RE: What Are You Listening To? - Jerome - 19-07-2020

I am normally not in favour of covers of classic songs - here's an exception to the rule.

RE: What Are You Listening To? - Jerome - 24-07-2020

Art Garfunkel - Everything Waits To Be Noticed. An album that should be in every CD collection. One of my favourite tracks from the album

RE: What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 26-07-2020

PAUL McCARTNEY & WINGS  "band on the run" vinyl/cd/ deluxe cd  1974

one from the road trip.
their third, Macca's fifth post Beatle album.
its sometimes easy to forget just how good an album is until you revisit it, yes i know its a classic but had forgotten just how great it truly was.
has everything on it that defines McCartney as an artist.
i still believe that for me he has released several better albums but thats my opinion.
anyway, a great 'driving record'.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

lets post something other than the stock standard selections for a change:





RE: What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 27-07-2020

[Image: 220px-DS_Brothers_in_Arms.jpg]

DIRE STRAITS  "brothers in arms" vinyl,cd 1985

road trip disc.
yup, this one suits playing on an open road especially the uptempo first half.
completes a trilogy of perfect albums for the band (making movies, love over gold, bothers in arms).
again, love just about everything on here,
their most radio friendly album, most commercially successful also selling some 30 million copies.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

picking one of the non singles to post this time round:





RE: What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 28-07-2020

[Image: 220px-Bat_out_of_Hell_II.jpg]

Meat Loaf  "bat out of hell II: back into hell"  cd, 1993

road trip album:
six of twelve for Meat.
i own all twelve, a big fan.
a return to the association with Jim Steinman.
pretty much love most of this.
liking the rest that i dont love
album sold an impressive 15 million copies.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM:

lead off single, album version is 12 minutes, the single version 7.





RE: What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 28-07-2020

DAVID BOWIE "best of bowie" cd, 2002

road trip selection.
2cd, 39 track compilation all in chronological order.
yeah Bowie is great driving music.
easy to forget just how eclectic he was, continually changing his sound yet still sounding like David Bowie throughout.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

hard to just pick one solitary track but here goes:





RE: What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 29-07-2020

[Image: 51K0MPVzroL._AC_UY218_.jpg]

CCR  "best of" cd. 2009

road trip listen
the best driving music ever IMO.
cant go past CCR on any level,.
over a period of five years they made seven albums and released almost thirty singles, all classics.
as consistently brilliant as Lennon/McCartney but not as eclectic, but what they lack in being revolutionary
they sure made up for it with straightforward foot stomping rock and roll.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM.

lets post one that normally gets overlooked.





RE: What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 29-07-2020

[Image: Cold_Chisel_-_Chisel.jpg]

COLD CHISEL  "chisel: the best of cold chisel"  cd,  1991

last of the road trip albums.
Aussie blues rock/rock/pub rock band.
like CCR, a perfect driving album/band IMO.
18 track compilation.
these dudes were bigger than AC/DC in Australia back in the day as both a recording band and a live act.
shame they never really got noticed anywhere but here and Scotland.
love the band and...
I LOVE THE ALBUM

live version of their tribute to the Nam vets:






I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh
And the soul was sold with my cigarettes to the black market man
I've had the Vietnam cold turkey
From the ocean to the Silver City
And it's only other vets could understand.


About the long forgotten dockside guarantees
How there were no V-day heroes in nineteen seventhy-three
How we sailed into Sydney Harbor
Saw an old friend but couldn't kiss her
She was lined, and I was home to the lucky land.

And she was like so many more from that time on
Their lives were all so empty, till they found their chosen one
And their legs were often open
But their minds were always closed
And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains
And the legal pads were yellow, hours long, pay packet lean
And the telex writers clattered where the gunships once had been
Car parks made me jumpy
And I never stopped the dreams
Or the growing need for speed and Novocaine.

So I worked across the country end to end
Tried to find a place to settle down, where my mixed up life could mend
Held a job on an oil-rig
Flying choppers when I could
Oh but the nightlife nearly drove me round the bend.

And I've traveled round the world from year to year
And each one found me aimless, one more year the more for wear
And I've been back to South East Asia
But the answer sure ain't there
But I'm drifting north, to check things out again, yeah I am.

Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
And only seven flying hours, and I'll be landing in Hong Kong
There ain't nothing like the kisses
From a jaded Chinese princess
I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long.

Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
And it's really got me worried
I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry
And the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone

BOB DYLAN  "hard rain" cd, 1976.

was actually under the impression this was a studio album, its not, its live...
and as we all know Dylan is abysmal live during a good show.
that said, this isnt too bad for a selection of live Dylan tracks.
all up though...
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

my favorite from the album





another set of masterpiece lyrics from Mr.D

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm.


And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm.

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm.

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm.

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm.

Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted, I got my signals crossed
Just to think that it all began on an uneventful morn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm.

Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm.

I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm.

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation and she gave me a lethal dose
I offered up my innocence I got repaid with scorn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm.

Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm

PAVLOV'S DOG  "pampered menial" cd, 1975.

their debut.
only own this and the follow up "at the sound of the bell".
for some reason i really like the second album but dislike this one,
starts off fine but goes downhill fast IMO
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

lead off single and favorite track:
