I'm Only Lonely - Joanne Shaw Taylor from Reckless Heart.
Gosh. Just a killer track.

Tune of the Day
"Blue Rondo a la Turk" on the Two Generations of Brubeck album. Wow.
There are many fine versions of this tune, but this one gets me dancing, clapping, fist-pounding, whatever, every time....and it's not easy to dance in, what, 9/8? I love tunes that grow, build, develop, and move through changes. This one just picks me up and takes me right along with it. Great melding of jazz and rock idioms, too. It's fun to imagine Dave Brubeck setting the groove and then sitting back to hear where his kids and their friends take it.
You can continue exploring Dave and the kids on Two Generations of Brubeck, "The Great Spirit Made Us All". And Chris Brubeck's rock/jazz band Sky King on "Secret Sauce".
For extra credit, give a "spin" to Chase, "Bochawa" from their last album, Pure Music.
Anyway, that's my two cents today.

Dylan: "Idiot Wind". Contains the lines "Blowin' every time you move your teeth", "It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe", "From the Grand Coulee Damn to the Capitol", and finally "It's a wonder we can still feed ourselves". One of my very favorites of his, on the excellent Blood On The Tracks album. |
