psychedelic guitar workk outs like a cleaner version of the ballroom sound by Dave Aklvin of the Blasters and friends from Camper Van Beethoven and places.
I think it's quite effective. NIce versions of Fred Neil's Dolphins the 13FE's Reverberation and Morning Dew which I think may owe quite a bit to the Dead, though haven't listened to their first lp in ages. certainly hasa couple of bits on it that sound like Garcia guitar phrasing.
Starts with a cover of Alice Coltrane's Journey in Sachidananda which is nice and my version has 3 takes on the Paul Butterfield band's East West which i think are about 17 minutes each.I think the lp version and the first bonus track sound a bit different so wonder if mix refers to the same take or not.
Also not really heard if this is a one off or a continual project, will be interesting to hear what this develops into if they stick with it.

I liked the Marsette watts, though I got it because Sonny Sharrock's on it, but before he knew how to do as much as he did later---no slide, for one big thing. Still, he's a good team player in the land of the free jazz.
Didn't know about Third Mind bonus tracks! Stevo, you might like some of the other xpost2020 adds to his bandcamp, maybe especially Songs From An Old Guitar, which can be a lot more electric than the title suggests.

Another contributor to xpost Kaleidoscope creates another Rolling Jazz trip for meee:

Correction! I should have magnified the Watts cover--what I've got, with Sharrock, is his first album, on ESP. As it says here:
Watts decided to focus on music in 1965 and, after a studying for awhile in Denmark, recorded Marzette Watts And Company for ESP-Disk' in December 1966. This first album came together under the supervision of Clifford Thornton and also featured Byard Lancaster and Sonny Sharrock. After more time in Europe, The Marzette Watts Ensemble was recorded in 1969. Produced by Bill Dixon for Savoy, it turned out to be the saxophonist’s final release. That's from a previously unpublished interview, lots of historical detail:

The original Bolick Brothers?

unless there are some other bolick brothers i'm unaware of! that collection does a nice job of covering the 1936-50 years.

I was making a 'joke' about these chancers:

somehow they have never crossed my path! now some other brothers:

This is a good Delmore Bros collection---when they get tared of farming on Sand Mountain, which is hard by the looks of it; I've been there---they jump on that "Freight Train Boogie"---adapting to changing times, the country thing for always:

Kinda weird mix of dark synthy wave stuff and a little noirish garage rock from the singer of Lorelle Meets the Obsolete. Listening in anticipation of DLing the new one, which is weirder and more synth heavy.

xpost thanks for the tip re: that Lomahongva album, massaman gai!

Was happy to see that the group also features Stian Westerhus, one of my fave contempo pedal-clicking guitarists...

fripp, eno, and crazy horse on the legendary night when fripp completely lost his mind in frustration

That IS an odd pairing.

I'm a couple fingers into a pint of Evan Williams and listening to a mix of Disentigration, Ghost in the Machine, Grace Under Pressure & The Principle of Moments. It all fits together well and sounding pretty good at moment.

oh right, does Eno go onto working with the Winkies as an ersatz Crazy Horse then?

nah the summer 1975 Fripp/Eno gigs were after the called-off Winkies tour and the collapsed lung, this is 2 CDs of a monstrous Fripp/Eno gig playing versions of No Pussyfooting and Evening Star tracks, and then one whole bonus CD of pure Eno backing loops.

Sudanese guitar player playing music taht sounds like an earlier version of the Ethiopiques sound. A cross between indigenous traditional sounds and Western pop. ITs interesting to hear the way the curlicues of teh Sudanese sound seems to coincide with what sounds like Western twist so I haven't woirke dout which it is at any point.
Quit enjoyable but pretty short at about 36 minutes.
Great anyway

this (Sharhabil Ahmed - King of Sudanese Jazz) is boss, thank you

Duke Ellington - "Chelsea Bridge"

xp seconding, the Sharhabil Ahmed is tight as hell thanks

machine drum - half the battle 1

I typically struggle with keeping up with new music, but whether they're all keepers or not there have been a lot of albums released in the last couple months that I've enjoyed. Hayley Williams, Cut Copy, Secret Machines, Kathleen Edwards, Jessie Ware, even that new Killers. Probably some other stuff I have already forgotten about as well, but that's more my problem than their problem.
