Am so listening via youtube.

This may be of interest to others, as well. You know who you are.

I picked this up last week and just now listened to it...

BB King - In London



I thought, "Eh, it's okay. Nothing really stands out. Whatever." And given that, I checked Allmusic.com to see if I was missing something. The review gave me a laugh.

"The plodding rhythms laid down by a coterie of British rock stars for this set make one long for B.B. King's road-tested regular band. But it was the fashion in 1971 to dispatch American blues legends to London to record mediocre LPs with alleged rock royalty..."

Glad I haven't lost my ear.

Fortunately, this was the next CD in that pile of new acquisitions:

John Lee Hooker - The Real Folk Blues



A Chess release from 1966. I love this era of John Lee Hooker. All originals, including a couple that eventually became signature songs. A really nice set of music. Such a difference between this and the aforementioned BB King album.

I actually like this one... and it's holding up to multiple listens.

It would be an understatement to say that MK is prolific, whatever persona he happens to undertake.

Er. how is it?

Prolific? The album is only 1 hour and 28 minutes long.

I enjoyed it. His stream of consciousness style demands full attention, but I was able to multi-task fairly well while listening to it.

Chickn - Wowsers! (2018)

Arctic Monkeys

I'll keep trying and hope it clicks.

The Horace Silver Quintet- Song for My Father (1965)

 

[Ojai Sam]

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Trilogy (1972)

 

[Ojai Sam]

The Temptations - Lost And Found: "You've Got To Earn It" (rec. 1962-68, Motown comp. 1999)

Unbelievable unissued material from deep in the Motown vault. Their leavings were better than what most folks released.

on the Sam-O-Meter.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Trilogy (1972)

I haven't listened to that in maybe 25 years. Time to give it another spin!
