Holy Cow! That Danny Gatton record is GREAT! Don't necessarily love a couple of the early vocal tracks. They're not bad, and sound great, but they're kind of like 50's/early 60's style. However! Everything else on the record is absolutely smokin'! 

If you want to stream something fun, give this one a shot....

Danny and the Fat Boys - "Harlem Nocturne" from the album - "American Music"

Szell conducts Debussy - La Mer & Ravel- Daphnis Et Chloé, Suite No. 2 / Pavane Pour Une Infante Défunte (Pavane For A Dead Princess). The Cleveland Orchestra. Odyssey 1973 

@boxer12   +1 Golden Palominos

@bslon   +1 Blind Faith  that was another surprise find among all the records that were hibernating in the shed.

@sailmed @puffball08 

My Blind Faith copy has the topless 11 year old girl with the spaceship on the cover, which is a little off-putting for my taste. The music easily remedies that. The U.S. release had the band posed on the cover.
Puffball, your shed score is awesome!

I have both of those Blind Faith albums.  Excellent music!  The young girl on the cover was a really big deal, back in the day.  I don't recall which graphic was released first.  I tend to believe the girl was first and then it was replaced by the picture of the band.

Returned from a multi-day ski trip.  I missed my vinyl but sure had a great time racking up a million vertical feet, at speed.

It's movie night tonight, with my wife.  I'll spin a few records after that.  Looking forward to it.  Good to see how many great albums have been spinning all of this week.  You guys rock! 

A million vertical feet :-) now that is living

@reubent and @tomic601: Gatton is a guitarist’s guitarist, a guy other masters of the instrument listen to. But he’s not just a virtuoso, a "’flash" player; he’s also very musical. I first heard him when he was working with Robert Gordon, playing Rockabilly.

When I recorded with Evan Johns (who had been in a coupla bands with Gatton in the D.C./Virginia area) in Atlanta (on his Moontan album), he told me Gatton was the best musician he ever made music with. The closest I’ve come to greatness. ;-)

@boxer12: That Winchester debut album is great, produced by Robbie Robertson. I've been listening to it since it was first released, and it has stood the test of time.

@bdp24  - I've heard of Danny Gatton for years, but don't know that I had ever heard him before. Luckily, I heard "Harlem Nocturne" by Danny and the Fat Boys while streaming Radio Paradise last week. Was literally flabbergasted by the tune and immediately purchased a copy of the album on Discogs. Really great stuff...

Also, curious what you think of Robbie Robertson - S/T. I know you are a big fan (understatement) of The Band. Curious if you like the collaboration with Daniel Lanois and all of the guest artists on the album. Me? I Love it, but I'm a big fan of the Daniel Lanois sound.

David Gray - "White Ladder - Rarities and b-sides" from the 20th anniversary box set. 

Listened to this again. I'm a big fan of the original album - White Ladder. The extra material is a nice bonus. Good to hear some David Gray that is not familiar to me. A few of the tracks are pretty darn good...

Picked up several albums at a couple of record stores today - first one up: The Paul Desmond Quartet "Live." Really enjoying the relaxing sound so far.

 

 

Lee Konitz plays with the Gerry Mulligan quartet (Blue Note Tone Poet series;

Oregon "In Performance."

 

@reubent 

I hope you also have Robbie Robertson – How To Become Clairvoyant. Every song is really good. Similar Lanois-ish  vibe and "and features performances from
Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Tom Morello, Robert Randolph & Trent Reznor"

Various – History Of British Blues Volume One (Sire 1973)

A hall of fame compilation of sorts

@sbank 

I hope you also have Robbie Robertson – How To Become Clairvoyant.

I do not have it, but it's now on my list...

Thanks!
