'I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.' ~ Emily Bronte

This one's worth it just for the hair  :)  Sandy Denny (1972):

nicht schleppend's choices for the Desert Island reminded me that I hadn't listened to Linda Ronstadt in quite awhile. Playing my favorites this afternoon:

 


Sarge
the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."
                               --Charles Bukowski, "Mahler"

Me too!  Just picked this up yesterday, thanks to your rec (I hadn't even heard of these guys).  Very nice album on first listen.  I think they have a new CD coming out next week?
The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

Indeed!

Glad you like it, man.  8) I get nervous about recommending stuff. Don't want to disappoint.

The room was humming harder, as the ceiling flew away...  8)
What a great song! (the organ melody is a Bach-rip off  ;D )

Have you seen New York Stories? The first part where the song was heavily used was pretty good.

Run to Target! Buy now!!!

Thanks!  I missed the last of his three Tonight Show appearances ("Feel Good, Feel Better, Feel Wonderful" on Friday) but watched it the next day, and it might have been the best one.  It's here.

My wife taped all three and they're on youtube too.

Yes, get the 3-CD set. Not sure you'll like his protege's stuff, but, hell, it's only $12. You get two good CDs anyway.

I wish Emmy and Linda would make another album together. The Tucson Sessions is a gem.
Martha doesn't signal when the orchestra comes in, she's just pursing her lips.

So do I...their voices blend so well. The reason Linda's Prisoner in Disguise is a favorite of mine is partially explained by Emmylou's contribution in "The Sweetest Gift." You know they're close friends, going back to the time of Gram Parsons' death.
