Anytime you have the great Van Morrison covering strong material with excellent musicians you know you’re in for treat. Morrison follows 2016’s strong release Keep Me Singing with his 37th studio album, which he self-produced. The album contains ten covers of old blues and soul classics along with five songs written by Morrison. The album was produced by Morrison. Van’s voice is still an incredible instrument, and he brings passion to these blues songs, whether cover or original. Morrison has stated that from a very early age he connected with the blues. A strong group of collaborators join him on the album including Chris Farlowe, Georgie Fame, Jeff Beck (who contributes to seven of the songs), Paul Jones and Jason Rebello.

Unglaublich: All meine ganz Großen auf einem Album!

Herr G. hat's wiedergefunden. Ich finde diesen Song und die LP immer noch toll!

ZUgabe: Gotcha Covered: “Heroes”
Setlist records show Blondie covering Bowie’s “Heroes” as early as 11/12/1978 — a performance that was captured for posterity on a bootleg that sounds pretty amazing save Debbie Harry’s voice being a little low in the mix.

Through the Great 78 Project the Internet Archive has begun to digitize 78rpm discs for preservation, research, and discovery with the help of George Blood, L.P.. 78s were mostly made from shellac, i.e., beetle resin, and were the brittle predecessors to the LP (microgroove) era.

Das deutsche Feuilleton hat davon keine Notiz genommen. - Schade. Eigentlich eine Schande. - Ein wichtiges Kapitel der westdeutschen Kulturgeschichte wird ignoriert. - Nun ja, welcher Feuilleton-Redakteur, wenn es die denn noch gibt, sollte den Namen kennen oder ein Interesse entwickeln irgendwo nachzuschlagen, wenn der Name in der Datenbank eventuell zu würdigender Todesfälle des Redanktionsnetzwerks gar nicht auftaucht?!?



Theo König war Mitglied von Floh de Cologne. Das war eine zwischen 1966 und 1983 aktive Kölner Politrock-Band und Kabarettgruppe der linken außerparlamentarischen Opposition und des Umfelds der Neuen sozialen Bewegungen in der westdeutschen Bundesrepublik (wie Wikipedia meint). - Die waren musikalisch mehr so an den Fugs orientiert, also eher Dilletanten, aber sie haben immer die richtigen Fragen gestellt!

AllMusic Review by Thom Jurek
One of the many compilations issued in the wake of James Brown's passing in 2007 is this rather strange and necessary one produced by Alan Leeds and Harry Weinger. There's no irony in the title, and it's only a little misleading. Brown loved all kinds of music throughout his lifetime and made no secret of it. This set compiles 12 cuts, all of which Brown originally produced, that accent the jazzier -- and sometimes near all-out jazz (though everything on this baby has more than a little soul grit mixed in) -- side of the Godfather. The coolest thing about this set is that it contains numerous unreleased alternate mixes, extended versions, single edits, and literally unreleased versions and tunes that span from standards and soul-jazz cuts to '70s-era pop tunes. Ranging from 1964's reading of the Adderley Brothers' "Tengo Tango" (never before issued in any form) to a 1970s alternate mix of "For Once in My Life," this is perhaps among the most ambitious of Brown recordings to be released in quite some time. Released gems here include Brown on a killer B-3 take of Jimmy McGriff's "All About My Girl" in 1966 and his version of Joe Zawinul's "Why (Am I Treated So Bad)" from 1967. In between, there are hip mixes of standards like "Cottage for Sale" and "That's My Desire." The sequencing here is not stale either, since it's not chronological. In fact, since it bookends in the year 1970, with the 1960s material sandwiched between, it's rather wonderful aesthetically. Recommended.
