What Are You Listening To?

Farm on the Freeway  -  Jethro Tull

Da Fan,  if you get a chance,  check out this 1987 Tull cd.  It won the grammy that year for best "Heavy Metal",  which instantly made it target for scorn by all metal fans,  but I really think it is one of their very best efforts.  Martin Barre rejoined for this one,  and he is stellar.  I was living in Seoul when it came out,  I was very happy to pick it up in a shop near an Army base.

Hey, it's 93 out there, ya'll can't begrudge a fella a few cold ales on a hot non-working day afternoon?

gots to keep cool my friend , it is in the sixeties here and i am loving it , this old hound dont like hot weather

Allman Bros - end of the line

Sorry,  neglected to mention that the name of the album is "Crest of a Knave"

another tune from this album,:

She said she was a dancer  -  Jethro Tull

"A Million Miles Away"  -  Abraxas Pool

This band's only release (1997)  they were made up entirely of ex-Santana members,  including Neal Schon,  Greg Rolie,  Michael Shrieve,  Alhonso Johnson,  Chepito Areas and Michael Carabello...everyone but Carlos actually.  All original music written by Schon,  Rolie and Shrieve,  this is the best post-Santana album in my opinion.  Got to see them live twice in their short existence,  they were so good.  Wish they would have made more music together.

-Enjoy that, Bluez, my good man-  we won't be seeing the 60s here again until October-  or the low-mid 70s, for that matter...

-Noted, Koy-  thanks for the tip!

-Alrighty, now that I do have a few ales into me, I do feel like some tunes...  Some rockin' ones, at that...

Now Playing:

Robim Trower  Bridge of Sighs

AMG:

Guitarist Robin Trower's watershed sophomore solo disc remains his most stunning, representative, and consistent collection of tunes. Mixing obvious Hendrix influences with blues and psychedelia, then adding the immensely soulful vocals of James Dewar, Trower pushed the often limited boundaries of the power trio concept into refreshing new waters. The concept gels best in the first track, "Day of the Eagle," where the opening riff rockingly morphs into the dreamy washes of gooey guitar chords that characterize the album's distinctive title track that follows. At his best, Trower's gauzy sheets of oozing, wistful sound and subtle use of wah-wah combine with Dewar's whisky-soaked soul-drenched vocals to take a song like the wistful ballad "In This Place" into orbit. "Too Rolling Stoned," another highlight and one of the most covered tracks from this album, adds throbbing, subtle funk to the mix, changing tempos midway to a slow, forceful amble on top of which Trower lays his quicksilver guitar. One of the few Robin Trower albums without a weak cut, Bridge of Sighs holds up to repeated listenings as a timeless work, as well as the crown jewel in Trower's extensive yet inconsistent catalog.

-This one goes out to our recently MIA friend Jakobe, who lives in Venice where the "Bricge of Sighs" is actually located...
