sunshine & sorella's

Just relaxed with a couple friendly to the customer mimosas plus the regular order at the best damn breakfast joint in the world, my beloved Sorella’s, and then found my way back home under blue skies and sunnysun listening to a few tunes. Seemed good enough to pass along.


Delaney and Bonnie - Get Ourselves Together [buy]

we’ve got to get ourselves together
take some time and talk it over
we’ve got to get ourselves together
try and understand one another






Bob Weir - Playin’ in the Band [buy]
One of the Dead’s (this is solo in name only) closest studio-captures of their live sound. No surprise as in ‘72 the dead were playing, at least to these ears, as adventurously as they ever would, while also bringing their improved post-Workingman’s/Beauty studio skills to the recording sessions. "Playing" would begin to take it’s place in ‘72 as one of the Dead’s main long distance live vehicles. You can hear why on this version, with the band rocking and rolling and tumbling while Jerry channels Bakersfield via San Francisco.



Dave Rawlings Machine - It’s too Easy [buy]
With maybe the exception of Michael Hurley's similarly generous of spirit Long Journey, recently I've come back to Dave Rawlings' debut album more than any other. It really is a special set of songs. If in boston ye be, get it live on june 5th at the paradise (hat tip to Josh). See you there. Sun!
