Listening to Now In SACD Stereo (or Mono)

[cbmmm3]

Piano ? check Harmonica ? check Hammond B3 Organ ? check Harmonies ? check.
They just dont make music like this anymore. Crank it !

Never heard this album until now.
Knew the hits Echoes of Love and Little Darlin’ but that’s it.
The Michael McDonald songs do nothing for me. Patrick Simmons’ songs are better especially the killer title track. Tiran Porter’s spin is good too.
Overall this album reminds me why I lost interest in the Doobies at the time and missed Tom Johnston

Gene Clark - The Lost Studio Sessions

Fascinating release covering 18 years from early solo recordings to the Nyteflye sessions.
Sound is fine despite the various sources. Exhaustive 36 page booklet.

Leonard Bernstein [SONY/Single Layer Stereo SACD]

How's the Bernstein?

IMO, excellent Linda. Three lovely interpretations in lush orchestrations and sonics. I'm also a sucker for Grofé's Grand Canyon Suite.

[The Rang]

A very non Doobie-ish album.
Only one guitar solo, on many songs guitars were barely noticeable.
Other than Real Love was completely unfamiliar with anything.
Very democratic, every band member other than Tiran Porter has at least one songwriting credit and Cornelius Bumpus sings some lead.
At least Michael McDonald doesn’t dominate, which had me enjoying this album more than expected,

We can be together
Ah, you and me
We should be together . . .

A bit raw in places but good, definite signs of where they were headed musically

 

[The Rang]

Good album, didn’t realize it was recorded live before a small audience (a la Joe Jackson’s Big World).
Hope DV does more Weather Report SACDs
