This album has a lot going for it.. the guys who recorded with Sahm on this are all incredible musicians like Bob Dylan who is on 4-5 tracks and gifted one to Sahm… or Dr John…David Fathead Newman..Flaco Jimenez…. even includes a fairly early cover of Me and Paul with Bob playing harp..


but its that laid back San Antone vibe so its not going to bowl you over either…

I'm not sure I can remember off the top off my head any other album that Bob guested so much on…there's a great picture on the back of the LP of the musicians all laughing it up..evidently a good time was had..

another rockin' saturday night…. listening to Krupa Sextet #3 from 1954….great band on this one: Charlie SHavers, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Ray Brown, and Teddy Wilson…its interesting that Granz reverted to the minimalist cover art featuring black and white pictures of musicians when he set up Pablo in the 1970s…

I didn't do RSD today but still picked up a few records here and there…

Talking Heads- Remain in Light


One of my absolute favorites.. the only problem is I like it so very much more than anything else Talking Heads did…

Very interesting album.. an intersection of world music, art rock, Eno, you name it..

I'm really digging Harry Styles ? Sign of the Times
had I known who it was first, probably would have never listened to it

yeah and but I can't really stand John Mayer
RA did a lot of stuff with the dead and even toured a little with some of them in the mid 2000s around cold roses

but that is probably one of my favorite RA songs
but the sound quality on that is just meh and Oscar Mayer doesn't add much

I think 'Remain in Light' is my 3rd favorite TH album, and 4th if you count 'The Name of this Band"

v/a - recutting the crap on crooked beat records
may need to give the original another chance, as these are some very good songs, played well.
#84/1000 on clear green vinyl  w/joe strummer spoken interludes.
nice job, bill.

Jimmy Smith- The Boss

Nice underrated live set that came out in 1969… three years before Root down… obviously rootdown or root down is superior in every way but this one is not half bad….My favorite Jimmy Smith is oddly enough the period where he probably sold the fewest records.. sort of 1968-1972 or his last few years on Verve.. the stuff before that on Verve tneds to feature these big bands blaring away and are all about charts and orchestrations by people like Oliver Nelson or Lalo Schiffrin and I find those so boring.. I don't need a 20 piece group behind Jimmy.. I want him sounding like he would in some smoky dive bar.. anyways this, In a plain brown rapper, bluesmith and rootdown are probably my favorites.. i even like Jimmy singing..its pretty crazy but when it came out Root down probably sold about 10 copies..

i really like that feeling you get when you listen to an album that you haven't listened to in forever, and that clip in time you get of a sensation being taken back to the moments of your life when that album was one of the king listening choices to your world.

like for me, i put on the pulp fiction soundtrack and was magically transported to the year it came out, and what i was doing and who i was hanging out with back then.  when was the last time you allowed yourself to listen to an album all the way through, letting the emotions of each song put a smile on your face . . . or an anger downward frown of getting fired up? 

i think next i will listen to the beastie boys licensed to ill, which i was given a cassette of by my father, when i was in the 5th grade, i think.  there are people who tell you to ignore the past, for it will destroy you, and then there are others who relish in it . . . because it is fun.
