Late for the Sky: Piano/Vocal/Chords | Jackson Browne

#TuesdayTunes @tiedyedude

I came across Penny Nichols a few years ago when searching for versions of one of my favourite Nico songs, her cover of Jackson Browne's "These Days" from her "Chelsea Girl" album.
Penny released one album in the '60s, sang backup with a few big acts of the day, focusing on songwriting and vocal coaching for many years, with occasional album releases, this one in 2012 collecting some of Browne's songs.

Bookwomble Penny and Jackson were friends, and he duets on Song for Adam.
She has a beautiful, clear voice, the arrangements soft and mellow, blending folk-rock and country. Calming and blissful 😌

Faithfull: An Autobiography | Marianne Faithfull

pan

Autobiography by Marianne Faithfull - best known for a few hit songs & being Mick Jagger's girlfriend sometime in the 60s. Most people in this come across as insufferable bores who think they're erudite & witty because they're always stoned. Talking of insufferable bores - I've never gotten the hype about Dylan. Really can't see what the deal ever was. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf As for the book, the structure was all over the place & the writing style made it a chore to read for the most part. Faithfull really didn't come across well, definitely not a 'girl's girl' as she slept with anyone - including friends' boyfriends & made vague excuses as to why it wasn't a big deal. Also tended to say things without considering what she was actually saying & goes on as if the sex & drugs just happened, 1mo

OutsmartYourShelf rather than being choices on her part.

I don't have one of those personalities that is prone to addiction (except perhaps buying too many books) so I find it difficult to empathise when someone just keeps doing the same thing & wondering why their life is falling to pieces. The only person who comes out of this with any dignity intact is (ironically) Keith Richards. 2⭐

Bookwormjillk Great review 1mo

BkClubCare @Bookwormjillk - yes, fab review. I probably will skip this memoir. I actually own a book on Keith Richards but haven‘t yet been inspired to read it. 1mo

DieAReader 🥳🥳🥳 1mo

dabbe Re: Dylan ... 🎯♥️🎯 1mo

OutsmartYourShelf @Bookwormjillk Thank you 😊 1mo

OutsmartYourShelf @BkClubCare I have his book 'Life' in my TBR pile & after reading this, I'm probably a bit more enthused to read it tbh. I'd like to know his take on what went off. 1mo

OutsmartYourShelf @dabbe Glad I'm not the only one. There's always been this thing about him being a great songwriter etc, & I'm like “Huh?“ 1mo

dabbe @OutsmartYourShelf Plus, he wins a Nobel Prize for Literature for writing words I can't understand when he's singing them! 🤣 1mo

#tuesdaytunes @TieDyeDude

Listening to this one today. Love Brian Eno, and this one is so calming. Just what I need. 💛💚💛

Ambient 1: Music for Airports

TieDyeDude I just bought a pair of noise canceling headphones. I think this would be work great with them next time I travel 😋 Thanks for sharing! 3mo

JamieArc Ooh. Brian Eno! I especially love an album he did with David Byrne. 3mo

Suet624 I went through a run in my life where that was the only DVD I played. Now I just listen to it every now and again, but I‘m so excited that you posted about this. I‘m going to go turn that on right now. 3mo

Bookwomble @dabbe I love this album, too ? Ambient 4: On Land is a bit more mournful and evocative, which I like, and Discreet Music is a bit special. ? Have you heard the collaboration Eno did with Harold Budd, "The Pearl"? That's a gorgeous album. 3mo

Bookwomble @JamieArc My Life in the Bush of Ghosts 🌴👻🌴 Fantastic album, which prompted me to read Amos Tutuola's book from which they took album name though they said they'd never read it themselves, but just really liked the title! 3mo

JamieArc @Bookwomble Everything that Happens will Happen Today is the album I‘m talking about, but I‘ll check out My Life… too 🎶 3mo

dabbe @TieDyeDude I think you'll love it. 🧡💜💛 3mo

dabbe @JamieArc I heard that one years ago. I'll have to give it a listen again! 🧡💜💛 3mo

dabbe @Suet624 It just makes my heartbeat calm down. 🧡💜💛 3mo

dabbe @Bookwomble No, I haven't heart that one. I'll add it to my Eno playlist. Thanks! 🧡💜💛 3mo

Bookwomble @JamieArc Oh, I haven't heard that one! Thanks for putting it in my radar 😊 3mo
