Ben Paterson - I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good), from Blues For Oscar (2012).
1978, I know, I know… it’s Kenny fucking Rogers and that stupid Gambler song… but wait… listen, what if I told you that this album is full of funky bass licks, groovy psychedelic bridges, and jazz… yes, funkin’ jazz, ragtime, crazy stuff.
My dad recorded this album to 8-track, and I remember riding in the back of his Lincoln LTD with Tennessee Bottle sending me to space on our way to Disney World. Morgana Leave me alone… it’s so much more than just that stupid Gambler song.

For something different… I put this album on and cranked it up to 11 with speakers taking a sledgehammer to your rib cage, and screams that rip your cranial cavity out and scrapes your brain out and flings it against the wall. Mrs. Cosmic flees to the back room saying… “I need a pill!” “This makes me want to KILL!” Ha ha.
Grand Funk… the most underrated hard rock ever.
Rock and Roll, Baby!!!

“ You don’t know Grand Funk? The wild, shirtless lyrics of Mark Farner and the bong-rattling bass of Mel Schacher and the competent drum work of Don Brewer?
Grand Funk Railroad paved the way for Jefferson airplane, which cleared the way for Jefferson starship. The stage was now set for the Alan Parsons project, which I believe was some sort of hovercraft.
For more information on Grand Funk consult your school library.”

There is a misunderstanding. This is my Grand Funk album that I've had for decades. What did I say that Made you think that I am not familiar?
I posted E Pluribus Funk last week, and I also have the Black album and a Greatest Hits. My garage band in high school played Locomotion. While I don't have a favorite band or even genre of music... I am familiar with the albums I own. I am just posting when I spin one from time to time. Check out the pictures.
Oh, and if you haven't heard this, The Live Album, check it out. It's hard core.
Marianne Faithfull - It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
Seals and Croft's Greatest Hits this morning!
Preface: this is from my album collection.
My wife doesn’t care much for most Lou Reed either, nor Live music in general. But, I’m firing up the grill, and she is at physical therapy. So, I’m cranking up the 33rpn at 11, and jamming. Nice smooth easy guitar riffs and Lou’s melodic raps from ‘72.

Joe Carr - Otter Nonsense
Some incredibly playing and compositions on this album.

REALLY digging Dylan’s new box set!
Ann Robinson - You Did It (1969). Some good funky soul music to end the week.
Mostly only on the weekends, particularly Saturday mornings.

I like Grand Funk. A lot. I've seen them in concert. But they didn't pave the way for Airplane. Grand Funk Railroad formed in Michigan in '68. Jefferson Airplane came out '65 and became the true Jefferson Airplane I love in '66 with the addition of Grace Slick. They morphed into Jefferson Starship and Starship all by themselves. And they were pure California, all the way.
Have you been growin' something other than tobacco out behind your barn Cosmic?
Mine's on the way.
PS: glad you were right abut them finally putting out a TOOM bootleg series.
Nigel Olsson doesn't get mentioned often, but his drum work was such a huge contribution to Elton's classic '70s albums.
For there's weak winged young sparrows
That starve in the winter
Broken young children
On the wheels of the winners
And the sixty-eight summer festival wallflowers
Are thinning
Prima donna lord you really should have been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
I used to know this old scarecrow
He was my song
My joy and sorrow
Cast alone between the furrows
Of a field no longer sown by anyone
I held a dandelion
That said the time had come
To leave upon the wind
Not to return
When summer burned the earth again
For there's weak winged young sparrows
That starve in the winter
Broken young children
On the wheels of the winners
And the sixty-eight summer festival wallflowers
Are thinning
Prima donna lord you really should have been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
I used to know this old scarecrow
He was my song
My joy and sorrow
Cast alone between the furrows
Of a field no longer sown by anyone
I held a dandelion
That said the time had come
To leave upon the wind
Not to return
When summer burned the earth again
