Late for the Sky: Piano/Vocal/Chords | Jackson Browne

#TuesdayTunes @tiedyedude

I came across Penny Nichols a few years ago when searching for versions of one of my favourite Nico songs, her cover of Jackson Browne's "These Days" from her "Chelsea Girl" album.
Penny released one album in the '60s, sang backup with a few big acts of the day, focusing on songwriting and vocal coaching for many years, with occasional album releases, this one in 2012 collecting some of Browne's songs.

Bookwomble Penny and Jackson were friends, and he duets on Song for Adam.
She has a beautiful, clear voice, the arrangements soft and mellow, blending folk-rock and country. Calming and blissful 😌

Faithfull: An Autobiography | Marianne Faithfull

pan

Autobiography by Marianne Faithfull - best known for a few hit songs & being Mick Jagger's girlfriend sometime in the 60s. Most people in this come across as insufferable bores who think they're erudite & witty because they're always stoned. Talking of insufferable bores - I've never gotten the hype about Dylan. Really can't see what the deal ever was. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf As for the book, the structure was all over the place & the writing style made it a chore to read for the most part. Faithfull really didn't come across well, definitely not a 'girl's girl' as she slept with anyone - including friends' boyfriends & made vague excuses as to why it wasn't a big deal. Also tended to say things without considering what she was actually saying & goes on as if the sex & drugs just happened, 1mo

OutsmartYourShelf rather than being choices on her part.

I don't have one of those personalities that is prone to addiction (except perhaps buying too many books) so I find it difficult to empathise when someone just keeps doing the same thing & wondering why their life is falling to pieces. The only person who comes out of this with any dignity intact is (ironically) Keith Richards. 2⭐

Bookwormjillk Great review 1mo

BkClubCare @Bookwormjillk - yes, fab review. I probably will skip this memoir. I actually own a book on Keith Richards but haven‘t yet been inspired to read it. 1mo

dabbe Re: Dylan ... 🎯♥️🎯 1mo

OutsmartYourShelf @Bookwormjillk Thank you 😊 4w

OutsmartYourShelf @BkClubCare I have his book 'Life' in my TBR pile & after reading this, I'm probably a bit more enthused to read it tbh. I'd like to know his take on what went off. 4w

OutsmartYourShelf @dabbe Glad I'm not the only one. There's always been this thing about him being a great songwriter etc, & I'm like “Huh?“ 4w

dabbe @OutsmartYourShelf Plus, he wins a Nobel Prize for Literature for writing words I can't understand when he's singing them! 🤣 4w

Brian Eno: His Music And The Vertical Color Of Sound | Eric Enno Tamm

#tuesdaytunes @TieDyeDude

Listening to this one today. Love Brian Eno, and this one is so calming. Just what I need. 💛💚💛

Ambient 1: Music for Airports

TieDyeDude I just bought a pair of noise canceling headphones. I think this would be work great with them next time I travel 😋 Thanks for sharing! 3mo

JamieArc Ooh. Brian Eno! I especially love an album he did with David Byrne. 3mo

Suet624 I went through a run in my life where that was the only DVD I played. Now I just listen to it every now and again, but I‘m so excited that you posted about this. I‘m going to go turn that on right now. 3mo

Bookwomble @dabbe I love this album, too ? Ambient 4: On Land is a bit more mournful and evocative, which I like, and Discreet Music is a bit special. ? Have you heard the collaboration Eno did with Harold Budd, "The Pearl"? That's a gorgeous album. 3mo

Bookwomble @JamieArc My Life in the Bush of Ghosts 🌴👻🌴 Fantastic album, which prompted me to read Amos Tutuola's book from which they took album name though they said they'd never read it themselves, but just really liked the title! 3mo

JamieArc @Bookwomble Everything that Happens will Happen Today is the album I‘m talking about, but I‘ll check out My Life… too 🎶 3mo

dabbe @TieDyeDude I think you'll love it. 🧡💜💛 3mo

dabbe @JamieArc I heard that one years ago. I'll have to give it a listen again! 🧡💜💛 3mo

dabbe @Suet624 It just makes my heartbeat calm down. 🧡💜💛 3mo

dabbe @Bookwomble No, I haven't heart that one. I'll add it to my Eno playlist. Thanks! 🧡💜💛 3mo

Bookwomble @JamieArc Oh, I haven't heard that one! Thanks for putting it in my radar 😊 3mo

TheBookHippie I liked this. Reading it brought back floods of memories from my younger years. I saw Ozzyfest (80s)in my late teens- life changing. We were going to go in 2016 but I got sick 😑. I adored watching his final concert. (edited) 3mo

Deblovestoread Hi Ashley, you can remove me from your tag list. I never got to this one. Maybe someday. 💙 3mo

AmyG I loved this book. You heard Ozzy‘s voice throughout. I only really listened to Black Sabbath, not his solo albums. And I found him so very endearing. How do you not like Ozzy? A decent but WILD guy. 3mo

peaKnit I enjoyed re-reading this one. I saw him in the early 90‘s with a group of guys, including now husband - our own concert club. His solo career started during my weird angsty middle school time, perfect timing. Crazy Train, Over the Mountain, Bark at the moon 🎼 3mo

I Am Ozzy | Ozzy Osbourne

I loved this show. It was brilliant. Ozzy didn't seem to have enjoyed it so much & I don't blame him. I couldn't do a reality show. I hate cameras.
Have y'all seen it? Any reality star dreams?

@BethM @AmyG @TheBookHippie @Deblovestoread @kelli7990 @AllDebooks @Jjaxn95 @peaKnit

TheBookHippie I caught it a few times. Not much TV in these years I was working a ton and raising my daughter. I could never and I don‘t generally enjoy reality TV. 3mo

AmyG We loved watching the show. My kids would auote lines from it all the time. Clean your room! “I don‘t have to, I‘m the Prince of Darkness”. 🤣🤣🤣 3mo

peaKnit My husband and I loved the show. We loved MTV reality - the real world. (Though a conservative cast member from my state is now head of transportation, what?!) Anyways, the show was fun and ridiculous. I didn‘t have kids yet, but I wish they could‘ve seen it with us lol! I always wondered the impact on Kelly and Jack though. @AmyG we still quote that line 🤣 3mo
