Your favorite obscure song
What song in your music inventory do you consider a barely known hidden gem? Like a well kept secret know only to a few that you can listen to over and again.
For me it's 'Roads to Moscow' from Al Stewart's 'Past Present and Future' album.
The music, the lyrics, the story it tells is- to be just slightly hyperbolic- brilliant.
Check it out, especially if your a WW2 history buff.
Thank you for your attention on this matter.š
Boz Scaggs Look What Youāve Done To Me and Loan Me A Dime on the album Greatest Hits Live, Grey Cat Records, streaming on Qobuz. The first a ballad, the second a R&B masterpiece of improvisation. On the last few bars of Look listen to the falsetto exchange and atmospheric range of Barbara Wilson and Ms. Monet ā¦ on Loan listen to Scaggsā R&B stylings at his best, backed up by the improvisational runs by his band.

@larsman Yes, Duane Allman played guitar on the studio album (Boz Scaggs) version of Loan Me A Dime, and itās some of his best work. However, on the Greatest Hits Live album, Matt Bissonette played guitar. The live album version is a more free form R&B improvisation and Mattās playing excellent while lacking some of the intricacies and wonderful intonations of Duaneā work on the studio album. I love both versions, and the studio version is the best from the perspective of strict composition, but I gravitate to the free flowing emotion I feel from Bozās vocals and from the backup band on the live version. |
