New release from old friend & former bandmate (we were in Angora together, released one album circa 2006) Howard Harrison, dba Saint Melodious. Catchy yet quirky pop-rock:

I'm thinking about some Linda Rhonstadt.
"Silver Threads and Golden Needles", came to mind on today's solo ride.
I thought again about how she cannot sing anymore, and the way her mind plays back songs is all messed up.
I'll likely cue up a video of her doing this tune live, if available.
She has my respect big time.

Had to add this stripped down version when she was younger.

I am waiting for the winter solstice, and I loving listening to her voice.

She’s one of my all time favorites and I wish I could’ve seen her before she had to stop performing.

I saw Emmylou Harris again last week; another of my faves.

Bassist Jon Camp of the band Renaissance passed away last Friday at the age of 75, so I've been listening to some of the recordings he made in the 1970s that had a huge impact/influence on wee teenaged me at the time.
Huge.

Matt,
I thought about this a bit today.
I can only think of one female lead singer I saw in concert.
Most of my concert going days were in my youth.
The male acts dominated the concert circuit that I could afford.
On top of that when I did attend a Laura Nyro concert, it was at Seattle's free Bumbershoot Celebration.
Lots of regrets for those I did not see.

There’s a bit in the (excellent) Linda Ronstadt documentary that talks about how rare it was for women to front rock bands and even rarer to leave them after they’ve gained a foothold (Stone Poneys).

I think that changed a bit by the time I was in my prime concert going days but definitely not to full parity. I’m on the nostalgia track in recent years- small venues and seeing people like Emmylou, Bonnie Raitt etc, but back in the day I was always psyched to see the likes of the Cranberries, Garbage, and many of the acts on the Lilith Festival tour.

After a bit more thought I remembered a couple of big female stars I saw back in my youth.
Ike and Tina Turner were at a 3-day music festival in 1969.
Janis Joplin was part of another multi-artist concert at Sick's Stadium in Seattle the same year I believe.
She only sang for the number of minutes it took her to knock off a bottle of Southern Comfort.
Tina and the Ikettes were a real show stealer.

FSS,
Thank you.
I liked the first song listen thru my small speakers at my desktop.
He reminds me a bit of Lowell George.
That is a very good thing.
I'm of an age where the good stuff flies over my head and ears.
Thanks for the new voice.
I'll give him more of a listen.

Thanks for this! The local coffee shop had MJ on last weekend and I wanted to hear more. Sounded a bit like Son Volt to my sleepy Sunday ears …

[72gmc]

Not a track but perhaps inspiration to listen to some tracks …

[Bob Ross]

I have an upcoming audition with a local Classic Rock Cover Band, so I'm listening to a handful of tunes that I'm told will be called:

- "American Girl" by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
- "Good Times Roll" by The Cars
- "867-5309" by Tommy Tutone
- "How Soon Is Now?" by The Smiths
- "She's A Runaway" by The Bodeans

Not my usual fare by any stretch of the imagination, but definitely fun songs to play on bass.

[72gmc]

Seems like a song list for a good band!

American Girl is such a good song.

[Bob Ross]

Yeah... unfortunately, the bandleader is starting to come across as an unprofessional, disorganized, hot mess. So I'm not getting my hopes up.
