When I tell people I can't stand most modern singers because they all sound alike, and they say "what do you mean?" I'll have to play them some good ol' Etta James. Her voice isn't just outstanding, it's what makes music worth recording in the first place. There are SO MANY resources being wasted on shitty music these days, someone really should call the environmental management folks and put a stop to it.
A great album for listening while cooking with lots of messy ingredients. Not so much for driving.
Here's your driving music, your singing- in- the- shower music, your cleaning music, your anything music. Ella Fitzgerald is another one of those rare and amazing voices that you can't help but love.
Yes, I'm trying to collect all the chanting monk CDs. It's wonderful soothing music for when I have the lights off and the candles and fountain on and I can actually breathe comfortably- for twenty seconds before Matt and his entourage show up and take over the living room with their video games.
What can one say to Miles Davis but, "Hell Yeah!" Solo brass is the only way I really like it, granted it's good and not a fanfare or army bugler. You want an army to wake up? Get Miles Davis out there with a REAL horn, and you'll have the troops jazz- dancing all the way to drills.
This week's "Meh" (no real losers this time):
They're okay. There are a couple of good songs. Kids like it better than me. Mostly there isn't enough interesting note choice to keep my attention.
Where's all the Marty Friedman in these libraries, anyway??
