  1. Jazz​/​The African Sound

    amf.didiermary.fr/jazz-african

    “Jazz​/​The African Sound” by Chris McGregor & The Castle Lager Big Band, one of the most important African records of all time, a lost global jazz classic, and a true holy grail for collectors of Jazz and WorldJazz.

    Christopher McGregor (1936 – 1990) was a South African Jazz pianist, bandleader and composer born in Somerset […]

It happens at The Fillmore East in New York. Or, did he? The date is often mistakenly marked as their live debut at the Fillmore East. But, those summer dates had to be postponed…

    #TheBand #MusicFromBigPink #60smusic #americana #garthhudson #levonhelm #richardmanuel #rickdanko #robbierobertson #rootsrock #music #Musicsky #musiciansky #rock #rockmusic The Band release their debut album. "Big Pink" is the house shared by Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson in West Saugerties, New York. Dylan was there but insisted on staying in the background wanting The Band to make their own debut and statement with the record.

  9. JOHN LEE HOOKER
    It Serve You Right To Suffer
    2025 Worldwide reissue

    An incredible Acoustic Sounds Series reissue of what very well may be might favorite blues album of all time.

    I bought this about 6 months ago when I realized that my original U.S. pressing had had its last spin.
    Couldn’t be more pleased to have such a stunning sounding replacement for it.

    “Country Boy” is the greatest late-night blues tune in history; perfect for when you’re exhausted, waiting for the last few minutes of the day to tick away.

    “Sometime in travellin'
    I travel when nights are blue
    Sometime my night
    My night so dark and blue
    But I keep on travellin'
    No place to lay my worried head”

    Man is that ever right.

    JLH til the end of time.

    This is for Jan 30, 2026, #Kid

    The Who, “The Kids Are Alright” soundtrack, 1979

    I encountered this film at the height of my Who mania, and it was EVERYTHING to me. It has grainy black-and-white footage of early gigs, TV appearances including the moment on the Smothers Brothers when Keith destroyed Pete’s hearing with explosives (not a metaphor), performances at The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus and at Woodstock, the video for “Success Story,” an outstanding deep cut of John’s (with the studio recording from “Who By Numbers," not included on the soundtrack album), their last appearance with Keith at Shephardson Studios, staged expressly for the film, and more. What it didn't have is the song “The Kids Are Alright.” (Seems they’ve added it onto the later DVD and Blu-ray releases behind additional closing credits, but I liked their little joke better.)

    One of the best segments of the film/selections on the album, and itself somewhat in keeping with the “kid” theme, is their performance of Mose Allison’s “Young Man’s Blues.” The attitude of the original was already pure punk; in The Who’s hands, this jazz/blues piano piece becomes muscular, even menacing.

    They fucking kill it.

  12. THE BOX TOPS
    The Letter / Neon Rainbow
    1967 Canada MONO pressing

    It’s hard to believe that Alex Chilton was only 17 when this The Box Tops record came out.

    And although this album is awesome, I don’t think anybody could have seen Big Star coming.

    “The Letter” is one of the most perfect songs ever recorded. In one song, it takes The Box Tops less than two minutes to say what it took bands like The Grateful Dead 17 hours to NOT say.

    This was the only record that Bill Cunningham and Danny Smythe were ever on, and their work is exemplary, particularly Cunningham’s bass and backing vocals.
    The two of them were gone and replaced the very next year.

    A gem of an album, but it’s all about “The Letter”.

    Lots of people are probably familiar with "Abraham, Martin, and John", but have you heard the amazingly awesome and soulful psychedelic blues track on the b-side?
