WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

Phil Ochs, Pleasures Of The Harbor.
 
Since the first time I sat around a dorm room baked playing 10 Desert Island Albums over 40 yeras ago, this one has been on the list; one of the greatest albums of all time, with wonderful songs & mind-blowing production - especially the last 3 tracks on the CD (which I will always think of as Side 2) - The Party, the title track, and Crucifixion.  Sheer genius!  
And some of the best liner notes ever, as well.
There is another song added at the end of the YT clip that is not from POTH

My favorite song, writing about song writing. I mean songwriting about writing songs. I mean, song about the Music Industry by Pinkard & Bowden.

I'm really digging the latest album from Esperanza Spalding: Emily's D+Evolution. Amazing bassist and singer. The songs (and bass playing - all on a fretless 5-string) is phenomenal. A bit of an experimental album from Esperanza (more rock than jazz)...

Mike Oldfield - Discovery (deluxe 2CD-version)

Just heard a minute ago, Merle Haggard had died, on his 79th birthday.  
 
One of the bands I play in covers this hit from 1980, and I always look forward to this one in the set, especially the little ascending line at the end of each verse that sets up the chorus. I LIVE for that kinda' stuff.

April 10th, 1990... Fleetwood Mac releases Behind The Mask, their first full-length album since the departure of Lindsey Buckingham. (although curiously, he played guitar on the title cut) Replacing Buck, are guitarists Rick Vito and Billy Burnette. One with deep blues/rock cred, the other a vocalist and front-man personality.  
 
Although the album wasn't that well received, the project as a whole is a good example of what a band does on the rebound and rebuild. Unfortunately the new niche' they were looking for was already occupied by the fringes of 1990's pop-country, but I always thought this was a fun tune to play on bass. Listen how John still plays off Christine's left hand, even if it is on an accordion. =)

That hurt inside; I'm gonna go to bed now and cuddle up with my cat and try to feel better...seriously, that was a cutting song, somehow taps right in to the soul...wow, I'll have to look for his stuff and listen in private so I don't break down in public or something...Tony

[cozmik_cowboy]
