Makes me wanna put together a playlist of this type of thing - great music that is conscious, with an eye on some kind of societal awareness.trrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11840209409286594625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402985451299910936.post-49142119293541080192010-09-12T09:55:46.586-07:002010-09-12T09:55:46.586-07:00I love that ball of confusion video!

The Rascals and The Byrds are the two most underrated groups of the Sixties in that they were as good as anyone else but are largely forgotten.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10222703055177237209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402985451299910936.post-60073462116120757962010-09-10T09:33:10.462-07:002010-09-10T09:33:10.462-07:00I agree about Jack Johnson K.

I was recently graduated from high school, listened to the Rascals, The Band, Traffic and a bit of soul when I went to the performance. My musical tastes were...unformed.<br /><br />Never heard anything like it before and only rarely have forty years later.<br /><br />But I keep waiting.<br /><br />As far as underrated Miles I always go to Filles de Kilimanjaro. Sort of between the classic quintet and the electric Miles it contains some of the most beautiful music Miles ever recorded. Sometimes I just listen to Wayne. Sometimes Tony. The CD continues to astonish.Arthurstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083956773592540646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402985451299910936.post-84097621854891473282010-09-09T17:48:01.291-07:002010-09-09T17:48:01.291-07:00Great song.

It's true: 45s had cover art, too.<br /><br />Was there a more versatile group than The Temptations? They could move from this to Psychedelic Shack to My Girl to Ain't To Proud to Beg to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T7TgNdN8k8" rel="nofollow">Ol' Man River</a> without a missing a beat. <br /><br />Arthur, IMHO, Jack Johnson is <i>the</i> underrated Miles album. Much better than Bitches Brew, if you ask me.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10222703055177237209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402985451299910936.post-63379968532101102132010-09-09T16:25:55.014-07:002010-09-09T16:25:55.014-07:00Thank God for the Funk Brothers.

Miles had the incredible Michael Henderson on bass on those releases and that was some seriously funky s**t.<br /><br />Along with Babbitt and James Jamerson, Henderson supplied much of the oomph for scores of Motown hits.<br /><br />Jamerson provides, depending on what day of the week and my mood that day, the greatest bass intro ever on the Supreme's 'You Can't Hurry Love'.<br /><br />Genius.Arthurstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083956773592540646noreply@blogger.com
