Corrective for winter blahs:

LOTS of captions available!

Released 50 years ago this year, excellent album

And here's one from the first Kinks LP I ever bought, way back yonder (1966!):

What's this? Another Kpop fan on TTF, finally? Hurrah!

Now, I admit a weakness for the female side, as you can see by the posts I've been peppering our various music threads with -- IU, Taeyeon -- and Girl Groups -- Spica, and my fave girls, MAMAMOO! What can I say? So to balance things, a tiny bit, here's one from singer, songwriter, collaborator with, and mentor to, a lot of those girls, the late Jonghyun:

Greatly missed by many.

On a (somewhat) more upbeat note, the latest from Taeyeon:

This is my new favourite song... until he releases the next one:

Following on from my previous post, IU sang a song by her friend and collaborator Jonghyun, on the third anniversary of his death:

I didn't expect to find anyone else here! 🥳 I miss Jonghyun dearly - he was and still is one of my favorite artists. SHINee and SNSD were my first two kpop groups. And as far as I'm concerned, Taeyeon can do no wrong.

In a similarly sad, but beautiful vein...

I found this random band's first album on vinyl randomly at a thrift store one time and decided to buy it. Listening now, I really like it.

I missed this on December 30:

I wanna be sedated.

The first of four sessions on the DVD of Eric Clapton's 2004 awesome DVD / CD combination "Sessions for Robert J" (as in Johnson), on my Blu-ray player. Johnson was one of the top blues standards composers, together with Muddy Waters and Elmore James (and Howlin' Wolf, and John Lee Hooker, and ...) without whose songs bands like all of Clapton's, Allman Brothers, Foghat and others given to blues-rock would have had much less to work with, be it cover versions or as inspiration. Certainly not for everyone's musical taste, but the gravity center of mine.

Found these guys, they do good covers

GUYS??? I'm not that old, EA!!!
And it's definitely the same gal.
Funny how its seemed to be OK for the "chicks" (Baez, Mitchell, etc.) to strum along on acoustic guitars, while the "boys" wanted to keep the Strats and Gibsons for their own often pathetic antics. The only exception I can think of spontaneously (sans antics) is Bonnie Raitt. Got a couple of her albums from the 1970's, her 1971 self-titled debut, and 1977's "Sweet Forgiveness"; oh, and a 1995 live CD, "Road Tested". Oddly, Wiki claims this to be a double CD with 22 songs. Mine is a single CD with 16 songs.

More of The Kinks for me today

I had tickets to see Nick Mason when he was in Ohio in 2019 and unfortunately got the flu so couldn't go. I really like that they're playing the early Pink Floyd stuff, not the same things you hear on the radio all the time like Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and The Wall. A Saucerful of Secrets and Meddle are two of my favorite PF albums so it's great to hear some of these older songs getting some attention.
