Totally agree! You can not account for a person's tastes in music. (I hope I did not imply differently.)

Tigerlilly was a very good CD!

[telling tiger 156]

Did a quick check, she wrote the lyrics and composed the music on Tigerlilly....

Another of my favorite bands that I can listen to almost anytime:

Yep.....great music......Fagen and his wife have a place near here, they stay at sporadically. Interesting fella. Doing a little touring right now too....

They will be in Bham on April, 28th.......in Columbus, Ohio and Port Washington, before and after....

BJCC Concert Hall, I believe.

As a sailor, I have to put this here. Even though I never was in danger in my time in the U.S. Navy, all sailors have a brotherhood.

You guys are taking me to music school. Much appreciated.

Not doing so bad yourself.....Beck is a highly creative musician and has made quite a name for himself in producing circles, too...

He has a highly unusual outlook on music and that is not a complaint.

[FoundationEagle 637]

Another from that era...not exactly a lyrical genius...but a heck of a guitar player and solid musician

[Tiger Refuge 6,675]

Sorry to back up to the blues again, but I saw him perform in Memphis with Jimmy Ray Vaughn back in the mid 90's. To this day, one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Ahhh, the magic days of their youth.

No need to apologize for bringing up blues. It's the basis for more music in the past 60 years than anything else. Without the blues, most of the music posted in this thread would have remained unrealized. Just about every musician in this thread has a blues influence Blues is one of the best things that ever happened to music. 80 percent of what I listen to is based somewhere in the blues. 80 percent of the music I play is based in blues. Blues is King of Kings...and is the home of kings... ( BB, Albert and Freddie ). Stones, Zeppelin, Young, Hendrix, SRV...the list could go and go and go...all based out of the blues. It's hard to have a music thread without the blues...and if we did, it would probably be a classical music thread

!!!!!!!

Only when I watched the Muscle Shoals documentary (absolute must watch for just about everybody who posts on this thread, but I get the feeling most of you have probably already seen it) did I learn that the backing band for Wilson Pickett's version of 'Hey Jude' was the Allman Brothers. Duane's solo is perfect. It's absolutely perfect.

Sea Change is a top 5 album for me.

Edit: Sorry, I know this song isn't on Sea Change. Just giving Beck his props.

I'll have to check Sea Change out. Thanks,loof.

Lots of people hate this band. Not I.

[telling tiger 156]

The list of artists who recorded, started, did sessions, produced and damn near anything else you can imagine musically, that worked in Fame or Muscle Shoals in general, reads like a music hall of fame and lifetime achievement. Dylan, Stones, Aretha, ABB, no reason to list these.....common knowledge for the musically inclined.

Small town, huge history. The area still pumps out talent today....hope it never dies...Other than AU, likely the thing that gives me the most pride in Alabama?

Muscle Shoals...

Old footage, great insight...I'll stop now.....

[McLoofus 35,182]

^I'm not good about focusing on lyrics when I listen to music- I've honestly had trouble deciphering them my whole life, and after years of turning it up to 11, I don't hear as well as I used to in general- so I really enjoy documentaries and stories that give further insight into what was happening when songs were written and albums were put out.

TL;DR- Keep it coming!

[telling tiger 156]

Lyrics are often a starting point for me.....the word is as much an instrument of the song to me as anything...I play and love more than a few instruments. So music is also very important to me...I simply feel the same way about a songs lyrical content...My memory stores lyrics like some people do boxscores...lol.

Documentary pieces are a great look behind the scenes and into the process many people never get...Video and tape recorded performances, in the day, led to a great marriage of music and artistic expression or performance reproduction in ways many never imagined. You almost can't separate music vids and music anymore. Part of the overall press kit and electronic press kit...

i am almost exactly like this. Only in the last couple years I have go interested in who wrote any song. The muscle shoals documentary was awesome.

[telling tiger 156]

Sigh.......oh well....I can always talk lyric writing with eagleflight34......lol

[telling tiger 156]

On writing and rewriting.....not bad....
