Interesting. I have tried valiantly to develop an appreciation of Jeff Beck, but was never enamored of any of his work outside of parts of Wired and his collaborations with guys like Jagger or Stewart.
That was Pink Anderson. He was from the Spartanburg, South Carolina area. His son, Little Pink Anderson, used to do shows around here.
Thanks. I must have had a short term memory lapse between reading it and writing it.
Agreed. That Scorsese movie "Shine A Light" was incredibly bad. I literally felt sorry for the poor bastards who had to slog through all the post-production.
A 15-17 year old boy looks at the Sticky Fingers cover and thinks "vulgar"? You were obviously prematurely mature. :lol:
Finding LF (and Greenslade) was one of the benefits of my keyboard-playing buddy and I being able to browse independent record shops near our homes that carried what were called "cut-outs" - deeply discounted non-mainstream or poor-selling records of bands no one had ever heard of. We would look through the collections of $3.00 and $4.00 albums, until we saw something with a quirky name or cover art, and if the bands' instrument list included things like a mellotron, synths, acoustic/classical guitars, woodwinds, or strings, in addition to the usual stuff, and instead of 5 3-minute songs per side, there were only a few longer ones, we might consider parting with "three fiddy" ($ 3.50, in this case!).
I know what you mean. I always read the credits list and then was researching what else the people did, when I liked someone. And that was pre-internet, so the reseach was actually hard, but yet it was part of the fun. Uriah Heep's "Magician's Birthday" I gave a listen because of Roger Dean's cover. Also "Aqualung" by Jethro Tull had an interesting cover. Rainbow's "Rising" was my favorite album then (I still rank it very high after I listened to it for the first time in 1980) and Cozy Powell was my connection to give "Rough and Ready" (now my all-time favorite album) by the Jeff Beck Group a listen. At first an older relative had some of the influential albums. Later the record shops were like a 2nd home. I listened to radio then too. And sometimes there were cool songs we recorded on cassette tapes then. That way I learned of bands like Colosseum II, Traffic, Roxy Music and others (that was even quite a bit before I started buying records since I even didn't have my own record player then, but hey, I was about 10 or 11 years old). When I bought my first Deep Purple album (Made in Europe) I knew I wanted to make music. I read a lot of music magazines then too. And after some time I also bought records of people I read a lot about, like Zappa or King Crimson. It was in about 1988 I started buying compact discs. But a lot of that magic that was there when purchasing a new album was gone from that moment on, and the music scene also had changed by then. And yes, when I was about 12 or 13 years old, the "cut-outs" were the way to go. For me, the "magic" album buying years were when I was 11-16 years old, that was around 1980-1984, I still had fun buying albums until I bought my first CD. There was some magic "refreshed" in the early internet days when I was hunting down all the bootlegs that were offered on Napster (and boy, were there long downloading times for mostly low audio quality stuff). In 2008 I ditched my vinyls. Nowadays I even don't buy much CD's, most recent buys were albums by Sting, Winery Dogs and Vintage Trouble...
PLEASE tell me one good song on that album.Exile is amazing.
Serial, I used to think you were cool.
Now I've lost all faith!
I never considered myself to be much of a Stones fan, but I really enjoy the Mick Taylor recordings. Other than that, I can honestly do without them. As for Exile, I couldn't name one song on the record, much less name one good one. So, I looked up the song list, and I STILL didn't know any of the songs (by name, anyway).
