Taj Mahal - Giant Step

Didn’t listen too much to his music in the ‘70s, I gots a lotta catching up to do.

68F / 87% RH / 14 mph - morning was chilly but it warmed up later, seems to have cooled down again

No...

Marley Monday...

Sadly, for as long as Taj lived in Hawaii, I only got to see him live, once. And that was back in ‘70 or ‘71 when he opened for the Chambers Brothers (“...time has come today, young hearts can go their way...”).

I’ve had a bootleg copy of Muddy and the Stones for a few years but the video and audio ain’t so good. My copy is also incomplete as it starts in the midst of “Baby, Please Don’t Go” when the Stones arrive at the club and work their way to their table. I should look into picking up the official release....

all I can find is Nov. 1972 and I don't think that was it...also, place held 200

Stephen Stills - self-titled first solo album

“Old Times Good Times” and “Go Back Home” with Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, respectively, are my favorite cuts.

69F / 80% RH / 14 mph - a little bit of sun, little bit of rain, rain coming on Thursday

De nada

👍

Was just watching a documentary last night about the rise and fall of the Clash. Unfortunately I started late so it was just the depressing fall half of things

That was followed by a Dropkick Murphys concert in Dublin returning mebto my former elevated spirits

Great album

Led Zep Plagerism....very interesting video about the music they claimed without giving the originals credit....really cool to hear how some Led Zep tunes were intended to sound
I much prefer what LZ did with them...

Rick James - Street Songs

Palama, any chance there's some Mynah Birds in that massive library of yours? There was no studio album, but I'll bet there's some bootlegs or demos somewhere. The idea of Rick James and Neil Young has intrigued me for a some time. Dud find a small few on YouTube

White Stripes - Elephant

BODY COUNT, MUTHAFUKKAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eli Young Band - Love ain’t

^^ tried that myself after several of his stories. I get how they didn't catch on over here. Don't see how they were so big across the pond. Different strokes for European folks

Alan Parsons - I Robot.

Not sure why ....but it is pretty nostalgiac...didn't exactly wear this one out, but the vinyl did get quite a few spins back in the day. I'm not entirely sure what to make of it now. Too poppy....much of the production is overwrought....kinda pretentious at times...silly at others. Good to revisit, but probably don't really need to do it again for another decade or two.

The Who - Live at Leeds

Bad Company - Bad Company

Loved this album when it came out in ‘74. Was a big Free fan so was only natural to follow Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke. Mick Ralphs was probably at his musical height too.

72F / 81% RH / 10 mph - rain clouds rolling in, batten down the hatches!

James Taylor greatest hits... Pops used to play this record a lot when I was growing up... Always reminds me of warm spring day...

Queen - Queen

Watched part of “Bohemian Rhapsody” the other night and it piqued my interest in Queen again. Can’t honestly say that I ever listened to their first album all the way through...till today.

72F / 87% RH / 10 mph - its turned cool but earlier this afternoon it was pretty warm

Loved JC when he first came out. Got “You Don’t Mess Around With Jim” and “Life and Times” from the Record Club of America (...old foggies know what I’m talking about...). I probably bought “I Got a Name” from them too.

I think The Wild, The Innocent & The E St Shuffle was #2

Montrose - Warner Brothers Presents

Tried to listen to earlier stuff, but my extreme dislike for Sammy Hagar prevented me from enjoying....this is much better, even if the songwriting isn't

Tricky - Pre-Mellinium Tension

Trippy as hell, but a relaxing grooving feel throughout the entire album. My favorite of his though opinions may vary

Motorhead - No Sleep til Hammersmith

Who would win in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God?

NIN - With Teeth
