I don't know in which measure curated by themselves, but it's a nice collection of blues and early rock and roll classics. Howlin Wolf, among them. Of course. That's the tracklist:
I have it and I like this style a lot. For me it's like the great mother of RnR. And I think I will give it a listen tonight. Last time is too far away. So much that I don't know where it is. But Selects are easy to detect.
That was the first song I ever heard of Tom Waits in the early 80s. But wasn't it on another album?
I remember Waits acting in the wonderful Down by Law by Jim Jarmusch, with John Lurie and Roberto Benigni. I recently saw this movie again and it's oh so good.
That's about his best period for me. Station to station and prior to the Berlin trilogy. Although he was into his neofashistic egotrip then. With Carlos Alomar as his star guitarist.
That one was one I recently revisited at a local filmotheque (I went with some friends who found it too over the top) after seeing it when it when it came out. A totally crazed out story, as is Benicio del Toro, who is phenomenal.
Yes they do. And now that I think of it, I don't know if it's the whole Azymuth or not. Wanted to edit the post but it was not possible. Has happened before.
I have Legacy of Spies, but haven't read it still. And I didn't know it had something to do with the other book. I thought it was just his closing of the whole spy world.
And enjoying it mightily. It's about the Cold War, something I know well. Because I lived through it. And I'd been to Berlin when there still was the wall. So I passed Checkpoint Charlie when it was still in operation. Not a tourist trap like now. And I remember a big notice stating You are now leaving the American sector.
Because I seeked it out in Spotify and am listening to it right now. I have a Tee-shirt of that tour, which I am wearing right now. I inherited it from my (younger) brother who went to see him during that tour in the 80s.
