    Blue Ridge Rangers

    I loved that first album, but this new one is even better.

    For sure .....had it going again ('bout the 3rd time thru) and the better half walked in and said "I thought you didn't like Country music" ??? .....couldnt come up with a quick , curt answer, but replied that generally I can take or leave it, but THIS album is very enjoyable..

    "Haunted House" brings up some of the old Fogerty growl , really fun

    I liked "Moody River" when Pat Boone did it and John does it well too

    "Change in the Weather" doesnt have the extended guitar solo of the EOZ album
    version but is a nice alternate take.

    Oddly found myself mumbling along to "Back Home Again", tho not much of a John Denver fan...

    Just looked it up: JF is abt to turn 65 ....wow we are gettin' old...

    John Cameron Fogerty Born May 28, 1945


    later, just found this:
    Fogerty has also been nominated for a Grammy Award at the upcoming 2010 Grammys. He is nominated for the Best Rock Solo Vocal Performance Grammy for the song "Change In The Weather," which he recorded for The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again.

    Been spinning a lot this week....Pousette-Dart was OK, but not remarkable.....actually Jean Luc Ponty was fun, kinda of Jarre Oxygen on fiddle...

    Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan - Stuck In The Middle With You / The Best Of Stealers Wheel
    (1978, A&M) Mastered by Frank DeLuna at A&M Recording Studios



    Nice compilation w/ material from the '72 s/t (Geoff Emerick, engineer), '73 Fergulie Park (Bob Ludwig, mastering), and '75 Right Or Wrong titles.
    This LP is well mastered and sounds really really nice.

    Eric Clapton - The Best Of Eric Clapton
    (1970, Polydor) AT-GP in the deadwax, mastering by George Piros; Netherlands pressing



    a yard sale pickup from a couple of years ago. includes a Clapton/Whitlock song "Anyday", plus songs from Bramlett/Clapton, Hendrix, and JJ Cale.
    Think I'll compare this Layla with the US Atco pressing.

    Heresy

    OK..I'm a Beatles appreciator...had great fun with Abbey Road last week.

    Have the 2009 remastered "White Album" ...was previewing it , deciding on which tracks to put to the pod...started with disk #2

    Essentially there is very little of redeeming value on #2 ....#1 is a different story
    (tho there are some stinkers) , but I was shocked by how bad #2 is...

    Disc: 1 1. Back in the U.S.S.R. 2. Dear Prudence 3. Glass Onion 4. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da 5. Wild Honey Pie 6. Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill 7. While My Guitar Gently Weeps 8. Happiness Is a Warm Gun 9. Martha My Dear 10. I'm So Tired 11. Blackbird 12. Piggies 13. Rocky Raccoon 14. Don't Pass Me By 15. Why Don't We Do It in the Road? 16. I Will 17. Julia
    Disc: 2 1. Birthday 2. Yer Blues 3. Mother Nature's Son 4. Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey 5. Sexy Sadie 6. Helter Skelter 7. Long, Long, Long 8. Revolution 1 9. Honey Pie 10. Savoy Truffle 11. Cry Baby Cry 12. Revolution 9 13. Good Night

    Buddy Fite - Buddy Fite And Friend
    (1970, Bell) Monarch symbol in the deadwax



    another thrift store pickup this afternoon in excellent shape; yes it's the Bell label but sounds terrific, and Fite's jazz guitar playing is fluid and stunning.

    John Cale - Vintage Violence
    (1970, Columbia) 1971 orange label pressing



    I like the Rolling Stone reviewer quote that this album sounds "like a Byrds album produced by Phil Spector marinated for six years in burgundy, anise and chili peppers".
