Bettye LaVette - No Time to Live
"Nightswimming" usually winds things down, but nicely opens the list up today. Graham Parker's solo set followed by The Belfast Cowboys on the bowling lawn on the roof of Brit's Pub in mid-July has been my favorite show for the last decade. Prince checks in from the fine "Parade" album. Los Straitjackets' "Rock en Español Vol. One" is a blast and Rosas's bandmate Louie Perez's liner notes are worth the price of admission. Unlike last week, there's a couple of tracks from this past year and the devastating "Leadville" is on my list of 2024 favorites. Denver's song was a hit for Peter Yarrow, who left us yesterday, and his bandmates. Some fun Jayhawks, surf guitar from The Ventures, and the bonus is a Traffic song from Bettye LaVette's excellent album of British rock covers.
We now return you to This Week's Discussion Question ("The Gulf of America? What the...?"), already in progress.
Please keep the discussion civil and do not wander off into "Greenland? What the...?"
Discuss.
