  1. FRED NEIL
    Everybody's Talkin'
    1971 U.S. reissue
    [orange labels]

    A masterful songwriter, and a dude that had a LOT to do with a young Bob Dylan hitting the stage at Cafe Wha? in Greenwich Village.

    It still shocks me how many people think that “Everybody’s Talkin’” is a Harry Nilsson song, when in fact it was Neil who wrote it.
    That song only became a hit when Nilsson’s version was featured in the 1969 movie Midnight Cowboy.

    SUCH a hit that Neil’s self-titled ‘66 album (THIS ONE), was reissued under the name Everybody’s Talkin’, in order to capitalize on the film’s (and song’s) success.

    The album however is much more than that one song.
    The Dolphins is absolutely beautiful, as is Neil’s take on the traditional tune “Sweet Cocaine”.

    A laid back and stellar 38 minutes.
    Just such a great record.

    #blindfaith #60srock #60smusic #classicrock #ericclapton #gingerbaker #ricgrech #stevewinwood #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky The first and only album from the first-ever supergroup is released on August 9, 1969. Buzzworthy not only because of Clapton, Winwood, Grech and Baker but also because of the album cover. Bob Seidemann, who has photographed the Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin, is hired to take the cover shot.

  34. 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.

  37. Today would have been Robert Moog's birthday, and he is of course the inventor of the incredibly awesome-sounding Moog synthesizer that you'll hear everywhere in rock music.

    My introduction to the Moog was in the early 90s, I picked up Gary Numan's brilliant album Telekon in a tiny record store in Maryland when I was a teen. I was hooked. I still listen to it.

    youtube.com/watch?v=WW_dgV9sYn

    My second big Moog exposure was on the album Return of the Rentals by the Rentals, the side project of former Weezer bass player Matt Sharp. ANOTHER great album.

    youtube.com/watch?v=wi-H6ohY37

    One more album you might know Moog synths from is of course Abbey Road, one of the first to have Moog on it, specifically a bunch on "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and even "Here Comes the Sun".

    Long live that killer Moog sound!
