From the Walkman:

caddymanAs done from time-to-time, six songs played at random by my Network Walkman:
The doubters out there should note that not a single one of these pieces is a prog arrangement, though the last one started life in that genre before Ian Wallace and chums launched into it.
Stay Up Late: Talking Heads – classic New Wave goodness
Help Me: Joan Osborne – surprisingly bluesy number from one-hit wonder. This was not the hit (points if you can remember what it was without Googling).
Two Young Lovers (live): Dire Straits – straight forward Rock’n’Roll by now unfashionable 80s masters. Featuring the sublime Mel Collins on Sax.
First Breath: Richard Thompson - taken from his incredible The Old Kit Bag CD. The Times (I think) said that folk music is just not big enough for Richard Thompson. They were right.
Lost in Space: The Lighthouse Family - undemanding mellow pop tunefully sung, pretending to be contemporary soul.
Three of a Perfect Pair: The Crimson Jazz Trio - interesting jazz interpretation of (in my opinion) a lesser King Crimson track. Better than the sub-Talking Heads original, lacking the early Belew touch and all the better for it. Takes time to get into, but worth the effort.
The doubters out there should note that not a single one of these pieces is a prog arrangement, though the last one started life in that genre before Ian Wallace and chums launched into it.

As well as Joan of Arcadia...
Date: 2006-02-10 05:24 pm (UTC)I never knew what happened to her after that album (called "Relish" in case anyone cares), but I would like to... Wikipedia will be my friend. And it is, found this http://www.joanosborne.com/ and that she did have another album after "Relish" but that it was a critical failure, so oopSie!
Cheers, and by the way her version of "The Man in the Long Black Coat" can be found amongst other gems on Episode #1 of D'Oily Radio on the archive page...
Have a good weekend
