A Six-Pack of Robert Plant

2021-02-24 · 37 Comments ·

I‘m advised that Robert Plant was the lead singer in a band called Led Zeppelin but you know, I’d never even fucking heard of them. And what a silly name for a band! So I’ll fake my way through their history.  Wikipedia: Robert Anthony Plant … Continue reading A Six-Pack of Robert Plant

A Six-Pack of The Strokes

2021-02-202021-02-21 · 11 Comments ·

Note: Los Lobos are doing a live stream next month. Details here.  Wikipedia: “The Strokes are an American rock band from Manhattan, New York. Formed in 1998, the band is composed of singer Julian Casablancas, guitarists Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr., bassist Nikolai Fraiture, and drummer Fabrizio Moretti. They are one of … Continue reading A Six-Pack of The Strokes

Fleetwood Mac – Mark II – (Second of Two)

2021-02-14 · 21 Comments ·

Bob Welch saved Fleetwood Mac – Mick Fleetwood. The way I left was wrong and a mistake. I should’ve told them right away but I was desperate – Jeremy Spencer Wikipedia: “During a tour of the United States in February 1971 with new keyboardist Christine … Continue reading Fleetwood Mac – Mark II – (Second of Two)

Fleetwood Mac – Mark II (Part One of Two)

2021-02-11 · 17 Comments ·

Strictly speaking, there were really several versions of Fleetwood Mac. But in reading about them, you can really break them down into three phases – Peter Green (blues-based), Bob Welch/Christine Perfect McVie (pop and rock), Buckingham/Nicks (rock, soft-rock.) I’m calling the Bob Welch version Mark … Continue reading Fleetwood Mac – Mark II (Part One of Two)

One Song/Three Versions – God Only Knows

2021-02-06 · 26 Comments ·

Wherein I take a song – the original and two covers – and lay them out side by side if you will. If I can find radical reinvention, I’ll go for that rather than rote covers.  Unlike a lot of music fans, I’ve never been … Continue reading One Song/Three Versions – God Only Knows

My Top Ten Guitar Solos of All Time – Part Deux

2021-02-02 · 42 Comments ·

A little while ago, I posted my Top Ten Gee-tar solos of all time. But you didn’t really think I had only ten, did you? Of course, you didn’t. I also did a post once on What I Listen For in a Guitar Solo. Put … Continue reading My Top Ten Guitar Solos of All Time – Part Deux

A Six-pack of Bad Company

2021-01-28 · 15 Comments ·

The latest in a series of posts wherein I feature a half-dozen or maybe six tunes by a band I dig. (I cheated a little bit here and threw in a bonus tune that you may not know on the Spotify list.) Of all the … Continue reading A Six-pack of Bad Company

Let Us Now Listen to Some Organ Music

2021-01-26 · 36 Comments ·

The organ is one of those instruments that always sounds great when played well in just the right band, often – but not always – blues. Here’s a few tunes that feature the organ, not always exclusively but definitely prominently.  Before he became a founding … Continue reading Let Us Now Listen to Some Organ Music

New Music Revue – 1/18/21

2021-01-18 · 9 Comments ·

I note here that Phil Spector has died – in prison –  at 81. While I appreciate his Wall of Sound accomplishments, I’ve always refrained from writing about him because he was also a murderous creep. So maybe we’ll leave it at that. Since today … Continue reading New Music Revue – 1/18/21

Winter in America

2021-01-092021-01-09 · 21 Comments ·

In case you’re not aware, an upside-down American flag is a distress signal  As you might imagine, as an American citizen, it’s been difficult for me to focus on blogging much this week. Or for that matter, on much of anything. I try to keep … Continue reading Winter in America
