I bought this album with the intent of listening to Rogers make a fool of himself singing Sam Cooke tunes. I was wrong. Never been so wrong. He does a great job.

David Crosby ~ If I Could Only Remember My Name............1971

Big fan of that one, too, I am, Pumpkinman. I refer to it as my end of the sixties album

I agree with Mr. Goulding about the DC but I have 5 "the 60s are gone" albums that I tend to group together as 'special' recordings: After the Gold Rush, Stephen Stills' solo debut, If I Could Only Remember My Name, Songs for Beginners and Blows Against the Empire.

Btw, tonight I was listening to Crosby's latest ... Impressive, by far the best thing he's done in years.

What DC album would that be, KP?

Kenneth Patchen · « **Reply #2766 on:** 7 Apr 2014, 10:08 am »

Jim, I was agreeing with you about how great Crosby's IICORMN is ... such a wonderful sound to that album, terrific recording job. His latest is "Croz". Knopfler and Wynton Marsalis assist.

Those are 5 great albums. I recently listened to Blows Against the Empire. A very impressive line up of musicians on that album in addition to Kantner, Slick, Covington & Cassidy from JA -- Crosby and Nash; Garcia, Hart, & Kreutzmann from the Dead, Freiberg from Quicksilver, Harvey Brooks form Electric Flag and Jorma Kaukonen's brother Peter Kaukonen. "Gonna hijack, hijack the Starship."

"Croz" is a really good album. Without a doubt the best record in years. Jim, trust me, go get it. You will not be disappointed.

That's not showing off.

I guess I'm culturally deprived, or is it depraved?

The Left Banke.....debut album

Devil Doc · « **Reply #2776 on:** 9 Apr 2014, 08:52 pm »

I do love that song. Reminds me of listening to WPTR AM in Albany, NY and WKBW AM in Buffalo, cruising, late at night, back in the '60's before FM radio.

Walk Away Renee is a terrific song. The Four Tops did a great cover of it too.

Kenneth Patchen · « **Reply #2778 on:** 9 Apr 2014, 10:02 pm »

And let us not forget that comedian Michael Mckean was in the original Left Banke, years before joining Spinal Tap! (true story).

Tension between Brown and the rest of the band began to surface, as Brown recorded a single, "Ivy, Ivy" b/w "And Suddenly" as The Left Banke, using session musicians, including (future member of Spinal Tap) Michael McKean and Bert Sommer on lead vocals. The remaining members of the band hired attorneys to issue a cease and desist order and urged their fan club to boycott the record,[7] which led to confusion among radio stations over which "The Left Banke" to support. Radio and Smash Records ultimately removed their support from the single, which subsequently failed to make the Billboard Hot 100. "And Suddenly" was eventually recorded by a group called The Cherry People and became a minor hit.
