Scott Ligon & Casey McDonough- Chicago, 9/8/14 (2014)- ****
(Great, close harmony set of covers from The Everlys & The Byrds to NRBQ and Roy Orbison, played to about 8 people at Schuba's in Chicago.)
The Kinks- Percy (1971)- ***1/2
The Tony Williams Lifetime- (Turn It Over): 1999 Bill Laswell Mix Translation (1970/1999)- ****
(Expanded and restored Laswell mix of the hard fusion classic that was delivered to Verve and then shelved once Universal's new regime took over. John McLaughlin, Jack Bruce, Larry Young & Williams go completely off the rails. It's HERE, if you dare!)
Joe Jackson- Fool (2019)- ****
Helene Smith- Sings Sweet Soul (1967)- ****
(If you hurry, you can snag an original vinyl copy of this super rare Miami soul gem for $6000.)
The Stranglers- La Folie (1981)- ***
Radio Stars- Songs For Swinging Lovers (1977)- ****
The Pretty Flowers- Never Felt Bitter (2026)- **1/2
(Power pop bands are the reason I no longer enjoy power pop. Maybe a future Burning Wood post. This record could be a hundred other records. I listened to five songs and had enough.)
Dr. John- Remedies (1970)- ****
(Underrated. Neglected. "Angola Anthem" is a trip!)
