Two proto-metal albums:
Blue Cheer's Vincebus Eruptum
Jeff Beck's Truth

[JBS]

Most but not all songs are Spanish.
I have to confess there's a lack of variety due to the very bare instrumentarium: bass, congas, either one male vocalist or two male vocalists in near unison with only occasional appearances of Sra Alves as backup singer.

The Very Best of INXS

    Outsideinside is better.

     Leigh Stephens has been a guitar hero of mine ever since. He embodies a fundamental principle that has guided me, the crucial contribution to innovation of getting things deeply wrong.

Thanks for the recommendation and the thought to mull over. :-)

Was watching something else, and I hard Somewhere Only We Know by Keane, so I had to go and relisten to the disc:

Earlier:



Looking into the guy who sang the songs in the Sharpe series led me to this very Fairport Convention-like album, with guest contributions from lots of artists I admire (Kate McGarrigle, Richard and Linda Thompson, Marty Carthy, and, most unexpectedly, Philip Pickett on bagpipes, shawms and curtals)


Later:



Stayed at the record store long enough to hear Peter Gabriel's new album "i/o" right through.

Much more approachable than many of the post "Us" albums.

Sounds like you had a nice long visit to the record store? 

I've heard of the Albion Band but don't know any of their music.  Will have to check into it.

    Another outsider guitarist who influenced me is Harvey Mandel. Unlike Stephens he gets things right when it suits him.

Here comes Peter Gabriel with a studio album of original material for the first time in 20+ years. 12 songs repeated twice, in two alternative mixes. The first impression is not great: everything, or almost everything we've heard in Gabriel's previous albums. Gradually the album grows in perception: it is not outstanding, but not bad either. The second version of the mixes is better than the first, imo.

Trevor Something - Do It Again (looped and paired with The Cutting Edge, a 1992 movie I also think Career Opportunities, a 1991 movie, would serve as a lovely pairing)

An epic 44-minute version of Dark Star by Grateful Dead on this day 50 years ago:

    When I saw the Jeff Beck group at the Wollman Rink in Central Park in 1969 Woody was playing through a 7 foot tall bass amp. I think he stacked 2 Dual Showman cabs vertically and had some kind of colossal Fender amp you'd never see in a music store.



     Woo Hoo!! Woody may have used a prototype. The group I was in back then went to New Jersey to pick up a prototype of the Ampeg SVT bass amp which my brother used for lead guitar! Those were the days.
