  1. I listened again and it still sounds to me like Beaver of "Frankenstein" and "Fiesta", and Roy on "Damn" and "Sophisticated". I could be wrong. I've been wrong about a lot of things before - just ask my wife about that.
  2. Lem Winchester: With Feeling
  3. According to the liners, Haynes is on "Damn If I Know (The Stroller)" and "Sophisticated Lady". Beaver Harris on "Frankenstein" and "Fiesta". Sounds that way to me. There must be a story how Carter and Haynes ended up playing on this date. Or perhaps Shepp called them and it was just a recording gig.
  4. Yup - original issue laminated cover. Impulse was special back then. Also forgot that Ron Carter was on bass until I was playing the record. I think it was bit unusual for him to be on this sort of date in 1968, but perhaps I'm wrong.
  5. Archie Shepp: The Way Ahead
  6. Rashied Ali - Leroy (or Le Roy, as the cover has it) Jenkins Duo: "Swift Are the Winds of Life" (Survival)
  7. Lester Young: The Complete Aladdin Recordings Volume 2
  8. Kenny Burrell: Blue Lights Volume 2
  9. If this is good, it might get me to visit a record store on Record Store Day.

  16. Something that's perhaps overlooked about Chuck Berry is the social commentary that appeared in his lyrics. He wrote and recorded "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" in 1956 when it was unheard of for a record with lyrics like that to be heard on the airwaves: Arrested on charges of unemployment, he was sitting in the witness stand The judge's wife called up the district attorney Said you free that brown eyed man You want your job you better free that brown eyed man Flying across the desert in a TWA, I saw a woman walking across the sand She been a walkin' thirty miles en route to Bombay To get a brown eyed handsome man Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man Way back in history three thousand years In fact every since the world began There's been a whole lot of good women sheddin' tears For a brown eyed handsome man It's a lot of trouble was brown eyed handsome man Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind Between a doctor and a lawyer man Her mother told her darlin' go out and find yourself A brown eyed handsome man Just like your daddy, he's a brown eyed handsome man Milo Venus was a beautiful lass She had the world in the palm of her hand But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match To get brown eyed handsome man She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man Two, three count with nobody on He hit a high fly into the stand Rounding third he was headed for home It was a brown eyed handsome man That won the game; it was a brown eyed handsome man He had to be sly with his lyrics, but the meaning was there. Beat James Brown by 12 years. And "Nadine": I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back And started walkin' toward a coffee colored Cadillac I was pushin' through the crowd tryin' to get to where she's at And I was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat "Promised Land" makes subtle reference to the Freedom Riders in Alabama: We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle Half way 'cross Alabam And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded In downtown, Birmingham He was ahead of his time in many ways.

    From what I know, it's probably legit in the U.K. and Europe, but not in the U.S. Not that that means anything these days.
