Thanks for that link flotsam: quite a nice selection which I can only sample on Australian iTunes and does not appear to be available in UK

Sorry Lex, I hadn't realised

Completely unrelated to anything, this version of a classic VM song was on the radio this afternoon. I had never heard it before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi2EgyZo2Pw

TGIF !!

That one went straight to my playlist.


Creeping Doom, I'm not a metal fan but I quite liked Blood Brothers. Parts of it are almost operatic.

And of course, it goes without saying that the Rush and Fleetwood Mac are wonderful.

All good stuff: I may have to explore Rush, not a group which has previously made much of an impression upon me (and another Canadian export I see)!

My in car entertainment is currently Jackson Browne's excellent album Looking East: I always used to find him a little insipid apart from a few hits, but that album really stands out for me with every track a winner, along with his most recent album Downhill From Everywhere. I also enjoy his quieter live collaboration with David Lindley on Love Is Strange https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AowuiV00Bf4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrPuj69J1BA

Lex here is my attempt to give you an impression from Rush.

And then there are these three classic Rush songs:

Canadians are pretty proud of Rush.

Thank you for the various Rush tracks: I am quite taken with the albums 2112 and Exit Stage Left, both of which are relatively cheap iTunes downloads, but to get fuller coverage on a single album I may await next month's 40th anniversary super deluxe reissue of Moving Pictures.

Today's in-car entertainment was the Life and Songs of Kris Kristofferson, an excellent album of which not much seems top be accessible unless you buy the album, although I found this https://www.npr.org/sections/world-...m-the-pilgrim-chapter-33?t=1646933993795

There is a video trailer but it does not really do justice to an album which in my view has some of the best recordings of his music, the concert ensemble collectively sometimes outshining even the great individual artists performing https://blackbirdpresents.com/concert/life-songs-kris-kristofferson/videos/?video_id=2601

(in contrast to The Highwaymen, who for me sadly never seemed to be as strong collectively as the individual members)

Saw these from Bill Bailey and thought they might belong here... I did not realise he did so much and such wide musical parody

The new Cowboy Junkies album just out and already on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGyhw4tD_iE

I'll have a look at the new CJ album.

Here we go . Was trying to find a song to describe being discounted/disrespected , so I decided on this instead . My other choice had a certain "h" word in the title .

How about a couple others .

'Scuse the tone/theme of the first few , just bothered the living daylights out of me that it happened .

Cool selection, although it puzzles me that there is usually no credit for Warren Zevon in All Summer Long for what is effectively the tune of Werewolves of London.

The man himself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3JmtMCJ0ok

...and here is a bit of instrumental nostalgia

...and as a bonus

I'm sure Warren was credited in the liner notes when the song was released .

Amazon was trying to sell me another Neil Young album and included Weld (live) which prompted me to buy it on eBay: this gives a taste for anyone else similarly uninitiated
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbLeJREkqxM

Spotify sent me off on a tangent today, and up popped this rather lovely song by Boz Scaggs. I hadn't heard it before:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDeTu6rpN-4&t=4s



You gotta love Neil Young. He's always followed his own path.

For today's listening pleasure a little taste of Yes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3AQXtqY0Es

Yes always reminds me of high school, one of the very first parties I went to. I'd never heard them before that, and it made quite an impression.

I've probably posted this before, but still:

Great choice Agatha.

I have never heard of Yes or that song hagatha. Not that that is unusual for most posts in this thread, but being from my teen years it is.

Good to be led in some new directions.

I have been listening to this in the car today, a searing performance of Blowin' In The Wind from Neil Young and Crazy Horse with which I was not previously familiar - all too appropriate to the situation in Ukraine perhaps https://www.pastemagazine.com/music/neil-young/listen-to-neil-young-cover-bob-dylans-blowin-in-th/

Lex

That's one of my favourite Yes songs. Clever writing, and a beautiful song.

Here's another one, from much later in their career:

Lex, I hadn't heard Neil Young's version of Blowing inthe Wind. As you say, searing.
