What's Spinning

RLJ is one of my favourite artists of all time, het catalogue is amazing and she is a unique talent that is still doing amazing work today, she did a few Facebook solo shows last year that I think might be available on YouTube or through her sight. Stunning! Enjoy the journey.

I am genuinely excited to continue exploring her catalog.

Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

Thanks to @cbl for this recommendation in the Top 3 Classic Rock albums thread!

Out of all the albums mentioned in that thread there were 4 that I had never heard before in any format. The fact that people put them on such a short list seemed significant, so I just ordered them without listening to them.. a leap of faith I guess!

So just finished this one... and... really enjoyed it. It’s going to take multiple listenings to fully appreciate, but the rough guitars and use of sounds was really cool. Thrilled I bought it.

**Edit: Is that consistent sound through most tracks a human sound or some kind of instrument by the way? View attachment 91837
my dude! this makes me so happy. it blows my mind that this band doesn't get more recognition when discussing a broader rock canon...they "started" psychedelic rock.

that wobble sound is jug :

and if you want to learn about one of the wildest/saddest/bizzare-est rides in rock history, read up on Roky Erickson
 
Simon and Garfunkel
Bridge Over Troubled Water

Thanks to @Lee Newman for the recommendation in the Classic Rock Albums thread! I was surprised that I didn’t own this on vinyl already and seems like a good way to end an awesome day of listening to music!

Goodnight all.

This recently became my favorite album by them. I’ve been listening to the Opus podcast and the season on it brought a whole new level of respect and appreciation.
