What Are You Listening To - May, 2024

Always fun to listen to the Carter Family doing "Will the Circle be Unbroken".

5/5

"I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
And I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

Can the circle be unbroken
Bye and bye, Lord, bye and bye
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky"

A little Jim Mo as I read through tedious permit paperwork for the next Florida project.

Sometimes when I think of my late paternal grandfather, this song comes to mind because he was a coal-miner.

The bass and the eerie ghost-like sounds were produced by Mr. Scott-Heron playing Mr. Malcolm Cecil's The Original New Timbral Orchestra (TONTO) synthesizer. This is the same instrument upon which Mr. Stevie Wonder played Superstition and other memorable tunes during a virtual creative marathon in Cecil's studio in 1971.

Little Charlie and the Nightcats in its original iteration (featuring Little Charlie Baty on guitar, and singer, song-writer, and harmonica-player Rick Estrin) was a delight. Here's a prime example:

My son recently prepared a CD for me featuring Gene Autry on it. I was astounded to find out that Gene was a hell of lot more that front man for some mediocre horse opera. He claimed Gene may have been the first country music superstar. He co-wrote many of his songs and performed them in his numerous movies. He had Back in the Saddle, Silver Haired Daddy of Mine, Tweedle-O-Twill, and South of the Border and many more including his Christmas records.

5/5

"I'm back in the saddle again
Out where a friend is a friend
Where the longhorn cattle feed
On the lowly gypsum weed
Back in the saddle again

Ridin' the range once more
Totin' my old .44
Where you sleep out every night
And the only law is right
Back in the saddle again"

The re-release of the 1964 original The Munsters album inspired by the TV show. The band does not feature the actors from the show Fred Gwynn, Yvonne De Carlo and Al Lewis. Instead the band was The Wrecking Crew (Glen Campbell and Leon Russell).

All of the songs have a monster theme Beach Boys sound to them.
I like it.

One of my all time favorites. My very first album when I was a kid. I recently purchased another one.
