Rabshakeh Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 (edited) Howling Wolf A present that my kids bought for me on my birthday. My six year old had seen the cover of the first comp and thought that the howling wolf on the cover looked cool, so I sent my wife off to buy it with them "secretly". They came back with the second comp instead, and sadly, a euro-boot. I craftily bought a Chess reissue and substituted it without them knowing, during a period when my record player was being repaired. This morning was the first time the "present" was played. Everyone very happy. I underrate this record among Howling Wolf's, and didn't like it as a kid, but listening to it now I am glad for the mix up, because it might be my favourite on re-evaluation. Hubert Sumlin does make a difference here. The kids also bought me a copy of Abbey Road on vinyl for some reason. I'm not sure why but perhaps I had played them Beatles songs in the past. It does sound good though. Edited July 31 by Rabshakeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Now spinning: John Scofield - Bar Talk (Arista Novus, 1980) with Steve Swallow and Adam Nussbaum Strong early Sco. He's one of those guys who seemed to have his own, distinct voice right from the git-go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a really interesting album that covers so many of Garrick's many bases -straight ahead, modal, classical, poetry, religious music. Some reviews suggest it doesn't hang together as an album and whilst I can see why that's said it does do so for me as a snapshot of a time in his career. The very received English pronunciation of the poet is a time capsule in itself. Worth that revisit I'd say. This copy was a ridiculous treat to self funded by selling off most of my remaining Rock LPs. It will get played a lot more than the Pixies did!

clifford_thornton Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 yeah, not a bargain bin album at all! But certainly fascinating and probably one of a few Garricks I'd really like to own on vinyl (have most on CD). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know 'Impala', will see if I can stream it I was surprised how sought after some of the early pressings of the Pixies are these days. Great fun in their time but Garrick's a lot more my energy levels these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
