It's been a quite week.
Woodstock, Joni Mitchell, Ladies of the Canyon — I'm not against Joni Mitchell, and while I was listening to this album I marked on Spotify to follow her. But in terms of music to enliven a tab room and with which to sing along on the ride home, she just isn't working the right side of the road. But if you're going to have CSN&Y do it on the playlist, JM ought to have her shot at it too.
Available Space, Ry Cooder, Ry Cooder — Yes, slide guitar. I am a sucker for slide guitar. This album is pretty good, but I only found one song to add to the playlist. But this is very early in Cooder's career, and the first of his albums I'm audited. There's plenty more opportunities to come.
Born to Rock and Roll, So Long & Circle Song, Roger McGuinn, Roger McGuinn and Band — I was always a Byrds fan, and I saw McGuinn once or twice in his early post-flight days. He's another of those musicians I simply can't assume I won't find anything. He deserves my respect, and I'm happy to give it. This time out, there were three cuts. Not bad.
