Sipping a coffee and smoking some Key Largo in the bowl, I am enjoying Burzum's Filosofem.

Closing the night out with this little gem from Sir Elton......... ::

A gem indeed Beef! MATW is such a great album. It's an amazing string of classic albums that Elton & Bernie created in only about 5 years from '70 to '75, but MATW may be their best.

Esperanza Spalding / Emily's D+Evolution.

I've got a few of Sir Elton's works on vinyl from the 70's, and that is one of my favorite tunes.

Agreed. Just when I think MATW is my absolute favorite, then I listen to Goodbye YBR (album), and it becomes my favorite..... ALL good stuff in that period, the lyrics that Taupin was churning out is mind-blowing, not just in substance, but volume too................ good stuff, and good to see you posting!...........

That's for sure...in fact it's difficult for me to rate any album by anyone higher than GYBR. It's a fascinating panorama of music, lyrics and imagery...and it's just plain fun to listen to. And it begins with one of the greatest opening tracks ever:
Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding

I was doing music surfing on youtube and as one will, started thinking about musical history, influences, tastes and so forth, and realized that even if I don't 'get' the Bob Dylan who performs on video mumbling and barely strumming half the time...I was a big fan of his creativity long before I even knew who or what he is.

I encountered a cover by Peter, Paul, and Mary of "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" and thought, wow!

So, knowing that the song itself is pure gold, I thought...hmmn, who else has covered this beauty?

Turns out there's a really fun cover by Willie and Merle..intimate and in the studio...
