Kelly Boesch - Golden In The Sun [new album 'Fairytale' announced]

 Might sign off with this one from Kelly Boesch as it mentions her new debut album which you can pre-order if you follow the links . . . . .she and her work fascinate me


Kelly says:
This song will be on my upcoming album. It was out last year but I never posted it on streaming. I wrote this song one day when I was thinking back about when I lived in Nashville for a time and it would get cold and gloomy for long periods in the winter and things would all turn brown. It used to really get me down. Then a beautiful sunny day would come along and, even if there was snow on the ground, I would find a spot in the sunshine and just sit there with a blanket and let the sun warm my soul. And that feeling was so powerful. Like getting a recharge. I am not a sun worshiper and never lay out or anything like that. But I do like to stop for a period in the mornings and just feel the sun on my face. It feel like magic to me.

Golden In The Sun
[Verse]
I find it funny how life is
So beautiful and full of love
I find it funny how life is
So cruel and so tough
[Chorus]
But oh
I’m golden in the sun
I’m so glad that I can breathe
I love the air
I love the trees
I’m so happy to be me
[Verse 2]
Sometimes the rain won’t stop falling
And I can’t find the words to say
But then the clouds start to open
And light just pours my way
[Chorus]
Oh
I’m golden in the sun
I’m so glad that I can breathe
I love the air
I love the trees
I’m so happy to be me
[Bridge]
There’s beauty in the breaking,
Grace in the scars I see,
I’ve learned to keep on waking,
To let my heart just be free.
[Final Chorus]
Oh
I’m golden in the sun
I’m so glad that I can breathe
I love the air
I love the trees
I’m so happy
So happy to be me.

Speedy says:
Van "The Man" Morrison was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1993, along with Cream, The Doors, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Sly & The Family Stone, just to name a few.  The ever reclusive and unpredictable Mr, Morrison skipped the ceremony, having Robbie Robertson accept the honor on his behalf, while the Counting Crows were recruited to play Caravan.  

This soundboard recording features Van Morrison from The Rockpalast on April 4, 1982, 44 years ago this very day. An interesting note is that the concert actually started a 11 pm on April 3 with a set from Rick James. Van came on second, starting his performance at 1:00 am in the morning on April 4 and he would be followed by the Kinks, whose set we'll bring you a little later today! This show took place about 2 months after Van released the album Beautiful Vision, a disc which has met which mixed critical reviews over the years. For example, while Robert Christgau gave the disc a grade of A-, reviewer John Milward called it “emphatically half-great.” Opinions about the disc are so divided that Rolling Stone magazine has flipped flopped its opinion of Beautiful Vision over the years. When it first debuted, they gave the disc a 4 out of 5 rating. However, years later, they ranked it as one of the “15 worst albums by great bands.” Personally, I’m huge fan of the album and of songs such as Dweller On The Threshold, Cleaning Windows, Northern Muse, She Gives Me Religion and the title track.

VA - King R&B Box Set [1996] (4 x CDs) | Butterboy

 VA - King R&B Box Set [1996] (4 x CDs)



R&B


Collectors usually encounter The King R&B Box Set the same way they would an old archive drawer, opening it out of curiosity and then realizing how much history sits inside. Issued across four discs and drawing from the catalogue of King Records, the set gathers recordings made between 1945 and 1966, years when rhythm and blues was still defining its shape. The label’s Cincinnati operation recorded, pressed, and shipped its own records under one roof, and that practical spirit carries through the entire box.

The early stretch places the listener right inside the late-forties rhythm and blues circuit. Wynonie Harris and Roy Brown arrive with the kind of punch that once drove jukeboxes and Saturday night dances. Horns push hard, pianos roll underneath, and the recordings feel immediate rather than polished.

As the sequence settles into the mid-fifties, the character of the label broadens. Groups like The Royals bring tight vocal interplay and guitar driven arrangements, while Hank Ballard adds a tougher rhythmic edge that hints at the rock and soul currents forming around the time. The emotional tone deepens through singers such as Little Willie John, whose recordings show how King’s catalogue moved naturally toward early soul.

Instrumental blues arrives through Freddie King, his guitar lines cutting cleanly through the arrangements. Toward the end, early recordings by James Brown appear not as a grand finale but as a continuation of the sound that had been building across the discs.

CD4 closes in an unusual way. After the final music tracks, the box includes three short interview excerpts featuring King founder Syd Nathan. They are brief, almost offhand conversations, yet they place a human voice behind the label that shaped everything heard before.

Played from beginning to end, the set feels less like a retrospective and more like a long stack of original singles turning on the spindle, each one revealing another corner of the King sound. (B)

My favorite R&B Box set of the last few months... Enjoy

Bob Dylan and The Dead - John Brown

Versions and versions . . . . Bob Dylan Drifter’s Escape [Masked and Anonymous]

 


Bob Dylan Drifter's Escape Masked and Anonymous
"Drifter's Escape" is a song written by Bob Dylan that he recorded for his 1967 album John Wesley Harding. Columbia Records released it as a single in the US and the UK in 1969 as the B-side to "I Threw It All Away". The song was recorded in four takes on October 17, 1967. CBS Records International also issued the song paired with "John Wesley Harding" in some markets. Dylan wrote "Drifter's Escape" on a train in New York while traveling to the first session for the John Wesley Harding album. The lyrics provide a Kafka-esque narrative in which an outsider is oppressed by society, but not defeated. The protagonist is put on trial without knowing what the charges against him are. The judge is sympathetic, but powerless. The jury finds the protagonist guilty, but he is saved through divine intervention when the courthouse is struck by lightning. The protagonist is able to escape as his persecutors fall to their knees in prayer. Dylan leaves the orientation of the protagonist and the deus ex machina ambiguous. The protagonist could be a prophet freed by God, or he could be a false prophet freed by the devil. Several commentators have pointed to parallels between the song's story and Dylan's own experiences around the time he wrote the song. The drifter does not understand the charges against him, just as Dylan did not understand the criticism he received for moving from folk music to rock music. The jury "cried for more", just as Dylan's fans who followed his path to rock music became more oppressive. And the lightning bolt that allows the drifter to escape could be a metaphor for the "motorcycle accident" Dylan suffered in 1966. Another theme that comes through in the song is Dylan's hatred for mob violence. Biographer Clinton Heylin has noted that in writing "Drifter's Escape", Dylan found a new, economical style that allowed him to tell a five-act story in just three verses. He then went on to write more songs in a similar manner, which formed the bulk of the John Wesley Harding album. John Spoor
