BlakRoc

 

The Black Keys + a host of Roc-A-Fella "associated" rappers. not sure what to make of it so far. Some of it is OK, some not OK at all (yes, Im looking at you Ludacris)

A Tribute to Jack Johnson - Miles Davis (recorded April, 1970)

 

Such a good album.

'Right Off' is amazing, especially John McLaughlin's guitar work.

When me and the wife split up back in 2000, she left all her vinyl albums to me. One of them was Gord's Gold [1975], a double album of all of his best tunes upto then. I've never been a biggest fan, but the bloke certainly has his moments. For me, a tad too melancholic to listen to for an entire album though.

You could always play Sundown to cheer yourself up. As the ex-partner is a Kiwi, it always reminds me of living in New Zealand.

I've been listening to Space Force, Series 1, currently playing on Radio 7. Not bad at all. All of the episodes are still available, right from the start [couple of days left], if you're keen.

GP and Grievous Angel, two brilliant albums from Gram Parsons - released in 1973 and 1974 - and now available together on one CD. Emmylou Harris is featured on both LPs.

I have this. Excellent. Always thought of him as the architypal troubled genius, but he certainly was very influential. I love anything by Emmylou Harris but especially "Pieces of the Sky" and "Wrecking Ball" and have most of her albums.

Well, I have spent the last week giving the new, eponymously titled, Slash album a good going over. It's actually very good. 14 tracks, featuring guest vocalists on each track including;

 

Fergie from BEP, who has a great rock voice

Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge, who will be performing vocals on the upcoming tour

M Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold

Andrew Stockdale from Wolfmother

Chris Cornell

Ian Astbury - one of my favourite vocalists

Kid Rock - who actually sings well (no rapping!)

 

plus some legends like;

 

Lemmy

Ozzy

Iggy Pop

 

And there's an instrumental which features Duff McKagan and Dave Grohl.

 

It's all very good and I especially like the way each track is arranged to suit the respective vocalist rather than sounding like vocals plonked on top of a particular mix. The Ozzy song sounds like an Ozzy song. The Lemmy song sounds like a Motorhead song. The Ian Astbury song could have come from a Cult album,etc.

 

It's almost like a rock compilation album, it's very good indeed and I'd recommend it to anyone.

On BBC4 now, I'm listening to various artists playing the songs of Nick Drake. It started at 9pm and ends at 10.30pm. Wish I'd heard it from the start, as it is really good. Drake's songs have such a haunted character to them.
