Keith was probably taking the piss when he extended the offer to jam with “Robert Johnson”

calstars, Sunday, 1 December 2019 03:28 (six years ago)

Hey jimmy cliff , let me tell you this story

calstars, Sunday, 1 December 2019 03:29 (six years ago)

He shreds, on this album at least, in a manner somewhat reminiscent of upthread Kevin Ayers right hand man Ollie Halsall.

Robert Johnson and Moon Martin: same person?

I'm sure Bobby J. had heard quite a bit about him going down to the crossroads on a daily/hourly basis.

"Don't know who's going to rip off who."

Ha, forgot about that.

Mick Fleetwood's Zoo: I'm Not Me

a bevy of supermodels, musicians and Lena Dunham (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 5 December 2019 21:44 (six years ago)

Oh man I looooooved "I'll Be Waiting" when it came out, and had completely forgotten about it in the intervening years. It reminds me of "Do Anything You Wanna Do" by Eddie and the Hot Rods. Both songs make me immediately want to do the pogo.

A breezy pop-rock feel fairly typical of the mid-'80s (Dan Peterson), Thursday, 5 December 2019 22:04 (six years ago)

I need to rebuy that Robert Johnson LP posthaste, I don't have it anymore.

I'm Not Me is spot on: a solo-album-for-the-sake-of-it; horrible nothing title, horrible half-arsed cover.

Entwistle fired him after a US tour because Johnson kept doing Townshend stage moves during Ox shows.

The Beat Daddys - No, We Ain't From Clarksdale

Wee Bloabby (NickB), Wednesday, 11 December 2019 07:01 (six years ago)

Wow, that's one ugly album cover! It doesn't look like it's from the '70s tho, based on the design?

Tuomas, Wednesday, 11 December 2019 07:35 (six years ago)

1992 iirc but in their hearts it's always 1973

Wee Bloabby (NickB), Wednesday, 11 December 2019 09:20 (six years ago)

^^Having seen them twice at festival things, I can assure you that's true. Also: Their lead singer is ten feet tall & a yard wide.

Mick Moloney - Strings Attached

britain's secret sauce (seandalai), Monday, 16 December 2019 15:48 (six years ago)

Another idea for one:

Album title is "Punching In"

Lead singer or artist is punching a hole in the wall next to one of those old factory timeclocks.

... any excuse to re-post this old favourite of mine.

Lee Ann Womack: There's More Where That Came From

I think country LP titles work on a whole different economy to the core of this thread.

Tim, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 21:33 (six years ago)

They're (almost) always named after a song on the album.

Travers & Appice - It Takes A Lot Of Balls

Extraordinary.

Frozen Mug (Tom D.), Wednesday, 8 January 2020 18:28 (six years ago)

YES

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Wednesday, 8 January 2020 18:46 (six years ago)

In addition to the extraordinary graphic design and typography, and the horrible pun, and the gratuitous half naked lady, I'm trying to figure out what is actually being done with the balls on that cover that "takes a lot of balls."

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Wednesday, 8 January 2020 18:48 (six years ago)

all those things you list "take a lot of balls" IMO

Captain ACAB (Neil S), Wednesday, 8 January 2020 18:49 (six years ago)

you need a lot of balls to drop that many balls

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 8 January 2020 18:51 (six years ago)

that's one of the best in months
the fact that it's Travers and Appice makes it perfect

This was seemingly also issued as "The Balls Album"
