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.

Blind Faith

#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.

🎡 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

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.
