Favorite Whole Album

Truth! I have to play this. Thanks for listing. What a line up. Nicky Hopkins the great!

Back in 1969, I went to NYC to see what was happening. I was 20 yrs old and I had a friend who had a one room efficiency on the West side of Central Park. I went with him on a walk one Saturday into the park and we encountered a band setting its equipment up at the bottom of a natural amphitheater there. Curious, and fortified with some Southern Comfort and a couple of doobies, we took a seat on the grass to see what would happen.
At first I thought; " who are these fruity looking prancers on stage?" Then the music began and I was transported to rock 'n roll heaven as all the members of Jeff Beck's troupe launched into the songs on Truth.
They were all there. Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart, Nicky Hopkins, Ron Wood and more.
In the years since, I think maybe my favorite of the album is, Old Man River. The rendition is amazing and the interplay between Stewart and Beck is magical.

Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians - Shooting Rubber Bands At The Stars

I used to work at the bowling alley Edie's father Eddie bowled in and remember her as a teenager, and having a crush on her. Why she chose Pual Simon when she could've had me just baffles me.

Fantastic memories? Thanks for sharing! Sounds wonderful!

Hiatt is a national treasure. My two favorite of his are Perfectly Good Guitar and Walk On. He was at the height of his powers during the period he made those two imo.

PGG has not left the CD changer since June 8
