Steely Dan, "Aja". An old vinyl copy; I really should buy the CD. Fantastic
album.

It's definitely an amazing piece of work. I think there are several
other Steely Dan albums I prefer, but "Aja" is perhaps the "Steely Dan-iest"
they ever got -- their obsessive studio perfectionism reaches a sort of
climax on that album..

Piano and flugelhorn does sound interesting, and "Tam Lin" is one of my
favorite tunes. Do you know if that version of the tune's been released
publicly, or should I beg for a copy of your copy?

I do know that "Tam Lin" appears on Bill Jones' newest CD, PANCHPURAN, but
I don't own it, yet, and can't say if the recorded arrangement is the same
piano and flugelhorn that she uses on the live performance. Several reviewers
have spoken about her version of the song, and I've read that the arrangement
on the CD is for string quartet and "sparse piano." It's worth mentioning that
she's written an entirely new tune for the words, as well.
I certainly don't mind sharing, and won't make you beg. In fact, I've already
made a copy for krj; another copy won't be a problem.

I could tell you about the studio performance if the living room hadn't
eaten the bleeping CD. Bill's PANCHPURAN has been picked up for
US domestic release -- on Compass Records, I think -- so there should
be some used promo copies around.

"a new tune for the words" -- Ah, so this is the ballad called 'Tam Lin,' not
the fiddle tune. Ah well. Still interested, though.

resp:77 :: boy, do I feel dumb. I was looking at Steeleye Span's album
TIME tonight, and the ending part of "The Old Maid in the Garrett"
is an instrumental tune named "Tam Lin."

Yep. That's the one. It's getting pretty common as a contra dance tune.

The Monkees, "Greatest Hits," the 1995 package from Rhino.
I'd wanted copies of the songs "Last Train to Clarksville" and "Stepping
Stone" for years, and then yesterday at dinner the muzak was playing
"I'm A Believer," so we decided that it was time to get a good
Monkees anthology.

re #83: I'd never thought of the Marketts' (two 't's) "Out of Limits"
as a Hallowe'en song, but I suppose one could stretch, given its obvious
Twilight Zone inspiration..

It came on a Halloween compilation I got. Yes, loose association.
Kay Starr's version of "Headless Horseman" is playing now. I think it
is the same tune Bing Crosby sang in Disney's "Legend of Sleepy Hollow".

Okay, so I've been listening to this cd almost non-stop for the past couple
of weeks...I *REALLY* like it. :)

Early 20th century recordings by soprano Emmy Destinn. Curiously, this
is the second Czech CD in three months which is warped and won't play in
the "vertical" CD player in the bedroom stereo, but it plays fine
in the "horizontal" player in the main stereo.

Camper Van Beethoven, "Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart."
They just don't make rock albums like this any more, *sniff*.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of Emmylou Harris, particularly
several more recent albums ("Wrecking Ball", "Spyboy", and "Red Dirt Girl",
all courtesy of the King County Library..) Although it's probably the
weakest of those three albums, I've been listening to two tracks from
"Spyboy" over and over: "Tulsa Queen" and "My Songbird"..
I was interested enough in "My Songbird" to use the All Music Guide
(always deserving of a plug: http://www.allmusic.com ) to track down
its origins. It's apparently the work of a guy named Jesse Winchester,
who was apparently an up-and-coming folkie in the 60s until he fled to
Canada to avoid being sent to Vietnam. For several reasons this seems
to have dealt a death-blow to his career -- at any rate he was forgotten
enough that I'd never heard of him. Does anyone more familiar with the
music of that era remember anything about him or have any opinions about
his music? "My Songbird" is a heartbreaking song, at least as Emmylou
performs it..
