…and now for something completely different! 1420 - 2021

We have a first entry each day that is a picture or a video, and only in that entry you can place your music links and requests (NO ALBUMS RELEASED IN 2019 AND AFTER, AND A DAILY LIMIT OF 3 ALBUMS)! Please keep your language polite and respectful. All the rest official posts will only allow comments related to the official posts and such. That way it will keep things much more organized and tidy. Enjoy! RYP and Gyro1966

I am looking for Country Weather's reunion album - Makin' Music Again. This was released in 2002 or 2003, and I have been unable to locate a copy.

Country Weather was a San Francisco bay area band that was playing all the ballrooms, clubs, and parks during the late sixties, early seventies. If you are not familiar with them, here is the double LP set released in 2005:

(not my rip)

My favorite song is "Fly To New York". I saw them play this in the SF panhandle (a park), and had this song running through my head for years.

Doc MF Johnson

Just a follow up to your comments re "thanks".
I got no thanks at all for the Country Joe + Free things
I posted so count yourself lucky!

By the way, the Bickershaw Dead you posted - I had discounted the
1972 Europe stuff as pretty average but I might have to change that opinion.
I continually listen to the Bickershaw "China Cat Sunflower".
The fidelity is great and Jerry Garcia's playing is sublime.
You just get carried away listening to it's glory.
David Crosby has said that he was never able to tour
his masterpiece "If I Could Only Remember My Name" because it
was so much a Garcia album and it was impossible to find anyone who played like Garcia.

Thank you for introducing me to Country Weather. Astounds me that there was a band this good in SF in 69-71 that was this good, that I've never heard of.

From Denmark around the same time there was 'Youong Flowers' - Cream/ Hendrix influenced.
Very influenced.

Hi. My name is Siti and I was the singer, lead guitar and composer from Sísmicos, in Spain. Is very nice to see our cover "Do it again" in that gigantic list! If you're interested in, I can upload what we did as Sísmicos (an LP, an EP, and a couple of tracks for different comps) in File factory. Just let me know about it. Thanks!

Yes, recording to tape rather than directly digitizing has certain desirable musical characteristics (eg compression, distortion, and the color it adds, especially on drums and bass). Every step in between that is analog pays off. I was a bass player (now unfortunately I have arthritis and can barely play) and the sound you get with this intermediate step
for my taste it is superior, as it does not eliminate frequencies. Obviously you depend on the quality of the vinyl being minimally correct.
Thanks for the feedback

@Doc

That is an interesting observation: Transferring the audio from vinyl to tape first improves the overall sound. I wonder how much that depends on what technology you grew up with. My ears are totally trained to enjoy vinyl. My kids may feel different, they are used to Spotify and YouTube. BTW, my fingers also hurt. I practically have stopped playing the guitar (which has been part of my identity for decades). I still hope it's not something irreversible.

@ Susurrus

Many thanks for the ROCKSTEADY documentary - magnificent footage! Best, TC

Anonymous said...

It is something very curious. I was talking one day with an ENT (jazz drummer) about the way music is listened to today. He told me that the human ear has adapted over the last thirty years to avoid acoustic insults and is ceasing to perceive the lower frequencies. This is precisely what the analog recordings highlighted the most. If you can't hear something, why are you going to highlight it? Digitizing something analog without emphasizing those frequencies makes the sound flatter and they fix it by turning up the volume. If you remember the first AAD cd's,
the sound quality was embarrassing. I hope your ailment can be fixed. Thanks for the feedback

@W

I saw Country Weather live at a town hall in Manteca, CA in 1968 and they blew the doors of the place. First time I'd ever seen that head banging hair shaking thing that Status Quo made popular in the 70s.

They were the fastest band I ever saw live, until the Amboy Dukes but really until hard core punk in the 80s. After their show I talked to the band for a while and the drummer was really kind and generous with his time. As a 12 year old drummer he gave me a lot of advice. As a result I was a union musician and playing live by the time I was 13.

The next time I saw him he was playing with Steve Miller on the Joker album and for a few years after that as well. I'd moved to Columbus, Ohio by then and my next mentor was Bob Seger not too long after Ramblin' Gamblin; Man period. All these older guys kind of watched out over me and killed my fun a little bit.
