INXS

Clevis - amalgamation

I wonder how long it will take to get here, considering I just got my dad to buy it for me.

OH! I lied, I've heard a lot of it - a friend played it for me back when it first came out.

I'm not a fan, but maybe someone who is would appreciate it...

Well, during some two months self-exile from PA (did me good, too), I've bought a lot of new music.

Some of it is even prog:

^ Good, bargain-priced 2 CD retrospective. I'm a late convert to the squeaky vocal charms of Mr. Lee, so this was a good place for me to start. Has almost all of the essential hits. Getting a lot of play in the car -- my wife likes it too.

They should have called it Gold Rush, though....

^ Some good, some not so good. (I'm hot and cold on these guys.) Good, bargain-priced way for the sometime fan to get their catchier hits, just the same.

^ Very good, of course, and another cheapo ($7.99). I had no Winwood on CD, and only one Traffic, so this was a good purchase. 11 classic tracks, 2 from Spencer Davis days (the rocking Gimmie Some Lovin' + I'm a Man), 1 from Blind Faith (the beautiful, moving and essential Can't Find My Way Home), and the rest are Traffic (no solo or 80s material). I was very pleased to see John Barleycorn, Dear Mr Fantasy and the epic, jazzy Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys (which I've long loved -- such a haunting, evocative opening, plus that sultry sax) included on here.

Nicely packaged, with several period photos and an informative little bio of the former child prodigy and stalwart keys master. A great deal! (As are many of the fine, extensive 20th Century Masters series in general -- I own perhaps 15 - 20.)

^ I'd read some favourable reviews of this nouveau folk album from a Mr Sam Beam, and the CD did not disappoint. Mellow, poetic, smart, dreamy, deep and very well done. Top-notch stuff, for the thinking fan of today's new folk. Musical beauty, with an undercurrent of disquietude & menace in the lyrics. My wife and (cool, 15 yr old) daughter like it too. A good find!

^ I fortuitously happened upon this late 60s original folk gem for FOUR dollars in a 2nd-hand CD store. I'd read of Drake & his tragic early demise, but never heard him. 40 years after this, his classic, widely revered & influential debut's recording, I finally get in on the act -- better late than never! Sad, lonely, classy -- my dear wife adores it too. You can bet I'll seek out his other two albums. Simply beautiful.
