  1. MICK RONSON
    Slaughter On 10th Avenue
    1974 Canada pressing

    Another one I unearthed from the boxes in my basement, and another I forgot I had.

    A glam rock record from Bowie’s guitarist in The Spiders From Mars, with orchestral arrangements; mixed with originals, covers and instrumentals. It’s the same lush sounding arrangements deployed on the early 70s Bowie albums.

    The true gem here is “Only After Dark”, Ronson’s best known song about evening behaviours and desires.
    There’s also a cool Bruce Springsteen cover of “Growing Up And I’m Fine”, a very obscure choice at the time by a then little-known artist from New Jersey.

    Fun record.

  14. Happy #RollingThunder kickoff anniversary!

    To celebrate, I spoke with the late, great #MickRonson's longtime partner Suzi about the touches of glam the famous #DavidBowie sideman brought to #BobDylan's band, and her own time on the road with the Revue.
