They also played John Mayer covering Hendrix. Yeah, he can play gee-tar, but his white-boy voice is just wrong wrong wrong for "Axis: Bold As Love".


The tabs are saying he's jumping Jessica Simpson's bones these days--if that's accurate, any cred he might have generated with his blues project just went out the window. I know it's apples and oranges, but I'm just sayin...

One of the tabs this week says he's dumping her, because she was just using him for publicity.

I'm aghast that any self-respecting periodical could suggest such a thing about Jessica Simpson! Simply aghast!

In her case, more like melons than apples :wink:

I just kind of assumed that Mayer & Sheryl Crow were gettin' it on, since they're touring together.  I mean, she's pretty much f---ed everyone else.

had dinner in the 'hood tonite and they were playing this CD -- took me a few minutes to realize it was chanteuse-y, samba-y covers of New Wave songs like Heaven 17's "Let Me Go", Visage's "Fade to Grey", and New Order's "Blue Monday".  Very interesting -- I asked who it was and they're called Nouvelle Vague. Amazon (they have 2 CDs available there) calls them a "loungecore" electronica outfit. Anyone else familiar with them? Princess? Gaz? Bueller?

I've heard that CD and while their take on the Buzzcocks was fun, the gimmick wears thin after only a few listens (and yes, it feels like a gimmick, whether it's intended as one or not).  Still, not bad at all.

Well, not exactly new per se, but it's new to me.

I recently ran across a recording of James Taylor playing a solo show at the Berkeley Community Theater from May of 1970. Decent recording, and it's got a number of the Sweet Baby James-era hits included, as well as covers of Joni Mitchell's For Free and Merle Haggard's Okie From Muskogee (small bit of irony in the latter--who knew JT could be ironic?).

What I find really interesting, though, is that midway through the set, he introduces a woman to come out and play piano with him--it's Carole King. What's funny is she gets polite applause, but being as Tapestry wouldn't be released for another 10 months or so, it's nothing near what I expected to hear. Then he introduces her singing "a song she wrote with Gerry Goffin in 1962, Up on the Roof" and still, polite applause but not nearly what I'd have expected. Wonder how many of the people in the audience would, 18 months later, be boasting of having seen Carole King and James Taylor on the same stage?

Just had to share that with someone, and I knew you guys would appreciate.

Very cool. Her first solo LP, Writer, was out around that time, iirc, tho' it attracted little airplay -- and it's virtually a Tapestry clone, a mix of new songs with a sprinkling of covers of songs she wrote for others.  Nice stuff, as was the LP by the band she was in, The City, which includes a version of "Wasn't Born to Follow".

Definitely not new, except to me.

This evening Big Rick played the aforementioned "too white" John Mayer doing some pretty damned sweet imitation of a soul singer on "I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)" and Big Rick couldn't get over how good he sounded.  Said something to the effect of "Man, it was like hearing Latimore lay it down..."

Who?  Latimore?

Then I missed a bit of it, but apropos of nothing (or something), he said, "You know who should do something together?  Bonnie Raitt and Wanda Jackson."  Who?  Wanda Jackson.

Cool.

And months ago -- there was some rock tune that KFOG was playing that included the line, "Ain't nothing going on but the rent."  And afterwards he gave them props for quoting the line from Gwen Guthrie, saying, "Yeah, those guys are all right, since they know that."

Big Rick's all right, since he knows that and a lot more. :-}

new release, rather than new music.  Rhino looks to have outdone itself wiht this box set giving the Nuggets treatment to Soul/Funk 67-77.

http://www.rhino.com/store/ProductDetail.lasso?Number=77635

I think this just solved half of my christmas shopping needs.

p.s. - scroll down the page for a chance to hear a clip of every track.
