Madrugada - Majesty (Live)
(Aug 05, 2012 - 10:00) | How many times a day do we have to hear this song? I stopped listening to RP for years because of all the repeated songs. I happen to like this but get very tired of the sane old shit. These are the same songs Bill played 6 years ago.

Cream - White Room
(Jul 04, 2012 - 10:33) | Pretty amazing band when Eric Clapton is the weakest member.
|
Joe Bonamassa - Slow Train
(May 23, 2012 - 06:34) | I've been following Joe since his Bloodline days. Have seen him in concert over 10 times and for my money he is the best guitar going. This CD is his best work yet. He is evolving into the greatest guitar player ever.

Neil Young - Alabama

It was a jab at Neil's song "Southern Man." The funny thing is that Neil was friends with Ronnie Van Zant, and the whole thing was just some good-natured ribbing among friends.
At least, that's what I remember reading in "Rolling Stone" about a zillion years ago.
I heard Ronnie was buried in a Neil Young T-shirt. That little controversy helped get them get needed publicity. I also think Neil is right up there with Dylan. Who knew Canadians could be so much fun..

The American Analog Set - Hard to Find

The Doors - Light My Fire
(Aug 23, 2007 - 13:46) | My friend Layne and I were hanging out listening to KACY when the DJ had a contest to win two free tickets to see a new group called the Doors. Layne called and won. We were young 15 year olds so Rex, Layne's dad, drove us to SB and bought his own ticket. Wore my red Queen's Guard jacket that some family friends bought me in London. We were stylin'. Country Joe opened the show. A small fire broke out in the crowd before the music started. Someone getting high under his jacket. Morrison was electric. Sang behind two silver mikes and stood on a sheep rug. My life, Layne's and Rex's were never the same.

Neil Young - Cortez The Killer
(Aug 22, 2007 - 17:42) | This has become my favorite Neil song. I play it in bars in Mexico and the ex-pats love it. I was a little concerned what the locals would think of it but only good comments. Simple enough for a great jam.

John Martyn - May You Never
(Aug 01, 2007 - 09:05) | Nice song - heard it from the other room and thought it was a Lowell George, had to check.

J.J. Cale & Eric Clapton - When This War Is Over
(Apr 03, 2007 - 16:09) | Just got back from my Mexican escape. I live in Puerto Escondido, Mexico and am involved in the Puerto Blues Fest. We listened to this album quite a bit while I was there and found it lacking, very boring. I love both artists but together they fall short. The rumors were flying about Eric's guest appearance at our little shindig but Oaxaca was a little too far for him to come I guess.

Mosquitos - Xixizinho No Oceano

I met these guys in Mexico and they admitted to peeing in the ocean. I was very surprised that they were a touring band. Very weak. It is amazing what can be created in the studio.

Led Zeppelin - Bron-y-aur Stomp
(Jun 15, 2005 - 11:19) | Led Zep 3 was a big let down for me after the rock/blues driving sound of 1 & 2. I read somewhere that Plant & Page retreated to Morocco and were big fans of CSN. This was there acoustic contribution to 70s rock. There are a couple of good tunes in the album but all and all a weak effort. IMHO

Crosby Stills Nash & Young - Carry On

Stills and Young were in both groups and Stills wrote the song, so the plagiarism was legit. I find the original version a little less polished and a little more "honest," but I like both. In all events, it's fun to listen to both and make the comparison..
My favorite song on the album, by a country mile, is Country Girl, taken from a Buffalo Springfield demo - never minted until their 2001 Box Set. Even though my hair was almost down to my waist and I was a huge CSN&Y fan, Almost Cut My Hair was never a favorite.
Thanks RB for reminding me of this. I heard Buffalo Springfield doing Questions in concert once and then the lyrics reappeared with this version on Deja Vu. Maybe that's the reason for the album title.

My experience of Dead shows was different. Maybe because I'm a woman. Maybe because I saw them in the early 80's rather than later than that, or maybe because I saw them out West. I had numerous people help me do various things while camping at a dead show - from setting up camp, to offering me food or coffee. The fellowship and kindness showed was unparalelled. At one show, I managed to get the last ticket at the booth. The girl behind me had traveled from another state and broke down a cried. Within minutes a man walked up, handed her a free ticket and a rose and said "have a great show." That kind of stuff doesn't happen at any other band's shows. I had my faith in humanity restored at many a show.
I agree - Dead shows are mainly about the people and the music is just an excuse to get together.

Tom Tom Club - Genius Of Love
(May 19, 2004 - 06:49) | The last two songs are the reasons why I am listening to other radio stations. It seems to be happening a lot lately. "Call some place paradise - kiss it goodbye." Later - hopefully!

Neil Young - Cinnamon Girl

C'mon, while Neil does repeat a single note in several places on this song, the rhythm guitar and bass of Crazy Horse, along with the hauntingly evocative lead work of Neil Young on this piece and also on "Down By The River" are remarkably unique. Never before or since have I heard the complexities of this remarkable album as Neil Young and The Crazy Horse explore pertinent directions within the unique framework of these two songs... and the rest of the album is wonderful , too!
I totally agree. It's not Neil's expertise on the guitar but the emotion he can squeeze out of it that is clear on this and Down By The River. I once read he was in bed with the flu and wrote both songs in about 20 minutes. Something to be said for a NyQuil high. My group plays both songs and they are always big fun.

I saw Hendrix 6 times back in the day. Four times he walked off stage within a half hour because of sound or drug problems. That said, he is still my favorite guitar player and song writer. What would he have done - I don't know, but just saw Buddy Guy last weekend and his performance left me a litle sad.

Steve Miller Band - Going To The Country
(May 07, 2004 - 08:14) | I was never a big Steve Miller fan but saw him last weekend in Memphis and he put on a great show in a driving rain. When most bands refused to play or shortened their sets, Ol' Maurice showed them what rock & roll is all about.

I thought something was wierd. You usually have good taste in music. I am a Cali transplant but have lived here for the last 15 years. I've lived in a lot of nice places but north central Arkansas is about the best as long as I can get to Mexico at least once a year. If you remember the group let me know. Thanks Spliff

I will have to give it another listen. I didn't pickup the Southern roots influence. I didn't like Gomez until I saw them live last year in Memphis, now I really like them. Old dogs ya know.

Grandaddy - Now It's On

The Beatles - You Never Give Me/The End
(Apr 07, 2004 - 11:24) | The thing that always impressed me about the Beatles is that when they are interviewed on TV they look directly into the camera as if talking directly to the audience. I grew up in England in the early 60s and the personal connection I feel with the Beatles will never be equalled by any other band. They are not my favorite music group but they did influence my life tremendously. Thanks Lads!

Eric Clapton - If I Had Possession Of Judgement Day

Funny - I have always been critical of Clapton's voice but I, too, think his voice has gotten better later in life. The Blues format suits his voice better than his earlier solo efforts, which I never really cared for. Cream was and is one of my favorite groups and I think I always compared Clapton's voice to Jack Bruce's great vocals.

The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night
(Mar 05, 2004 - 12:15) | I just saw George's Tribute concert on PBS the other night. I was struck by how familar and great all of his & their songs are. It was nice to see Ringo and Paul on stage with Clapton and the others. It was also spooky to see George's son on stage looking exactly like his father did 40 years ago.

The Seeds - Pushin' Too Hard

Miles Davis - Freddie Freeloader

Whiskeytown - A Song For You

George Harrison - My Sweet Lord

Jesse Colin Young - Before You Came
(Jan 07, 2004 - 09:39) | I had to check out who the familiar voice was. Thought I heard a David Crosby influence. Great to hear Jesse again after all these years. He was always one of my favorites. It just went into a speeded up version of Darkness Darkness. Old habits die hard.

Crosby Stills Nash & Young - Carry On
(Nov 10, 2003 - 08:26) | I got an advanced copy of Deja Vu and thought it could never be as good as CSN. We played that album to death. The cover was great, put the LP on the turntable and this song came soaring through a powerful JVC amp with equalizer (brand new feature back then). Fantastic.

Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild

I am a true fan but I think they are getting tired.
