@vienna/Otis Taylor-Rain So Hard
Wow! Thats one bluesy raga, or what you call it? Specially liked that wistful trumpet.

Interesting you used the word "raga" since that was the first idea that popped into my mind when I first heard Otis Taylor. Actually, in certain forms of Deep Southern Blues, particularly around the Delta into New Orleans, there is an almost raga/trance-like mood to the music. This probably stems from the roots of the Blues in slave laments and work songs that were structured to provide a sort of "soundtrack" for their labors. There is an excellent book by the late music critic Robert Palmer (not the singer of the same name) titled Deep Blues covering the evolution of the Blues forms that is well worth the read; there was also a documentary inspired by the book, also titled Deep Blues, financed by Dave Stewart of Eurythmics, with Stewart and Palmer filming some of the artists who are steeped in the old traditions; here is a YT link to a posting of the documentary (the segments with RL Burnside and Junior Kimbrough are particularly relevant to the "raga" analogy): Here is a bit of another artist who could deliver a mean bit of trance Blues: <O>

This is perhaps the most beautiful thing she did

^ Yes, my friend... I know that I've posted 'River' myself in the past, and you commented on it then, I think. Maybe you're right... a basic beauty exists in that song, whereas this version of 'Amelia' I posted is overtly produced (lovely, nonetheless). But 'River'... I'd forgotten how beautiful that is

Old age causes me to forget what I may have done in the past... ...and ennui makes me disinclined to do a look up of my previous postings; perhaps later when I'm offui... Pretty much anything Joni created has elements of beauty exceed what is found in most music, particularly nowadays. Speaking of Joni and overproduced, her song For Free has always bothered me: if the producer had just let Joni sing and play the piano solo and scrapped the cello and just maybe added in the solo clarinet at the end, I think it would have been a much better production... <O>

I am just about to listen to "For Free", vienna, but I'll say that while I was eating my scrambled eggs on toast just now I remembered what it was that you said before: "Eichhörnchen must be in love" or something like that
Well that's it, isn't it? Joni Mitchell's music was the soundtrack to our burgeoning youth and hopes of love
