It would be difficult to overstate how bad@ss this album is . . . They don’t call Neil Young the “Godfather of Grunge” for nothing!

This disc is a self-described “EP” but at almost 40 minutes it is arguably a full-on album. And what makes it essential IMO is the 17.5-minute version of “My Favorite Things.” Duane Allman was influenced by John Coltrane, and Derek Trucks is, as well. Nowhere is that influence more apparent than on “My Favorite Things” from “Already Live.” The playing is spectacular and the sound is mesmerizing.

This one again. . . helps me assess some system changes and also is just a wonderful listen.

Flora Purim “500 Miles High” Milestone OJC cd.

No Duane Allman on this D&tD set, which was recorded at NYC’s Fillmore East in October 1970, but it still SMOKES.

I marvel at the sound they squeezed out of these 1927-1928 era recordings!

Duke Ellington “Blues in Orbit” SACD Analogue Productions

An album that grows on me year by year.

Sticking with it…

Bob Dylan “Tell Tale Signs” (Bootleg Series Vol.8) Japanese version, disc 1

I love this set. It’s responsible for a resurging interest in Dylan in my household that has been maintained ever since.

[amsco15]

Disc 1. What a career!

RIP Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee. I read that he passed away today at 95 and thought immediately of this iconic album cover, which is based on the Marvel superhero, the Silver Surfer.
