What rock music are you listening to? Non-Jazz, Non-Classical.

This album, which came out just a little over a year ago, was a godsend for me. I’m a longtime fan of early Oasis (the first three albums and assorted b-sides, definitely the band’s “imperial phase,” as the saying goes) and the Stone Roses, so hearing Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher and Roses guitarist John Squire together is a joy.

Listened through a selection of Steely Dan, from this box set, as I have an opportunity to play a gig or two with a Steely Dan cover band in October.

I'm not the drummer. I will be the percussionist. Playing Victor Feldman's conga licks on "Do It Again".

Yes “Tales of Topographic Oceans” Atlantic 2 LP, LP 1

I have a long history with this 2 LP set. I was in a band with a great guitar player that I had spent a year beforehand just jamming with and helping him work out his original songs and favorite covers. We were blues guys who had that as our bedrock, but when he launched the band he wanted to branch out into more rock territory. Before he had urged me into a Mitch Mitchell style, and I had been practicing to Kenny Clarke and Jack DeJohnette drumming and shifted some of that into my “style.” All of a sudden he asked me to study this Yes release because he thought he and I both needed to “reign in our busy playing” and he also liked how Alan White had a bit more of a laid back “feel” and how he structured the drum patterns for each segment of these long full-side recordings. I liked Yes, but I was mourning the departure of Bill Buford, and I didn’t “get” what my friend was after for a while. I made tapes of the four sides here and did practice to them, and listen to them over and over and then tried a new approach in practices and what I thought was not a great idea at first became a good thing for us.

And then the bass player quit. The first bass player that quit. It seemed with this band every time we would get “there” and get a gig someone LEFT. Sigh. That was a long time ago!

My vinyl playback is the best it’s ever been and I’m enjoying revisiting this music and hearing it so well reproduced.

Waaaaay back in the day, this was the one Yes record that I really dug.

Come to find out that today it's the one OG Yes record that people hate.

Go figure that.

Yes' Topographic Oceans was never a favorite of mine but it's been many decades since I've heard it. Back in those days, "Fragile" & "Yessongs" got onto the turntable quite a bit, with "Yessongs" being a sort of a live "Greatest Hits" package.

I forgot about Relayer. I recall liking that one too. But that was it.

Just picked up this gem:

Mickey Newbury - Live at Montezuma Hall / Looks Like Rain (Elektra, 2 LPs, 1973)

I love Mickey Newbury's music.
