Post by: EasyAce on May 08, 2018, 04:40:25 pm: When I got the blues bite as a fourteen-year-old, two of the first blues albums I bought were Robert Johnson's posthumous anthologies, King of the Delta Blues Singers and King of the Delta Blues Singers Vol. II. I thought then and I still think now that this music couldn't possibly have been of this world. I got why Eric Clapton said later, "Up until I was about 24, if you didn't know who Robert Johnson was I wouldn't talk to you." I was much the same way, the music was that powerful to me. And still is, though I won't hold it against someone if they don't know who he was.

Happy birthday in blues heaven, Robert Johnson.

Since the YouTuber who posted the first album didn't see fit to use its original artwork up top, here it is:

(Just what Columbia Records had in mind with "Thesaurus of Classic Jazz" I have no idea, since it might have been a planned series but it never came to fruit. Robert Johnson's connection to jazz is that the legendary talent scout/producer John Hammond, Sr. sought him out to include him in his planned 1938 Carnegie Hall concert, Spirituals to Swing, a kind of live presentation of jazz history and jazz's influences, only to discover the hard way that Johnson was recently dead. It prompted Hammond to reach for Big Bill Broonzy to take Johnson's planned place, and it helped make Broonzy a blues star.)

Trivia: Neil Young wasn't all that confident in his singing when Buffalo Springfield cut their first album; he wrote five songs for the album, but he handed the lead vocal chores on three to Richie Furay:

Buffalo Springfield, "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing"

! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u6xJ8GGseQ#)

Buffalo Springfield, "Flying on the Ground is Wrong"

! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_ZvAEfve38#)

Buffalo Springfield, "Do I Have to Come Right Out and Say It"

! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUn_bdz1TLI#)
(This song, by the way, was the B-side of their first single, "For What It's Worth.")

Richie Furay went on to write one of Buffalo Springfield's most affecting songs . . .

Buffalo Springfield, "Kind Woman"

! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Yl8SW5s11s#)

. . . and often featured it in Poco's live performances while he was the leader of the group. Furay also wrote the title track of Poco's first album, a song that spoke of Buffalo Springfield's collapse and became Poco's signature song for a long enough time . . .

Poco, "Pickin' up the Pieces"

! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ4B09BWNGY#)

Poco began as what was left of Buffalo Springfield after Young and Stephen Stills took a hike before their third album, Last Time Around, was finished. Furay and Springfield bassist Jim Messina (he'd replaced Bruce Palmer after their second and best album, Again) finished the album with a guest, Rusty Young, one of the few pedal steel guitarists willing to work on the rock and roll side of the street. The three felt comfortable enough working together that Young decided to stick with the two soon-to-be-ex-Springfielders for their next project, and he even convinced them to hire drummer/singer George Grantham. They brought in future Eagles bassist/vocalist Randy Meisner to complete the new lineup. They thought of calling it Pogo until cartoonist Walt Kelly decided not so fast, boys, prompting them to change the name to Poco before a Kelly lawsuit could go past the filing stage.

Getting Poco a recording contract took something similar to a baseball trade to make happen: On the Poco side, Randy Meisner, Rusty Young, and George Grantham hadn't had any kind of recording deals previously, but Richie Furay and Jim Messina were tied to Atlantic's Atco label as Springfield members. Enter David Geffen, then a talent agent and manager, who was trying to resolve a similar issue involving the newly formed Crosby, Stills & Nash---Atlantic wanted the new trio and they already had Stills by way of the Springfield, but both David Crosby and Graham Nash were tied to Columbia and its subsidiary Epic thanks to their previous memberships in, respectively, the Byrds and the Hollies. Geffen hunkered down with then-Columbia president Clive Davis and they agreed on a deal---Furay's and Messina's contracts would be traded to Columbia/Epic in exchange for Columbia sending those of Crosby and Nash to Atlantic.
(The player to be named later, of course, was Neil Young, who had a solo deal of his own with Reprise, but Young joining CS&N was no issue since Young, too, had the Springfield tie to Atlantic.)

So Poco signed to Epic. And right away they ran into the issue that would dog them their entire career---lineup changes. Randy Meisner left the group either during or after completion of their debut album, Pickin' up the Pieces---he didn't like that Jim Messina, who had produced the final Buffalo Springfield album and was producing Poco, refused to let other band members be part of the final mixing of the album. Meisner joined Rick Nelson's band before falling in with the players who eventually called themselves the Eagles. His replacement was another future Eagle, Timothy B. Schmit, who arrived in time for their second, eponymous album. Both albums drew powerful reviews but sold little; in 1969-70 their more explicit country-rock hybrid was still ahead of its time. (The Flying Burrito Brothers, the band Gram Parsons formed after leaving the Byrds, had something of the same issue, though both bands were strong concert draws.)

Messina convinced Poco to make their third album a live album, considering the band's strength as a concert attraction . . . and they daringly made it mostly new material. The ploy worked; the album pulled up just short of the top 25, but Messina decided to leave when he realised Furay was asserting himself too strongly as the group's leader and chief songwriter. His replacement was former Illinois Speed Press guitarist Paul Cotton. In a rarity in Poco's career, this lineup hung in for three more studio albums before Furay himself decided he'd had enough of a band who was getting rave reviews and had built a consistent audience for live performances but couldn't sell records. By the time Poco eventually had their big hit single, "Crazy Love," Rusty Young was the only original member left. Just before that single and its album Legend, Schmit left Poco---when the Eagles invited him to step in and succeed, ironically enough, Randy Meisner. Unlike the earlier departures of Meisner, Messina, and Furay, Schmit not only left Poco on good terms, the band actually stopped just short of threatening to kill him if he didn't accept the Eagles' offer.

They never duplicated their "Crazy Love" success, though Schmit returned to the group after the Eagles collapsed in the early 1980s. The band soldiered on with the usual lineup shifts until the original quintet---Furay, Messina, Young, Meisner, and Grantham---reunited in 1989 for the first time since early 1969. And hit the jackpot: "Call It Love" went top twenty. The lineup didn't stay together, but Rusty Young, Paul Cotton, and George Grantham kept the band going until Grantham's stroke in 2004. In the last decade, Poco has been Young, Cotton, bassist/singer Jack Sundrud, and drummer George Lawrence, at least until Cotton left at last to be replaced by keyboardsman Mike Webb (in 2010) and Young decided to retire from full-time touring in 2014.

Perhaps more to add on later, that's quite a few well known names there!

Okay, Bono, surely deserves a 2nd video, let's see...."I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For":
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3-5YC_oHjE#)

Maybe some have their favorite (favourite for our UK/Ireland readers) U2 song, I do like "Sunday, Bloody Sunday", it's just not as upbeat as the two posted.

U2 is sort of like one of the last major rock bands, I mean chronologically it seems, one can say Oasis I suppose and it's really not something that one can define. I'm not into their music that much though I do know it fairly well.

It seems Bono does a lot of good things, maybe one can find some negatives, I'm sure they exist.

"Dylan based "Walls of Red Wing" on the traditional Scottish folk ballad "The Road and the Miles to Dundee", which he may have learned during his trip to London in early 1963, from other aspiring folk singers, such as Martin Carthy.[1]"

Anglin married Louise Wright in 1933; they were 17 and 16 years old respectively. Their 30-year marriage ended with Jack's death on March 8, 1963. The couple had a son, Terry. Driving alone to attend a memorial service for Patsy Cline not far from his home, he rounded a bend in Madison, Tennessee at a high speed and died in the ensuing crash[2]

Johnny Wright, distinguished for a number songs, along with "Hello Vietnam", as used in "Full Metaljacket"...

Memorial Day: The Story Of A Hero Son, A Dad's Grief And A Hit Song | Opinion
By Lee Habeeb On 5/26/18

I was in my car on Memorial Day back in 2011. I was running errands in the family SUV when I stumbled across a story on the radio. The kind thatâ€™s so good, you stay in the car long after youâ€™ve reached your destination.

It was an interview with the father of a fallen soldier on a show called â€œHere and Now.â€ His name was Paul Monti, and his son Jared was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2006 while trying to save the life of a fellow soldier. Jared receivedâ€”posthumouslyâ€”Americaâ€™s highest honor for heroism: the Medal of Honor.

Monti was being interviewed because he was on a mission. On the Veterans Day after his son was killed, he tried to place a flag near his sonâ€™s grave at National Massachusetts Cemetery on Cape Cod. Officials said he couldnâ€™t. The grave markers were flush with the ground, and flags would make it hard to cut the grass.

Continued at: http://www.newsweek.com/memorial-day-story-hero-son-opinion-944355 (http://www.newsweek.com/memorial-day-story-hero-son-opinion-944355)

Nicky "Topper" Headon, drummer for the Clash. Anyway, "Safe European Home", probably the first Clash song I ever heard, on a compilation of the new Punk bands, a light bluish vinyl record:

"Straight To Hell", quite an evocative piece by this great band (song has a bit about Vietnam, it's a rather iconic number):

Post by: EasyAce on June 01, 2018, 06:14:08 pm: Birthday boy Nelson Riddle's first significant gig was in the trombone section of Tommy Dorsey's band, when Dorsey added a) strings, and b) arranger extraordinaire Sy Oliver to his organisation, and you can bet Riddle was paying very close attention to Oliver's work. (Oliver was previously the man who helped Jimmie Lunceford create the two-beat style that made Lunceford a star for a couple of years earlier . . . ) Even though Riddle had already made a splash arranging Glenn Miller's "Little Brown Jug" . . .

Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra, "Opus One" (note the label misspelled Sy Oliver's name)

! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmakg8H0Ybk#)

He studied orchestration further while he was in the Merchant Marine, then moved to southern California and found work as an arranger with, among others, Doris Day, arranging her hit "Again" even though he didn't receive label credit for it . . .

Doris Day, "Again"

! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7PXQW5Evkw#)

Riddle was hired by Capitol to begin arranging for Nat King Cole in 1950; Les Baxter hired Riddle, who promptly gave Cole the biggest seller of his career but took the arranging credit for himself. Fat lot of good that did him: Cole discovered who'd really written the charts, and kept Riddle aboard . . .

Nat King Cole, "Mona Lisa"

! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8xk8AEZYj8#)

. . . and not long afterward, after becoming convinced by Cole's hits, Frank Sinatra gave in and let Riddle arrange an album for him after he signed with Capitol, and after his first couple of records with his longtime arranger (and fellow Dorsey alumnus) Axel Stordahl tanked. It was a marriage made in the music heavens . . .
