1960 collection of country / acoustic #blues featuring Robert Johnson, Furry Lewis, Blind Willie McTell, Bukka White, and more of the usual legendary subjects. Compiled by Sanuel Charters for RBF. Sunday listening. @vinylrecords
#nowspinning a lazy Saturday morning listen to Bobby Charles’ self titled country funk style album from 1972 (2014 LITA reissue). With musical support from members of The Band, a chilled out soulful song based record. Kind of a playful humour going on too, which I enjoy.
#nowspinning Bert Jansch - Rosemary Lane (1971). Maybe the most Nick Drake-like album Jansch did, if only for the hushed tone and pastoral feel. It’s a record of just warm poised #fingerstyle guitar and vocals. Great version of “reynardine” the traditional tune. @vinylrecords
@mangrovevalley@vinylrecords love his debut, admittedly I’m a pretty big fan and love almost all his eras, but his solo recordings (no band) are all stellar. It’s amazing how fully formed he was even on his debut
It was a dark and stormy morning... and it made me want to listen to Interpol. Highlights from 2018's Marauder album include "The Rover" & "Flight of Fancy". #IndieRock#Rock@vinylrecords
#nowspinning William Eaton - s/t / 1978 (Reissued 2020 by Morning Trip records). A blissful and uplifting record of instrumental guitar. The liner notes say some of it was recorded on a 26 string guitar Eaton built called an “Elesium Harmoniom”. It’s a beautiful set of spontaneous performances recorded “in a garden”. With everything going on, good to have some peaceful vibes coming through the speakers.
@tor_haxson@thesizzler@bourgwick@Corry342 Dex lived longer than I expected. He came at life from a pretty hard angle. Sadly his sweet sister Sara, who I was good friends with for awhile when we were young, and played with him in later years, passed several years ago.
#NowPlaying - decent audience-recorded #bootleg of the flo & eddie era mothers' hometown debut at santa monica civic, august 1970, misdated as el monte '71. totally dig kaylan/volman as front-mothers, increasingly less into the mud shark skit sequence, here in early draft, a premonition of my least favorite #zappa. stunning & fun kornyfone art. @vinylrecords
#nowplaying Allman Brothers - Wipe the Windows, Check the Oil, Dollar Gas. The other live Allman release. Two keys, two drums and only Mr Betts on guitar. Cover is bad but the jams are great. @vinylrecords
@noirlover@vinylrecords I love the full concert from Winterland they included in the 2013 reissue of Brothers and Sisters. I won’t say it’s better than at Fillmore East, but I probably listen to it more often.
