I shared that one a couple years ago in one of the Kill This Thread games. Even though I think Knopfler's a jerk, I still believe that the above song is so good it transcends all misgivings on my part.

Yeah, I had not heard it before - it came up on one of those iTunes playlists that get generated from whatever you've been listening to, and I was totally blown away.
I love those random moments like that - its like finding money in a jacket pocket you haven't worn for a while.

Thanks.   Somehow, things like that pop out every blue moon or so...

Wow. Thanks for sharing that EDE. I played that at work today in my office.
RIP.

Weirdly, that wasn't what I meant to link. I was going for his biggest hit, but somehow linked a random album instead. Glad you enjoyed it, though. He's one of those artists with a really long career who has gone through a lot of different phases, from super-experimental stuff to straightforward pop. I saw someone compare him to an Italian Bowie earlier today. I'm not as familiar with his stuff as I'd like to be, but I've enjoyed most of what I've heard.

Just thinking about Garland Jeffries last night for some reason. For decades he's been pitching a tasty stew of "classic" rock, reggae, electric blues, "roots" rock, etc. I don't know why I haven't kept up with him better. One of those guys who can sing anything well. As recently as 2017, he was still recording. I think I'm going to pick that LP (*14 Steps To Harlem*) up today, despite the ever-shrinking amount of space I have on my computer. G.J. is the kind of artist I think of when I grumble about the narrowness and hidebound thinking that governs "Classic" rock radio, even back in the days when DJs had more control than they do now. (Title Track on YouTube)

BTW, I did follow through and pick up that Jeffries LP, and it's... yeah. [happy sigh] Now back to lost pop gems of the 1990s. (Babe The Blue Ox: "I'm Not Listening.") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rjb6Eh6N2-0

Ellen McIlwane is gone. I was enjoying some of her fabulous slide jams from late last year, over the weekend. And I didn't even know.  "I Don't Want To Play," (1973) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DEjdzd0RooA jaunty sourball of a country-blues breakup ditty worthy of any of the better-known greats. Good-bye and safe journeys, you beautiful thing. <3

Sam Phillips -- a singer-songwriter that Cleome and I both like. She's that good. Here's a favorite of mine from 1988's "The Indescribable Wow," her first major-label album: https://youtu.be/d6_34Uv_T-Y

I saw that a few days ago, GL. But I didn't have guts to share it here.

My kids love the Bee Gees and they gave it their stamp of approval, so I felt that I had permission.

Why not just listen to the original Bee Gees songs?

You can do that, too. In fact, You Tube's algorithim is rather insistent on it. Also: [video:youtube] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtJmJRgnF9w[/video] (Calvin Thomas: "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart", 2012)

The whole thing was a promotion for National Record Store day. Ironically, I have no real record stores within 30 miles of my house...

There is actually a great HBO documentary named "How can you mend a broken heart" that goes through the history of the band with Barry. Its a great watch if you like the band and get a chance to see it.

Thanks, I'll look for that. You are now officially forgiven for posting that Grohl crap.
