Kelly Eldridge Boesch on Dreams

 As she says this one is about dreams (aren’t they all but?) we will close the day with this one from Kelly Eldridge Boesch

Kelly says:

This one is about dreams. Those strange kind of dreams where you wake up and say what was that all about. The song lyrics personify a dream as if it was a person. I’ve made songs like this before, Change and Life, You Bastard. Using personification to describe how these things can make you feel. I love strange visuals that make you think but are also oddly calming. My workflow for this was #midjourney for the images, #VEO3 for the animation, @Suno for the song. I edited it using Premiere Pro but then dumped it in CapCutt to add a filter

Dylan in Ireland | Flagging Down The Double E Newsletter - RAY PADGETT

 Last Night in Dublin (by Laura Tenschert)

2025-11-25, 3Arena, Dublin, Ireland

RAY PADGETT NOV 26

Last night, Bob Dylan concluded his year of touring—85 shows total—in Dublin. It was the final night of the latest leg of the Rough and Rowdy Ways tour, which he’s already teased will continue on next spring.

If you’ve been following the fall tour, you know that after the setlist not changing one iota for weeks, in the final days finally there were some surprises. “Going Down to Bangor” in Belfast. “Lakes of Pontchartrain” in Killarney. And last night in Dublin?

To tell us all about it is Laura Tenschert. Tenschert is the host of the essential podcast Definitely Dylan. This time last year, I was on the program talking about the Rough and Rowdy Ways tour coming to an end. Whoops. But it’s a great show and usually her guests don’t put their foot in their mouth as much as I did.

Here’s Laura Tenschert reporting in on the final night of the latest leg of what I will continue to call the Never Ending Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour:

Jimmy Cliff - Wolf Lake Memorial Park Pavilion - Hammond USA 2014 | Albums That Should Exist

 

Jimmy Cliff - Wolf Lake Memorial Park Pavilion, Hammond, IN, 7-16-2014

Paul says: Yesterday (November 24, 2025), the world lost another musical great, Jimmy Cliff. He was 81 years old. I wanted to post something to pay tribute to his musical legacy. I looked around, and to my pleasant surprise, discovered this concert. Someone posted it at a bootleg sharing site for the first time just yesterday, also to pay tribute to him. So you haven't heard this before.

This comes from a soundboard, and the sound quality is excellent. However, there was one problem with the recording: it captured what was heard on stage great, but there was almost no sound of the audience. So I ran every song through the MVSEP program, splitting the crowd noise from everything else. Then I greatly (and I do mean greatly) boosted the crowd noise at the ends of songs and other appropriate places, like during singalongs. So this version sounds even better than the one that first appeared just yesterday.

Cliff put out a lot of classic reggae music in the late 1960s and early to mid 1970s. But then he put out mere okay albums for a long time. However, in 2012, he had an excellent comeback album appropriately titled "Rebirth." It won a Grammy for the best reggae album of the year, and Rolling Stone Magazine named it one of the best 50 albums of 2012. Even though this concert took place well over a year after the release of that album, he was still touring to support it. Four songs here come from that album: "Rebel Rebel," "World Upside Down," "One More," and "Children's Bread."

This is a fairly long concert, which gave Cliff time to play most of his best known songs. He also managed to weave in a kind of personal musical history, which included him performing some of his earliest songs, like "King of Kings" and "Miss Jamaica" from the early 1960s, but also some cover songs that were influences on him, like "Honor Your Mother and Father," "Judge Not" (written by Bob Marley before he was famous), "Hold Me Tight," and "Cupid." All in all, this is a great concert recording to remember him by.

This album is an hour and 58 minutes long.

Whatever happened to Licorice Mckechnie? The disappearance of an Incredible String Band starlet | DANGEROUS MINDS

Read on here . . .

Keen fan of Dangerous Minds that I am, this is a disappointingly poor profile of the Licorice McKechnie story and tells us nothing new. 

a few paragraphs from author Will Howard and odd uses of terminology, referring to her as “starlet” (sic) and describing her contribution as a member of The Incredible String Band as “support” when she was clearly a full member of the band from 1968 - 1974!

Yes she joined Scientology and the guys flirted with this so called ‘religion' too and yet it is only Licorice who seems to have stayed the course (it is one centred on training in control of emotional responses via E-Meter usage until one becomes ‘clear’) and this may (or may not) have to do with her lack of social or media profile and also her ultimate disappearance 

The myth has it that she was last seen walking off into the desert is a romantic notion and yet leads us ultimately nowhere. There have been reports since and this are easily verified and well documented else where so this cursory look at her disappearance tells us nothing we didn’t already know

The ‘dangerous mind’ here is Lafayette Ron Hubbard former Sc-Fi pulp fiction writer author of Dianetics and found of the batshit crazy thought control system Scientology and the connection is worthy of more serious exploration than this - A.S.

Mo’ Mississippi . . . . (John Hurt that is) | ZERO G SOUND

 

Mississippi John Hurt - Worried Blues 1963

Zero hat gesagt: Together with 1963's "Avalon Blues" (as opposed to the similarly titled compendium of 1928 recordings), “Worried Blues "represents the best of Mississippi John Hurt's later work, following his rediscovery in the early 1960s.

As much a folk musician as a bluesman, Hurt included traditional and devotional music as well as blues in his oeuvre. His wide-ranging repertoire here is highlighted by "Farther Along" and "Oh Mary, Don't You Weep." Accompanied only by his guitar, Hurt is a compelling, engaging performer who eschews gimmickry. The ease with which he plays creates a peacefulness at the center of this music that's undeniably appealing. --Genevieve Williams

Tracklist:

1 Lazy Blues 3:20

2 Farther Along 3:51

3 Sliding Delta 5:09

4 Nobody Cares For Me 3:38

5 Cow Hooking Blues No. 2 3:46

Shakespears Sister - Stay (1992)

 This popped up . . . . . . 

extraordinary artists both

If this world is wearing thin

And you're thinking of escape

I'll go anywhere with you

Just wrap me up in chains

But if you try to go out alone

Don't think I'll understand

(Stay) Stay with me

Stay with me

In the silence of your room

In the darkness of your dreams

You must only think of me

There can be no in-betweens

When your pride is on the floor

I'll make you beg for more

(Stay) Stay with me

Stay with me

You'd better hope and pray

That you make it safe back to your own world

You'd better hope and pray

That you wake one day in your own world

'Cuz when you sleep at night

They don't hear your cries in your own world

Only time will tell

If you can break the spell back in your own world

(Stay) Stay with me

Jimmy Cliff: (30 July 1944 - 24 November 2025) Anthology 2003 | URBANASPIRINES | Kostas

Jimmy Cliff: (30 July 1944 - 24 November 2025) Anthology 2003

So Kostas responds in kind and posts an anthology compilation of our dear Jimmy Cliff, UK based since the late sixties he remained an icon of Reggae all his life and possessed the great gift of a stunningly beautiful voice read on here . . . . . . . our thoughts are with his widow and his children

James Chambers (30 July 1944 – 24 November 2025), known professionally as Jimmy Cliff, was a Jamaican ska, rocksteady, reggae and soul musician, multi-instrumentalist, singer and actor. He is considered one of Jamaica's most celebrated musicians, and has been credited with helping to popularise reggae music internationally. At the time of his death, he was the only living reggae musician to hold the Order of Merit, the highest honour that can be granted by the Jamaican government for achievements in the arts and sciences. He was also nominated for the Grammy Awards seven times, winning twice. A shining star of reggae since the early '60s, Jimmy Cliff was one of the most powerful factors in bringing Jamaican music to worldwide popularity with both his powerful songs of peace and unity and his lead role in the 1972 film The Harder They Come. Cliff's star power in the movie might have been his most visible contribution to making the entire world aware of reggae, but his music remained his primary focus for decades afterward. 

If you don’t really have anything you can't go far wrong with this two CDs anthology with 42 faultless tracks

Tori Amos - PBS Soundstage Chicago USA 2003 | Albums That Should Exist,

 Tori Amos - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 5-2-2003

Paul says: Here's an episode of the great "PBS Soundstage" TV show, starring Tori Amos.

Amos had most of her commercial success in the 1990s and early 2000s. All five of her 1990s albums reached Platinum status (sales of a million or more) is the U.S. Her last Gold status album (sales of half a million or more) was in 2002, with "Scarlet's Walk," the album she was touring to support at the time of this concert. Also, if you look at the crowd-sourced ratings of her albums at rateyourmusic.com, her albums through "Scarlet's Walk" are her most highly rated ones. So this was a good time for a Soundstage episode from her.

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. 

This album is 59 minutes long.

Our Ali in Oz : Alison Moyet - Australia 2025 | Albums That Should Exist

 Alison Moyet - Plenary Hall, Melbourne, Australia, 6-1-2025

ATSE’s Paul says: Here's a concert recording from just five months ago as I post this in November 2025, starring Alison Moyet.

I don't post music from the recent past like this very often. One of the main reasons for that is sound quality. One can find a steady steam of audience recordings of concerts that happened mere days ago, but I try to avoid audience boots due to the sound quality issue. However, this one is different. It's a rare IEM (in ear monitor) recording. That's a broadcast within the concert venue so the band members can hear what the others are doing. Somehow, someone made a bootleg out of that here. The sound quality is like an excellent soundboard or FM radio broadcast, which is rare for a concert only a few months old.

Moyet was touring to support her new album "Key." This was her first album in seven years. It mostly consists of rerecordings of songs from earlier in her career, but given different arrangements, and most of the songs are deep cuts.

While the sound quality is great overall, there was one problem: for her banter between songs, there was a lot of reverb or echo on her voice. So I ran all the banter tracks through the Adobe voice enhancement program, which brings clarity to voices. 

This album is an hour and 35 minutes long.

John Prine: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert March 2018

Again someone posted a clip of Summers End from this mini set from John Prine at Bob Boilen’s Tiny Desk Concert over at the redoubtable NPR  . . . . I was going to start the day with a frivolous funny Snoopy series but on hearing Jimmy Cliff had died I was in no mood to. So I will sign off the day with another favourite pioneer we miss sorely . . . . . . night all stay safe and cuddle up if you can thew loves are running. . . . . . 

So here is the full set

March 12, 2018 | Bob Boilen -- "An American treasure came to the Tiny Desk and even premiered a new song. John Prine is a truly legendary songwriter. For more than 45 years the 71-year-old artist has written some of the most powerful lyrics in the American music canon, including "Sam Stone," "Angel From Montgomery," "Hello In There" and countless others. John Prine's new songs are equally powerful and he opens this Tiny Desk concert with "Caravan of Fools," a track he wrote with Pat McLaughlin and Dan Auerbach. Prine adds a disclaimer to the song saying, "any likeness to the current administration is purely accidental." That song, and his second tune, the sweet tearjerker "Summer's End," are from John Prine's first album of new songs in 13 years, The Tree of Forgiveness, produced by Dave Cobb. It was recorded with his longtime band in Nashville's legendary RCA Studio A. Guests include Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires. There's even a songwriter's co-credit with Phil Spector. For this Tiny Desk Concert John Prine also reaches back to his great "kiss-off" song from 1991 called "All the Best," and then plays "Souvenirs," a song intended for his debut full-length but released the following year on his 1972 album Diamonds in the Rough. It's just one of the many sentimental ballads Prine has gifted us. Over the years, his voice has become gruffer and deeper, due in part to his battle with squamous cell cancer on the right side of his neck, all of which makes this song about memories slipping by feel all the more powerful and sad." "Broken hearts and dirty windows Make life difficult to see That's why last night and this mornin' Always look the same to me I hate reading old love letters For they always bring me tears I can't forgive the way they rob me Of my sweetheart's souvenirs"

Set List:

"Caravan of Fools"

"Summer's End” (John Prine, Pat McCoughlan)

"All the Best"

"Souvenirs"
