  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.

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…

  21. 🎡 RIP Freddy Cannon 🎡

    I played his 1962 single Palisades Park over and over as a child ...

    🎵 You'll never know how great a kiss can feel
    When you stop at the top of a ferris wheel 🎵

    Born in Revere, Mass in 1936, he was 89 when he passed

"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.

  27. KENSINGTON MARKET
    Aardvark
    1969 Canada pressing

    I found this record in a thrift store around 2007 when I first moved to B.C..
    I had never heard of them before, so I took a gamble.

    They were a Canadian band from Toronto, and Aardvark contains wistful, breezy, #psychedelic pop songs.
    Couple odd facts about the personnel here:
    There’s some occasional keyboard here played by Jon Mills-Cockell, who is better known for his role in the more well-known Canadian band Syrinx.
    And oddly, drummer Jimmy Watson is Van Morrison’s cousin.

    With the exception of “Dorian” (which pushes nearly 7 minutes), all these songs are around 3 minutes or less, making for an enjoyable, compact listen of #60s #Psych Canadiana.

  28. @barrd I would also have thrown Shout in there, coincidentally. Perhaps ‘Downtown’ (not the Abbey) from Petula Clark? Choosing just *ONE* of The Monkees (not a real band) oeuvre would be a tough one, but I’m rather fond of ‘Daydream Believer’. And, perhaps more obscurely, but an absolute gem, IMO: Elenore by The Turtles.

    Pitch in, all you lurkers, and contribute.

  29. Thought of one for @Kitty's #TuneTuesday theme this week, #SongBaton - one song that goes into another.

    These are next to each other on the album. When radio plays them, they ALWAYS play them both, they go together so well.

    Zep - Heartbreaker into Living Loving Maid. Vinyl pops, crackles and all! The TOO HOT version with too much bass!
