Art Garfunkel - Some Enchanted Evening

Garfunkel traverses the American Songbook with an album of over-produced, uninspired schlock. These disinterested performances could have been phoned in; this is elevator music for the 21st century.

Wow, listened to four Tull albums practically in a row today: Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung & Minstrel in the Gallery.

Cheers,

I'm on a Tull binge too, the period that started with "Thick as a Brick" & was rounded up on "Bursting Out". Most of this, I'm just discovering.

Maybe this is Kooper's finest record since the first Blood Sweat and Tears set.

Paul Gonsalves - Gettin' Together.

A most underrated Ellington sideman here fronting a stellar quintet - Nat Adderley, Wynton Kelly, Sam Jones and Jimmy Cobb.

It's been a real blast for me re-visiting Fog On The Tyne after almost (gulp) 40 years.

Watched A New Day Yesterday, the 25th anniversary Jehtro Tull DVD. Great fun!

I've been keeping the folk/rock thing going again today with:

Me too, the first four Bert Jansch albums, two Sandy Denny, Mary Hopkin in Welsh and Joan Baez's first two albums...

Is that one solo Mama Cass or is it with the rest of the Mamas and Papas as well?

bricon · Post by **bricon** » Sun Nov 14, 2010 7:37 am

Fergus: Dream a Little Dream of Me: The Music of Mama Cass Elliot is a (24 track) overview of Cass Elliott’s career. The selections predominantly cover Elliott’s post Mamas and Papas solo career although there are some Ms&Ps tracks as well as a couple of pre Ms&Ps tracks with The Big Three and The Mugwumps.

It’s a travesty that the two Cass Elliot solo LPs remain unavailable – I’m particularly interested in Bubblegum, Lemonade, Something for Mama, which has never been released on CD; although some tracks from that set do appear on this compilation.

She gave the most magnificent and dreamy rendition of that song. There will never be another like it.
