The Half-Buried Will Travellers? Love 'em.
No, I had the CD back in the day and just think the name is dumb, and had to make the above in poor taste joke despite the two (not really half) rather recently deceased were the standouts for me. I heard "My Sweet Lord" on the radio and was as usual blown away by that spiritually-yearning pop gem, me, not all bad, you see, or hedging my bets so that Georgie and Orbsy put in a good word with Saint Peter or the Krishmo, whatever the case may be.
I think "Handle Me with Care" is a decent song, but that's about all I remember other than the Springsteen parody/homage/riff/rip.

Fariport the top band? All a matter of opinion or preference. I would vote for Steeleye Span or Pentangle.
The latter preferably but it came out in the same zig-zag packet with Jethro Tull, yet I continued to listen to Dylan when at the typewriter--I think he was animus number One. Yet it is very true that My Sweet Lord was the Harrison top drawer, followed by officially approved puja chants, until my friend Laksmi returned from Hanunman temple and then I had to stand there at the stove memorizing mantra line by line. There is another album not literally on the tip of my tongue from era 1969 that is not coming through as yet.... |

still not coming through...
Moody Blues is still there (but then, there is Meat Loaf),Quicksilver Messenger Service.
In the Court of the Crimson King.
There was an extensive collection of albums in the house for the very good reason that, if these people were not going to war, they brought their records with them.
Outside the house were the girls who got themselves involved with Peter Townshend.
Inside the house,more likely the girls who didn't much care if Stephen Stills told Crosby. They brought back pre-Columbian trinkets.
We were now past the age of Procul Harum. My problem was essentially I could not remember which was Phil Spector and which was Arlen Specter. To this day, I address the latter with the incorrect spelling.
I find it very difficult to think of all this as "Progressive Rock" as it sounded to me like neither one nor the other.
Now I remember what it was about girls or the difference between inside and outside the house. Those outside did not travel; those who came inside the house were regular long-distance travelers. They no sooner came down off the Colorado Rockies than they took off for the Himalayas or the Andes.

nytemp--ty for doing this. The man has a nice voice, but the song material didn't do much for me. The second one was more interesting than the first.

Buffy Saint Marie:
I've been listening to her Little Wheel Spin and Spin cd and am amazed at how well this album stands the test of time. Her My Country Tis of thy People You're Dying, which includes the title song about the mistreatment (understatement) of her people as well as wonderful traditional songs, my favorite being Poor Man's Daughter (might not be traditional but sounds it), Sir Patrick Spens (traditional), etc. I still have her "Many a Mile" recording (not available on cd) which is also a gem.
Until it's Time for You to Go, Banks of Red Roses, one of the most chilling ballads I've ever heard, with her voice giving me goose bumps. And then her generous "Welcome Emigrante" to those coming to this country; the hilarious Johnny Be Fair and the lovely Many a Mile.
She deserved a far greater success than she ever achieved.
Wonderful listening.

The new Rush CD, Snakes and Arrows, is pretty damn good. Geddy Lee's voice is as strong as ever, even if he can't quite reach those razor-sharp high notes of 30 years ago. But, he doesn't need someone to fill in the high notes like Plant has done on occassion. Solid playing form Peart and Lifeson, with Geddy Lee stretching out on bass on a couple of songs.

Cousin made me listen to a lot of Todd Snider last night, who is alternately funny and poignant, and often both at the same time.

In a more ridiculous light, I see 50 cent has challenged Kanye West to a duel:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070811/ap_en_mu/people50_cent
Personally, I would to see the sales of both their albums fall flat and that we never heard from either one of them again.

George Bush doesn't care about black people.

Lyle Lovett facinates the hell out of me. I never get tired of looking at him. Talk about one-of-a-kind, well, he's the benchmark for that is all I can say. I like the way he sings, too, although I like to spread him in and around other selections--he's like John Denver in that the tunes he sets his lyrics to are same-same most of the time.

I hate this fucking Vista. I've lost two posts just now.j I guess I will have to write it on Word and paste it on here. Anyone else have Vista out therje?
Listening to Dylan's Blood on the Tracks. When listening to Simple Twist of Fate I think he's singing about Baez but it's his ex-wife. I also love Lily,
Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts. I keep trying to get a handle on it and it just slips away. But that's Dylan.
I’m listening to the Traveling Wilbury Collection which I just received and I love it. The DVD is priceless watching them make the first album (Orbison died after the first one) and to see Dylan having fun singing those silly and wonderful songs. I love Petty doing “I wrote a long letter on a short piece of paper.” And to see the video of End of the Line with the rocking chair holding Orbison’s guitar is still poignant after all these years.
And I never heard a funnier send up of a plumb pitiful folk ballad as Nobody’s Child. Absolutely priceless. I love this collection.
