It's a great album that stands up to the test of time IMHO ^^^

Tipitina - Professor Longhair

You can hear hear his influence on Dr. John's piano playing

The Royal Scam - Steely Dan (full album)

I'm listening predominantly for Bernard Purdy's drumming. It's understated yet powerful, always supports and enhances the song, has a great groove, and never buries any other instrument or the vocals.

My first instrument was drums, I'm writing new style disks for Band-in-a-Box, and I'm always impressed by Purdy's classy drumming. I'm hoping some sinks in. This album can be a lesson in how to play drums. Listen to it, pay attention to the drums, and you'll see what I mean.

My favorite rock drummers (in no particular order), Hal Blaine, Bernard 'Pretty' Purdy, Ginger Baker, and John Bonham. All for different reasons.

Knowing the real Whitley Wood (a suburb of Reading), it's not the sort of place you would want to go walking through - packs of feral children wonder the streets torching unguarded cars like a foretelling of post-Brexit* Britain.

It's the real ***** end of Reading, and that's coming from somebody who lives in an area called Cemetery Junction (a name that Gervais nicked for the title of a film).

 

 

* The Oxford English dictionary now lists this as a synonym for apocalyptic.

i had to google him, so i think you're safe... and dislike of gervais/lee noted  ;)

Gervais - I'm very mixed about. Sometimes I find him really funny, but a lot of the time just a bit irritating. 

Stewart Lee - I do like ... when I'm in the mood for his style.

I've just been listening to this at serious volume through my hi-fi ...

 

... I hope that the rest of the street enjoyed it as much as I did. :)

"Son Of Skip James" Dion DiMucci (full album)

I'm actually listening to a download I bought at Amazon a yer ago. I hope this UTube thing goes well. IMO Dion did a nice job on some old R&B songs.

Well, I enjoyed it!

It's too bad Eno doesn't do any collaborations, isn't it? ?

(*Adds this album to the bottom of today's playlist...* ?)

Greatest Hits - Hank Ballard (and the Midnighters)

I think Hank Ballard deserves more recognition in the history of rock n roll music. But that's just me.

Tempus Fugue-it (aka Tempus Fugit) - Bud Powell (the original)

(this song is fast)

(and difficult to play)

Tempus Fugue-it (aka Tempus Fugit) - Stan Getz (my favorite so far)

(but rewarding when you get it under your fingers)
