Currently playing Don Henley's "Heart of the Matter" and I don't think I can finish it, too sensitive at the moment. It's an incredible album though. Mixing with Glen Frey, so hopefully something more upbeat will follow to bring me up.

I agree, a true box of treasures that I played throughout the 90s, and that still gets a monthly airing. When I saw the reformed Eagles in the UK a few years ago, I was thrilled to hear them do Heart of the Matter & New York Minute. His 10year later follow up album (where've we heard that before?) is almost as fine.
Don's sensitive and very subtle writing can move me like very few others. A magnificent American artist..

I've been the listening to the somewhat panned (in comparison to ''Maxinquaye'' at least) album ''Blowback'' by the artist and Kate fan Tricky. It is hailed for it's unlikely collaborations with the likes of: Alanis Morrisette Cyndi Lauper John Frusciante, Anthony Keadis, Flea etc... However the 2 best tracks had reggae vocals by Hawkman that were not properly appreciated by the critics. ''Over Me'' w/Amber Sunshower and - ''Diss''

So much from that time hasn't lasted, but this seemed to. I guess it can be that transcendent. New songs touch me at different times in my life. So, tonight, a great mix is spinning. As you can tell, I like to find inspired shuffles. Loreena McKennitt - The Book of Secrets Anne Dudley - The Songs From Victorious City Lisa Gerrard - The Mirror Pool You should really try it if you have some of these. ;D

That'll be "The End of the Innocence" then.. I agree, a true box of treasures... I'll second that emotion. But I know a place where we can go 'still untouched by man we'll sit and watch the clouds go by and the tall grass sway in the wind (great phrasing here) You can lay your head back on the ground and let your hair spill all around me offer up your best defense this is the end of the innocence. Zan' and Adey, these words, and the way they are delivered, break me up every time I hear them.

I saw Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea back in the 70s. It was more 'funk' from what I can remember - certainly Chick Corea was anyway. Lots of thumb slapping bass and to be honest a bit dull for my taste at the time. I do appreciate good musicians though as long as they don't get overly self absorbed and remember they have an audience who can doze if pushed. I've posted a link to Mike Keneally in "linkinpark"- you have to shop around for the piano work as he varies from heavy rock to beautiful ballads and is quite diverse. Worth a try I think. RA I posted a reply on another thread abot Mike Keneally. Search my last posts for the comments as they may have been buried. I misconstrued, however, your opinion of Chick Corea. I always prefered Weather Report to Return to Forever anyway, (especially the ''Jaco Years'')

How are things anyway? Thanks for asking, alright... depending on the day. Funny, that we all are touched by the same album and sentiments, aside from Kate. Like-mindedness, hmm?

Maybe not so much now Cathy, now she's established in her own right. But certainly when she first broke through and Little Earthquakes was released.
Singer/songwriter, intense performer, lady pianist, slighty quirky left of field style, red hair etc.. The similarities were striking.
