morrissey is such a great songwriter - one line from this album that will never leave me:

"Because if it's not Love, Then it's the Bomb, That will bring us together..."

Agreed. I am a big Smiths fan. Morrissey's songwriting and voice coupled with Johnny Marr's guitar made some great music.

Somehow the "James Gang Rides Again" album has remained on my all-time favorite list since its release. I just have a soft spot for that album... shakers, maracas and all. The opening lick to "Funk 49" as well as the songs resounding hook is so classic 70s/Walsh. Seems like this album is kind of the rock version of the country genre "Highway Men," i.e. Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, Hank Jr., you know "bad" boys with soft hearts... "beautiful loser" archetypes.

I've also really enjoyed following Jackson Browne's entire career and consider him one of the best rock, singer-songwriter lyricists of the era.

Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson "Secrets" 1978 Arista Records LP

One of their best imo.

Jackson Browne "Lives In The Balance" 1986 Asylum LP

Really great songs & lyrics, although the musical arrangements and production values are a bit too "80s" for my taste.

Popped into a recently found 2nd Hand Book and Record store this morning and came away with these;

Both sound great after a Steam Clean

Al Di Meola "Elegant Gypsy" 1977 CBS Records LP

Listening to this again for the first time in more years than I can count... although it's a piece of astonishing jazz-fusion prowess, particularly between Al Di Meola and Jan Hammer, I just can't quite get into it... it don't touch me soul, so to speak.

That James Gang Album has always been my favorite. I have several of Joe's solo albums, all good and I believe he was the perfect addition to the Eagles. The back n forth riffs with Don Felder on Hell Freezes Over are classic stuff.

This has always been my favorite JB album. David Lindley's guitar is supurb. And I agree with you as to Jackson's songwriting ability. Fountain of Sorrow is such a powerful song. I think his last ablum is one of his best.

Enjoy your weekend, it's a windy, slushy winter day in Spokane.

Hi Laura,
Just added it to my DISCOGS list and noticed that there's only 2 original 1985 vinyl releases on the database and they're both UK?
And then a singular CD release (USA) in 1989?
Am presuming here that the database is not fully populated, but looks like best hunting for vinyl versions is likely to be in my neck of the woods.
Will definately keep my eyes peeled for you.
Cheers
Dave

Not seen this one before - bet it's a cracker

Just done a bit of a sweep of the potential vinyl e'sources over here
No success

But can't wait - Just ordered the CD as a stop gap

Very much looking forward to hearing this - thanks for posting

That album is definitely a good one although I've only heard it digitally. Dave- Pretty sure there is a high Rez version available on HD Tracks.

DaveyW · « **Reply #4597 on:** 25 Feb 2012, 10:18 pm »

Thanks Kinger - Appetite wetted even further

No Hi-Rez facilities here other than Vinyl

Std. CD only - likely to get plenty of air time in the motor on the daily commute
