The Box Tops - The Letter

I'm listening to the sounds of a gorgeous Spring weather type of day. The best kind of music.

Buzzcocks - More product in a different compilation. Very limited release for record store day 2016. And enjoying it immensely with a bowl of Old Dark Fired.

madmurdoc - I almost posted that video last night. I had the pleasure of meeting Alex Chilton many years ago in Bloomington, Indiana. He was soft spoken, a little shy and very humble. I had no idea he wrote and sang that song at the time and we got to talking about soul. I remember telling him I hated white guys trying to imitate black performers, but held up "The Letter" as an example of clear influence without mimicry. I believed then as now, it is one of the best songs ever written. We both agreed Joe Cocker did a great version of that song and made it his own. Big Star has some very fine songwriting as well. He didn't look much older than in the video and this was mid nineties. RIP Alex Chilton.

It's the 40th anniversary of Leftoverture...hard to believe. One of my favorites from it.

This is better than I remembered, or maybe it's just the Rum/Per and Bur/Per wearing heavy on me:

I always say if you can't decide what to listen to - go with London Calling. You can't go wrong.

Saw Steely Dan in concert last year. One of the best live performances I have ever seen!

Ethel Waters and the new Steely Dan.

By new I assume you're referring to Everything Must Go. Great album, but it's 13 years old already...hard to believe.
