What Are You Listening To? October 2022.

October 9th: Happy birthday John and Jackson

When I say that I'm okay, well they look at me kinda strange
"Surely you're not happy now, you no longer play the game"

So like a fragile little child
More than a little lost and wild
How the light would leave the sky when you cried
And return again when you smiled
And how the light would invade and divide
The darkness I have inside

Eva Cassidy: This marvelous blues woman died much too soon at the age of 33 in 1996. Allow me to introduce you to her:

I've been on a Nick Cave kick lately.

Abattoir blues is a fantastic album

Thanks, huntertrw!
Eva Cassidy is one of my favorite singers.
This performance of "Early Morning Rain" from the album, Imagine, is magnificent.

And this live performance of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" less than a year before her passing, will touch your heart.

Now playing Foghat - Fool For The City​

I was not sure if this would technically fit in the hardcore bluegrass post, but this here is one of my favorite bands in that genre:

Falco - Rock Me Amadeus

Allen Toussaint...what a monumental talent. Here's some more by him:

 

[huntertrw]

Just one more. I defy you to listen to this and not feel good!

 

[Spa32]

Now playing Ellesmere -- From Sea and Beyond.

 

[timelord]

 

[Servant King]

The greatest ever piece of music ever to exist ever:

I first heard Lincoln Mayorga on a Sheffield Labs direct-to-disc record; he was impressive then, and he's still impressive today:

Glad to see this posted! I first heard him at a very young age, doing some great piano parts on the Phil Ochs album Pleasures Of The Harbor (1967). I especially liked his work on the track I've Had Her.

Edit: Interestingly, I only just now saw that @smudgersmissingleg was listening to Rock Me Amadeus just a few scant hours ago. Synchronicity...it's a hell of a thing!

RIP Falco.

Taking Hair Band to a new visual level, but they play well.
