What are you listening to right now?

This is a German singer who revived the old German songs of the 1920 and 1930.
He's quite successful with the younger generation.

Random is being a bit silly this morning


This isn't the Shower Scene From Psycho track it did play, but you get the idea, bizarro sixties covers

Some brilliant Gil Scott Heron, that was very prescient.

Thank you for sharing it was different.

WMP being funny again

Ditto

Listening to the isolated bass playing of James Jamerson...awesome Funk Brothers.

Lou Rawls was always a smooth country soul singer by the time I heard him

Hi Panz - didn't Carol Kaye claim she'd played a lot of the bass on tracks credited to the funk brothers - or did I just dream that? It's not mentioned on wikipedia.

Hi Hinge.
I seriously doubt she was a Funk Sister in Detroit. She was a little too expensive for Gordy.
Maybe when he moved the company to L.A.

That's the story, in the late 6os she started replacing Jamerson on motown recordings. I did a quick hunt and her claims cause a bit of angst in the bassplaying world. Once guy referred to her as the drunk uncle, each christmas her claims get wilder and wilder.

Another guy noted that she was a picker and Jamerson was finger player, so it should be pretty easy to tell them apart.

Never-the-less another reputable article says she has a reasonable claim to be the most recorded bass player of all time (over 55 year session career).

I always like to listen radio, live shows, so listening that.

This has been stuck in my head for the past 2 days.

My newest, favorite song of all time ...Wig Billie's "Drugs In Oklahoma" ...

Now I'm listening to the whole Wildflowers album by Tom Petty because I heard a song that reminded me how much I loved it on my commute today:

I've known this song for ever but today is the first time I noticed the zither at the start.

Massive personal fave

10 cc and wildflowers...good stuff

Love this track!
