1/ Today is a special day.

On March 6th, 1937, the late, great Ben Keith was born.

Best known as pedal steel guitarist on numerous Neil Young projects spanning nearly 40 years, Ben's first claim to fame was playing pedal steel on Patsy Cline's hit "I Fall to Pieces" in 1961.

Probably my favorite, if not among my favorite Byrds albums. From the ambitious double album, half live, half studio, 'Untitled, Unissued', it's the live version of Dylan's "Positively 4th Street", feat. the amazing, inimitable Clarence White on lead guitar.

From 1971, Stewart, Woods, Lane, McLagen and Jones as Faces, with what I think is their best album, A Nod's as Good as a Wink... To a Blind Horse.

They rock as hard as The Stones, and love to party. It's track no. 1, "Miss Judy's Farm".

The late, great Sean Costello live from The Living Room, NYC, 2004, here's "The Battle's Over - But the War Goes On".

Easily some of the best live footage of Sean I've seen.

This is hilarious! I went to SkyStats, entered my bluesky address and chose the "brutal" option. What it gives you is a summary, part nice, but get to the bottom and you find they savage you.

Give it read and check yours out 😁

The first of 3 Muddy Waters' comeback albums with Muddy worshipper Johnny Winter producing and playing guitar. All 3 are excellent albums, BTW, but this is probably my favorite.

Here's "I Want to be Loved"

I'm a huge fan of Los Lobos and David Hidalgo's singing/songwriting/and guitar playing, so in honor, today's #BestSongHeardToday is Los Lobos' "One Time, One Night" from their most excellent 1987 album, By the Light of the Moon.

I love this album, and this song is so wistful, and the melencholy is so palpable. One of the best from his 'ditch trilogy', consisting of the albums Time Fades Away, On the Beach and Tonight's the Night.

Here's "Albuquerque".

I've been doing a deep dive into my Knopfler collection, and have been especially enjoying the ambitious double album, Privateering.

One gem, I thought I'd share is the smokey blues influenced "Hot Or What?".

Fabulous album, here’s my favourite from it. As you say, never showy, just plays the right number of notes on the right order.

I love Mark Knopfler albums because he's such a fine songsmith. Never flashy or pretentious, they're just well crafted and expertly played.

Here's "What It Is" from 2000's, Sailing to Philadelphia, featuring Mark's fine playing.

Neil Young, live at Farm Aid, September 21st, 2013, performing a moving performance of Phil Ochs' beautiful song, "Changes".

Nice monolog w/tribute to Phil prior to the beginning of the song at ~2:50.
