I think I prefer that title, which I didn’t know was used in some countries. It was my first Dylan album, stolen from a girlfriend’s big brother when I was 15 or 16. And you know what they say about first loves – the album that is, not the-then girlfriend.

I’ve been away from my music for a little while, good to be back with this fine first “proper album” by Joey Burns and John Convertino et al.

A supporting cast including Soles & T Bone from Dylan’s Rolling Thunder band, Tench from Petty & Van Dyke Parks suggest musicians saw something in Young. Sadly the public seemed to disagree. I’m with the musicians. Uniti Core.

Yes indeed. 26 years late to be exact! Recorded 1973, released 1999. Sometimes lost albums are not very good (left unreleased for a reason). This though is a terrific album which captures the first Mahavishnu Orchestra at the top of its game. In the end it was their swansong, the line up being completely different for the next studio album ‘Apocalypse’.

Eric Clapton - Crossroads 2 (live in the seventies), listening to one track in particular. E C and band are joined by Carlos Santana and percussionists Armando Peraza and Leon Chancler for a stonking 24 minutes encore of “Eyesight To the Blind/Why Does Love Got To be So Sad?”.

I was watching the Monkey Man movie with a friend a couple of weeks ago, and said to her “Who’s the tabla player? He’s a complete master.” When the credits rolled it turned out it was Zakir Hussain, I haven’t seen him live for years and didn’t recognise him, but his playing was as great as ever.

Yes, great early DS. Love the tracks from ‘Communique’, their latest album then, released in June 1979.
