What Music Are You Listening To - May, 2023

[AppalachianPipe92]

It is a dance we do in silence
Far below this morning sun
You in your life, me in mine
We have begun
Here we stand and without speaking
Draw the water from the well
And stare beyond the plains
To where the mountains lie so still

But it's a long way that I have come
Across the sand to find this peace among your people in the sun
Where the families work the land as they have always done
Oh it's so far the other way my country's gone

Across my home has grown the shadow
Of a cruel and senseless hand
Though in some strong hearts
The love and truth remain
And it has taken me this distance
And a woman's smile to learn
That my heart remains among them
And to them I must return

But it's a long way that I have come
Across the sand to find you here among these people in the sun
Where your children will be born
You'll watch them as they run
Oh it's so far the other way my life has gone

If you look for me, Maria
You will find me in the shade
Wide awake or in a dream
It's hard to tell
If you come to me, Maria
I will show you what I've made
It's a picture for our lady of the well

Such a great album.

Currently listening to Queensrÿche ~ Operation: Mindcrime.

Such a great album.

Definitely one of the greatest American songwriters imo. Those first 5 albums are all outstanding, and the songs have really held up well over all these decades.

It's hard to believe he wrote These Days when he was 16.

 

[UB 40]

Listening to Violent Femmes.

Man, I could not agree more. I'm always surprised to see him discussed anywhere, though its more surprising he's not. He truly is one of the greatest songwriters. I group him right there with guys like Randy Newman, Ryan Cooder, etc.
"For Everyman" is probably my favorite album of his, though those first 5 are all top notch.

 

[AppalachianPipe92]

A beautiful album featuring Kate on lead vocals and Tony Rice on backup vocals. Powerful harmonies and songwriting throughout the album.

Listening to "The March of Brian Boru" by Blood Axis.

[philobeddoe]

You’ve inspired me, currently listening to Red Rider ~ As Far as Siam.

 

[AppalachianPipe92]

One of my favorite trios. Some great momentum on this album. Jim Hall couldn't have been a better fit

Occasionally my youthful music desires creep up on me. So, tonight it was Jerry Jeff Walker.

 

[yohanan]

Long ago but not forgotten.

Definitely one of the greatest American songwriters imo. Those first 5 albums are all outstanding, and the songs have really held up well over all these decades.

It's hard to believe he wrote These Days when he was 16.

Saw the guy in concert in the 70's along with an eclectic variety of other acts including ZZ Topp, Emie Lou Harris, Tina Turner, Andre Segovia, Johnny Winter, and even Steve Martin, who I've never thought was all that funny.
