Portrait Photo of The Day : George [Harrison of course] by DON McCULLIN 1968

 

GEORGE HARRISON

Photographed by Don McCullin, July 28, 1968.

(interesting if only that it was shot in the two parts, but a fine portrait by one of our finest ‘war’ photographers, McCullin took several shots of the Beatles and the shots around the overgrown garden of the hospital in London are legendary of a day out looning around the area where they seem to have spent all day with him!)

Little Sparks - Jessie Reid

Thought we had the answers Patterns forming on the floor Little sparks hidden in the dark Tell me can you feel it Feel it in your bones (I found love instead, it’s not all in my head) Even in the long dark days (I found love) Know you’re not alone (I found love instead, it’s not all in my head) The moments painted gold Slowly learning how to hold All we love Learn to live on what we got Tell me can you feel it Feel it in your bones (I found love instead, it’s not all in my head) Even in the long dark days (I found love) Know you’re not alone (I found love instead, it’s not all in my head) All we love Was just enough See those little sparkshidden in the dark All we love Was just enough See those Little sparkshidden in the dark All we love Was just enough See those Little sparks hidden in the dark Hidden in the dark. Tell me can you feel it Feel it in your bones (I found love instead, it’s not all in my head) Even in the long dark days (I found love) Know you’re not alone (I found love instead, it’s not all in my head)

Covered: Neil Young, Volume 8: 2016-2020 | Albums That Should Exist

 Covered: Neil Young, Volume 8: 2016-2020

Paul says: As I write this, I’m sitting in an airplane, about to fly back to the U.S. I’m glad to see my plan to keep posting albums while on vacation has worked out. 

Here’s the next album in the Neil Young “Covered” series. There are two albums to go after this one. Once more, thanks to Fabio from Rio from doing most of the heavy lifting for these albums. Here is the intro to his notes:

By the late 2010s, Neil Young's songwriting had fully entered the digital age of reinterpretation. Covers were no longer limited to traditional tribute albums or major-label releases. Many now emerged through independent recordings, Bandcamp releases, streaming platforms, and fan communities online. At the same time, a younger generation of indie-folk, Americana, and roots musicians continued to rediscover Young's catalog, often gravitating toward the emotional honesty and melodic simplicity that have always defined his best work. Meanwhile, Young himself remained active both musically and politically, releasing albums that addressed environmental and social issues while also opening vast portions of his archival material through the Neil Young Archives project. The performances collected here reflect that ecosystem: established artists, roots musicians, and independent performers revisiting both classics and deep cuts from across his remarkable career.
