The mistake was that I liked So very much, so much so (pun) that I went
out and bought every solo album that the record store had. I probably didn't give
them enough time to grow on me. And they were on cassette tape, so they are
packed up somewhere. Only Mr. Marbles knows for sure.

And to think, I haven't even told my greatest and most personal

of March? One of my favorites ever.

Oh one last thing - David have you picked up "I Am Shelby Lynne" or
"Just A Little Lovin'" yet???

Speaking of Neil Young... I am in utter awe of Jimmy Fallon's imitation of him. It wouldn't be so gosh-darn funny if it wasn't so incredibly spot-on:

Aw, that sucks. I haven't heard anything from it yet. Was hoping it'd at least be interesting.

And I think that's the first time in a very long time that I found Jimmy Fallon funny.

Jesus - that Neil Young impression is really quite creepy! So good.

Sade SOLDIER OF LOVE. I believe this is her first
album since 2000's "Lover's Rock". She never fails to
deliver (hint, hint). Due Febuary 9, 2010.

3 weeks at #1 on Billboard. "I" was right again.

Here's the new and re-releases (upgrades) I'll be sure
to get.

Linda Ronstadt SIMPLE DREAMS 1977 released
on the Mobile Fidelity label Gold CD. This will be
the ultimate way to listen to this classic album. Due
March 9, 2010.

Finally picked this release up. The first Mobile Fidelity CD
I've bought in a long time, expensive..yes..worth it...yes.
I think it's Linda's best album. Anytime an artist can out do Buddy
Holly, The Rolling Stones and Roy Orbison on their own material,
well it just begs to be heard.

Surprised there wasn't more tape noise. I wonder what kind of
tricks Shawn R. Britton used during the remastering process?
The sound is really good. The guitar sounds great on the song
"Maybe I'm Right" (written by Robert Wachtel). Sounds
like a good guitar should, if you know what I mean. Val Garay
and Mark Howlett could be proud of this if it were recorded today.

One more to look forward to:

Robert Cray - Cookin' In Mobile CD/DVD release date July 27, 2010.
Sent some of my people to this show and it was a good one. I win again!!!

I saw Shelby open for kd lang, and walked away a big fan. I like Shelby's voice a lot, but what might not be as well known as her good singing chops are, is that Shelby's really a great 'performer'-- she was in some kind of 'female Elvis' vibe the night I saw her, and I felt fortunate to get personalized attention of sorts from her during a few songs, she makes contact with her audience for sure- There's no 'glass wall', which really separates the 'stars' who have every mili-second pre-planned from an artist who likes to perform. I'd see Shelby again, for sure.
As for Jimmy Fallon, I like him, but have this observation: dating back to his SNL days, he would often do uncanny imitations (one of the Bee Gees) and of other 'name' performers, even finding it necessary to take on the lameness of the long-ago 'You're Getting A Dell, Dude" non-name commercial actor. He was right, but there went Dell's advertising campaign and one hapless commercial actor forever since out of work!
It's like before Fallon had made a success of himself at anything original, he was always quick to point out flaws of others in the business. Jimmy's"imitations"-- while spot-on, were rather mean-spirited and he had no real body of work of his own to take on certain established stars he went 'after' -- he was a little too sure of his ability to be a wise-ass, and then he rather fell on his face as a motion picture actor, which may have been karma. Jimmy still is a funny guy and has it all over Conan, as TBS likely will soon-enough find out.
Leno may have been nefarious in how he got the show back, but Conan was pathetic as host, despite those who claim to have supported him, he sucked, and so did his ratings. I doubt he'll deliver for TBS either.
So, now Jimmy Fallon's had to start-over again in television on the graveyard shift, and I've seen his show and liked it.
I'd heard that Fallon's SNL departure was a power-play, they'd actually counted on that he'd stay another season, so maybe he was unable to return to SNL after movies didn't quite work out-- at all for him??
Neil Young is so respected and such a genius that I bet Jimmy isn't quite as cocky as during his SNL days, but who knows, maybe he is! I'll have to click on it. Either way, Neil can probably take a joke.

Indeed. And she is a big Elvis fan, I've heard her talk about it.
Only one place a voice like that can come from.....Dixie Land.

Sheryl Crow - 100 Miles From Memphis July 20, 2010.
I'd pretty much gave up on Ms. Crow after her last two albums.
But Doyle Bramhall II is producing this album, so that
gives me hope. And there's even a deluxe version available.
We shall see...........

Don't quote me, but I heard she's retiring from music.

John Mayer- Born and Raised

a LOT of people don't like him. I do. Continuum was one of my favorite albums of the past decade. So I always look forward to him. Killer live player too.

Keane- Strangeland

Another band Who i enjoy watching grow.

Mika- Origin of Love

This guy writes great pop tunes. Pure ear candy, IMO.

Not much else yet........we'll see though.

Mick
