Everybody's Talkin'
Fitted Sweats (Free subscription) | 13/08/2008
A bit about the song, not written by, but performed very well by Harry Nilsson. Fred Neil wrote it. By the way, wikipedia says a young Bob Dylan played harmonica for Neil's Greenwich Village gigs at Cafe Wha?. This is one of those songs like "Jumpin' Jack Flash" or "Louie Louie" or even "Tainted Love" that everyone has heard 45,934,555 times and it subsequently becomes this abstraction whose meaning...

Electric Roulette (Free subscription) | 12/08/2008
Okay. I know you asked me... rather peevishly... to find you a great folk rocker (with a healthy dollop of psych) who touches the sound of Stephen Stills, Fred Neil and sumthin' a little mo' country. You also asked me,...

Troubador Tuesday -- Fred Neil
The Daily Docket (Free subscription) | 15/07/2008
I've been featuring troubadors, folk singers mainly so far, who influenced my talented folk singer friends. This week it's Fred Neil, a great songwriter and baritone vocalist whose work has wound up on the screen more often than most. Here's "Everybody's Talkin'": Here's one Sid Selvidge (who has the pipes to cover Fred Neil) likes, "The Dolphins": I think Sid may like Fred's "I've Got A

It's a voice that has inspired and electrified audiences from the Woodstock Music & Arts Fair in 1969, to the Clinton Presidential Inauguration in 1993 -coming...

You never heard Karen Dalton sing?
Electric Roulette (Free subscription) | 30/05/2008
Karen Dalton's got one of the best voice I ever did hear. Now, this don't mean histrionics or gutteral soul howls, but, more like a voice that you can't quite pin down. Is that the blues? Is that jazz? Do...

Late Google Health: catching up with the past, first!
Pimm - Partial immortalization (Free subscription) | 20/05/2008
People expect usually too much from Google even in the sectors, like biotechnology or medicine where Google is not native. For me the recent Google Health - which is basically an embryonic online medical health record system for users with a Gmail Account in the USA - seems to be rather about just catching up [...]

CD Review - Neil Diamond - Home Before Dark
Thumbrella - Words To A Void (Free subscription) | 17/05/2008
Disclosure: I got this CD for free Now, I'm not a Neil Diamond fan. Sure, I know his well known songs, and I even played a few in Franco's Office Bar, Edinburgh, a long long time ago. But the reason I accepted the offer of this CD to review was the involvement of producer Rick Rubin, who has done great work with Johnny Cash on his American Recordings series. And when I got the CD and saw from

Beginners guide to... Gram Parsons
Electric Roulette (Free subscription) | 29/04/2008
Why bother? Gram Parson's legacy is a blighted one. He invented country rock as we know it, which was then stolen and plundered by the likes of The Eagles and Poco. That doesn't mean you should dismiss him. Far from...
