Overall, I find the quality of the songs a bit uneven, and the sound would have benefited from a better recording studio. Still, the two tracks "Meshkalina" and especially "Jews Caboose" are outstanding. Thanks for posting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on a better recording studio but I guess for the time that was what they were working with. Plus there was plenty of acid/buttons, etc. involved. They pulled off the language barrier pretty well I think. Got a laugh out of the Scorpions mention! This is the other one, and I forgot about Another one, that I mentioned of 2. Now 3 but I'll save that one for another time. As far as I know there were 3 different Kaleidoscopes... one US, one UK, and this one, recorded in Mexico with players from all around, Frank Tirado (Puerto Rico) - Vocals and a little bass Orly Vázquez (Puerto Rico) - Vocals in 3 songs, Bass and little guitars Pedrín García (Spain) - Guitar Rafael Cruz (República Dominicana) - Drums Julio Arturo Fernández (República Dominicana) - Organ... Little known but this is one acid drenched listenable piece. From what I know less than 300 copies of this were ever pressed. I have a reissue of 200, forget the number, and a CD copy.

muppy Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Inspired by the movie Elvis (well worth seeing) this song wasn't in the movie but I think its neat they interposed a girl drumming.

muppy Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) @DrW I took note that the drummer was again a woman in your clip . It seems to be an underserved role in rock music.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Steppenwolf — Monster, 1969 And though the past has its share of injustice Kind was the spirit in many a way But its protectors and friends have been sleeping Now it's a monster and will not obey The spirit was freedom and justice And its keepers seemed generous and kind Its leaders were supposed to serve the country But now they won't pay it no mind Cause the people grew fat and got lazy Now their vote is a meaningless joke They babble about law and order But it's all just an echo of what they've been told Can any lyrics from over 50 years ago be so relevant to today’s events?

This is in my top ten albums of all time... chick drummer And bass player, from 1969, rare as hell... again, I have a reissue. Dora Wahl kind of blows the doors off of Moe really. Its kind of like the mamas and papas to the tenth power... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, I dug a bit further and stumbled upon a female jazz/big band drummer, Viola Smith. Here is a clip from 1939. She died in 2020 at the age of 107. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the movie real Elvis footage was edited into the actors replication it was really cool and well done just as a side note Polk Salad Annie was written by Tony Joe White, and his performance beats Elvis by miles (well, it is difficult to do the pelvis gyrations when you have to play guitar at the same time)... My favorite Tony Joe White song... Usually, singers/songwriters are not very high on my preferred music list. However, way back in Germany a TV station had a competition asking for songs mentioning types and/or models of cars, and the "Continental Lincoln" in this song made the list.

muppy Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) great stuff @DrW gracias. You enlighten the 2bd music board whenever u post. the polk salad annie reference was primo. I hadn't given that song or Elvis either for that matter much thought untll the recent movie came out. Having seen it makes he a much more interesting character/person not just a hips swaying gyrating performer. And female drummers there just aren't that many. I do think this next clip has a great female drummer. Beyond she and Sheila E my knowledge was basically squat until this thread. m Edited July 12, 2022 by muppy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrW Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 One of my favorite bands. They just made one album, the eponymous "Heron Oblivion". All the concert clips I could find from this band had Meg Baird's vocals turned even further down than on the record and I decided to go with the album audio instead. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) @DrWI googled and this was written about the band Heron Oblivion. I almost wrote heroin oblivion ha. This band indeed has an interesting vibe. I looked at their influences and was aware of a few of their influences from my sons tastes (Polvo, Sonic Youth) . From wiki I am glad I checked into them further an interesting cuppa tea. unique beautiful voice. Here is her picture Quote Heron Oblivion received mostly favorable reviews from critics: according to Metacritic, the album has a score of 80 out of 100, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[5] Aaron Leitko wrote in the Washington Post that the album "moves elegantly between extremes — soft and loud, harmony and dissonance."[2] Writing for Pitchfork Media, Leitko gave the album a score of 7.7 out of 10 and described its songs as "moody and dark, with clear moments of guitar solo-driven catharsis."[3] Doug Mosurock wrote for NPR that the album "restores both austerity and blistering excess to the form, following in the footsteps of Fairport Convention, Jefferson Airplane and the purists that came after (Major Stars, Vermonster and the rest of the Twisted Village roster, for starters, as well as Polvo and Sonic Youth, who cut their own trails throughout the '80s and '90s) Edited July 19, 2022 by muppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrW Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) Three outstanding live versions of one of the finest rock songs ever, "Dear Mr. Fantasy" (written by Winwood, Capaldi and Wood of Traffic). The two first versions feature Jerry Garcia on guitar. First, the Grateful Dead... Now, Traffic with Jerry Garcia... Several excellent cover versions of this song exist, e. g. by Crosby, Stills and Nash (I really liked Steven Stills' vocals) or Jimi Hendrix. However, IMHO the best cover by far is by Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper. They are expanding the song into territory not touched by the original. And they incorporated the "Hey Jude" theme 20 years before the Grateful Dead. Enjoy... Edited July 20, 2022 by DrW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
