Continuing with jazz (minus the conch shells!  ), here's a true joy of B-3 Hammond artistry from Brother Jack McDuff, in (excuse the clumsy two-part edit) a magnificent version of the George Gershwin classic, "Summertime."

LeAnn Rimes absolutely steals this duet with Joss Stone in a terrific version of...

Those two duet-installments are solid.

  Although the first minute or so of this CLEARLY doesn't qualify as solid...let the rest of this make up for it. Ann-Margret and Tina Turner. (Break out the fire extinguishers!)

Back about 1969 or '70, the Brit rockers like Clapton and Cocker were over here supporting some homegrown talent that many folks only recognize in hindsight for their greatness. Although Bonnie Bramlett (like Janis Joplin) did not have a GOOD singing voice, like today's Edie Brickell she did have a raw intense PERSONAL grasp on the material.

Here's a frankly marginal recording with one brief muffled spot where somebody shifted a microphone, but it's easily the best sing-along song I ever heard from the days of the folk rockers. It's the classic "Going Down the Road Feeling Bad," with Duane Allman on guitar.

The original version on disc is here. It's a great introduction to a short-lived partnership. "Lay Down My Burden" is simply amazing, as many times as I've heard it.

Sparkling presentations!

I was on the fringes of that UK/southern-US hard-blues country-traveling niche.  Mostly, Leon Russell for a short time.  I saw The Allman Brothers, with Duane (Cowboy was their warmup-band).  But in my mind, I began to realize that the songwriting for all of it began lagging.

I never got into Edie.  Because I was usually listening to Windsor's CJOM avant-garde stuff.  She sounds pretty-good though.

I also saw Ike & Tina.  Unforgettable.  Ike's wooden stage-presence was unforgettable for the wrong reason, as later explained by Tina in her bio.

This runs about 80 minutes. Enjoy.

I'm bookmarking it.   

Thanks, Q.  Superb session.  Layers of mellow, laidback licks.  Perfect mood-setters.

You deplored declining songwriting. Cale was among the best of that era and used by almost everyone in that circle of performers. His final CD, Troubadour, is well worth a listen.

Yeah, it began lagging in that niche I mentioned.  Not Cale necessarily.  A lot of people were just performing other people's stuff.  Love and vagabonding... changed.
