Legends of Music

That was my first too. I'd go Everybody knows this is nowhere next then harvest and on the beach. Then really dive in with tonight's the night.

And then Time Fades Away.

If you have an hour, this is the best Neiler documentary out there.

I'd also recommend Live at Massey Hall.

Finally found a Wes Montgomery compilation worthy of his back catalogue. A cracking hour and 10 minutes!

So it was Jean De Breteuil who sold Jim Morrison the smack then.

The ending says it all

Nick Drake. Never before released Cello Song Live 1969 Peel Session. Haunting stuff.

I saw The Skatalites at the weekend - proper legends, whose personnel were the heart of Jamaica's ska/reggae revolution .... even tho, as The Skatalites, they only existed for around 18 months the first time around in the 60s.

Except .... The Skatalites no longer have any of the originals touring with them. The last original who was playing with them last summer, Lester Sterling, was not on stage with them.

So now they're a reformed legendary band without any of the originals who made them those legends. It's a bit strange.

They're not going to be the last Jamaican band who do this, I think.

- The Wailers only have Aston Familyman Barret left playing with them, tho he now has one of his very many kids in the band playing drums.

- Black Uhuru, who I saw last year, only had Duckie Simpson as an original with them, and he was only on stage for a few songs.

It's an odd situation that makes me sad. I can't work out if I'd prefer to see a no-originals version of a legendary band or not. It's great to hear those classic songs of course, but....

Funnily enough just dug out this box set this morning for the car. Best tenner I ever spent! Lots of fun.

that's pretty much a Skatalites disc. There's only a few actual Skatalites tunes on there, tho most of the rest is by Skatalite members.

Which is why they're such legends, despite there not being a huge amount of actual Skatalites stuff from their 18 months of existence.

I love this version of Planet Caravan

Shakey's got a new album coming out next month. Storytone. First I've heard about it but it looks like it's a solo rather than a Crazy Horse one.

Vinyl is £109 on amazon. Crazy price.

[The Nal]

The new album was made with a 92 piece orchestra. Its 48 quid here.

[When Jokers Attack]

There is a deluxe edition that includes solo versions of all songs.

Hope he tours over here next year, just him and his acoustic is my dream gig.

Just seen in book shop the sequel to waging heavy peace. Didn't know he'd written one.

Is it not mainly about cars? Haven't read the first one. Must pick it up.

Best I've read is Shakey by Jimmy McDonagh

[When Jokers Attack]

Probably give the new one a miss for the time being, him rambling on about cars was my least favourite part of Waging Heavy Peace.

Saw a great legend last night - Steve Cropper, sharing a bill in Cardiff with The Animals.

For a white guy Cropper wrote an astonishing number of black soul hits including Knock on Wood and Dock of The Bay.

A great night with lots of stories between the songs. Steve's 74 now but still working. Put the right band with him and he'd blow Glasto away.

Very interesting excerpt on the death of Elvis from a new bio. He was on Michael Jackson quantities of drugs. More even.

during the seven and a half months preceding Elvis’s death, from January 1, 1977, to August 16, 1977, Dr. Nichopoulos had written prescriptions for him for at least 8,805 pills, tablets, vials, and injectables. Going back to January 1975, the count was 19,012.
