Track:All La Glory [Early Version #]
.......I was privilaged to spend a few hours with my granddaughter today. She's growing so fast it makes my heart ache. We talked of so many things....she's a most curious child & was a bundle of questions. She's my little Angel & i want her to stay just as she is......Foolish, huh? & then after she left i came into the house & turned on the music. This was the first song to pop up in t...

Garth Hudson's live six-minute organ intro to the Band's "Chest Fever"
-
Artist:
-
Album:Live Band
-
Track:
Born in 1937, "classically trained in piano, music theory, harmony and counterpoint" at the University of Western Ontario [so says Wikipedia], multi-instrumentalist Band member Garth Hudson would play a different organ intro to each live performance by the Band of their song "Chest Fever." The intro soon acquired its own name, "The Genetic Method." His inventive extemporizing on this piece wa...

Track:
".......they gave this poor boy his fortune and fame....Since that day he ain't been the same" Robbie Robertson's broad stroke sketch of the performing artist in general, (long rumored to be "about" Bob Dylan in particular) resonates a bit more today. The Death of Michael Jackson slams home the cold reality, the maddening certainty that the world has gone mad. Celebrities who once merely liv...

dermahrk says: We are being overtaken by the Pod People - the Mog Music Network. Bloggers who don't post tunes or videos, have nothing to say and say it endlessly, and don't interact. They suck.I have to agree. We seem to be overrun of late by self-aggrandizing links to posts of little or no interest. (to be fair, some of them are very interesting), but the point is.....I guess its becomi...

FLOATING DOWN THE AMAZON.....WITH THE BAND

Artist:
-
Album:
-
Track:
........This song will surely come as a revelation to some out there. A distant relative of Neil Young's Inca Queen...Amazon (River Of Dreams) is pretty unique in The Band's catalog, with a hot steamy atmospheric that is pleasantly organic. And Rick's vocal is sweet.

If you read "this":http://mog.com/deadmandeadman/blog_post/129379#write-comment you can catch pt 1During the legendary sessions at Big Pink The Band was searching for its own identity. Having toured for years as Ronnie Hawkin's Hawks, and then as Dylan's Band, they had chops aplenty, what they didn't have was an identifiable sound of their own.But with three strong voices and the skills of Rob...

Life is an endless series of decisions and consequences. Some believe their paths are pre-determined. Some believe they determine their own path.This track by The Band was recorded during the band's very troubled post-success period. The Rock Star lifestyle was taking it's toll, and the music, while still superior, was seen by many as a step backwards, or worse.Todd Rundgren, who produced thi...

THE THIRD MAN THEME

Album:
-
Track:
One of my all time favorite covers....an odd selection for a rock band to be sure, but The Band were never an ordinary rock band. This has a light feel at the surface...but it wouldn't be hard to hear this as a soundtrack to a Stephen King carnival story. Just give a listen....this is confident, imaginative, clever & very well played with a looseness that belies it's precision.
