Francoise Hardy - Midnight Blues [Paris & London 1968-1972] (2013) Music

Posted by Speedyclick at Jan. 12, 2014

Françoise Hardy, France's leading female singer-songwriter of the 60's and 70's,, recorded quite extensively in English, Italian, German and Spanish but relatively little of that material is obtainable these days. So this 2013 compilation is invaluable since it comprises 24 songs in english from her albums En Englais (issued in 1968), One-Nine-Seven-Zero (1969) and Françoise Hardy (1972) recorded in Paris and London. "Midnights Blues" mixes nicely Hardy's own compositions with tender and sensual interpretations of songs by Neil Young, Beverley Martyn, Leonard Cohen, Randy Newmanand and others. Beautiful voice, beautiful music, beautiful girl. Enjoy a delightful album and a lot of Francoise's photos.

Folk Rock, Jazz Rock | Label: Owsley Stanley Foundation

This is the most important Tim Buckley release since Dream Letter, featuring a singular performance with a jazz-rock lineup that calls to mind Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks. Buckley, father of Jeff Buckley, made his mark with his Southern California folk-rock sound and four-octave vocal range. But this rich weave of accessible, warm, improvisational music reveals Buckley in a light never before captured on tape, including two newly discovered songs (“Blues, Love” and “The Lonely Life”), early drafts of Buckley classics, and a stunning cover of Fred Neil’s “Merry-Go-Round.” Recorded by the Grateful Dead’s legendary soundman Owsley “Bear” Stanley, the infamous LSD chemist, this is one of the treasures of his Sonic Journal archive. Buckley’s performance is incredible and Bear’s thumbprint on the sonics is part of the magic!

VA - Let Freedom Sing - The Music of the Civil Rights Movement (2009) Music

Gospel, Political Folk, Soul, Black Gospel, Acoustic Blues, Funk, New Orleans R&B, Pop-Soul | 3:23:12 | Mp3, 320 kbps | 465 MB
Label :Time Life Entertainment | Year Of Release :2009

Much of the power of the civil rights movement came with its speeches, but the movement lived just as actively through music. Whether it was blues, folk, gospel, jazz, or R&B, and whether the artist was part of the cause or simply feeling the same yearnings, the music of the civil rights movement provided focus, unity, strength, and power. Time Life's three-disc box set, Let Freedom Sing! Music of the Civil Rights Movement, not only appeared at an auspicious moment in civil rights history – early 2009, when the United States inaugurated its first black president – but it easily ranks as the most thorough look at the music that came to be identified with civil rights.

Jethro Tull was a unique phenomenon in popular music history. Their mix of hard rock; folk melodies; blues licks; surreal, impossibly dense lyrics; and overall profundity defied easy analysis, but that didn't dissuade fans from giving them 11 gold and five platinum albums…

This is where fans of the group can sort of stop and settle down at last. MCA Records had previously let the Mamas & the Papas' music out on CD in a trickle; the debut LP was upgraded and a compilation of remastered hits showed later in the decade, but the rest was left to languish. This two-CD set makes up for that neglect, assembling all four of the quartet's '60s albums on two CDs and augmenting them with the mono single versions of "I Saw Her Again," "Words of Love," and "Creeque Alley," plus the non-LP single "Glad to Be Unhappy." One just wants to luxuriate in the sound of this reissue and its little details, like the rhythm guitar on "Do You Want to Dance" that cuts right through the air, the string basses on "Go Where You Want to Go" that sound like they're just across the room, and the rest of the first album.

We are Muffy - The Charcoal Pool (2018) Music

Posted by Fizzpop at July 19, 2018

From somewhere wild and strange in Cornwall come the idiosyncratic acoustic sounds of We Are Muffy, the happy alliance of Nick Duffy (The Lilac Time, Bait) and Angeline Morrison (The Mighty Sceptres, The Ambassadors of Sorrow). With influences including the Incredible String Band, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Sam Cooke, Max Romeo and Shirley & Dolly Collins weaving through their music, We Are Muffy spin poetic narratives of remembered and imagined pasts. Their distinctive strain of folk music combines vocal harmonies with unexpected instrumentation (lyre, music box, cutlery, bottle tops, broken china), in amongst the expected (autoharp, banjo, double bass).

Forest - The Full Circle (Harvest 1970) 24-bit/96kHz Vinyl Rip Vinyl & HR

Posted by son-of-albion at April 26, 2011

Full Circle has both brutal and beautiful elements, and the raw acoustic tunes create weird and enchanting music. There are many medieval influences here, but the overall aesthetic is not idealized or fantasy related. It is sincere and realistic, filled with mystery, misery and violence.

Grateful Dead - Golden Road (1965-1973) [2001, 12HDCD Box Set] Music

Posted by v3122 at Aug. 7, 2015

The primary impetus behind this ambitious 12-disc box set is to gather all nine of the Grateful Dead's Warner Brothers titles. However, the staggeringly high quotient of previously unissued bonus material rivals – and at times exceeds – the content of those original albums. The Golden Road (1965-1973) truly has something – and usually a lot of it – for every degree of Deadhead…
