nada's irregular schedule retains its pace

Sorry, nothing today.

Fairport Convention - I'll Keep It With Mine

I just learned that this is based very closely on the arrangement used on Judy Collins's much more obscure recording. So it goes. Nevertheless, this is the version that's burned into my brain. Sandy Denny nails the vocal, Richard Thompson contributes his usual tasteful guitar.

The Allman Brothers Band - Ain't Wastin' Time No More

Bad things happen, but sooner or later you get up and go on again.

Duran Duran - Perfect Day

Thought I was done with the Lou Reed tributes, but a friend told me about this version of "Perfect Day." Who knew?

Velvet Underground - Sunday Morning

One more from Lou Reed. This is the first song on the first Velvet Underground album, and since I'm posting this on Sunday morning, and Mr. Reed died a week ago today, well, I guess everything is aligned.

Crazy Horse - I Don't Want To Talk About It

The original version of this oft-covered song.

Lou Reed & John Cale - Nobody But You

One more Lou Reed song. This is from the Reed/Cale Songs for Drella, their tribute to their late mentor and friend Andy Warhol.
