The Language of Music

Ray Charles, John Coltrane, Aretha Franklin, Ginger Baker, Eric Clapton
I don't know how Tom Dowd's identity and influence escaped me for so many years. His influences as engineer, producer and omnipresent encourager of creative greatness were all over the music and albums that were like oxygen to me during the 60's and 70's. And I read every word about every person and player on every album cover like they were scripture. It really speaks to Mr. Dowd's dedication to putting the music first that his undeniable influence is so hard to find an acknowledgment for.

The Very Best of Aretha Franklin: The 60's

Whenever I go to the Longmont Public Library, I always get the CD, The Very Best Of Aretha Franklin. I would take it home, put it in my stereo and play it. I feel in love with all the songs. I am going to rate the songs one by one from a scale of 1 to 5. There are times I will go over the 1 to 5 scale:

1.RESPECT: I give this song a 8/5 because I love the words and how Aretha sings it. She sings it with such clarity, emotion and power. This song swept me off my feet and I love to sing along with it.

This Christmas, Aretha

by: Aretha Franklin
Her voice has left her and I dont think its coming back. She hasnt sounded like she does on her hit recordings in years, but this is just sad. Screaming, wailing, all on here and not in tune with the music. I heard this in a record store and I was shocked it was released. Dont waste your money.

Atlantic Records: The House That Ahmet Built

Ahmet Ertegun, Bette Midler, Jerry Wexler, Aretha Franklin, Nesuhi Ertegün
Because nobody would believe the movie - it would be too implausible from the start: Son of Turkish Diplomat enters American pop music culture and ands up being the major force behind from Charlie Mingus, Miles Coltrane, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, to the The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Cream; Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young; The Who, AC/DC and everybody else who mattered. And 50 even 60 years later still mattered.

If how Rock and Roll came to be has the slightest fascination for you , you must own this.
