Listening now to this stereo/mono CD.

[Quad Linda]

Like jazz? Try this for a Native American fix: Jim Pepper's Pow Wow on Embryo LP and CD. Pepper sings and plays sax. Coryell & Cobham behind him. Original version of jazz classic Witchi-Tai-To covered by Oregon, Jan Garbarek, Brewer & Shipley & others, which Pepper wrote:



Don't forget Redbone, two Native American/Chicano brothers. Quad Message From a Drum and Wovoka 2ch not to be missed. "Come and Get Your Redbone" said Marie Laveau (Witch Queen of NOLA.)

Great, I will look into Pepper and Redbone is the best.
Could you imagine seeing them live wearing and dancing in there Native American clothing, cool man.

There are some clips and tv appearances of Redbone. Midnight Special, for one.

I only have two Redbone's, 4.0's. Message From A Drum and Beaded Dreams Through Turquoise Eyes.
I don't have any stereo CD's. Suggestions?

Yes. Depends on what you want, albums or compilations.

Here's my take on a few better ones. First, bought SQ of Beaded Dreams when released, later on CD. Never really hit me. Didn't care for Cycles on RCA either.

Message from a Drum NOT TO BE MISSED. Fantastic Quad mix & performance. IMHO, their best, Bought on Q8, SQ and UK CD. Q8 my most played, though I'll sacrifice discrete for SQ w/Ortofon MC.

Midnight Special clip of Come and Get Your Love w/Native Dance:


Wovoka has Come and Get Your Love and a bunch more KILLER tracks.
Wovoka was a real person. Wovoka, a Paiute (John Wilson, English name) Ghost/Spirit dance is real, too! Second movement of Ghost Dance followers was headed by Wovoka.



23rd & Mad, great deep track from Wovoka:



Other good albums:
Redbone (1st) 2 LP, 1 CD

Getting off to a good Monday start with Duane Allman.
An Anthology, Vol 1, Two Discs-1972
An Anthology, Vol 2, Two Discs-1974
Both released as CD's 1987. DR's average all 40 tracks 9.

 

[marpow]

This is a cool sounding CD release. Lynyrd Skynrd-Twenty, released 1997, which is refered to as Twenty Years since the plane crash.
For this album the band brought in two Southern rock veterans, Rickey Medlocke, who had been a drummer for the band briefly before forming Blackfoot, and Hughie Thomasson of the Outlaws. The track "Travelin' Man" is the first studio recording of a song from the original band's 1976 live album One More From The Road. Making use of modern technology, the band were able to use original singer Ronnie Van Zant's vocal tracks on parts of the song, in order to create a duet between Johnny and Ronnie. The Album Cover is a fictional drawing of Monument Valley on the Navajo reservation.
DR's are 7, 8's, 9's, 10.

Don't discount these Anthologies! Even if you're an Allmans completist, like me. Many of these tracks aren't Allmans. but Duane's appearances as a "studio musician." Muscle Shoals and other studios, etc.

Examples, including guesting on a few tracks:

Layla - Derek & Dominoes 2 5.1 mixes! ESSENTIAL!
Push Push - Herbie Mann Q8 only Quad ESSENTIAL jazz!
Christmas & the Beads of Sweat - Laura Nyro (Felix Cavilieri producer) GET IT!
.
Hourglass and Allman Joys (Allman Bros pre-Allmans)
Muscle Shoals Fame Studios/Rick Hall
Atlantic's Jerry Wexler produced projects (mostly at Muscle Shoals)
Wilson Pickett, Lulu, Delaney & Bonnie, Clarence Carter, King Curtis & more!

Not all of these are in either Anthology. I recommend all three albums at atop of list!!

Highly regarded and very accomplished. IMHO, STILL UNDERRATED. I'd be here for hours cataloging his appearances. People know him very well. If you are complete on Allmans, you only know part of his story.

Explore his studio & guest work. Most sound different from Allmans, yet you'll get a WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE on how good HE TRULY WAS!

Start w/the Antholgies & those three albums. He is on most of the first two and a small part of the Nyro album. Branch out from there if you're so inclined. If you truly dig him, you won't be sorry!

PS: Near complete on Skynyrd. We need to pick that one up!

 

[marpow]

I agree. I have all that you mentioned, but only the stereo CD of push Push.
I would also add Boz Scaggs as Duane again is on most of that album and all of The Swampers at Muscle Shoals Sound are on the Boz Scaggs.

I love Johnny-era Skynyrd. The first concert I took my son to was a Skynyrd show.

Scaggs album produced by Jann Wenner, too! also Legendary. Complete on Scaggs and Steve Miller, too. Both attended my alma mater, UW. Had a band called The Ardells w/Ben Sidran (RIP). I'm too young to have caught Ardells, but I have seen Scaggs, Miller and Sidran live, though not together. Although never in Steve Miller Band, Sidran guests on keys on a number of Miller albums, most notably Brave New World. IMHO, Miller's best.

Check out some of Sidran's live stuff, some w/Steve Miller. On Windham Hill, start w/On the Live Side w/Miller. Not really smooooth jazz, though relatively unknown & great. Windham Hill?? Really?

Jazz, but a bit beyond new age IMHO, Sidran's BEST record. Clip lists an album I've never heard of. There was a studio version released w/o Miller. This version DEFINITELY included in ON THE LIVE SIDE w/Miller. Clip is a video clip of that performance from MTV 2!! You know it as a popular track from Brave New World. Sidran turns it on his head, with Miller guesting!



Radically different arrangement. Duet w/Miller, trading lead vocals.
BET YOU WEREN'T READY FOR THAT!!,
