Just barely enough room for all our labels today! Those Rachmaninoffs and Schermerhorns do take up a lot of space. Luckily I don't know the names of Delaney & Bonnie's other "friends" that appear on what's offered here, which is not the famous live album they made with Eric Clapton - that album was recorded on tour in England in 1969 - but rather a boot recorded in San Francisco the following year. No idea about the audio quality either, so freeloader beware...
Damn... Chris Bell. Talented guy... too bad, he really deserved to make it.
Well, I'd really love to tell you more about Amy Beach, and Hoagy Carmichael, and Shura Cherkassky, and Lars-Erik Larsson, and Vestal Goodman, but I'm just too busy with other things at the moment. Check out those links above, and keep reading...

For a while I thought clapton was overrated. He seemed to play the same old cliches that 90% of rock noodlers played. Some time later I understood; he made those cliches cliche.
ReplyDeleteFunny, I've heard similar things said about Big Star. When first listening to them today, it can be hard to appreciate how unique they were at the time, since everybody's already heard so many of the bands that were influenced by them.
