Jobe he say: 

PRONOUNCED  JAH-SEE

"Here's a guy who probably didn't get a lot of chicks in high school, didn't have a souped-up car, wasn't on the track team, and just not popular at all. So....he spent his time dissecting every David Bowie, Marc Bolan, and Sweet record note by note. Then to top it off this guy is from West Viginia, the home of T.A.C.O. country. I think this is one of the best things out there right now. However your mileage may vary.  “

BLIMEY!

THERE’S GOOD ROCKING TONIGHT!

Paul Simon – The Complete MTV Unplugged - Kaufman Astoria Studios New York 1992

this from XRay - he used to be Ray - a special and I personally tend to forget quite how important Paul Simon is and was to me from really early on from Homeward Bound (written about my birthplace! no less) Two Friends/Book Ends to The Boxer, 50 Ways, Me n Julio, Late In The Evening (single retrieved from the bargain bins!) Bridge (of course) and the ultimate powerful hit of, and arguing, over Graceland (a favourite album of my beloved brother, Steve’s)

This a FM recording in New York 1992

No notes from Xray but it must be good right its Radio broadcast and FBS quality. . . . .

Richard Thompson - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: In Concert, Hammersmith Palais, London UK 1986 | Albums That Should Exist

Richard Thompson - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: In Concert, Hammersmith Palais, London, Britain, 11-20-1986

Paul says : Here's another volume of Richard Thompson performing for the BBC. This time, it's a concert from 1986.

"Volume 2" is a concert from 1985. This concert is pretty similar, except it's shorter. Most likely, it was edited down to fit an hour-long radio slot. That includes getting rid of pretty much any banter between songs. Between the 1985 show and this one, however, Thompson released another studio album, "Daring Adventures." So there are three songs performed from that album here: "Valerie," "Jennie," and "A Bone through Her Nose." Too bad "Al Bowlly's in Heaven" from that album also wasn't included, since I think it's one of his greatest songs. (But a version of that song was included in "Volume 1.")

Six of the songs here made it onto the official box set "Live at the BBC." Those are tracks 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, and 10. The rest are unreleased, from the BBC broadcast. The lead vocals were rather low on some songs, especially the unreleased ones, so I adjusted that using the UVR5 audio editing program.

During this tour, like the 1985, the folk duo of Clive Gregson and Christine Collister were a part of Thompson's band, helping with backing vocals and Gregson guitar. So that's why one song, "Like a Man," has the lead vocals by Gregson.  

This album is 56 minutes long.All songs Richard except where noted

01 The Angels Took My Racehorse Away 
02 Valerie 
03 Jennie 
04 A Bone through Her Nose 
05 When the Spell Is Broken 
06 Like a Man (Richard Thompson with Clive Gregson)
07 You Don't Say 
08 Fire in the Engine Room (
09 Wall of Death 
10 Nearly in Love
11 Tear-Stained Letter  

Again I should prominently feature this selection as I was one of the folk who requested more Thompson from Paul’s seeking requests (yeah, you and a thousand others? - ED)

Flagging Down The Double E | RAY PADGETT Newsletter

Tour the World via the Hotel Stationary Bob Dylan Wrote Songs On

Part 1: North America

RAY PADGETT MAY 30

Bob Dylan’s collaborators have long recalled stories of him writing down song lyrics on any piece of paper lying around: Paper bags, receipts, cocktail napkins, etc. When an idea strikes, he jots it down on whatever’s at hand. And, given how much of his life he spends on the road, whatever’s at hand is often hotel stationary. When an old lyric draft surfaces—usually via either the Dylan Archives (their book was a goldmine) or an auction—odds are decent it’ll written be on hotel stationary. The New York Times noted as much in a 2016 article exploring the archives: “The range of hotel stationery suggests an obsessive self-editor in constant motion.”

So I decided to create a World Tour Guide exploring the locales where Dylan has written songs—based entirely on hotel stationary. Asking questions like: Where did he stay, when was he there, what songs did he write, and, most importantly (debatable), how does the stationary look? 

I found 13 different hotel-stationary lyrics to explore. Today, the first part of our tour travels to hotels across North America. In a few days, the second part will venture out into the rest of the world.

A few notes and caveats before we begin our journey:

1. He’s written a lot of other stuff on hotel stationary too: Setlists, letters, doodles (some fun ones here). But I’m focusing only on song lyrics.

2. It’s even more specific than that, actually. I’m focusing on song lyrics written when he’s actively working on the new song. As opposed to, say, his recent art series Mondo Scripto where he transcribes decades-old lyrics, though some of those are on hotel stationary too.

3. Lastly, for this travel guide to work, I need to be able to pin down the specific hotel. There are a couple drafts where the stationary only says a chain name like Marriott, without specifying which Marriott. I skipped those. They could be anywhere.

Okay, let’s begin. Hopefully this guide can be expanded one day with more released publicly—I know many more such drafts lurk in the archives—but here are the ones we can look at right now. Get your passports renewed. It’s time to hit the road.
