Some quietly influential musicians end up being like that thanks to the company they keep and which gives them the legitimacy that results in many people checking you. For instance, J.D. Souther might be one of those with a lot of famous friends, including The Eagles, who actually made a comeback by covering one of his songs and some of them also worked with him on his own LPs. Why shouldn't they, he's a solid songwriter and I'm sure the scene that surrounded him give him many benefits, including a variety of chances to hone his tunes. However, I get your questions – where's his quiet influence? Well, I would say he was not the main characters of his environment, he was a supporting one, yet the places would be less without them.

Hamarosan megjelenik Eric Buell második stúdióalbuma
Tumblr media
Erik Buell a motorozás legendás alakja, aki a Buell Motorcycles alapítójaként vált híressé, amelyet 1993-ban a Harley-Davidson felvásárolt. Később létrehozott egy mellékvállalatot, az EBR-t, amely amerikai szupermotorkerékpárokat gyártott. Újabban a Fuell elektromos kerékpárokkal és motorkerékpárokkal foglalkozó céggel foglalkozik. Erik Buell másik szenvedélye a zene. 2010-ben adta ki a kemény rockos Anthem albumot. Az énekes-dalszerző most június 7-én adja ki második stúdióalbumát, a Dust Settles-t. A lemezen keveredik az amerikai és a heartland rock hatása, miközben az őszinteségben rejlő erő megtalálása, a sebezhetőség ereje, valamint az évtizedek óta tartó különélés utáni újbóli kapcsolatfelvétel és házasságkötés élményeiről énekel főiskolai szerelmével. "Összességében csodálatos és áldott életem volt" - mondja Buell. - "Voltak sötét és szomorú, valamint fényes és boldog idők. Számomra ez az album az első alkalom, hogy olyan dalokat tudtam felvenni, amelyek megragadják ezeket a mély érzéseket. Minden, amit mostanában írok, ebből a fedetlen kútfőből fakad". A Dust Settles-t a kaliforniai Venturában, a Ralph's Garage-ban vették fel, és Ralph Carter (Eddie Money, Dancing With The Stars) volt a producere, aki basszusgitáron, gitáron, billentyűkön és ütőhangszereken is közreműködött. Az albumon 12 eredeti, Buell által írt dal található, amelyet egy csapat session-játékos és zenész barátja támogat, akiket ő "Friends Out West"-nek nevezett el. https://csajokamotoron.hu/elkotelezodve-a-szabadsag-irant-2023-buell-hammerhead-1190-freedom-edition A zenészek közé tartoznak többek között: Carter; Gary Mallaber (Steve Miller, Eddie Money, Bruce Springsteen) dobok és ütőhangszerek; Phil Parlapiano (John Prine, The Shape of Water) billentyűk; Jesse Kennemer gitár; Doug Pettibone (Lucinda Williams, John Mayer) pedal steel; és Annie Bzdawka harmónia ének. Az albumot a "You're Not Alone In this World" indítja, egy roots-rocker a feleségével való újbóli kapcsolatról 25 év különélés után, majd a hangulatos "Fading Perfume" következik. További csúcspontok közé tartozik a lendületes "Mr. Pious", amely a vallási képmutatást kommentálja, és a prog-rockos hangvételű címadó dal.A "Crank Up That Jukebox" a western swing keverékével teli, amely visszavezeti a hallgatót Buell San Antonio-i honkytonksban töltött napjaiba. A "Together" egy vidám, popos hangvételű dal arról, hogy a szerelem hogyan változtathatja meg az ember szemléletét és életét a legjobb irányba. Az albumot a szentimentális, karibi hangzású "In My Arms Again" zárja, amelyben Buell elismerését fejezi ki élete szerelmének, és háláját fejezi ki, amiért hosszú évek különélése után újra megtalálta őt."Remélem, hogy ezek a dalok másokkal is kapcsolatba kerülnek" - kommentálja Buell. "Alapjában véve mindannyian nagyon hasonlítunk egymásra. Tele vagyunk olyan érzelmekkel, amelyeket magunkban tartunk, miközben azon tűnődünk, vajon mások is éreznek-e ugyanígy. Ismerjük fel ezt. Legyetek kedvesek egymáshoz. A legjobb utak állnak előttetek." Forrás Read the full article

My taste in music in 20 albums
On Instagram I was challenged by @piahinckle to choose 20 albums that greatly influenced my taste in music. One album per day, for 20 consecutive days. No explanations (mostly), no reviews, just cover images on my Instagram @rialdrummer.
Proceeding from the first posting on December 11.
Max Roach and the M’Boom ensemble “Re: Percussion” the album is sometimes called. I heard this in the early ‘80s at a time I was getting interested in the history of jazz and particularly jazz drummers. Had the good fortune to see Max’s quartet (Cecil Bridgewater, Odean Pope, Tyrone Brown) at the old Yoshi’s, around the time of the “Scott Free” album.  This M’Boom record planted a seed for my later musical explorations in the ‘90s and started an appreciation for me of Max Roach as bandleader and conceptualist. I’d already heard some of his work with Charlie Parker. A decade later my band was covering “Morning / Midday” and “Jamaican Sun” by this group and I was email pals with Omar Clay’s partner.
The Mamas and the Papas “A Gathering Of Flowers”.  On the turntable constantly during my late high school years. Released between the ’68 breakup and the ’71 reunion. Interviews on the record with Cass and John hint at the glories and disappointments felt in the group.
Van Morrison “Tupelo Honey”. Great songs, ace band. The title track is really a classic (Cassandra Wilson’s cover is further evidence). Gary Mallaber (vibes) and Ronnie Montrose (guitar) stand out to me.
Family “Fearless”. United Artists was a label that took chances on musical artistry and signing Family was a commercial risk.  I found this album in 1973 in a cutout bin and it had only been out for 18 months.  The album is in turns gritty and pretty. All songwriting, playing and singing contributions are excellent, with John Wetton playing a key role on guitar, bass and vocals.
Rory Gallagher “Irish Tour ‘74”. Songs burned into memory from my days as a record store clerk and DJ. Most of my friends in the day were Rory fans going back to his band Taste and a few of us saw him at UC Santa Barbara around 1974.  If I had to pick one Rory record…  Watch him on YouTube.
“The Drums”. Prez Records in Santa Rosa was a destination store for me in the ‘80s and I found this used 3-album set for cheap there.  Introduced me to Art Blakey (“Ala Mode” remains a favorite song of mine), Connie Kay playing with Milt Jackson, Dannie Richmond, Paul Motian and many more great tracks.
Iain Matthews “Valley Hi”. Michael Nesmith cut a lot of great sides within and after The Monkees. To my ears almost nothing by him surpasses the achievement of helming this album.  I’ve followed Matthews’s career going back to his brief time in Fairport Convention up to the last decade and I know he’s not crazy about this record but to me it’s absolutely a gem.  Songs by Randy Newman, Jackson Browne, Steve Young (“Seven Bridges Road” before the Eagles recorded it) among others.
Gil Scott-Heron “Pieces Of A Man”. It had to be a long shot that an AM rock station would put “Lady Day and John Coltrane” on their playlist but that’s what KRLA in Pasadena did. And so I heard it and began an appreciation of Gil Scott-Heron that I continue to hold.
Marc Benno “Minnows”. This was another AM radio long shot in 1971 and KRLA won the day again for “Speak Your Mind”. A ballad that ebbs and flows in intensity.  Jim Keltner’s drumming first caught my ear on this song. This was around the time that Benno was playing rhythm guitar with The Doors on the L.A. Woman sessions, and after his collaborations with Leon Russell on the Asylum Choir albums. Many friends of mine also appreciate this album.
Weather Report “Sweetnighter”. Previously unaware of Wayne Shorter and Joe Zawinul, I saw Weather Report in July of 1973 and “Boogie Woogie Waltz” convinced me that I needed to dig more deeply into this music.
Fairport Convention “What We Did On Our Holidays”. Along with the records that Nick Drake would make a few months later, sums up for me some great years of British “folk rock”.
10cc “Sheet Music”. Between their first two albums this one comes out on top for me. It’s close. I was a fan from the release of “Rubber Bullets”.
Harry Belafonte “Calypso”. “Jamaica Farewell” was likely the first set of song lyrics I memorized. Mum had his playing often in our apartment in the late ‘50s.
Brinsley Schwarz “Nervous On The Road”.  I like this best of the band’s records (it may be because adding Ian Gomm to the band was so complimentary to the talents of Nick Lowe, Brinsley, Bob Andrews and Billy Rankin). For this pick I could have swapped out Dave Edmunds’s “Get It” or the Rockpile album “Seconds of Pleasure” but since the list is supposed to describe how my tastes were influenced it makes sense to refer to early period Brinsley.  Made me a Nick Lowe fan for life.
The Monkees “Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd.”.  My introduction to the group. I hadn’t seen the tv show at that time (November and December 1967) at least as far as I recall. Coming at them strictly through these tracks I was impressed by songwriting, production, vocals, guitars and humor.  Not bubblegum, at all.
“Pat Metheny Group” By September 1978 I was being introduced to ECM albums by a friend. I���d enjoyed previous ones but that month when I heard the first notes of “San Lorenzo” something resonated with me that hasn’t stopped.
Graham Parker and the Rumour “Stick To Me”.  This is a rough-and-ready collection produced by Nick Lowe. Drumming by Steve Goulding, guitar leads by Martin Belmont are highlights. The title song, “Soul On Ice”, “Clear Head” are standouts in a great set making this my favorite GP album for all time.
The Gary Burton Quartet with Eberhard Weber “Passengers”.  I think this was probably the beginning of my awareness of Gary Burton’s albums. A great introduction. As a vibes player myself there are major lessons and enjoyment for me throughout his catalog.
Love “Forever Changes”. Surrounded by Love fans in my 20s but not giving the group much time of day then, I locked into the band’s and Arthur Lee’s artistry in my 40s. Like so many people I now appreciate every song on this classic album. Was fortunate to catch the 2003 edition of the band at The Fillmore.
Gene Clark “No Other”. After leaving The Byrds, Clark wrote and recorded many excellent songs showcasing his poetic and melodic gifts. This album is the top of the mountain for me, and public appreciation for the songs and the production have grown greatly in the 50 years since its release. YouTube has video of a tribute tour for the album from a decade ago.
RUNNERS-UP
Elvis Costello and the Attractions “Imperial Bedroom” and “This Year’s Model”
XTC “English Settlement”
Beach Boys “Summer Days (and Summer Nights!)” and “Sunflower”
(Many) Iain Matthews records across the decades, along with titles by his Fairport mates Sandy Denny, Dave Mattacks, Richard Thompson, Ashley Hutchings, Judy Dyble. A nod too to drummer Martin Lamble who had a playing style so well suited to their early records.
Buffalo Springfield “Retrospective”
Carpenters “Ticket to Ride”
Rolling Stones “December’s Children”
The Move “Shazam”
Joni Mitchell “For the Roses”
Bruce Springsteen “The Wild The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle”
Beatles single “Rain” b/w “Paperback Writer”
Man (The Man Band from Wales) "Back Into the Future"

Wild Night (complete version) - Van Morrison with Ronnie Montrose
The poster’s notes:
From Tupelo Honey 1971    Complete version of Wild Night
Van Morrison - rhythm guitar, vocals, backing vocals Ronnie Montrose - electric and acoustic guitars, backing vocals Bill Church - bass Rick Shlosser - drums Jack Schroer - alto, tenor and baritone saxophones Mark Jordan - piano, electric piano Gary Mallaber - percussion John McFee - pedal steel guitar Luis Gasca - trumpet "Boots" Houston - backing vocals Ellen Schroer - backing vocals Janet Planet - backing vocals
This version is a bastardization I assembled from the original song and the ending from an Alternate Take that appeared on the 2008 remaster addition as a bonus track. I found the beginning part of the alternate to be inferior and different from the version that made the album in 1971 but easily tacked the extra ending to the original to make this "Complete" version.

All the members of the original configuration of The Beach Boys noticed the schism in the group became more visible since 15 Big Ones, so their solo efforts shouldn't shock us, but I am surprised Al Jardine didn't release his debut much sooner. Then again, he abandoned the band in the 90's and decided to continue by touring with the hits of his band. However, he eventually visited the studio for A Postcard From California, which, I agree with a review on Allmusic about this, resembles what the collective would have gone at this point. Actually, the album does sound like a trial run for the Beach Boys' reunion that followed his LP, since some of the tunes Jardine discuss the similar themes as the current last comeback of the gathering of musicians he worked in.
