Ufomammut - 8 (2017)

I hate to use the word "regression", but I didn't hear much new or different with this one. Very heavy, to be sure, but didn't seem to plow any new ground for me.

Mose Allison - The Mose Chronicles: Live In London, Volume 1 (2001)

At age 73, the sardonic wit and fluid blues/jazz piano style were undiminished. Mose was always a bigger hero in the UK than here, thanks to acolytes such as The Who, The Clash and Van Morrison. This set from "The Pizza Express" club in London was thus a triumphant return, with a setlist mixing familiar hits, new songs, and canny covers such as Nat King Cole's "Meet Me at No Special Place (At No {Particular Time)".

Sign me up for Volume 2!

Not that familiar with their work (not many plays of what I've got), so this sounded pretty good to me.

I was gonna ask, "didn't he write 'Parchman Farm'?" but then remembered that somebody else (Bukka White) wrote it. Looked it up, and Mose revised it considerably. His version was later used by a surfeit of bands, because bands don't come in plethoras.

"Parchman Farm" is one of Allison's best-known songs. In 1964, he re-recorded it with some new lyrics as "New Parchman" for The Word from Mose album. Heightening the irony, the first verse includes "Sittin' over here on Parchman Farm, the place is loaded with rustic charm".[9] A variety of artists have recorded Allison's "Parchman Farm", including Blue Cheer (as "Parchment Farm"), Blues Project, Blues Image, Cactus, David Clayton-Thomas, the Charlie Daniels Band (as "Parchmont Farm"), Dead Moon, Rick Derringer, Georgie Fame, Bobbie Gentry, Hot Tuna, the Kingston Trio, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, and Johnny Winter.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Luciferian Towers (2017)



Fortunately, this band does not sound like a plethora of other bands.

As an aside, I once almost had to have my plethora taken out, but the doctor said the swelling had gone down.

I finally procured a copy, Nick. I no longer covet yours.

Wow! Where did you find it?
That is a great album. Not everyone's cup of tea, but then again, some people just like coffee.
