Delaney & Bonnie's Southern Soul, Rollicking R&R: If they haven't already, they 'gonna get you some day'
"[Clapton] rises to the occasion with dazzling displays of virtuosity throughout, highlighted by a dizzying solo on "I Don't Want to Discuss," a long, languid part on "Only You Know and I Know," and searing, soulful lead on the beautifully harmonized "Coming Home." Vocally, Delaney & Bonnie were never better than they come off on this live set, and the 11-piece band sounds tighter musically than a lot of quartets that were working at the time, whether they're playing extended blues or ripping through a medley o fLittle Richard songs....One only wishes that Atlantic Records might check their vaults for any unreleased numbers from these shows that could fit on an extended CD."
The Klieg Light Club: When great artists go from "true to form" to "true to formula"
Recently I posted about keeping it simple in 2010. Let's chalk this one up as a sequel to that post. This time it's about keeping it real in 2010.

- Elton John (the earliest stuff was so damn earnest)
- Robbie Robertson (stop with the Indian albums and the movie producing and put out the classic you know you have in you..please!)
- Stephen Stills (so much talent + so much meandering = coulda, shoulda, woulda)
- Mick Jagger (solo stuff specifically)
- Aerosmith (Dude looks like a train-wreck...)
- Gregg Allman (he lost his way when he lost Duane...Allman and Woman? Check out that link...WTF is that album cover all about!?! Come on?! That never would have happened it Duane was still alive).
- John Fogerty
- Tom Petty
- Levon Helm
- Bruce Springsteen
- Tom Waits
- Roger McGuinn
- Keith Richards (solo albums and guest-star appearances seal the deal)
- Neil Young (They King of Them All Y'All...in fact, he may deserve his own club)
These Days: How Gregg Allman stole Jackson Browne's song with ONE WORD (or "how to cover a song and not have it suck balls")
Now if I seem to be afraid
To live the life I have made in song
Well it's just that I've been losing for so long These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
Don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
Don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them
