  1. Some great shows this week.
    First up: Don Was and the Pan Detroit Ensemble.
    Kickass show. We saw them 6 months ago in a very nice sit-down theater.

  3. Bonnie Raitt, Nick of Time, 1989 on Capitol

    Although this was Bonnie Raitt's big commercial breakthrough—and maybe where I first heard her?—it was actually her tenth studio album. (Later I'd find her back catalogue which has much to recommend in it). It was also her first on Capitol, having been dropped by Warner Bros. It was produced by Don Was (future Blue Note president), with whom she'd collaborated on Stay Awake. Includes John Hiatt's "Thing Called Love" as well as the title track Raitt wrote.

  4. Bob Dylan – „Shadow Kingdom“ (2021)

    Auf ARTE ist Verlass, wenn es darum geht, zuverlässig den Soundtrack für die Feiertage zu liefern. Gut abgehangene Aufzeichnungen historischer Konzerte, immer auch durchmischt mit aktuellen Produktionen neueren Datums.

  6. Saw this show in Denver last night. It was great.
    Don Was and the Pan Detroit Ensemble. Blues for Allah in the middle of the set, most of the songs from Don's new album sandwiching it.

    Here's a good recording of a show in DC from 2 weeks ago:

  7. Album Forever's A Long, Long Time bylo jediným výstřelem kapely Orquestra Was, kterou v roce 1997 sestavil Don Was po konci funkových špionů Was (Not Was). Píseň Hanka Williamse "I Ain't Got Nothin' But Time" nazpíval Sweet Pea Atkinson. Právě teď ji najdete na prvním fleku mého spotify #VelkýSummitPlaylist.

  8. Was (Not Was) nebyli jen kapelou. Byli převlekem. Detroit, funk, paranoia, humor jako brnění charakteru. Špioni v domě funku, kteří se smáli apokalypse dřív, než byla realitou.
