Front Burner Alert: More Vinyl straight from Heart of the Beast
- Rolling Stones: Out of Our Heads & England’s Newest Hit Makers (Keef’s guitar hand was HUNGRY at this stage. I think he sounds more like BB King every day now…like a horn…a trumpet…like the Memphis Horns. Keef Richards has turned in to the Memphis Horns and I love it).
- Aretha Franklin: Aretha Arrives (her voice was down right, down right on this one. The Willie Nelson cover makes you want to take her home)
- Beach Boys: Surf’s Up (this is one intense album. So damn good. I’m blown away by how cool this is. The cover of the album is a sure sign this thing ain’t sunbeams and white caps)
- Townes Van Zandt: Live at the Old Quarter (brilliant lamenting on this one)
- Sonny Clark: Cool Struttin’ (The Kingfish recc’d this one. It’s a front burner fo’ sho’)
- Hendrix: Axis: Bold as Love (my fave Hendrix…”Just ask the Axis. He knows everything”)
- Steely Dan: Aja (this one is Lefsetz’s fault)









Okay, you have EXCELLENT taste in music. And here I was thinking you were a Justin Timberlake man…John Lee Hooker, Neil Young and Bob Dylan drove me to work today.
