Nice to hear a critic say Babs still has it live, where it counts. I am a great fan of her singing, and hope we get treated to a video of that or like performance with a release soon. Her last album of duets was very good IMHO. It's in my truck memory along with some others of hers, and I always relish her voice when it comes up on rotation.

I've had Nana Mouskouri playing now for hours---thanks to Amazon Prime creating an instant free library for me---and your introduction! I can't thank you enough, I have no idea how she flew beneath my awareness this long.
As in her song "La Petite Rose" she sings of love being as a seed beneath the winter snow and only needs spring and the warmth of the sun to become a rose---I am blooming in the warm embrace of her voice.

Sharing on this thread is a joy to both. There is so much fine music undiscovered out there.

O.K., here's one I always enjoy when it comes up on my own rotation, Apache Indian's, Om Namah Shivaya, which is a strange blend of Hindu chant to a Reggae beat with even a Bible verse thrown in for good measure! The video is a distraction, but the music is enticing to me, because I love good Reggae despite the weird lyrics in most of it —

The singer is an Englishman of Indian extraction who always sings with a Jamacan accent often about themes from India. From where the Apache part comes is a mystery to me. Eclectic to the neath degree, I guess.

Interesting---that is the first rap sounding piece I have ever made it from front to back
Here is another possibly off the track piece----from an unlikely source. There is never an instrument in any of their offerings. I have to confess I "use" these sisters. While driving I seldom listen to anything other than the radio---but at times while sitting in traffic that seems never to move I will push the CD button and listen to one of their CD's---and quickly it seems not so important to get to where I was going
And I offer this for your thoughts as you listen: "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy." Ludwig van Beethoven

And we can never have enough Jazz.
And how could we talk Jazz without talking about Louis Armstrong.
And another from my cabaret days.

Taking off on YouTube from your Brubeck offering, I ran across this jazz interpretation of a favorite guitar concerto. It is spectacular jazz by suburb muscians. One of those wonderful surprise discoveries on YouTube worth a listen —

I am going to buy this for my play list as soon as I can find it.
On edit: I could only download the above by getting the entire album, whicj I did. Never having listened to Chet Baker, I am finding this a treat though. He has vibes in his band...I adore vibes. The name of the album is Jazz Moods — Cool: Chet Baker.

It is a tall order to beat smooth jazz!
Thanks to Amazon Prime I have a vast library of Chet Baker et al.
On occasion I reflect on how much I spent collecting music from that era--which included re-buying to move up to CD's----and now I get it for free---and they even store it for me

John D Loudermilk passes on.
This isn't exactly in my mainstream but there is a whole lot more going on here than might first appear. Listen to the instrumentals in the background---there is some complex arrangement going on here.John D. Loudermilk, a country singer and prolific songwriter whose dozens of hits in the 1960s and ’70s included “Tobacco Road” by the Nashville Teens, “Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye” by the Casinos and “Indian Reservation” by Paul Revere and the Raiders, died on Wednesday at his home in Christiana, Tenn. He was 82.

I remember John D. from my teen years "Abilene" being one of my favorites then...I liked all his music......Ben

I especially like music being preformed by artists that are obviously having fun and enjoying themselves.
This is a great example of that.

Nov 5, 1946 - Nov 19, 2018The other night I was searching the web for the song Whiskey Whiskey by Rita Coolidge and never did find it. I did run across this version by a Canadian girl that I really liked. I would still like to hear Rita's version to see how it compares to this one. If anyone knows where I could find Rita's version I would appreciate a heads up.
