What Are You Listening To?

Sadgiqacea - False Prism

Dean Martin- Dino Latino

rolling stones - totally stripped.
different tracklist from the original release.

Fister - Gemini

Stevie Wonder- Fulfillingness' First Finale

of the big four run from Talking Book to Songs in the Key of Life this is the one I've listened to the least by far….

Willie Nelson- What a Wonderful World


I didn't even know he had made this album.. he has so many! anyways this is a 1988 album of Willie singing standards.. .very produced…

Doug Sahm Band from 1973 on Atlantic… guests include Dr John, Bob Dylan..Tex-mex rock

Kind of cool to hear Bob on four tracks.. on Wallflower you get Sahm, Dr John AND Bob.. quite a lineup.

I found a copy like new in shrink… no bar code on back (CRC)… looks pristine.. anyways I bought it.. I dont' think I have it…I'll have to check later…I remember first hearing this at a Tower Records in Kobe Japan around Christmas 1984.. not sure how I remember that but its very vivid…

fred schneider & the shake society
produced by bernie worrell
w/kate pierson, steven scales
featuring "monster", "it's time to kiss" (duet w/patti labelle)
really too much fred.

teresa stratas - stratas sings weill
gerard schwarz, y chamber symphony
recording really captures that decadent berlin vibe - closely mic'ed and intimate sounding.
stratas left the business to care for orphans in romania.
also made a notable recording of "lulu" by berg, not loutallica.
schwarz was an amazing trumpet soloist who one day decided that there was not anything that he could not play on the trumpet, so quit and turned to conducting and conducted the seattle symphony from 1985 - 2011.
his albums of herbert l. clarke cornet solos (on nonesuch) are legend.

The Jazz Band record I was on in High School
and
J.C. Heard and his Orchestra - "Some Of This, Some of that" 

Nat Adderley Work Song on Riverside… this was a great find.. a few weeks ago.. $1 for the original mono LP…yes it has a bit of surface noise here or there but nothing major and I just don't care about that stuff……a lot of jazz lately bores me but this is classic stuff.. Adderley, Wes Montgomery and Timmons on the same record..

busted :D

so I am listening to Jill Jones.. its a Prince album all but in name only…

I was pretty good about not pressing the panic button when Prince died and buying a ton of stuff for sky high prices.. but I did buy this record for $10 on the internet (which was cheap compared to what other people were paying.. upwards of $50 for a record nobody wanted when it came out!)

of course today I found it at the record store for $1….it does have some surface wear..some gunk on cover.. not sure what it is.. .

Jill Jones will always be known or not known as most people don't know i guess for the line from 1999 which she sings:

"Got a lion in my pocket, and baby he's ready to roar"

I have to say living 5 minute drive from the CD Cellar new store which combines the Arlington/Falls Church is a blessing and a curse.. they have so much stuff I always end up walking out with an armload of records or cds…its going to bankrupt me…they get a ton of stuff in and they price it - in my eyes- really competitively…
