If You Could Read My Mind

by

Gordon Lightfoot

 

 

Makes me cry :(

 

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.

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.
