Gerry Rafferty should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for this masterpiece alone.

There’s a site that’s mostly about tapping into those new jazz releases 😉 somethingelsereviews.com

Something Else!

Located at the intersection of prog, jazz and rock.

Replying to @NotRealMusic
Everyone needs to tap back into jazz. At some point we stopped treating new jazz releases as we do the classics and now we have masterful projects by Immanuel Wilkins, Ahmed, Tomeka Reid, Dave Douglas, etc going totally under the radar. Sad to see a lack of a listener base there

Happy birthday Leonard Cohen! For the @rockhall, I wrote about great Cohen covers by his fellow Rock Hall inductees. Willie, Bob, Iggy, Aretha, Joan, R.E.M., and more rockandrollhalloffame.substa…

Just now spinning Isn’t She Lovely?, and the thought came to me, unbidden, “hmmm I wonder how Stevie’s other kids, who didn’t get hit songs, feel about that…”

When I ran my interview with John Hillcoat, who directed Dylan's scrapped Nobel Prize performance video, Conor Lumsden commented “Being Bob’s stand in was the best job I ever had!” I had to hear more. Today, Conor's surreal story of playing the role of Bob Dylan around Bob Dylan

I wrote a little something about Bowie in the 1970's for my Substack people. By no means definitive, just my thoughts most of a lifetime later. open.substack.com/pub/lloydc…

Today marks 43 years since the passing of blues pioneer Muddy Waters. His signature sound was instrumental in shaping rock music and heavily influenced The Band. Below, Martin Scorsese shares a remarkable anecdote about how Muddy's powerful rendition of "Mannish Boy" during The Last Waltz was nearly entirely unrecorded.

On this day in 1970, TIME featured The Band on its cover. The article highlighted their unique impact on rock, noting that their music moved "away from sophistication to earthy, honest qualities in life". Which of The Band's songs do you think best captures that spirit?

Composed in the style of scripture, the Band’s reliably ambitious “Christmas Must Be Tonight” was inspired by the arrival of Robbie Robertson’s new son Sebastian. Unfortunately, this would never become a holiday favorite, even after Robertson re-released the song. It’s just not corny, boozy or jokey enough, I suppose. Instead, the Band offered a gift-wrapped distillation of what made them such an enduring presence: substack.com/home/post/p-152…
