Q. What was Bob Dylan's first double (LP) album called? A. Blonde on Blonde Blonde on Blonde is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on May 16, 1966 on Columbia Records. Recording sessions began in New York in October 1965 with numerous backing musicians, including members of Dylan's live backing band, The Hawks. Though sessions continued until January 1966, they yielded only one track that made it onto the final album—"One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)". At producer Bob Johnston's suggestion, Dylan, keyboardist Al Kooper, and guitarist Robbie Robertson moved to the CBS studios in Nashville, Tennessee. These sessions, augmented by some of Nashville's top session musicians, were more fruitful, and in February and March all the remaining songs for the album were recorded. Blonde on Blonde completed the trilogy of rock albums that Dylan recorded in 1965 and 1966, starting with Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited. Critics often rank Blonde on Blonde as one of the greatest albums of all time. Combining the ...

Acclaimed singer, songwriter and bandleader Fred Eaglesmith is a genuine iconoclast and true original. It’s the natural result of following the cue of his musical career and now 19 albums with the January 2012 release of 6 Volts. The result is one of the most fascinating and musically rewarding careers in contemporary music. As he has doggedly gone his own way as an independent musical artist, Eaglesmith has also enjoyed such high profile rewards in recent years as having his songs covered by country superstars Toby Keith, Alan Jackson and Miranda Lambert, among many other accomplishments.

Q. In 1970, who recorded "Cinnammon Girl"? A. Neil Young It debuted on the 1969 album Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, which was also Young's first album with backing band Crazy Horse. Released as a single the following year, it reached #55 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1970. Like two other songs from Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, "Cowgirl in the Sand" and "Down by the River," Young wrote "Cinnamon Girl" while he was suffering from the flu with a high fever at his home at Topanga. This song displays the very prominent role played by Danny Whitten in the sound of Young's early recordings. The vocals are a duet, with Whitten singing the high harmony against Young's low harmony. Young performed the song on his then-recently acquired Gibson Les Paul, "Old Black". The lyrics have the singer daydreaming for a girl to love, singing that he waits "between shows" for his lover. Young has claimed that he wrote the song "for a city girl on peeling pavement coming at me ...

ROLAND'S OPINON; Very calming melodies with a perfect flow from one song to the next. Tusk is the 12th album by the British/American rock band Fleetwood Mac. Released in 1979, it is considered experimental, primarily due to Lindsey Buckingham's sparser songwriting arrangements and the influence of punk rock and New Wave on his production techniques. Bassist John McVie has commented that the album sounds like "the work of three solo artists" (Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie), whilst Mick Fleetwood later proclaimed that it is his favourite and the best Fleetwood Mac studio album created by the group. Costing over one million dollars to record (a fact widely noted in the 1979 press), it was the most expensive rock album made up to that point. Tusk peaked at #4 in the US and was certified double platinum for shipping two million copies. The album gave the group two US top-ten hit singles, with the Buckingham-penned title track, and the Stevie ...

The Imperial Theatre was the chosen venue for what has become the annual event of the Collected Works of Larry Towell featuring musical accompaniment of Mike Stevens. For those not familiar with Larry Towell, he is a world renowned photo-journalist. Larry's "subjects" are not pretty flowers or the typical landscapes of many photographers. He specializes in showing the aftermath of tragic situations both natural and man made. His years spent in places as far reaching as Iraq, El Salvador, Rwanda, Haiti and New Orleans have resulted in creating a disturbing yet enlightening body of work. The faces of survivors, the destruction of property are all evident, leaving you wondering how do people endure. Larry excels in showing us a side of life we never see in our safe homes here in Canada, not even on the news. The Rwanda genocide, soldiers in Iraq patrolling what look like empty streets, flooded cemeteries of ...

People were dancing and singing along with the local group The Persuaders during the April 5th First Friday at Cheeky Monkey. With Ray, Randy and Doug playing from an extensive list of well loved familiar hits from mostly the 60's and 70's, customers could not help but to sing along. A few were enjoying the music so much, they just had to dance too. It was like having a personal hits parade on the Red Carpet stage for the evening. They played so many great songs, I can't being to list them all, but the stand outs were the ones from Creedence Clearwater Revival. The Persuaders, voices and playing style are perfectly suited to cover the CCR hits. For the early part of the evening, Sydney Kennedy and her cousin were on hand to apply henna tattoos to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. For a minimum donation of $2 they would ...
