I always thought this was a much underrated album. Might be the four instrumentals on it.

Ran across this looking for other things. Been a while since I heard it. I think it's aged pretty well.

This is for those like me who don't wanna die in Durham
This is a fun CD that blends country, rockabilly, and Zydeco

The bach piece he plays at the beginning is from one of my favorite records - Glenn Gould on piano with Bernstein conducting Bach's concerto in D mol BMV1052



This is the live version and not the actual version available on streaming (the version Beato plays is the one available on streaming) - regardless, it is an incredible recording. How Gould uses his incredible talent for voicing for this recording is sublime. Usually recordings of this piece are incredibly muddy and pulling out the polyphonic lines individually as a listener can be really trying - it's amazing in this almost 70 year old recording (recorded in 1957 iirc) how clear the orchestration and especially the piano sound.

Extraordinary really… I was on tour in Leipzig in both 2013 and 2017 (first with a Bluegrass band! Then with a jazz band)
We visited two of the famous Churches in which Bach performed Thomaskirche und Nikolaikirche
Incredible.

I agree 100% and thank you for sharing that !

Van is the king of blue-eyed soul, but this album reveals him as a poet, as well, especially his Rave on John Donne.

Another kinda under the radar album of similar vintage. Might not be to everybody's taste.

It is definitely to my taste. Back in the 70s I had a Mark Almond album that was soft and plaintive and I loved it. I would play it as I was coming down from my trip on LSD. I wish I could remember the name of that album.

But I love this jazz piece

Mark Volman, founding member of the Turtles, has died at 78. This is one of the best feel good songs ever.

I was a good time
Yeah, I got pretty good
At changing tires
Upstairs, bro
I shot my mouth off, and you showed me what that hole was for

Is anyone listening to The Last Dinner Party? Their first album last year, Prelude to Ecstasy, had some great tracks on it, and their first single off their upcoming second album dropped recently, and if it’s any indication, their second album is going to have some great tracks on it, too.

Their cover of "It Ain't me Babe " on their first album got me hooked on The Turtles...one of the great 1960s icon bands

I love that album. I'm not sure King's Record Shop isn't better, though.

It's fun to watch these people play live.
