A fine Sunday sermon with the high priestess of soul -
Nina Simone .
It seems she wasn’t best pleased with the Creed Taylor production on this one.
It’s still a nice recording .

I’ve never heard this before , it’s fantastic. I like the gnarly bluesyness of the thing .
Thanks for sharing .
I’ve heard a couple of people say that now . It’s pretty amazing playing .
The midweek dip is rendered powerless when confronted with - “Basie’s Beatle Bag “

Found this on the way home today .
Aretha Now
1968 mono uk release.

Had a listen to a couple of tracks and it played through fine although it’s a bit noisy .
I’ll see if a good clean improves things .

I agree completely, I’m not sure why he changed but tone wise the Strat just doesn’t have the sustain he had early on. To my ears at least 😀
Thought I’d revisit some Cream , I had a notion to hear the Tales of Brave Ulysses again .
I liked Clapton’s choice of tones during this - pre Stratocaster era of his playing .

Jimmy Reed is this evenings choice of Bluesmonger .
A solid collection of his rarer Vee-Jay sides .

He was indeed a virtuoso of the highest order .

I don’t know much about classical music but I often find it while browsing charity shops.
This one is in excellent condition and was imported to Canada at some point .

If only it were so easy to find old jazz and blues.

Mid week dip antidote -
Albert King does Elvis .
Stax 1969.

Cover portrait by - Shirley Glaser , I can’t help wondering what Albert thought of it .

A real good Fun Albert King record .
