Edwin Starr - War (What is it good for)​

Many were the times when we blasted this (from my brothers car stereo with my late big sister) under a Finnish midnight summer sun , boy it was loud! (More relevant now than I would ever have imagined it would be
in my lifetime)

Metallica - One​

1944

Calvin Russell 2013

 

[nobodynoz]

Russell was born in Austin, Texas, on November 1, 1948. The sixth in a family of nine, Calvin Russell spent his first five years virtually behind the counter at Sho Nuff Café, where his father Red cooked and his mother Daisy was a waitress. At twelve, Calvin took up guitar and joined his first group, The Cavemen. At fifteen, he ran away to San Francisco. He survived on the road thanks to odd jobs and found himself imprisoned several times for petty teenage offenses. Disillusioned with the American model of financial and social success, he marginalized himself and sold cannabis in order to subsist. Arrested several times, he spent ten years behind bars.
He died in 2011.

These 2 posts delight me on two counts: First, to be introduced to Calvin Russell. At some point I'll be doing a deeper dive. Secondly, you apparently have a Josh White connection. I have in my LP library (and transferred to digital), originally from my father's collection, a well preserved album of White together with Big Bill Broonzy. (A shame we have no way of sharing mpeg files. I enquired and appreciate the limitation on tech costs as well as piracy concerns.) - Cheers

Ohh, now it is porn. I give up.

Some of us grew up in an era that had no MTV and we had no desire to view sum dumb*ss video along with the music, we foraged for.
When a provided link to some music source includes an accompanying video; I will normally minimize the window so that I don't have to watch the dumb*ss video.
If pRon bugs you, you may wish to try listen to the link using the above "old-skool method" << w/o the video.

I like your suggestion though sometimes the video has content to convey. It was indeed the video that brought on my reaction to the post in question. Unfortunately, if the lyrics were conveying something different that was lost on me, being in German (I believe?). So without being offered at least a summary translation I'll just have to remain in the dark. And though I know it's a bit simplistic to say this but just as words matter, so do images. I happen to be very visually oriented so it would be difficult to avoid the videos. At 75 I definitely am of the pre-MTV generation but I'd like to think I'm not a one note samba. And a parting remark as to the musicality of the track: I actually like it. Ain't life fun with all it's contradictions!

Heck, my parting shot would be to admit that I don't usually even listen to words/messages in music.
Even a bigger musicality-contradiction w/o paying attention to the lyrics.

I tried to reply with just some laughing emojis but I guess some text is required!

More meditative this morning:

... nice wide and deep soundstage on several tracks.

 

[Axo1989]

No Soundcloud for that one but I discover Cremation Lily did a remix for an old fave:
