Music Thread (post a song)

I write this with all due respect:

I wish I could do a Wright Thompson voice so I could do two-minute parody videos of him talking rapturously about bread twist ties or the horses you ride at the grocery store with a quarter or an episode of “Dragnet.”

 

That’s a meh from me. I think Isbell needs a producer.

 

Haiduk - Sea of Fire

 

A little preMotown Edwin Starr

 

Brian Eno!

 

IMO, the greatest Motown act. Levi Stubbs rules.

 

Watched it the past couple of nights. This is very good, very interesting. On a par with "Echoes" and might be better. Getting input from the guy and the woman who were photogs and lived there really helped this.

For me, the years coincide with high school and college, so I was occupied elsewhere. I didn't charge around from one club to another and hardly ever went to Hollywood.

Seems like everybody I grew up with says they attended the Tami show (google it) at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. That was in 1964. I was 12 -- my friends were in the same age range -- and wasn't exactly hitting every concert that came around. My lying friends weren't either.

 

I'm a bit younger, but same generally. I was 8 for the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, 14 the summer of '70. At 14,15 I was just starting to get into music other than my parent's mostly bland radio station and Top 40.

I can't date the day I became rocker - my mother bought me the first two Beatles albums when they came out, and I wore out "Money", "Twist and Shout", and "Roll Over Beethoven" - but I date my full on conversion to 70's rocker the day I heard a record on WRAS in Atlanta, a student FM rock station. The song was "Revival" by the Allman brothers, off of Idlewild South, which came out in 1970. I was taking a shower in a basement bathroom with great acoustics and the radio turned up real loud. Song goes off, I shut off the shower to catch the outro, and the DJ says "That was Revival by the Allman Brothers", and I said "Bullshit, that wasn't the Osmond Brothers, no way in hell." '71 would be my guess.

I too very much enjoyed the photogs reviewing slides they had shot while hanging out in the scene. I want a time machine so bad...

 

I’m assuming that means Dave Cobb wasn’t involved in this one?

I had some issues with the way Nashville Sound and Reunions sounded (they never quite had that gut kick bass I’d have liked to hear) , but thought Cobb did a pretty good job.

 

Funny thing is in 2012 a very novice Isbell produced the AA album Burn Flicker Die which is great. I think it’s a little like acting as your own lawyer even if you are a lawyer.

 

To me, Isbell is a little long-winded in his earnestness. This is how you do earnest.
