You are very welcome

and yes, it tends to make creating a playlist a bit of a challenge some days - - doesn't hurt that I have a 30-something son whose tastes are just as eclectic as his mother's - only a bit more in touch with newer artists

although I just got John Lee Hooker and Nina Simone for Mother's Day Wink

Here's a taste of Nina Simone if not familiar with her - like Taylor she was a complete musician not just a singer - her take on a familiar song - she would have been about 35 when this footage was taken

I bought Beck's Odelay cd yesterday at Newbury Comics in Portland in the used bin. I love Devil's Haircut and New Pollution. I used to listen to this CD when I was just out of college as I had a friend that owned it and I haven't heard this music for quite some time. I listened to it on the way home.

My kids love the song "Where its at" but I think they just like the 2 turntables and microphone part lol. My 5yr old can sing most of Taylors album and they like to hear it in the car Roll Eyes

Im so proud!

You are lucky that your kids have such good taste in music.
I was fortunate to see John Lee Hooker shortly before he passed. What a cool guy. Van Morrison was supposed to be at the show -- a huge festival at Suffolk Downs near Boston, sponsored by Guinness and therefore having a vague Irish theme. We were bummed about Van, but there was enough other good stuff, we didn't notice, Richard Thompson and Eileen Ivers coming first to mind, having my cozy outdoor festival seat being transmogrified into a mosh pit I could have lived without..

More than I regret not seeing Van, I regret not seeing Van AND John Lee together.

Boy that would have been some show. Does anyone know Dave Howard and the High Rollers? They were a great blues band that used to play se mass and ri but now the lead singer is now with Roomfull of Blues. Way back they did an album with Pat Benetar and it was really great. I love her voice. Gonna go see if I can find it Smile

The Soul Truth
Shemekia Copeland

Shemekia Copeland has no patience with the wrong kind of men on "The Soul Truth" (Alligator). She doesn't just leave them; she tells them exactly why she's going, what they did wrong and how much better she's going to feel when she's back on her own. Ms. Copeland is the 26-year-old daughter of the bluesman Johnny Clyde Copeland, who grew up in Texas and moved to New York City, and she was born to belt. She has a big, bright voice with a switchblade rasp, and on "The Soul Truth" she finds the ideal settings for it.

Ms. Copeland has sung plenty of blues on previous albums, but "The Soul Truth" is unabashed 1960's soul. The album is produced by Steve Cropper, the guitarist and songwriter from the great Stax Records studio band in the 1960's. He collaborated on some of the songwriting, and his guitar is at the center of arrangements with a lean backbeat, rollicking piano (by Chuck Leavell from the Allman Brothers Band and the Rolling Stones) and an ever-alert horn section. Unlike many soul-revival productions, the album supplies her with songs worthy of the treatment.The melodies are chiseled and the lyrics are tough and funny: "Breakin' Out" compares divorce to a jailbreak, while in "All About You," which Ms. Copeland helped write, she realizes that "We're all through, because I could never love you as much as you do." Even when she's complaining about the state of the airwaves in "Who Stole My Radio?" - "I want passion, I want feeling/ I want to be rocked from the floor to the ceiling" - her terms are amorous and uncompromising.
