My latest obsession has been the 70's albums of Renaissance, pigeonholed as prog-rock, but really a wonderful blend of classical and rock. Their stuff has always been able to generate goosebumps. Lead singer Annie Haslam has an incredible vocal range that just floats majestically atop the virtuoso piano work and the driving bass line.
They're from the UK, but had their greatest popularity in the I-95 corridor from Washington, DC, through Philadelphia, and on to New York. This is their signature song, an over-11-minute opus called "Ashes Are Burning". Take some time out of your day and give this a listen.
I'll have to look 'em up--I'm betting Qobuz probably has their albums available.My latest obsession has been the 70's albums of Renaissance, pigeonholed as prog-rock, but really a wonderful blend of classical and rock.

Skeeter Davis is in the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame. Inducted in 2013. I happened to be at the ceremony since I knew some of the other inductees. Here’s a link to her page there.I have a Facebook Page where we are trying to get Ms Davis inducted into the Country Music Hall Of Fame... I have voted on getting The Carpenters inducted into The Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame, I mean when they first came out, they were referred to as Rock artists...I mean if they can put rap artists in there, why not our duo?
I kind of discovered that one earlier this year myself, back when I was shuffling through some of Astrud's albums. It is kind of the runt of the litter--can't say it'd be in regular rotation here. But it's good for a few tracks to add to an Astrud playlist.Sort-of similar to something that happened to me last evening. I was going through some music and stumbled upon an album by Astrud Gilberto called I HAVEN'T GOT ANYTHING BETTER TO DO.
When I finally got the project car finished up and running, I was resetting the head unit and trying to remember how to advance through the albums on the USB flash drive. After advancing through a few, I came across a favorite that I hadn't played in a while.
Can't say I'm a huge Van Morrison fan, but this easygoing album goes down so nicely at the end of the day.
Dropping this earworm here for the night:
Indeed, and a lot of it is due to the arrangement. I regret not hearing of this band until just last year. (I'd seen the name but hadn't paid attention.) Their music just seems to get better the longer they've been together. And not many bands can pull off an accordion this easily either!Amazing what you can do with one chord, ain't it?
