Odetta - One Grain Of Sand (1963)

Probably my favorite album of hers. Opens with a really lovely "Sail Away Ladies".

Jethro Tull have a unique "voice" in rock music and, for those who do not know them, they are worth investigating.

Hadn't heard of that album before now.  When did it come out?

A couple of nights ago, I went on a minor Dire Straits binge:  Making Movies, Dire Straits and Communiqué.

Yes, they are truly a special band. One that I grow in appreciation of as I get older.

That was in the Peter Green era when they were a Blues band. Most people have probably forgotten who Peter Green was, unfortunately. The album contained Albatross and Black Magic Woman.

I thought that one had to be young and wild to appreciate Tull?

Old and wild also, perhaps  ;D

In the US you would have had most of those tracks including Albatross  and Black Magic Woman on an album called  English Rose.

Old San Antone

Released in 2013 Feeling Mortal by Kris Kristofferson is a late career gem.



Rolling Stone: His latest album, Feeling Mortal, due on January 29th, contains some of the singer-songwriter's most raw and poignant material yet. Ask him, however, and he's quick to dismiss any reference to his supreme talent – despite having scored a Number One album and penned iconic songs for the likes of Janis Joplin ("Me and Bobby McGee") and Johnny Cash ("Sunday Morning Coming Down"). "Hell, I've been making up songs since I was 11," he says. "I think that's just what I do naturally. And I just feel grateful that I've been able to do it all my life."

"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."
