Sunday Mewsics! |The Bhundu Boys - Hupenyu Hwangu (1987) | GUESS I’M DUMB
The Bhundu Boys - Hupenyu Hwangu (1987)“My life - the happy and enduring life of a musician” Fantastically joyous and catchy guitar based jit from Zimbabwe. Their incredible LP Shabini was absolutely essential in my appreciation of African music. Rise Kagona’s skittering guitars are a masterclass."
Oh we like the Bhundu Boys!
Love that sound . . . . I worked with guys from Southern Africa who introduced me to a whole range of fine fine music!

Remembering Amy Winehouse (14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011)
You Know I’m No Good
Such a stupid tragic loss of life and I cannot listen to Rehab without it causing me pain, hugely irresponsible song and stupid message that did so much harm but if ever there were a cautionary tale this is it!
Super stellar talent that nobody understood including me quite where it came from, the musical styling and the gift of a jazz voice par excellence ruined oh so quickly by drink and drugs so that she had hardly contributed enough to become more than a footnote at aged 28.
“She was this moody, chubby, Jewish-looking teenager,” says Annabel Williams, her singing coach with the NYJO. “She seemed fairly quiet and uninterested. Amy first stood out to me when she was in the centre of all the musicians and started singing. I was just like, Woah, she’s amazing. She absolutely nailed it and I was so impressed.”
From here, Winehouse began performing back room pub sets, facing a crowd with just her voice and acoustic guitar. At the same time, she began guesting with a loose north London collective called The Bolsha Band, through which she met her long-term live keyboard-player Sam Beste.
“She said to me, ‘Do you like Thelonius Monk?’” Beste recalls. “People like Dinah Washington and Ray Charles and Donny Hathaway, she really connected with those musicians on a very deep, emotional, raw level. There was a strange awkwardness about Amy. Even in those early days when we were playing the small clubs, she wasn’t really engaging with an audience in the way that an entertainer would. She was a bit in her own world.”
Mark Ronson still marvels at the memory of watching Winehouse in the moments when she lost herself in songwriting. “The thunderbolt strikes the head, the pen scribbles furiously and that’s the song,” he says. “When she wrote, there was no editing. It came out, like, this is the truth and this is how it’s gonna stay. She never second-guessed that and that’s why those lyrics are from another place.”

From the SEALYMAN! | ARTIST of THE WEEK | ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO - Castanets - Five Hearts Breaking - TINY DESK concert at NPR
so Sealyman dropped to say "check this out Swapperoonie"! Continuing the shared passion of Texas Rockers or New York/ Texas connection with fellow Chuckster (Prophet that is - where ya bin?) they have played together Sealyman tells me
Alejandro Escovedo - Castanets live (Check the Lou Reed tribute with the opening feedback!)
Music In The Bridge: Alejandro Escovedo, "Five Hearts Breaking" 30/4/16
if still not too sure who these Tex Mex connected freaks are check this Tiny Desk Job
NPR Says
"When Alejandro Escovedo and his backing band known as Don Antonio set up behind the Tiny Desk, their first sounds were blistering loud. That's when we broke the news: We wouldn't amplify Alejandro's voice. We got a slightly sullen look from the band; but despite the toned-down volume, they were all still amped up. The musician, who once opened for the Sex Pistols, obliged with a smile and seemed to appreciate the difference between being pelted with spit and debris by punk rock fans and being showered with loving appreciation in the NPR Music office. Escovedo pulled the three-song set from The Crossing, the most recent chapter in his ongoing odyssey and a typically hard-rocking, literate saga about two teenagers looking for their American Dream of rock and roll and beat poetry. The close quarters of the Tiny Desk allows for a kind of backstage insight into the musical and visual interplay between Escovedo and the veteran Italian band Don Antonio. Lead guitarist Antonio Gramentieri is the perfect foil for Escovedo, who adds a heavy dose of edginess to the sound with his power strumming. Alejandro Escovedo fans are a close-knit group. We've followed his lead and have been treated to various musical aggregations over the years. But as you see in this video, this setup seems to be working just fine and may be his strongest yet." Set List "Teenage Luggage" "Something Blue" "Sonica USA" Musicians

This very early live recording of Emmylou Harris and the Hot Band was made at London's New Victoria Theater, when the budding country-rocker was still an opening act.
Only 26-minutes long, the set is still a very good overview of what Harris and the early "Hots" sounded like. Harris was discovered singing in a Washington bar in 1972 by former Byrd Chris Hillman, who was then fronting The Flying Burrito Brothers. The Burritos had just lost Gram Parson (another ex-Byrd member), who had departed to record a solo album for Warner Brothers. In the end, Hillman referred Harris to Parsons, who immediately hired her for his solo band. She toured with him and made two albums until 1973, when Parson died abruptly from an overdose, the story of which she chronicled in the original song "Boulder To Birmingham," included here.
Upon Parsons' death, Harris met and eventually married record producer Brian Ahern, who encouraged her to do a solo album and form a band. The Hot Band was made up of the best L.A. and Memphis session players (James Burton had played guitar for Elvis), and future members would include Rodney Crowell, Ricky Scaggs and Albert Lee.
This show encompasses a wide variety of material over its short length, including Harris' country remake of the Smokey Robinson and The Miracles classic "Shop Around," The Louvin Brothers' "If Only I Could Win Your Love," her arrangement of Merle Haggard's "The Bottle Let Me Down" and, of course, material written by Gram Parsons.

Albums That Should Exist : VH1 STORYTELLERS series CSNY Santa Monica USA 2000
Speaking of Graham Nash . . . . . [loose link from the Hollies ‘He Ain’t Heavy’], the Storytellers series carries on over at ATSE!
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - VH-1 Storytellers, MTV-VH-1 Studios, Santa Monica, CA, 2-18-2000
In 1999, CSNY had one of their occasional reunions, putting out the studio album "Looking Forward." Like most later CSN and CSNY studio albums, it had overproduction issues and song selection issues, so it wasn't nearly as good as it should have been. But all four of them remained talented songwriters just the same. That can be seen by the two songs here from that album, "Dream for Him" and "Seen Enough."
Other than those two, all the songs were classics from the late 1960s and early 1970s. There was a mix of acoustic and full-band performances. This was one of the first concerts for the band's 2000 tour, their first big tour as CSNY since 1974.
As I've done with most of these, I had to do a lot of editing to fix the flow from song to song. For instance, oftentimes, the applause cut off abruptly, so I'd have to patch in more applause from somewhere else. I made an especially bit edit for the song "Helplessly Hoping," which is why that one has "[Edit]" in its title. As this series usually did, it started part way through the first song. So I found a soundboard version from the band's 2000 tour, and used that to fill in the missing part.
This album is 45 minutes long.

Bob Dylan live in Stanhope New Jersey USA 1988 | so many roads
Bob Dylan - 1988-09-10 - Stanhope NJ (SBD)
Bob Dylan1988-09-10Waterloo VillageStanhope, NJSoundboard Recording
Now I think visitors will know I really stopped posting links to Bob Dylan live sets unless they were special somehow. We have every night seemingly recorded as they happen and some soundboards are really odd in their balance with the vocals down low and the bass quite heavy for reasons best known by anyone who is in charge of the soundboards in the past ten, twenty years (sic!) but here’s a little gem from our Speedy. Highly listenable and whilst warm in places and some songs clipped it is well worth trying. I am listening to nothing else this morning! Check out whoever is on lead guitar (
xx. Subterranean Homesick Blues (missing)xx. It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue (missing)xx. Masters of War (missing)01. Ballad Of A Thin Man02. Shelter From The Storm03. Highway 61 Revisited04.

Line up:
Bob Dylan (vocal & guitar);

Kenny Aaronson (bass);
Christopher Parker (drums).
Speedy says:
In May 1988, Bob Dylan released Down In The Groove, his 25th studio album. While the disc did not receive good reviews, nor sell particularly well, Dylan launched a summer tour in support of the album. The 1988 tour marked a dramtic shift for Dylan in his live performances. Where in prior years, Dylan’s live shows often featured collaborations with high-profile artists such as Mick Taylor, the Grateful Dead, and Tom Petty, the 1988 run centered around a small, 'garage rock'-type combo, consisting of guitarist G.E. Smith, bassist Kenny Aaronson, and drummer Christopher Parker. Influenced by his time with the Grateful Dead, Dylan’s set list became more adventurous, with song selection varying from show to show. He also began to incorporate more traditional cover songs into the set lists. For Dylan, the 1988 concerts would be the start of what is now known as the Never Ending Tour, which is now over 3 and a half decades and over 3000 shows strong. This soundboard recording captures Dylan during that historic 1988 tour, in Stanhope on September 10, 1988, 3 dozen years ago today.
