Little Feat- Transmission Impossible [3 CD, 2015] (FLAC + 320)

 

With an influence as far reaching still as their musical eclecticism was during the band s golden era, Little Feat remain one of the very finest American groups of the 1970s. And while their classic LPs from that time remain essential, it was during their live shows that they transcended mere excellence and took proceedings to somewhere quite extraordinary, if not supernatural. This delightful triple disc set captures perfectly the mighty Feat doing exactly what they did best, when they were doing it best. Featuring three complete FM radio broadcast recordings from the years 1973, 1974 and 1975 respectively, during which the true nature of this legendary act, nay institution, is revealed in dynamic performance and magnificent audio quality, this collection will surely become a fixed asset in the collections of fans the world across. The first disc here includes the group s performance at the intimate Ebbets Field venue in Denver Colorado, recorded on 19th July 1973, just a few months after the release of Dixie Chicken, arguably Little Feat s most cherished album. Next up comes the 1974 in-studio recording they made for transmission at New York s Ultrasound Studios on 19th September that year, shortly after Feats Don t Fail Me Now came out, another favourite LP among those in the know. Finally, the set concludes with one of the most famous gigs they ever performed, the 1975 Halloween show from Boston s majestic Orpheum Theatre, a recording made a month before The Last Record Album was issued.

David Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name (2 CD, 50th Anniversary , 2019) [FLAC-HD]

If I Could Only Remember My Name is the debut solo album by American singer-songwriter David Crosby, released in February 1971 on Atlantic Records. The guest musicians on the album included Graham Nash, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and members of Jefferson Airplane, Santana, and the Grateful Dead. The ensemble was given the informal moniker of The Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra. It was one of four high-profile albums (all charting within the top fifteen) released by each member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in the wake of their chart-topping Déjà Vu album, along with After the Gold Rush (Neil Young, September 1970), Stephen Stills (Stephen Stills, November 1970) and Songs for Beginners (Graham Nash, May 1971). It peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Top LPs chart and earned a RIAA gold record certification in the United States. 

On October 15, 2021, a 50th anniversary re-issue of the album was released with numerous out-takes and demos, as well as liner notes by Steve Silberman. 

 

Jerry Garcia & David Grisman discography 1991-2012

Jerry Garcia and David Grisman first met in the parking lot of a bluegrass festival in West Grove, Pennsylvania in 1964. They were both members of Old & In The Way in 1973 and performed together occasionally in other situations. They started performing and recording together in 1990 usually supported in concert by Jim Kerwin (bass) and Joe Craven (violin, percussion). Subsequently they performed live occasionally but recorded many sessions at David Grisman's Dawg Studios. The majority of their releases are drawn from those studio sessions.

Pontus Snibb's Wreck Of Blues - Homebound (2021/FLAC)

 

No one can ever say that Bonafide frontman, Pontus Snibb, is laid back. If he's not bouncing about Europe heading up Bonafide, or skin thumping with Jason & the Scorchers, we now see he's managed to set time aside to write and soon record the third record together with his trio Wreck of Blues.

Pontus's take on it: »I've been into the whole blues vibe since I was a kid, and if I'm honest, it will probably be that sort of riff that will be getting played when I stop doing what I’m doing. When I finally got around to doing this, the tracks were the easy bit as I've had most of them in storage some time, but as you know, I never stop creating. The musicianship was essential, and after doing over 2000 shows with Håkan Nyberg (a.k.a DAD) I couldn't think of anyone else I'd rather have part of my rhythm section. He's taken care of the skins, and the low-end rumble comes from my bass soul mate, Kalle Johansson.«
