some random music stuff
I have been listening to a CD called "in my own time" by
Karen Dalton. Karen was in the New York folk scene in the early 60s.
She seems to have been shy, so didn't push herself. My crap review
of her singing is like a folk version of Billie Holiday. Her voice
is amazing.
I have also been listening to Bob Dylan 1966. This is a record of a
famous gig in Manchester. It is amazing, because you can hear the
audience slow hand clap the songs with electric guitars. This was the
time when Dylan went electric, much to the disgust of his folk
fans. Hadn't they heard of the Blues?
I have also been listening to a CD of songs produced by
Joe Meek. Joe was an infamous producer in the 60s. The
songs are great pop songs, but somehow some of them are
about suicide, bubble gum and sunshine.
