For a blog going by this name, the death of multiple Grammy award-winning producer and pioneering sound engineer Roger Nichols is particularly noteworthy. The school mate of Frank Zappa was crucial in the development of Steely Dan's sound, from the West Coast rock of Can't Buy A Thrill to the jazz-tinged material on Aja and the comeback album Two Against Nature.It's his hand on the back-cover of Countdown To Ecstasy. Actor Tim Robbins' parents were folk singers. Gil Robbins was a member of the pioneering folk group The Highwaymen; he died on 5 April; his wife Mary passed [...]

In 1989, Bluesy-Folk Singer-Songwriter Phoebe Snow released her record, Something Real and from The moment that disc popped into my CD player I knew I fell in love with her voice. That record lived on repeat for years to come. Even to this day I pull it out that disc and throw it back into heavy rotation. Her career spanned way prior to that 1989 release. She was a 702s songbird and was nominated for a Grammy back in 752. A New York native, she was as influential in my youth as Paul Simon was [...]
It was 1975, the year I graduated from high school. Among the rock/jazz crossover musicians of the day was a 23 year old unusual looking woman, Phoebe Snow , with a voice of - well, as the New York Times of the day observed, " a contralto grounded in a bluesy growl and capable of sweeping over four octaves." Although known as a great cover artist, that year Snow had her first successful self-written recording, "Poetry Man," a soft jazzy bluesy acoustic gem sung with staccato delivery that fit seamlessly with the decade's soft rockers such as [...]
L ove and happiness. They are, as Al Green sang in his 1972 classic of that name, "something that can make you do wrong, make you do right." They also seem to bring out the best and the worst in us -- in life and in song. Maybe it's because both joy and romantic love are generally fleeting, and we know it. Sort of like fantastic weather. The other day, I was listening to "Blue Skies," the first single from Jamiroquai's excellent new album, "Rock Dust Light Star," when it dawned on me: Like love [...]
The third mix of Beatles covers, covering the period between the White Album (partly covered in the second mix) to the final album. The most significant song here is the Beach Boys' live recording of Back In The USSR, with Ringo Starr guesting. The song was, of course, Paul McCartney's satire of the Beach Boys. One imagines it was a find piss-take, because by 1968 the Beach Boys had long left the girs-cars-surf scene behine (well, except Mike Love, who never really got past it). Two songs here, by George Benson and by Booker T & the MGs, [...]

Continuing our summer celebration of Christmas! These are just some of my most favorites of my favorites so far this year. 7) Merrill Osmond-A Very Merry Christmas From the 1976 Osmond Christmas Album. The Osmonds have always brought great Christmas music to our ears, much like Lawrence Welk. I feel not much of it gets heard these days (like with Welk's Christmas music) because times have changed, people associate the name with something outdated, but man...this sounds as fresh and as invigorating to me as anything released recently.
