Buck Owens - Together Again/My Heart Skips A Beat
By 1964, Buck had succeeded in turning the smooth Nashville Sound on its ear with his own Bakersfield Sound, fueled by chickin' pickin' Telecaster, whining steel and high harmony vocals. His singles were inevitably two sided hits such as the one from which this album drew its title. Last week I commented that Ray Price didn't use his road band in the studio despite their notable talents. Buck did use his Buckaroos on record to produce a raw, almost live sound. This one featured Don Rich (guitar), Tom Brumley (steel), Doyle Holly (bass) and Willie Cantu (drums). In fact, the band would soon start making successful records on its own without the boss man.
No post about Buck would be complete without a special shout out to Don Rich, his super sideman. From lead guitar to harmony vocals to comic foil, Dangerous Don did it all until his untimely death in 1974. Take a look at his amazing solo on this clip from Buck's syndicated TV show which shows the whole band in action:

John Coltrane - Coltrane's Sound
Maybe my second or third (or sometimes, even first) favorite Coltrane album, and one of my favorite Jazz albums ever. "Equinox" played a major role in my Jazz conversion and I have listened to it probably more than any other Jazz song not included on the album Moodswing. Pure perfection. And the rest of the album ain't too shabby either. "Central Park West" is great, Liberia is jumping, Satellite is a showcase of Coltrane's blowing and inventiveness, and Elvin's skills on the kit.

Well this year has been tough, because I wanted to wait like many here do. It forces you to get serious.
Do I go with the obvious choice for me?(Hard Day's Night or anything Beatles) Historical choice for me?(Stones,Animals or Motown appear on the scene, Classic Dylan) Heartstring choice?(Glen Campbell's Astounding 12-string, pun intended)
Instead I'll go with one that actually influenced my life as a musician tens years later when we wanted to form a band and be as big as many of those who came before. We could barely play, so many bands were out initially, but we found the energy and inspiration from learning the opening cut on this gem. The rest is the history of my life. Music rules!!
Hey ZN, like how I snuck in my HM's at the top?

The amazing thing is that these were leftovers from the My Favorite Things sessions in 1960.
That is amazing! I would have loved to have been able to hear Coltrane play songs from this album live. His playing here is astounding.
