On first listen, it seems like a nightmarish Bruce Springsteen song on piano. He'a distinctive for sure But is a nightmare Bruce Springsteen a good thing? I think the CD I picked up, Closing Time from 1973 was his first and I noticed the first song listed is Ol '55 which I believe was covered by The Eagles and made it a popular FM radio song. It's a good song. I'm not googling because I'm lazy today. I hate when people ask simple questions or make assumptions while sitting in front of a simple computer with the largest repository of human knowledge at their fingertips. But I'm lazy today Yes! I googled it for you. It was his first album.  |

Yes, picked up about 5 or so Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds CDs. Have not got to them yet but you'll know when I do Of the last batch of CDs I listened to, the one that really impressed me as a first time listener was Eric Clapton's 2005 release Back Home. Now, Clapton and I go way back to when Cream was still together and I loved everything he put out up through 1974's 461 Ocean Blvd. After that, his albums would have a few excellent cuts, a few decent ones and some throw aways. And as he got older he got more mellow and predictable. Slow Hand from 1977 and Journeyman from 1989 were outstanding exceptions. That is until I got tp Back Home. The sound is big. There are no classic blues retreads, they are all original or quite new songs. Steve Winwood and Billy Preston help out. Clapton is out front and ballsy. Seemed like he had something to prove to people with this release about by jove he did. Really liked it Now I just started listening to a new batch of 10 CDs and Clapton is in it again with his next release from 210 simply titled Clapton On first listening, it sounds like he went back to the old routine: nice, a bit laid back, safe, forgettable. Ah well I've seen Clapton in concert about 4 or 5 times and in fact he was the feature for the last concert I went to in Madison Square Garden about 2007 with The Robert Cray BandI haven't listened to much Clapton, I'm afraid. I'm ashamed to admit it, but it is true. But I will look into the albums you say are great. Which Nick Cave CDs did you pick up? I can let you know if I have any of them. All of the 70's Clapton albums that Ish mentioned are great places to start if your new to Clapton. I would also highly recommended Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek and The Dominoes from 1970. That is probably my favorite Clapton album ever. Another 80's album that is pretty good is Money and Cigarettes from 1983. Definitely start with his 70's output though. |

Sorting my records (the work of a lifetime since I'm not seing the end of it after almost two years!), and listening to a bunch of cool forgotten electronica from the lae 90ies (Bisk, Phoenecia, Low res, Mr Projectile...). Soon on the turntable, that new Patrick Cowley album of unreleased gay porn movies soundtracks. Patrick is mostly famous for producing most of Sylvester and Donna Summer's epic "I feel Love" long 12" version which I'm listening to right now.  |

clips of interviews with Tom. This is a shortened version of the one I originally saw, though, and I cannot seem to find the original.

This woman was brilliant. <3 I really like Nina Simone. One of 2 musicians that my mother owned on LPs when I was young and I wound up buying it when I became an adult. It was Nina's 2nd album I believe, live from a Greenwich Village nightclub. I picked up 2 of Nina's anthologies-she was a spectacular and highly political artist. The other album I really liked and remembered my mom playing often was the classic Harry Belafonte Live from Carnegie Hall Otherwise my mom would always play Frank Sinatra. She played him way too much |

Best known songs on this album includes Universal Soldier and Colours I *think* I have this one. This also reminds me that I need to pull out my Cat Stevens CDs and get them on my MP3 player. |

She played him way too much I need every everything Nina Simone has ever musically done. This woman had an emotional expression when she sang that I have not seen in too many other musicians. Her facial expressions just make me feel every word she sings. |
