Central Nervous System


Band was originally known as "Five Sounds" and included keyboardist Joe Sealy. They released two singles in 1965 and 1966 on Epic which charted on Halifax radio station CHNS. In 1968 the "Five Sounds" were the house band on CBC television's "Where It's At" (the local segment of the national series) which was hosted by Frank Cameron and produced in Halifax. In 1968 the band went to New York to record "I Could Have Danced All Night" album and changed name to "Central Nervous System" at the suggestion of Mark Joseph who worked at the Record Plant where the album was recorded. Album consisted of Billard and Jollimore penned originals and cover of Lonnie Mack's "Why" which was not listed on the album cover. Album was produced by Tom Wilson (Zappa, Dylan) and Eddie Kramer (Hendrix, Stones) was one of the engineers. Band split up in 1969 just before the album had a chance to try itself in the marketplace and dates were lined up to tour in the United States. Billard and White both went on to play in "Pepper Tree" at different times. Oakley switched to lead guitar and was a founding member of "Soma". Jollimore and Cassidy both went to Lighthouse.

Larry Jon Wilson


Larry Jon Wilson (October 7, 1940 – June 21, 2010) was an American country singer, guitarist and musician. He recorded "Through the Eyes of Little Children" and "I Betcha Heaven's on a Dirt Road". orn in Swainsboro, Georgia, Wilson picked up the guitar and taught himself how to play. In 1975, he released his debut album New Beginnings. Three more albums on the Monument record label imprint of CBS Records followed, Let Me Sing My Song to You (1976), Loose Change (1977), and The Sojourner (1979). 


Despite Wilson's accolades and fans, no hit record emerged. Wilson left the music industry in 1980. He returned in the late 1980s when other songwriters encouraged him to attend the Frank Brown International Songwriter's Festival in Perdido Key, Florida. He began touring again in 1989, and by 2003 still accepted occasional engagements. Wilson remained devoted to his music, rather than to the marketplace. Wilson appears in the documentary film Heartworn Highways recorded 1975–1976, where he is filmed recording the song "Ohoopee River Bottomland". In 2008, Sony BMG released a new Wilson album, after a thirty year hiatus from recording. In 2009, Drag City re-released the album in the US. 


Wilson died, following a stroke in June 2010, at the age of 69.

Harmonica Shah - The Detroit Sessions


Harmonica Shah (born Thaddeus Hall, March 31, 1946, Oakland, California) is an American Detroit and electric blues harmonicist and singer.[1][2] His playing was influenced by Junior Wells, Jimmy Reed, Little Walter, Lazy Lester, and Little Sonny. Born in California, Shah also spent time in Somerville, Texas, with his blues harmonica and guitar playing grandfather, Sam Dawson. Dawson had recorded for both Alan Lomax and Duke Records.His mother, a beautician, encouraged him to be a salesman for Jet magazine in the latter part of the 1950s. This allowed Shah access to Oakland's bars and clubs, where he heard musicians such as Lowell Fulson, Jimmy McCracklin, Juke Boy Bonner and Big Mama Thornton.


Shah told Living Blues magazine that his grandfather's passion for the blues inspired him. "Well see I picked it up from him, he'd be out in the fields singin' all that (sings in a slow moan) 'Tell me how long, whoa, tell me how long it's been since you've been away from home' Well, that's raw! That's a big damn difference from 'Good Golly Miss Molly'". He moved to Detroit in 1967, and worked for Ford Motors for fifteen years. Shah bought himself a cheap harmonica in 1976 and, while operating as a taxicab driver, Shah was introduced to local blues jam sessions. "Hell, that was it, no turning back then", Shah recalled.


He has toured across the United States, as well as in Europe, Russia, Japan and Australia. Closer to his roots, Shah still occasionally performs for free at John's Carpet House in East Detroit. He legally changed his birth name to Seward Shah.

Buddy Miles - Direto do Baú do Dead


21 DE JUN DE 2011

Buddy Miles "Roadrunner" (rare rip)

"Please note: This image is a general representation of the album cover, but the actual product may differ slightly in terms of color shading, logo placement, borders, or other small details. If the item offered is a used, second-hand item, please note that there may be some cosmetic differences as well."

Um dos ombudsmans desta alcatéia, o irmãozinho Celso Loos me acorda um dia gritando na porta da caverna:

"Dead que porra de disco é esse que nem na discografia do cara aparece?????"

Cara, como tem maluco nessa floresta....os caras nem dormem direito e ainda não deixam os que vivem mais a noite cochilar um pouco (apesar que já passava do meio dia eu acho, afinal lobos não usam relógio) e ainda por cima encanam com uma coisa que só na cabeça doida deles tem algum significado.

Mas vai que o camarada teve um sonho ou uma visão e tal, aí tem que ver qualé prq senão vc não tem mais sossego,rs.
E nessas peguei a encomenda, um papel riscado com um nome e uma observação que depois me enviaria o link!!!!!

Ai meu saquinho, como é dura a vida de um lobo sem juízo, mas ao mesmo tempo é isso que faz o sangue pulsar dentro das veias e a abertura é só pra chamar a atenção pra mais um do Buddy considerado obscuro, raro ou sei lá o quê e até a imagem do álbum tem observação e deixei como encontrei; obscuro.....é uma palavra bem interessante pra um cara como o Buddy não acham?

Tocou com os melhores, foi um dos melhores e ainda é reverenciado no mundo todo, mas as tais majors não soltam o material do cara, não dão e não emprestam e as que vendem é a preço de ouro sem nenhuma informação ou o que quer que o valha mostrando total desrespeito pelo artista e sua obra e por isso teimoso que sou (maluco que sou diria meu irmãozinho Raul,rs) insisto e tá aí mais um do Buddy Miles que não roda por aí prq só tem aqui,aí pai do céu ficar acordado dá nisso até rima quer inventar.

Baixem com fé e logo, aproveitem como se deve e se possível espalhem com rapidez prq a alcatéia adverte: "Este som faz muito bem pra alma", valeu Celso."Did not chart

Obscure album by Buddy Miles for the Tulsa-based T. Town label, released in 1977. After the synth-heavy 'More Miles Per Gallon', and the somewhat better 'Bicentennial Gathering' for Casablanca, this LP is a breathe of fresh air: low-fi production, raw and funky. Actually has some 'meep meeps' in the mix.

More to come on this rarity...

- "Roadrunner Stomp" b/w "I Love You More and More"

Jimmy Page and Robert Plant - No Quarter - Enjoy 2010!!!!

Antes que me crucifiquem, peguei sim um texto que achei o mais completo sobre este trabalho e como dizem: copiei e colei!!!
Falar o quê mais disso?

É o típico baixar e assistir, quem já viu que bem, eu tinha em video cassete e claro que perdi mofada em algum canto da minha vida e mais uma vez o Omar repôs meu estoque de shows, e com a ajuda primorosa do Poucosiso, aqui está em qualidade 100% de aúdio e vídeo este registro que considero talvez o melhor que os dois tenham conseguido alcançar, tudo devidamente nos seus lugares e harmônicamente perfeito.

Divirtam-se, enquanto durar o link prq subir vídeos é mais dificil que álbuns e dá no saco qdo caem logo, mas é a vida, estão caindo blogs inteiros, quem dirá um link,rs
Se algum dia entrarem aqui e não acharem o SM, não liguem, o blogger deletou, aí iremos pra outro lugar, mas só na hora e se ocorrer será dado um novo endereço através de amigos, senão derrubam os dois é claro,rs

Mas esperamos estar juntos ainda em 2010, aos bons e queridos sempre aquele bj que gosto de dar sim prq bj só se dá em quem se ama e um abraço de coração, deste lobo que vai ficando mais velho e mais emotivo; estas datas pra mim são meramente comerciais, mas tb são uma oportunidade de agradecer a todos que estiveram por aqui durante mais um ano, ajudando, criticando, elogiando, nos tornando melhores a cada dia.

Sejam felizes sempre.

(SEGUE O ÁLBUM, POIS O VÍDEO DANÇOU HÁ MUITO TEMPO)


Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



"Kashmir" was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.

In this age of unplugged it was inevitable that Led Zeppelin would return in some shape or form to reclaim a legacy which fused folky ...musings with harder leanings.
On NO QUARTER, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page are joined by a core group of musicians featuring the Cure's Porl Thompson, The London Metropolitan Orchestra, and a multitude of Middle Eastern musicians playing exotic instruments.

The result is a fascinating blend of Zeppelin classics and three new songs.
"Nobody's Fault But Mine" and "Friends" are given a slightly altered interpretation while the more recent "Yallah," "City Don't Cry," and "Wonderful One" revel in multicultural trappings. "Yallah" and "City Don't Cry" are both steeped in chanting in a foreign tongue while "Wonderful One" sounds like an outtake from HOUSES OF THE HOLY.

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page's world music approach casts a positive sheen on the remainder of this collection of Zeppelin songs which include exotic versions of "The Battle Of Evermore," "Gallows Pole," and "Kashmir."

Original Import pressing features a track not available on US Reissued Remastered version, 'Thank You'. The song, 'Yallah' as titled here on the original version was also renamed for the US reissues, 'The Truth Explodes'. This Import version also features the original artwork.

Tony McPhee, an Eccentric Man...


Tony McPhee was part of the first generation of young British blues disciples influenced by Cyril Davies and his band Blues Incorporated. 



Review by Bruce Eder
Now this is more like it -- Tony McPhee alone in his home studio with just his Yamaha FG180 on the first six tracks, doing whatever comes to mind. Mostly, as the title suggests, he plays some nimble slide guitar through some appropriately raspy-voiced renditions of "Reformed Man," "Mean Disposition," "Tell Me Baby," and the obviously autobiographical "Hooker & the Hogs." The other nine songs were cut solo by McPhee in concert during 1993, and he comes off even better there, his playing even more nimble and his singing far more expressive on songs like Son House's "Death Letter," Muddy Waters' "I Just Can't Be Satisfied," and Howlin' Wolf's "Down In the Bottom" and "No Place To Go," among others. The fidelity on the live stuff, cut with a Yamaha APX-6 in Vienna, is also excellent.



This is the definitive biography and discography of Tony McPhee, and the complete history of his legendary band The Groundhogs. Fully illustrated with several previously unpublished photographs, Eccentric Man is the authoritative account of one of the most important and influential British musicians of the last 50 years. A pioneer of rhythm and blues in the UK, McPhee learnt his craft in the 1960s backing major American blues artists (including John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed and Little Walter) during their British tours. McPhee was one of a small group of outstanding British guitarists that emerged during the formative years of rock music. He developed innovative and unique styles as a guitarist, but the factors that really set him apart were his technical knowledge of electronics, constant musical experimentation and groundbreaking recording and performing techniques. In the early 1970s Tony McPhee & The Groundhogs released two classic albums, Thank Christ For The Bomb and Split, that are acknowledged as milestones in the history of rock. At this time he was hailed as "the British Hendrix" and described by Sounds in 1974 as "the definitive rock guitarist". Today he is still recording and performing, and he is recognised as a major influence by numerous musicians, including Julian Cope, Captain Sensible, Karl Hyde, Stephen Malkmus, Mark E. Smith and the record producer Jack Endino.

ENJOY


UM FELIZ NATAL A TODOS

Joanne Shaw Taylor - A Blues Woman


Joanne Shaw Taylor (born 1986, England)[2] is a British blues guitarist and singer, who was discovered by Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics at the age of 16. The British music publication, Blues Matters!, called Taylor "the new face of the blues".



"The Dirty Truth marks Joanne Shaw Taylor’s fourth studio release and second time working with producer Jim Gaines (the first being on her studio debut some five years ago) with the goal of tapping into some of what drove White Sugar. The record plays out like what we’ve come to expect from Taylor – a heady combination of not-quite-aggressive and not-quite-mellow – but this one sounds a little closer to home for Taylor. Her songs just sort of flow off of the record naturally, almost as though they’d always been out there somewhere and Taylor merely uncovered them and made them accessible. 


“Natural” is a good term to describe The Dirty Truth and Joanne Shaw Taylor’s aesthetic in general. Everything Taylor does seems to have a certain inertia to it, as though one idea gives way to the next, and to the next, until The Dirty Truth is over and you’re reaching for the “repeat” button. Joanne Taylor says that she didn’t initially set out to be a singer, and that she had a lot of insecurity regarding her voice to overcome. Strangely enough, the most captivating part of Joanne Shaw Taylor’s sound is her rasped, soulful, and absolutely effortless vocal delivery. She sort of croons in a lower register, and it sounds as though it’s no more effort for Taylor than simply breathing. Maybe this is a major contributor to the natural sound of The Dirty Truth.



The blues scene has had its eyes on Joanna Shaw Taylor for a few years now, and with good reason. Her blues-gone-rock brand of music is incredibly cohesive, and Taylor does casually what most artists strive for."
