The Music Thread

Like her voice a lot. When I first heard her, first with the New Pornographers and then solo, I wondered about some of her choices of material. Hadn't heard much of her lately.

Did always like this collaboration with Peter Wolf.

Now I have a soft spot for girl guitarists so this Wynona Judd tune speaks to me with Lyle Lovett and Naomi Judd singing back up.



and that CD is a keeper :cool:

That album is phenom - even aside from the title track - and I have very happy memories associated with it. Cheers 🍻

I will never understand why J.J. Cale wasn't more popular.

He wasn't flashy. Low key guy. Wikipedia does a good job of telling his story. One little tidbit which I'd heard before:

The history on that deal was, the original "After Midnight" I recorded was on Liberty Records on a 45-rpm, and it was fast. That was about 1967-68, maybe 69. I can't remember exactly. But that was the original "After Midnight", and that is what Clapton heard. If you listen to Eric Clapton's record, what he did was imitate that. No one heard that first version I made of it. I tried to give the thing away, until he cut it and made it popular. So, when I recorded the Naturally album Denny Cordell, who ran Shelter Records at the time, and I had already finished the album, he said, "John, why don't you put 'After Midnight' on there because that is what people recognize you for?" I said, "Well, I've already got that on Liberty Records, and Eric Clapton's already cut it, so if I'm going to do it again I'm going to do it slow.[1
