What a fabulous compilation recording could be made from this music! For context, "in '65 I was 17; in '69 I was 21."
"Spoonful" - Great rendering of one of those old American Blues that was Cream's trademark. Bruce was underappreciated as a vocalist.
Chet Baker. West Coast Cool. Like many of his time and genre, left us too soon. "Everything Happens To Me."
"Today" - Marty Balin...another underappreciated vocalist. Surrealistic Pillow easily makes my best albums of all time list.
Patricia Barber. Vocalist/pianist. Very unique style. Have most of her albums, including Cafe Blue. "A Taste Of Honey" is one of her many standouts. "It's A Shame" is my fave.
"What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" - whoa, there's a good one. Jimmy Ruffin, brother of the yet another great vocalist - original lead singer of the Temptations, David Ruffin.
Then there's that nod to Dire Straits' "Industrial Disease." I'm a big Dire Straits fan. I put you at being born around say '61-'63 if you were in college at the time of the Love Over Gold LP release. I'm reminded that lately I've been listening to an all-time favorite of mine released in 1962 by maybe my all time favorite duo, the late great Everly Brothers. It is "Crying In The Rain."
Cheers
