Royal Oak Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 Glen Campbell/Jimmy Webb - "Ocean In His Eyes" from 1974's Reunion. Sounds to me like the Gods Of Music Future got together and said, "Ok, let's get these guys together & make them re-envision Country Music as stemming from the common ground between Rubber Soul & Pet Sounds & wait 15-20 years for Country Music to catch up. Only not nearly as well." I mean, ok, hey - this is a GREAT song/record. Not so sure about the rest of the album yet, but this one song is, like, WHOA, where the f*&k does THIS come from? Thank you for making me finally buy this record (just ordered it now). Quote
JSngry Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 Well, ok, you're welcome but that's the "best" song on it, so... the rest are not as immediately appealing. Quote

Shawn Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 David Bowie - China Girl Yeah, I know, but I haven't heard it in years and it brought back good memories. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 Twenty Years and Two Husbands Ago by Lee Ann Womack. It's on the tape loop at work, but I never really listened to it before, and was amazed. Came home and gave it a proper listen, and damn, that's one fine song! Quote

ghost of miles Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 Working on the annual Afterglow autumn-songs show right now, and finding Dave Brubeck's version of "September Song" (from the 2007 CD INDIAN SUMMER) very moving, invested with a measured poignancy. Quote
carnivore Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 Zoot - 'The Man I Love' 1956 with John Williams, Nobby Totah and Gus Johnson. Lurking in a Chess compilation, a forgotten track from an old Argo album called 'Zoot' that I must have owned, once, long ago. Quote
Tom 1960 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 Without a doubt Tiny Grimes' version of "April in Paris" from the album "Blues Groove". Quote

Dan Gould Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 Another great Johnny Adams performance, I Want To Walk Through This Life With You. Can't find it on Allmusic or Amazon so I suspect this is one of his 45s that hasn't made it to any compilation CD. Truly a shame, as it stands up to any of his greatest early work. Quote

Judging from the samples on Amazon, I think that's the one I'll pick up. Quote

AndrewHill Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 William Parker's-Foundation I w/ Hamid Drake on Painter's Spring. I think Hamid makes this album as much as the leader. Quote
Big Al Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 "Minor Vamp" from Blue Mitchell's BLUE SOUL. Beautifully arranged by Benny Golson, and a fantastic way to kick off a fantastic album! Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Jobim's "O Boto" from the Jobim Morelenbaum album has been lodged in my head all month. There's also a lovely version on Hamilton de Holanda's self-titled album. Quote
ghost of miles Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 One that I return to from time to time: Tom Waits' "Take Care of All My Children," the song that plays over the ending credits of the 1984 documentary STREETWISE. It's on the ORPHANS set. Quote
