This is why I'm reluctant to sell any records or CDs which don't immediately strike me....

In honor of Bloomsday, I decided to spin an album which I think I had only listened to once since I got it:

Andre Hodeir - Anna Livia Plurabelle (Philips). This is a jazz cantata by Hodeir, based on part of Finnegans Wake by James Joyce. I like much of Hodeir's music, but this piece was so strange that I put it on the shelf after one listening. Well, tonight I loved it. The orchestra includes Jean-Luc Ponty, Michel Portal, Hubert Rostaing, and Pierre Michelot. Joyce's surrealistic words are even odder filtered through the French accents of singers Monique Aldebert and Nicole Croisille. But for whatever reason, I really enjoyed this tonight, and I'm glad I kept the album.

My sweet wife is 800 miles away tonight. I'm consoling myself by digging deep into the soul/R & B 45s:

Jackie Moore - Precious, Precious/Willpower (Atlantic)

Denise LaSalle - Trapped By a Thing Called Love/Keep it Coming (Westbound)

Oscar Weathers - You Wants to Play/The Spoiler (Top and Bottom)

James Carr - That's What I Want to Know/You've Got My Mind Messed Up (Goldwax)

Preston Love featuring Shuggie Otis - Cool Ade/Shuggie's Blues (Kent)

Latimore - There's a Red-Neck in the Soul Band/Just One Step (Glades)

Then a handful of records by one of the greatest soul voices of all time:

Johnny Adams - Tra-La-La/Showdown (Ric)

Johnny Adams - Reconsider Me/If Could See You One More Time (SSS)

Johnny Adams - South Side of Soul Street/Something Worth Leaving For (SSS)

Johnny Adams - I Live My Whole Life at Night/No Gettin' Over Me (Hep' Me)

Johnny Adams - Hell Yes I Cheated/I'm Afraid to Let You Into My Life (Paid)

On to a few more New Orleans singles:

Eddie Bo - Every Dog Has His Day/Tell It Like It Is (Ric)

Chuck Carbo - Tears, Tears and More Tears/I Shouldn't But I Do (Ace)

Earl King - Those Lonely, Lonely Nights/Baby Get Your Gun (Ace)

James Booker - Gonzo/Cool Turkey (Peacock)

And I have ended so many of my 45 nights with this great record:

L'il Queenie and the Percolators - My Darlin' New Orleans/Wild Natives (Great Southern)

Following Bright Moments' request/thread, dug out:

Terry Gibbs 'Vibes on Velvet' (EmArcy, mono, blue label)

Very nice album with Terry Gibbs playing against a background of a sax section with arrangements by Manny Albam.

That does sound nice! :)

Percy Faith - Black Magic Woman - Columbia

TTK is trying to keep up with the sounds, vibrations and feelings of today. It's important to know what the kids are listening to, to foster mutual understanding between the generations.

There's a really cool tune on here called "Sun King" credited to Lennon and McCartney. I'm assuming this a Beatles tune.
