I bought a cheap used copy a few years ago when I was commuting two and a half hours for four days a week—made for great car listening. Dipping right now into one of the many Black Saint/Soul Note sets that arrived last week: Edited May 28, 2019 by ghost of miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted May 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 I still do not get Morgana King, not even sortakinda a little, not even appreciate-if-not-actually-like. Not ever. That's gonna have to be somebody else. But this record has really great soft-MOR-psych charts by Jimmy Haskell. I just wish he had done them for another record for another singer. Like, if Joni Mitchell was on a career path in 1968 to make this/this kind of record, that would have been SO good. But...life does not work like that, then or now.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted May 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 I dunno either. If I could figure it out, I could at least appreciate her, and that's something I have no interest in.. But let me try - no low notes, no sense of the lyrics maybe once in a while actually being real, rather than melodrama, notes bent the wrong way/for the wrong reasons...you name it. And a vibrato that makes me want to...do something not good. Exactly what, I can't say. She's got good pitch, though, if that counts for anything other than having good pitch. that second one, that's not at all a bad song, but....gag. Gagging is a reflex, just sayin'.
