Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I'm listening to Paul McCartney's Ram this morning.
Recommended.
Bah. I've never heard of Ram - when did it come out?
Also, not available on iTunes or eMusic. No instant gratification for me!

It was his second solo album, after the self-titled one. So I think it came out around 1971.
It has the hit songs "Too Many People" and "Uncle Albert."
I'm listening to this obscure folk album by Maria Barton and it's freakin' gorgeous. (note the discreet "DL" under the track listing)
Recommended for any fans of Dar Williams and her ilk. Fantastic voice, pretty acoustic guitar and lovely, smart songs.
Incidentally that blog, Time Has Told Me, is an amazing resource for long OOP folks albums. Particularly early seventies stuff.
Oh, I don't know.
Thanks!
Am now listening to some band called The Rolling Stones. Beggars Banquet is the album. Huh. I have 17 Rolling Stone albums. I think Bowie is the only artist who I have more of. Maybe Robyn Hitchcock too.
The Rolling Stones
I think I remember them. They were big in the 80s, right?
I think so. Although the album I'm listening to came out in 1968. So they must have been toiling in obscurity for decades!
eta: See, now the singer is singing about doing a jigsaw puzzle. No wonder they weren't popular back then. (For the record, I gave that song four stars.)
Speaking of the Rolling Stones the outtakes and sessions for Let It Bleed are fantastic. They could do no wrong at that point.
Cool fanvid to the Stones "Sway" using early Marianne Faithfull footage.
Mick Taylor, great Stones guitarist or the Greatest Stones guitarist?
(That's him playing on the entire track except for some sloppy rhythm guitar from Mick.)
Am now listening to Ram. I'm pretty sure I haven't heard "Too Many People" since the early '70s. Huh. (Just thinking about music, memory and aging....)
