This week I've been listening to Larry Williams' best of CD. He was a late 50s rock and roll writer/singer who the Beatles covered with Dizzy Miss Lizzie and Bad Boy. When I first got it, I listened to only the songs I was familiar with, but I've been listening again for the hidden treasures. Also received my DVD off eBay of Derailroaded (the documentary about late 60s street singer, Zappa discovery Wild Man Fischer). So I've been listening to him, too.
Due to 16-year-old son Jack's retro prog/fusion rock phase, when we've been together in the car this week, he puts on Utopia's RA cd from '76.
Finally, been listening to Nashville guitarist and closet pop rock recording artist, Pat Buchanan. No, no, not the politician pundit guy, Faith Hill, Swan Dive and Rodney Crowell's guitar man. Go to: http://patbmusic.tripod.com for more info. Last time I saw him live, he got more different styles and sounds out of one acoustic guitar than I thought possible, as well as being the only slide player that can move effortlessly from George Harrison style to Tampa Red bottleneck blues style in a blink. His solo stuff is splendid vocal power pop ala British Invasion.
Oh well, that's all for now, glad to contribute. See yas next week.
