Lately-- LOTs of 50's/60's R&B and Do-Wop (The Coasters, Wrens, Orioles, & Falcons; and Soul/R&B w/Eddie Floyd). Electric and Post-Modern Blues, and lots of Jazz (Prestige and Blue Note, mostly), a couple of box sets (David "Fathead" Newman, and Joe Henderson), Big Band with Ellington and Basie, Reggae and Dub with Meta & the Cornerstones and King Tubby, et. al., and melodic-progressive-pop-metal (!) with King's X. Some straight-ahead progressive rock with Spock's Beard as well...

Sixto Rodriguez - both the "Cold Facts" and "Coming From Reality" Albums circa 1970 and 1971 respectively
Love the back story subject to a documentary where he outsold the Rolling Stones and most major artists for decades in South Africa due to Apartheid and believed dead until he was discovered in inner city Detroit back in 1998 as a general laborer. He went to South Africa in 1998 and performed five massive sold out shows as a mega star! A heart warming story but the music is fantastic!

And one more before bed. The Stones could re-brand as country and be better than anything on country radio Ronnie wood plays a mean steel

Used to play "Girl with the..." in a band I was in back in the 80's-- Glenn Colton & the Hawaiin Cowboys.

If you're down on your luck, and can't harmonize indeed...

Yesterday I was eating lunch in a sandwich place, and "Bring on the Night" by the Police (I Shazamed it; I am not such a big Police fan as to recognize a non-hit single song of theirs) came on the radio, and since then, I can't take my ears off of it. It's not much of a party song (except maybe for a very specific audience), but, man, I just love upbeat songs with dark subject matter. "When You Were Mine" by Prince is a perennial favorite, both the original and Cyndi Lauper's cover. I really enjoy all the music you hear around Halloween, but I know I should start collecting my fun but slightly edgy earworms, because I'm going to need them during the holidays.
 
I was/am a big Police fan, and that is a great song! Stewart Copeland (drummer) is actually coming to my town to play his drum set concerto with the philharmonic orchestra, and I'm going to interview him for a couple of publications... Pretty excited (big fanboy, and everybody wanted to sound like the Police in the 80's!)...

BTW, PP-- Wear your looking-glass tie much?? Speaking of things Fab, and things we're listening to, my son and I went to see the Ron Howard Beatles documentary last week. Highly recommended for the serious, or even casual fan. A lot of the usual footage, but also quite a bit of what appears to be "new"/undiscovered home movies, 8mm, that sort of thing. Some decent concert footage, then, they run the Shea Stadium concert after the film-proper is over. Get out to see it while it's still in theaters.
