#nowplaying Larry Coryell - Coryell. If you own one Coryell album it should be this one (Fairyland is also amazing). Bernard Perdie on drums. Ron Carter bass on two tracks. Coryell in Hendrix mode for a lot of this album. Psychedelic jazz guitar masterpiece. Still a bargain bin album at record stores. @vinylrecords
Giving out FREE plants today on my stoop. Hoyas, spiders, monteras, purple hearts, yucca. Approx 1.30 EST in Sunset Park, Brooklyn near 45th R. Before the Knicks game. DM for address. #nyc#plants
Melodies galore. Best descending bassline you will ever hear. Amazing bridge with swooning strings leading to cathartic landing. Trippy background vocals make me wish I was on mushroom tea. And Jorge Benโs vocal phrasing just takes you on a ride. Sublime.
#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 wonโt say itโs better than at Fillmore East, but I probably listen to it more often.
#nowplaying Hawkwind - Quark Strangeness and Charm. One of their groovier albums? Only one I own. Listened to this maybe 15 times and still have no idea what's happening. @vinylrecords
@mrcompletely@noirlover 100%. A lot of cashiers now get flummoxed by the coins. And it was like $7.87 change. As a former cashier...87 cents is a tough one--a lot of coins involved. This dude ATTACKED those coin trays.
@noirlover also Africans e.g. Fela Kuti, whose music was in multi cornered communication with James Brown and the rest of the early 70s true funk soldiers
#HotTakeJubilee Keith Moon sucks. Can't keep time. No pocket. No groove. Definitely not "jazzy" which is how some of these British rock drummers are labeled (ahem, Ginger Baker). Plays like Animal from the Muppets. Ruins all the beauty of delicacy of Townsend's songs. I like the Who still, but honestly I like Townsend solo more than the Who.
