Valerie June- Pushin' Against a Stone -2013

                                                  

I just randomly picked an album out of my collection that I have not heard yet. This album is great. It isn't amazing but it sure is wonderful. I really like her and can't wait to hear her other stuff. Valerie June is a Tennessee native who musically is in love with all aspects of southern american roots music ( gospel, blues, country, folk, soul/r&b, americana ,appalachian,  etc). She plays guitar and ukulele, sings  and writes music with a feeling that she would like for the listener to take a ride with her briefly visiting  different styles of music all tied into the southern roots vein. .Released in 2013, not  one song on this album is bad and I would say this is one of those albums that works best listening to the entire album. The songs by themselves are great also. I put all of them on my playlist minus one. That means I like it. I have countless performers on my playlist that I only put on one song of theirs.  Performing on the album as well is Dan Auerbach from the Black Keys, Booker T. Jones from Booker T. and the M.G.'s, Jimbo Mathis from the Squirrel Nut Zippers and the South Memphis String Band, Richard Swift and many others. One of things  I really enjoyed was the way the album is engineered from full sound to stark and minimal.  This is one album that I'm sure I will enjoy it more and more each time I hear it. I'm pleased with my random choice.  The video above is the title track song. Rhett Taylor

Beatles Revolver 1966

Re-Releases Review

                                     

    

Let me start by saying that this record changed my life. I started collecting vinyl at around 7.  I have quite a few records that say Rhett Taylor 3^rd grade. While everyone else was at recess, I’d be listening to records I had brought in on the film projector record players. This was one of them. I grew up in a religious farming community in North Central Florida.  I would play this and other records when I was 7 and up on an old Magnavox sound system that I would point the speakers facing out of the open windows to the people who was working on the neighboring farms. Nothing used to thrill me more at 8 wondering if “Tomorrow never Knows” moved them like it did me.  . I was so let down when I realized that people did don’t have the same passion as I did towards the song. Little did I know at the time that the lyrics were inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead. That being said, I love this record. It was the single most important record starting my musical journey.

Released in 1965, it consisted of fourteen tracks. The engineering of the album makes it one of the most experimental recordings in Pop history. Much of the instrumentation is channeled through the left side while the voice is on the right. Throughout it, there is lots of playful panning of sound effects and the like. The album was produced by George Martin who did most of the engineering. Revolver was the first time that the Beatles used the studio as a type of instrument.

The opening track “Taxman” written by Harrison is one of the best album openers of all time. “Taxman” leads the way to let listeners know George Harrison isn’t sitting on the side lines on this album. The Rest of the album is pure early psychedelic magic.  Musically, all the members of the band play on this album some of their best playing and innovation ever. This album is also heavily influenced by their new found interest in Indian culture. Again, this is one of my favorite albums of all-time.     Rhett Taylor

Neu! - Negativland

                   
was a German krautrock band formed by Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother after their split from Kraftwerk in the early 1970s. Though Neu! had minimal commercial success during its existence, the band is retrospectively considered one of the founding fathers of krautrock and a significant influence on artists....(WIKIPEDIA). An Amazing Song . One of my Favorites.

Miles Davis Live Evil 1971
