#musicchallenge #musicsky
In order to achieve the band's musical goals, Tweedy invited Jim O'Rourke into the studio to mix "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart", and the results impressed the band members. Jim O'Rourke was officially in Wilco from that point. He recorded 6 of the 12 tracks on the album. O'Rourke was then asked to mix the rest of the album. After the album's completion, Tweedy decided to remove Bennett from the band. The album was completed in 2001, and Tweedy believed it to be ready for release. The album was given the title Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, referencing a series of letters in the phonetic alphabet that Tweedy had heard on the Irdial box set The Conet Project: Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations. A clip from this Numbers Station transmission was placed in the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot song "Poor Places"; Irdial later sued Wilco for copyright infringement, and a settlement was reached out of court. The cover of the album is a picture of the two Marina City complex towers in the band's adopted hometown of Chicago. Los Angeles photographer Sam Jones contacted Wilco in 2000 about producing a documentary film about the creation of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Jones shot over 80 hours of footage for I Am Trying to Break Your Heart: A Film About Wilco beginning on the day that Coomer was dismissed from the band. The footage was edited down to 92 minutes, and the film was released to theaters in 2002. The documentary has received generally positive reviews.

Dylan in PolkaDots, black and white Bob Dylan EP 6270 JUST LIKE TOM BALLAD OF THUMB'S BLUES BALLAD OF A MAN While some people who I contacted opined that the photo used for the EP was colorized, there were several contemporary reports mentioning that the polka-dot shirt was indeed green. When I reached Al Kooper, he confirmed that it was in fact green. But Al was cryptic in response to my question as to why Dylan was wearing the shirt in the afternoon but Al apparently had it on in the evening. “Maybe he borrowed it from me. Maybe I borrowed it from him. Maybe we both had the same shirt. Or maybe it was something else,” sez Al. The lime-green polka-dot shirt spontaneously floating from one musician to another fits into the whole spur-of-the-moment idea for the amplified Dylan concert. https://fredbals.medium.com/dylan-newport-65-the-search-for-the-green-polka-dot-shirt-1c689e74ce75 Bob Dylan and band playing electric at Newport https://fredbals.medium.com/dylan-newport-65-the-search-for-the-green-polka-dot-shirt-1c689e74ce75 Fuck them if they think they can keep electricity out of here.” Manager Albert Grossman and Dylan at Newport https://fredbals.medium.com/dylan-newport-65-the-search-for-the-green-polka-dot-shirt-1c689e74ce75

🎵 Across the Great Divide

#musicchallenge #musicsky
The album was originally released on September 22, 1969. A 1980 "Capitol 16000 Series" budget vinyl reissue of the album omitted "When You Awake" and "King Harvest (Has Surely Come)". After several reissues on vinyl, cassette tape, and compact disc, the album was remastered and re-released with bonus tracks in 2000, in a process overseen by Robertson. The Band was reissued in 2009 by Audio Fidelity as a limited edition gold CD. The reissue included a single B-side, "Get Up Jake", as a bonus track. "Get Up Jake", which also appears on the 2000 reissue, was slated for inclusion on the original album but was dropped from the lineup at the last minute, either because the band felt it was too similar to another track on the album or because there physically was not enough room on the album. It also was suggested that the underdeveloped status of the song made them decide against inclusion in the album. A reworked version of "Get Up Jake" was later included in many of the Band's live performances in the early 1970s and also on the 1972 live album Rock of Ages. In 2019, a 50th Anniversary Edition was released, with an entirely new stereo mix of the album by Bob Clearmountain, mastered by Bob Ludwig, as well as several outtake tracks and the Band's entire live set from the Woodstock festival. The original LP back cover quotes the opening lines from Shelton Brooks's 1917 composition "Darktown Strutters' Ball".

🎵 Boomerang

#musicchallenge #musicsky
Legend Review by Bruce Eder Poco's biggest-selling album of all time also presented the biggest personnel change at one time for the then-decade-old group, whose lineup had hardly been a model of stability up to that time. Co-founding drummer/singer George Grantham and longtime bassist/singer Timothy B. Schmit were both gone, the latter off to the Eagles. Listening to parts of this album, one gets the sense that, with the arrival of Charlie Harrison (bass, harmony vocals) and Steve Chapman (drums) in the group, Poco was deliberately adopting a change in sound similar to what the Eagles went through when Joe Walsh joined, into much harder rocking territory, at least part of the time. Longtime fans were probably disheartened to hear Rusty Young and Paul Cotton give up any semblance of their country roots on the opening track, "Boomerang," a bracing, heavy rock number (for this band) that didn't sound a great deal like the Poco of previous years. Most of the rest of the album, however, was closer to what one wanted and expected from this band -- "Spellbound" a beautifully lyrical ballad that benefited from Young's instrumental range and his and Cotton's harmonizing, and Cotton's "Barbados" offering similarly alluring musical textures with more of a beat. Cotton's "Heart of the Night," however, dominated everything around it, as one of the most finely crafted songs in the group's history, highlighted by a beautiful sax solo from Phil Kenzie. And then there's "Crazy Love" (composed by Rusty Young), with its soft, ethereal textures, which was a little lightweight for this band but unassuming enough to dominate the adult contemporary charts at the time. Young's "The Last Goodbye" and "Legend" closed out the album on a more thickly textured, higher-wattage note, representing the group's newer sound, the latter with a memorably driving beat that, with "Boomerang," bookended the album.

Richard Manuel: His Life and Music, from The Hawks and Bob Dylan to The Band by STEPHEN T. LEWIS Beak and his Revols were on the cutting edge of a blade not yet realized in popular music, and Richard was the catalyst. He was writing, arranging, and performing original music. While Richard's own voice wouldn't be heard on an official recording unil 1964, he would unleash it outside southern Ontario in due time. The Revols were a mature band regardless of their age and were making their own lud Little did John Till, Kenny Kalmusky, and Beak Manuel know that they would make lifelong careers out of these inaugural musical steps, forgins a protective brotherhood yet traveling divergent paths, often intersecting through friendship and their shared beginnings in the Rockin' Revols. "It was originally Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks from Arkansas. Levon was the original and we were all pickup. Every one of us led our own individual group."

Mirror Ball is the 23rd studio album by Canadian-American musician Neil Young, and features members of American rock band Pearl Jam. It was released on June 27, 1995, through Reprise Records. The album has been certified gold by the RIAA in the United States. A mirror ball graces the album's cover. Because of legal complications between their respective record companies, only Young's name appears on the album sleeve, although the members of Pearl Jam are credited individually in the album's liner notes. Pearl Jam's Merkin Ball complements the layout and content of the album packaging for Mirror Ball.
