Day 9 - Soul Sister

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme (Impulse Records, 1965 First Stereo Club Edition)

@Ginormousthumbs pre-empted my post! This is the first that came to mind and one which I have been playing a lot lately as I am re-reading the fantastic book, 'A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane's Signature Album', by Ashley Kahn.

The Acoustic Sounds reissue should be on my doorstep any day now. I hear the pressing is incredible.

Day 9: Religion

Growing up in Southern California in the 70's, our church had a definite hippie / laurel canyon influence. Along with the standard songs, the church band would also play less secular music - Turn, Turn, Turn by the Byrds, Jesus is Just Alright by the Doobie Brothers, and Teach Your Children by CSNY were all on regular rotation. So when I think of religious music, this fits the bill.

Day 09: Soul Sister
Sister Rosetta Tharp died on this date 47 years ago. Spin something spiritual

Toad the Wet Sprocket- Dulcinea

DEECB696-6A3B-46CA-A54D-477BCB73D1B9.jpeg

My favorite Toad album kicks off with my favorite song “Fly From Heaven” and these lines:


“Paul is making me nervous
Paul is making me scared
Walk into this room and swaggers
Like he's God's own messenger”

More from Wikipedia: Dulcinea also delves into some spiritual themes. "Fly from Heaven" is sung from the perspective of James, who is portrayed as Jesus' literal brother and is upset by Paul’s manipulation of Jesus' word. "Begin" and "Reincarnation Song" each explore questions about death and the afterlife.

I also really dig the video:

 
Day 9: Spiritual

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven

"and when you penetrate to the most high god
you will believe you are mad
you will believe you've gone insane
but i tell you if you follow the secret window
and you die to the ego nature
you will penetrate this darkness
oh yes there's many a man or woman
that's been put in the insane asylum
when this has happened to them
and they're sitting there today, people think they're insane
but they saw something that's real
and they see it when they're on drugs
the only thing is they see it
not through the light of god, and the way i show you
i show you to see it through the light of god
and the understanding of god
because when you see the face of god you will die
and there will be nothing left of you
except the god-man, the god-woman
the heavenly man, the heavenly woman
the heavenly child
there will be terror under this day of night
there will be a song of jubilee waiting for your king
there will be nothing you will be looking for in this world
except for your god
this is all a dream
a dream in death"
