By 1977 Warner Bros. had quite a stable of artists producing R&B, soul, funk and dance music - or disco, in the parlance of the time. That is what sold and what managed to get on the radio, but in truth the Warner R&B artists were as varied as the label's underground acts just eight years before. Cook Book , a two-LP sampler focusing mainly on the WB/Reprise R&B acts ("black" music, in the parlance of radio programmers) had a little bit of everything: pop artists (Dionne Warwick), jazz artists (George Benson), gospel soul shouters (Candi Staton), Motown alumni [...]

Arlo Guthrie We take a short break from our exhaustive, year-by-year look at the Warner/Reprise Loss Leaders to cite a few of the artists who appeared throughout this series with great music. We could call it our Loss Leaders All-Star Team. Between 1969 and 1980, the label issued 35 samplers that were available to the public, and these artists were perennials. Arlo Guthrie - Woody's son made 13 appearances in the Loss Leaders series, appearing on the very first sampler in 1969 with "The Pause Of Mr. Claus," featuring one of [...]
I know I've been neglecting the blog lately. That's mostly due to writing for Big Wheel, but also real work & just plain laziness. So to make up for it I thought I'd share with you a favorite concert of mine. Van Morrison live at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, CA, 4-26-1970. Van Morrison has long been a favorite of mine. I actually prefer Van Morrison to Jim Morrison. His Irish brogue not withstanding,I've just always been of the opinion that his body of work is better. I know it's rare to compare vastly different artists, but in this [...]
I coulda sworn that my old roommate mentioned this years ago - that Belding does Karaoke at all the dives in like Glendale and Burbank. I wonder if this was the plan the whole time?

Well, Journey sucks. This is probably going to be really funny thought. "NEW [...]

The Swill Merchant
The Swill MerchantThe beautiful and really smart people over at NPR's All Songs Considered have taken on one hell of an ambitious list and they are leaving it up to us to decide how it shakes out. All of the details are right here . Yep. The 50 greatest voices of all time. This was a brutal vote...and one that I probably could have done about 17 different ways. See, I am - at heart - an over-analyzer. First of all, I think there could probably be a completely separate post about the 126 "finalists" they picked, but [...]

In what will provide each and everyone an opportunity to relive the 1968 classic just as he did, Morrison has announced plans for a brand new documentary.
