What's your opinion on the music, Ken? Listening to: The video above is cued up to a beautiful version of "Stardust" if any one would like to check it out.

He was really "on". And for someone so blues-drenched, the range he exhibited on that night was revealing. Earthy, yet sophisticated, and always swinging. His reading of Eliington's 'Single Petal Of A Rose' is exquisite. I thank the late John Norris for pushing Junior to perform as a soloist. He was reluctant to do so, and it was quite late in his career before he did, and I for one preferred Junior that way. Edited February 25, 2019 by Ted O'Reilly Fixed a typo. I hate typos.

It's a really fine record, which I've always enjoyed. You're right about the Ellington piece. Now: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted O'Reilly Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 I already had this one, but found another copy at a used record store for $4 (Canadian!) and couldn't resist. What's wrong with having 2 copies of the same thing, anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duaneiac Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) I've always liked this record. Granted, I am a Monkees fan, so I had a predisposition for liking a Michael Nesmith project, but this has its own charm. I also like the story behind its recording. It was recorded over a weekend so all the studio musicians (including Victor Feldman, Hal Blaine, Earl Palmer, Chuck Berghofer, Tommy Tedesco, Frank Capp, James Burton, Jack Nimitz, Milt Bernhardt, Kenny Shroyer, Bud Brisbois, Jimmy Zito and Buddy Childers among others) got paid double time and the sessions had an open bar and were catered by Chasens restaurant. Mr. Nesmith explained that he was going to owe a similar amount to the IRS so he said he'd rather spend it on these sessions & musicians and write it off. "You Just May Be The One" sounds like if Stan Kenton and Nino Rota collaborated on a college marching band theme song.

duaneiac Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Wow -- the ultimate "love gone wrong" album! A great piece of work that is at times sad, funny, painful, wistful, but always singable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
