Tune of the Day

"Blue Rondo a la Turk"  on the Two Generations of Brubeck album.  Wow.

There are many fine versions of this tune, but this one gets me dancing, clapping, fist-pounding, whatever, every time....and it's not easy to dance in, what, 9/8?  I love tunes that grow, build, develop, and move through changes.  This one just picks me up and takes me right along with it.  Great melding of jazz and rock idioms, too.  It's fun to imagine Dave Brubeck setting the groove and then sitting back to hear where his kids and their friends take it. 

You can continue exploring Dave and the kids on Two Generations of Brubeck, "The Great Spirit Made Us All".  And Chris Brubeck's rock/jazz band Sky King on "Secret Sauce".

For extra credit, give a "spin" to Chase, "Bochawa" from their last album, Pure Music.

Anyway, that's my two cents today.

Yes! Fantastic song @slaw, written by the great Jim Lauderdale. Very reminiscent of The Everly Brothers, don’t you think? Harmony singing by the wondeful Emmylou Harris.

Buddy Miller is not only a great guitarist, bandleader, and producer (he is imo the current MVP in music, much as Dave Edmunds was in the late-70's and 80's), but also a master interpreter of song. Take a listen to his take on Tom T. Hall's "That's How I Got To Memphis". As good as it gets!

Don Henley - "Sunset Grill"

Fantastic song. Thanks to @arcam88 for referencing it earlier today. Put on "Building the Perfect Beast" today for the first time in years.

Low "Nightingale"

@bdp24,

I was surprised you haven't chimed in on several of my posts over the last week or so. I was going to wait but, have you heard of Donna the Buffalo? She's from my neck of the woods. She has ties to several of our fine artists. I have her only two records (lps) in the mail as I write this. She is friends with Jim Lauderdale who is in at least one of her videos.
