melodic progressive rock from BJH, this is the well remastered 40th Anniversary edition with bonuses and a DVD. I haven’t seen if there is going to be a 50th Anniversary but imagine that there will be…
Thanks for the heads up, Gazza. I think his last few albums have been pretty good…
Just been introduced to this by my bezzie @Endon who has been down to stay for the weekend. The track ‘Don’t fade on me’ is just sublime
