Kae (previously Kate) Tempest: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

 

Many people knew him as a country singer.

Some knew that for a short time he was a Beach Boy.

Not many know that before his singing career took off, he was a member of The Wrecking Crew, and an extremely well respected studio guitar player. 

In fact, one day when The Wrecking Crew showed up for a scheduled recording session, Glen happened to be standing in front of a microphone. As members of the crew teased him for his humor, they were quite surprised to find out that they were actually there to lay down music for Glen Campbell's first album.

Anyway, here's Glen picking the William Tell Overture.

The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart (Prime Video Original Series Soundtrack)
Hania Rani
2023

https://album.link/i/1698589835

Example:

I have been waiting for the new Rani album for like six months (they released like 2 tracks in April) and it is still not out for a month and a half!

Anyway, I was happy to find they dropped a soundtrack on the 4th. I have not seen the show, so no comment there, but I like the soundtrack. I do wish a lot of the works were longer. You can tell that many were written for the scene vs. writting a long composition and then just using a part of it in a scene. But I will take some Hania over no Hania.

Cigarettes after Sex.  A lot of it.  (Dream pop with a slight tint of melancholy)

Cody Sherman's Surf Country

Ex.

 

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Cool It Down

Jon Batiste - World Music Radio

I'm amazed that these guys at Odesli keep adding streaming services but they won't include Qobuz

Does the algorithm know about tonight's debate, man ?

Gene Ammons, Boss Tenor (Rudy Van Gelder Remaster)

MSM Schmidt - Life (2017)

Some sort of jazz fusion that I found by serendipity, and enjoying so far. It features Allan Holdsworth (a crazy guitarist that I fancy for unknown to me reasons). Available on many platforms even Qobuz. 

 

Rainbow - Rising

America: Greatest Hits 180g LP

I've always liked these guys' vocals/choirs...almost as much as Cross, Stills and Nash

I'm tempted to get this, because I am least familiar with Dio-era Dio.  I know Rainbow and Black Sabbath era Dio quite well, though.

 

Me, however, rn:

Wack good French prog with traditional Japanese vocalist and Biwa player.

^ I'm the opposite. Although I've heard some of Rainbows songs, I never got into them.

I listened to their first album. It had Man On The Silver Mountain... and that's about the only song worth listening to. 

This one, after Richie Blackmoore fired everyone but Dio, hits the mark. 

The song Stargazer is a masterpiece. In fact, The Charismatic Voice, reviewed that song on YouTube which sent me down this path. 

The song: 

These two in awe.

Funny enough I was independently listening to:   {Great Minds}

Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow
Rainbow
1975

Example:

Good 'early' Dio, even though he was deep into his 30s at this point. 

The rock history podcast I listen to just had an episode on the Band and "The Weight." What a great goddamn song. Have heard it a million times and I could hear it a million more before I get sick of it.

RIP Robbie, btw.

One of my favorite versions of it is on Before the Flood. Killer live album front to back.

Love it by The Band and also love it by The Staple Singers.

 

Another great version was on the Don Was produced album : Rhythm, Country and Blues, with Marty Stewart and The Staple Singers.

Touch Yello (Deluxe)
Yello
2009

https://album.link/i/1443789417

Example:

It is more like a soundtrack to a David Lynch film. But I am here for it. 

 

I love Yello so hard.  I even got their ridiculous multimedia boxset.

Morrissey Viva Hate, vinyl 

The 7” Singles
Paul McCartney
2022

Example:

So, I have been involved in some larger music listening projects. This being one of them. 

It is an interesting journey (with 10+ hours of listening), starting with the above track, but I have to realize that he had 10 years of writing before this. And it is interesting to hear the B sides, a lot of them were more experamental. But the highs of this run are very high.
