Highlife, dance music played mostly in Ghana and Nigeria, represents one of the century’s first fusions of African roots and western music, and before 1970 it ruled dancefloors across much of West Africa. […]

Dr Victor Olaiya & his All-Stars

https://amf.didiermary.fr/victor-olaiya-all-stars/

Dr Victor Olaiya is considered the bridge between Ghanaian Highlife and what would become Afrobeat.

His musical style was influenced by James Brown, with horn parts harmonized in Brown’s style, as opposed to the mostly unison lines of Afrobeat. The music includes the swinging percussion of Tony Allen, but not the syncopated style that [...]

BILL EVANS TRIO
Waltz For Debby
1985 U.S. reissue

Another perfect choice for a delightful, lazy Sunday afternoon.

I’m a big fan of the quiet-ish mellow Bill Evans records, and other than You Must Believe In Spring, this might be my favorite one.

It’s so laid back, so beautiful, and one of those all-purpose any time, anywhere kind of records.

Maximum Sunday chillage.

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.

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”.
