Kimono My House. There’s your Sparks album to start with.

Oh, and here’s hoping that you don’t need your leads into be a baritone or bass.

On no, I love me a good falsetto. Jeff Buckley’s version of “Corpus Christi Carol” is unbelievable.

Not a Jeff Buckley falsetto. More like a bouncy, thin tenor. Truly fits what they do tho.

With it being the Christmas season.

I was listening to Guitar Slim and his "Things That I Used To Do" and enjoying that.  It has been covered by too numerous to count blues guitarists...Black Music Sunday: Remembering Guitar Slim and the things he used to do (dailykos.com)

And listed was Stevie Ray Vaughan...and this came up again.  An out of your chair performance!!

(9) SRV - The Things That I Used To Do (Lorelei, Germany '84) - YouTube

I cannot believe that the video cut away from SRV's smoking, unreal, mind bending, screaming Stratocaster solo.

After the Auburn beat down...I've got the blues, but I feel good.

Those things he used to do...OMG!  And still is...

The things that I used to do, Lord, I won't do no more
The things that I used to do, Lord, I won't do no more
I used to sit and hold your hand darlin', cry, baby do not go

I used to search all night for you darlin'
Lord, and my search would always end in vain
I used to search all night for you darlin'
Lord, and my search would always end in vain

But I knew all the time darlin', that you was hid out wit' your other man

I'm goin' to send you back to your mama darlin'
Lord, and I'm goin' back to my family too
I'm goin' to send you back to your mama darlin'
Lord, and I'm goin' back to my family too
Nothin' I can do to please ya' darlin', ah I just can't get along with you

Listening right now and this is a crazy fun record. Thoroughly enjoying it.

Kimono is probably their best regarded, but Propoganda is my favorite Sparks album.

It’s a big ol ear worm of fun!

Merry Christmas everybody. Fun fact she was only thirteen when she recorded this song it has held up.

When Stu goes on about not settling for our favorites, this is why. Had never heard of this woman until yesterday. This is the title track from her debut album from last year. It is so good and she is a stone bada$$. Such breadth of talent. Incredible songs. That voice.

Poll Question: Is this ballsy and awesome or does it completely suck? Not really sure you can land anywhere in between. Gotta confess, like it a lot. It’s shockingly faithful given how completely wrong the whole idea is. Apparently they also do a version of “Thunderstruck.” Yeah, I just can’t.

Agree - no in between.

This completely sucks. Good lord no ... I will now try to erase that from my brain.

Here's something that completely does not suck to balance out the sadness:

Been a minute since I’ve recommended an album. This one gets a 100% “you’ll be glad you heard it” guarantee. 

Jennifer Trynin was an indie songwriter bouncing around Boston in the 90’s. Met and married legendary producer Mike Deneen (Fountains of Wayne, Aimee Mann, Morphine, Buffalo Tom, James Taylor) when she was in her early 30’s and put out two truly excellent albums before giving it up to raise a family. Here’s the second of them—hyper tuneful, interesting, understated, adult but not for old people.

If you can get past the first four songs without putting this in your rotation? I just don’t know.

Enjoy:

Looking for some good recommendations for background music in my office.  Looking more for classic style/trio jazz.

TIA!

Not a trio, and not classic style:  Bobbi Humphrey's Fancy Dancer is a seamless collection of seven tracks that cruise the distance across soulful fusions of funk, Latin grooves, electric jazz, and gauzy vocal choruses... quoted from All Music.  Love her flute.  

Try Bill Evans Trio:     'I Fall in Love Too Easily'.

Duke Jordan:     'Two Lovers'.

Art Blakely:    Just pick something...anything...with or without the Jazz Messengers.

Kurt Rosenwinkel:   'You've Changed'.

Cedar Walton:  'Blues for Myself'.

Wynton Kelly Trio:  'The Fall of Love'.

Bill Taylor: 'Solace'.

Lestor Young, Oscar Peterson Trio:  'Stardust'.

Charlie Parker Quartet:  Anything at all...

Thanks Dave!  I'll check it out.

Anybody ever heard of this kid? Until about 10 mins ago I hadn’t. Apparently she’s incredibly young and British. That’s what I know. As bada$$ rock chick vocal performances go, this right here is the genuine article. Pretty good hard rock song too.

Yeah she was on AGT or American Idol something like that.

The Netflix documentary on how they pulled this off is incredible.
