August '22 - N&G VINYL SPINS CHALLENGE - Don’t tell @MikeH

22. Sarabande

Camaron con Paco de Lucia y tomatito "Como El Agua"
(1981 Phillips; 2019 reissue)
Not sure I have anything with a sarabande rhythm in my collection, or how to identify it, so I decided to play something with various Spanish styles that may or may not be related beyond country of origin... flamenco, tango, bolero, tarantos, alegrias.

Do you remember where you bought this one?

EDIT: Checked on Disco100 (where I bought La Leyenda del Tiempo) and they had it. Ordered!

20. A Case of You

The Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree

I know this is an odd album for the prompt, but it's the first one that popped into my head. This has to be in the running for my top ten most listened to albums of all time. The line "a girl named Cathy wants a little of my time" in This Year always makes me think of a very good friend of mine when we were teenagers named Cathy. We hung out all the time so everyone thought I had caught a bad case of her. But she was just a lot of fun to be friends with and I wasn't interested in anything more... mostly because I was hooking up with her best friend and she didn't know about it. Ah to be young and dumb and often drunk.

Various – Nonesuch Presents: Treasures Of The Baroque

I'd initially planned to play some Erik Satie, but I don't actually have any of his Sarabandes so, instead, I went with some unplayed Baroque from my Free Store score a few weeks back since Sarabandes were a popular form with the Baroque composers.

I probably spent more researching “Sarabande rhythm” than I should have. I even had my SO, whose a classically trained clarinetist and has a BA in Music, to try to explain it to me. I now know that it is a baroque classical style and is common is Latin dance, also the style features 3 beats per bar… and none of this actually helped in choosing an album. I decided to play this albums because it was a live release that was only made available in physical format and never released digitally which should make it harder for people to tell me that I am wrong at that it doesn’t contain any Sarabande rhythm (it still might, I just have no idea).
 
23. The Sky is Crying
Lonnie Johnson – The Blues Of Lonnie Johnson

Between "Flood Water Blues" and "New Falling Rain Blues" the sky is definitely crying in the blues of Lonnie Johnson. This record was part of a small lot I won off an auction site during peak pandemic. I was completely unfamiliar with Lonnie Johnson before but this one quickly became, and remains, my favourite of the small humble blues selection on our shelves.

We are going to be away from home for the rest of the month as of this afternoon, so I'll be switching to digital to finish off the month but will continue to play only stuff I have available to spin at home.

That stage looks fun!

Hope you have a good trip with the family!
