The Beatles- Let It Be...Naked (2003)- ****
John Lennon- Walls & Bridges (1974)- ***1/2
Nilsson-Pussy Cats (1974)- ***1/2

(Finished Ian Leslie's "John & Paul:A Love Story In Songs" and fell into this binge. I can't say enough about that book. Over 65 years later and there is still more to be said about The Beatles. Read that book!)

Family- Bandstand (1972)- ***1/2

A music binge is so much more satisfying than a video binge because you usually know the material very well.

I listened to that Television gig last week and loved it. Heavy Weather and much of Weather Report’s catalog is worth the time, though I prefer their later albums over the early ones.

Two I enjoyed yesterday were Van’s Remembering Now and Alan Pasqua’s Milagro with Jack DeJohnette and Dave Holland. Paul Kelly’s Seventy is a solid set, though maybe not as strong as Fever Longing Still.

I second your recommendation of the book. It's excellent. And I've always loved Ram but always had a block on McCartney. Not any more. I fully embrace it! Go, Paul! I only wish John were here to try and outdo you.
