I was in a laid back kind of Jazzy mood this afternoon.
Billy Cobham, Crosswinds
Bella Fleck
Steve Cole, Stay A While (1998) smooth album

For anyone who doesn't get the whole James Brown "thing", this album is where you need to start. The band is absolutely cookin'. Vocally JB is in between sweet soul singer and political stream of concious poet. Proof of his genius conveniently pressed onto vinyl. My kid starts dancing as soon as the needle drops, grooves are infectious...
I have been listening to Black Joe Lewis. He has a great sound but owes much to JB. Particularily the call and response with his brass section. Even those who are clueless to JB's music know that much.
Anyhow, I was feeling inspired to write a bit about this one. A real classic...

I know that Crosswinds album. I havent listen to Cobham in years. One heck of a fusion drummer. Good stuff

'Tis the season
Even though I long stopped concerning myself with the alignment of my soul with any particular theology... I still enjoy pulling the Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack out this time of year. A Classic. This is probably the album that I second most associate with childhood memories of Christmas. The first most memorable was some Johnny Cash album that had a song called Ringing the Bells for Jim. That had to be the most depressing Christmas song ever, we made jokes about it for years. Still do.
The father heard church bells at midnight,
a wrong time for church bells to chime.
He went to the tower, found a little girl there,
Said, ‘Why ring the bells at this time?”
“I'm just ringing the bells for Jim, please, Father
ringing the bells for Jim.
I'm sorry I'm cryin' but my brother Jim's dyin'
so I'm ringing the bells for Jim.
Please, Father pray for him this Christmas
he's sick and he's in so much pain.
The doctors all say he'll be gone any day
so I must ring the bells again”
Man, I wish we still had that album...whatever it was.
But back to Jesus Christ Superstar. Great stuff. What's the Buzz, Everything's Alright. Must listen.
And clickable for 256kbps VBR 70's flashback seasonal goodness.

You can click the album art above and find out first hand! The soundtrack is the only version that I've heard (being but a youngster at the time of release).

most depressing christmas CD...ever, February 21, 2006
By malamute5 (Madison, WI)
one of the songs has the line "Sorry I'm Crying/My brother Jim's dying/Ring a bell for Jim." Hey, but it's Cash-- what do you expect? Very slow, but some of the songs are good. I'm happy.

…'Ringing the Bells for Jim' still brings tears to my eyes nearly 40 years later!
Tears for me too, but mostly because we were laughing so hard...

How about some Buck Owens, Poppa Looked A Lot Like Santa
For those of you who probably didn't visit my thread. I've been spinning a two disc set of remastered Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush. They recently released a few sets. The one I have has Live/Tales Of The Unexpected/What's Next full length on the two disc set and even though an import only the price of a single U.S. disc. Sounds very good and MR rocks!

To each his own, Stan...but I'm diggin' it, myself. I paid one green dollar for it...from a dealer...so I don't imagine it would be worth much to sell.

The recent post relating to the recent demise of Eric Woolfson (!) brought to my attention the singular talent of one Steve Blasamo, who worked with Woolfson in his sequel to Tales of Mystery and Imagination, (appropriately) entitled, Poe.
Balsamo, was "discovered" by Woolfson, who heard about Balsamo's talents while in production of Jesus Christ Superstar; a performance that is said to have moved Weber to tears. Here's his performance or Gethsemane....

How is the movie soundtrack in comparison?
I have always preferred the studio recording, but both are very good and the soundtrack features an extra song. The studio version however has Ian Gillan in the role of Jesus while the soundtrack features Ted Neely. Several years ago I saw the stage version, featuring Neely and I was totally blown away by the show. It was also on December 22nd and had snowed that day so the Christmas thing was really happening that day. Great music and a great experience, can't wait for the movie to appear on bluray.

I've been listening to a lot of Mazzy Star lately- http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.as...&altsearch=yes
Among My Swan, She Hangs Brightly and So Tonight That I Might See are excellent.
Also been listening to Cowboy Junkies- http://www.cduniverse.com/sresult.as...&altsearch=yes
Trinity Revisited, Best Of The Cowboy Junkies and Pale Sun, Crescent Moon are excellent.

I am a HUGE CJ fan!!!

Well Tommy, I was -7 years old. That's right, negative seven. Not even a concept I reckon. You may want to look at it as 7 B.C. (Before Chubbs)...
-
I was 12 in 1970 and living in Brooklyn, NY. My brother was going to school at SUNY Buffalo at the time.
Pop, I've never been to Toronto but I would love to visit Canada sometime. One of my partners is from Winnepeg and he's been trying to get me to fishing with him in Canada.
Have you guys heard the Trinity Revisited album? I like it better than the original. Also, if you havent heard Mazzy Star you should give them a listen if you like the CJ's.
-
Yes, I've listened to Mazzy Star. I'm wondering if you've listened to any Mercury Rev? I've seen them live a few times, Boces is an amazing album...

Will be a great show. They are one of the better bands from Toronto, from Canada for that matter. Post how it goes...

I really like Double Fantasy quite a lot. I scared one of my friends recently when I told him I even like most of the Yoko tracks on it.
I've been listening to ambient music, and prior to this last week I had only listened to a smattering of it. I like it much more than I expected, especially the Eno stuff:
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov...49648p0pkv.jpg
Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music For Airports
I am definitely going to check out the rest of Eno's ambient albums. Great stuff.

NASA Voyager Recordings - Symphonies of the Planets 1, 2
The Voyager Recordings are more interesting for the way the recordings were obtained than the recordings themselves, but they are still pretty neat, especially for background/distracted listening.

Bruce Robison. Amazing songwriter. If you like or even tolerate the alt-country scene, you should hear this guy.

Double Fantasy actually got hammered by the critics when it was released. Of course, following his death, they were afraid of seeming too harsh and eased up on it. I can get through the Yoko stuff, but that's about it. She actually did an ok job of back ups on Woman.
I went through a big trip-hop/ambient phase. I still listen to some of that stuff from time to time. Have you heard any Thievery Corporation?

I think that's an underrated Thievery Corp record. It seems lots of people praise Mirror Conspiracy and kinda overlook their other ones. For me Richest Man in Babylon is every bit its equal. Thing really kicks off in pretty great style and doesn't let down for me.
I'm just rolling through a few different <b>Booker T & the MGs</b> records this afternoon, all nice and comfy just moved into a new house over the weekend...well, process took a few weeks, but the final stuff went down and I actually started living in the palce this weekend.

Ya, noticed you haven't been around. Welcome back. I haven't done a lick of ripping. Now that you're back in the mix, I'll get movin...
