cosa state ascoltando ? vol. 2

E' vero che non è mai troppo tardi, ma scoprire solo oggi Roy Harper è da :shit:(soprattutto non ricordando che ha cantato con i Pink Floyd e collaborato a lungo con i Led Zeppelin ). Faccio in parte ammenda ...
... con Have a Cigar (è Roy a cantare)

... con Gilmour e Kate Bush

... e da solo ...
 


Call it stormy Monday (but Tuesday is just as bad)
(Live at Blues Alley originally self-released in May 1996)

Un'Eva Cassidy raffreddata e febbricitante ma in gran forma...bravo anche il chitarrista.
E pensare che per pubblicare questo album si è dovuta autofinanziare dato che nessuno la prendeva in considerazione...

"Unable to interest a major label in recording her music, Cassidy cashed in a small pension she had accumulated while working at her day job in a plant nursery to self-fund this recording of herself and her live band, comprising Lenny Williams (piano), Keith Grimes (guitar), Chris Biondo (bass) and Raice McLeod (drums), with Cassidy herself supplying vocals and acoustic guitar. The Blues Alley venue was booked for two nights, January 2 and 3, 1996, however on the first night technical issues prevented the tapes being any use so all of the recorded material used originates from the second, Wednesday night's performance. Cassidy was suffering from a light cold through both shows and initially felt that the performances were not good enough to release, but eventually agreed after a previously completed studio take of "Oh, Had I a Golden Thread" was added to round out the package.
This was Cassidy's last release in her lifetime, but the beginning of her posthumous rise to fame. She died of melanoma six months after it was released, ten months after it was recorded."

Aspettiamo tutti qualcosa.
L'attesa di Jaz Coleman.
Nella testa un groviglio di silenzio e rivolta ...


Motives changing, day to day
The fire increases, masks decay
I look at the river, white foam floats down
The body's poisoned, gotta sit tight
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
After wakening, silence grows
The screams subside, distortion shows
Mutant thoughts, of bad mouthed news
It's just another birth, of distorted views
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
The wait
