I always think of 'Don Juan's Reckless Daughter' as that

Interesting .... "Reckless Daughter" seems a Jaco Pastorius show to me, whereas on "Heijira" the variety of bassists used is astounding ....

This is a good one!  I find things I love on every Ely record.  Both his solo work and with The Flatlanders.  

I've meet and hung out with Joe a number of times when I lived in Texas.  He's a great guy, and easy to talk to.  I suspect his touring has slowed down substantially, sadly, as he's gotten older.

Here's a song he released last year that isn't on an album yet.

Sade "Diamond Life" (Epic) 1984 .... one of the best 80`s debut albums hands down ....

I never did pick that one up. I guess I figured that the band picked the best of the tracks for the original release and didn't think the alternate takes would be very different. Was I wrong?

Kip Hanrahan „All Roads Are Made Of Flesh“ (American Clave) 1995 …. the overall magic of his 80`s releases is gone, still there are ingenious glimpses to be found ....

Linda Ronstadt Ann Savoy "Adieu False Heart" (Vanguard) 2006 .... lovely voices abound  ....

Honestly, I haven't listened to all the disks that much. There are some tracks with a sax player that don't work well. But like any group of live tracks, some are better than others. Let's just say the original album wasn't wrong.

But I like the idea of hearing complete shows, as opposed to a 'best of' from multiple shows. The most successful so far is Jimi Hendrix, "Songs For Groovy Children" (The Fillmore East Concerts). A real tour de force!

Good to know. Didn't quite work this time, anyway.

Cover Art and album title hint to a porn blaxploitation soundtrack, still this another gem by Roy C. and a late(r) gem of 70`s Southern Soul .... went under the radar for many ....
