One Song/Three Versions – Superstition

2016-06-202022-10-23 · 3 Comments ·

Although Stevie Wonder wrote “Superstition,” I don’t know how many people are aware that he actually wrote it for Jeff Beck. How did such a thing come to be? Well, Beck was a Stevie fan and Stevie liked the idea of having guest guitarists. So … Continue reading One Song/Three Versions – Superstition

Steely Dan (final of 4) – Aja and on

2016-06-182018-01-01 · 11 Comments ·

Donald Fagen likes to make fun of the aging hippies who attend Steely Dan concerts. β€œTonight the crowd looked so geriatric I was tempted to start calling out bingo numbers. By the end of the set, they were all on their feet, albeit shakily, rocking. … Continue reading Steely Dan (final of 4) – Aja and on

2016-06-152018-10-29 · 3 Comments ·

“You should never believe anything it ever says on a Steely Dan record, It’s mostly a bunch of lies and bullshit that we write just to confuse the listener.” —-Donald Fagen in a reference to liner notes (if not the actual songs.) One of the … Continue reading Steely Dan (3) from Yokohama

2016-06-112022-09-11 · 12 Comments ·

“When William Burroughs decided to name a succession of dildos Steely Dan I, II and III in his controversial 1959 novel The Naked Lunch, he could never have imagined how such an apparently insignificant name would still be reverberating around the music business well over … Continue reading Steely Dan (1) Any Major Dude

Leo Kottke – Acoustic Guitar Whiz

2016-06-092022-10-10 · 3 Comments ·

If anyone can genuinely be considered a leading contender for greatest acoustic guitarist ever, it is Leo Kottke. He released his first album, 12-String Blues in 1969. But it’s really been since the release later that year of 6 -and 12-String-Guitar that he truly became … Continue reading Leo Kottke – Acoustic Guitar Whiz

The Impossible Task: Two Albums that Sum up Rock n’ Roll

2016-06-072022-11-27 · 2 Comments ·

A couple of years ago, my wife, kids and I visited Madrid and Paris. In Madrid, we saw a great flamenco show in a very small club called Cardamomo near Plaza Mayor. While the emphasis there was on the dancing, this song always reminds me … Continue reading A Song I Love – Mediterranean Sundance – Al di Meola/Paco de Lucia

Stevie Wonder – (Final of 3 – I Am Singing)

2016-05-312016-06-30 · 2 Comments ·

I’m going to use this Stevie Wonder post as A) a final post of the series; B) a celebration of a great album and C) a sort-of belated concert review. In late 1976, Stevie Wonder released a superb double album called Songs in the Key … Continue reading Stevie Wonder – (Final of 3 – I Am Singing)
