JS 1983 - Back To Back - #1: After John Sebastian left the Lovin Spoonful in 1968, he embarked on a solo career that never quite acheived the same level of critical or commercial success. The one major exception was his 1976 number 1 single, Welcome Back, which served as the theme song to the televison comedy Welcome Back, Kotter, starring Gabel Kaplan in the title role.
This soundboard recording captures Sebastian some 7 years later, during the early show at Rockefeller's in Houston, playing that tune along with plenty of songs from his Lovin' Spoonful days. Download this one, then come back in a few hours for part 2 of this Back to Back set.

Knowing my penchant for music of the Caribbean from Calypso and Mento to Soca to Rock Steady, Ska and Reggae, I didn’t know the legendary musical social historian Alan Lomax had conveyed anything but the blues . . . so this at it’s 11 CD collection is truly fascinating!
ALAN LOMAX
VA - Caribbean Voyage "Alan Lomax's 1962 Field Recordings" [1997-2004] (11 x CDs)
"This series documents Alan Lomax’s 1962 journey through the Caribbean, a trip that produced one of the most detailed sonic portraits of the region ever assembled. Across the full run of volumes, the recordings capture local traditions at a moment when many were still rooted in community practice rather than commercial performance. The sets move from Trinidad and Tobago to Dominica, Grenada, Carriacou, St. Lucia, and beyond, each disc shaped by the voices, rhythms, and stories of the people Lomax encountered. The material is presented with minimal interference, allowing the texture of place to remain intact.
The early volumes focus on work songs, ritual pieces, and dance forms that had developed over generations. The voices are unpolished, the percussion handmade, and the performances shaped by the settings in which they were recorded. Lomax’s microphone catches the sound of open air, shifting crowds, and the natural pulse of communal music‑making. As the series progresses, the range widens. String bands, chantwells, spiritual leaders, and festival groups appear, each carrying a distinct regional identity while sharing rhythmic and melodic threads that link the islands.
Several moments stand out across the collection. The Carriacou Big Drum ceremonies reveal a deep connection between music and ancestral memory, while the Trinidadian pieces show the roots of calypso before studio polish reshaped it. The work songs from Dominica and Grenada carry a steady, unforced power, shaped by call‑and‑response patterns that speak to shared labour and shared history.
Taken as a whole, the Caribbean Voyage series forms a rare document of mid‑century Caribbean life. It preserves music that was still tied to community function, capturing voices and traditions that might otherwise have remained unheard beyond their home islands. The recordings stand as both cultural record and living soundscape, offering a clear window into a region defined by movement, memory, and rhythm." (Butterboy)
