It’s Knopfler time on deck. The critters in the yard don’t mind. 😉 Although the fox I just saw scoot across the yard mighta been a little freaked out. I really should get a trail cam.

Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn't take too long
Can't you see there'll come a day when it won't matter?
Come a day when you'll be gone, whoa-oh-oh
I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People livin' in competition
All I want is to have my Peace Of Mind

It's driven heavily by John Paul Jones' synthesizers and keyboards and the album sounds like a shift away from the heavy blues stuff to more of a prog rock, synth sound. Paige, Plant and Bonham have their…

So Far

CSNY release their first compilation/best-of album on August 19, 1974. They released this album after that monster summer stadium tour in 1974. The band didn't want to release a "greatest hits" album after just two albums, Graham Nash called it "absurd." It's sold over 6M albums. So far. #CSNY #sofar #70srock #classicrock #davidcrosby #stephenstills #grahamnash #neilyoung #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #jonimitchell

Dire Straits

#direstraits #classicrock #markknopfler #70srock #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #rock #rockmusic The debut album hit like a ... shiver in the dark ... June 9, 1978 in the UK ... October '78 in the USA. It arrived at the height of punk and disco but it broke through heartily with its stripped-back rock sound and Mark Knopfler's signature fingerpicking style.

Wave

Patti Smith Group released Wave on May 17, 1979. It's produced by Todd Rundgren and features a love song to The Godmother of Punk's future husband, Fred "Sonic" Smith. It's the final album before Patti's nearly decade-long retirement to raise her family. Todd's presence helped Patti transition from the gritty CBGB punk scene into a mainstream rock poet. #pattismith #pattismithgroup #wave #70srock #rockmusic #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #soncismith…

May 3, 1976 ~ The Toxic Twins are back in the saddle with the album Rolling Stone put at #366 on their list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time."

The Clash release their debut album on April 8, 1977. (The US version didn't arrive until July 1979.)

Look what turns 50 today …

The 7th from Led Zeppelin ~ released on March 31, 1976. It's an album created at a difficult time -- during Robert Plant's convalescence from a serious auto accident. Critics weren't too excited about it and it's the lowest selling Zepp album in the catalog. But its genius has become apparent over time. #ledzeppelin #rock #bluesrock #presence #robertplant #jimmypage #johnpauljones #johnbonham #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #70srock

“Back To The Clubs”

March 21, 1971 ~ Led Zeppelin made a stop at the Boat Club in Nottingham, England during their "Back To The Clubs" tour. It was -- and still is -- a rowing club and intimate music venue. One can only imagine The Zepp in their prime in that setting. #ledzeppelin #70srock #rock #rockmusic #robertplant #jimmypage #johnpauljones #johnbonham #music #musicsky #musiciansky

Crystal Ball (1976)*
-- Tommy Shaw / Styx

* - Yep, this is the elusive 'lost verse' of Crystal Ball ... I suppose you could make an argument that it originated in 2016 (first time recorded, live by Tommy Shaw at a solo show), but the lyric itself was indeed born in 1975 (and the song released [via album] in 1976) ... any inaccuracies here can be chalked up to the mystery behind the lost verse and predictable interweb balderdash ...
