Ah, RED. It's definately a dark album. Almost scary. Great album though. If you don't own Starless and Bible Black, get it. SABB and RED are almost a double album. They should be listened to consecutively (IMO).

That Spoon album is wonderful. If you dig it, try Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga...the follow up to Gimme Fiction.

I think A Love Supreme is a masterpiece, but I think its easier to get into after delving into some of his more mainstream stuff: Giant Steps, Blue Train, the Coltrane/Burrell album and the Coltrane/Monk at Carnegie Hall album.

I think a good bridge album between the more mainstream stuff and A Love Supreme is Live at The Village Vanguard - The Master Takes (1 disc). The cut titled "India" on there is just phenomenal. A Love Supreme was one of the first Coltrane albums I picked up (as a friend suggested it) but looking back I should have picked up some of these first..

Danny I have The Glen Miller Orchestra, "In the Digital Mood" from when it first came out and I love it to death. It's always great blasting it as an eye opener.

Boy do I wish I had the Lou Reed album.

Alternative latin/country R&R

From allmusic.com:

Alejandro Escovedo's family tree includes former Santana percussionist Pete Escovedo and Pete's daughter Sheila E (also Prince's former drummer and later a pop star). He began his music career with the Nuns, a mid-'70s punk band based in San Francisco. He co-founded the pioneering cowpunk band Rank and File in 1979, which moved to Austin, TX, in 1981 after a stint in New York City. The band released Sundown on Slash Records in 1982, but shortly after, Escovedo left to form the True Believers with brother Javier. The band recorded two albums for EMI and toured the country, often as an opening act for Los Lobos. However, EMI opted not to release the second album, which eventually led to the group's breakup. (It eventually surfaced as a bonus item when Rykodisc reissued the first set on CD in 1994.) Escovedo released a solo album in 1992 on Watermelon Records, Gravity, uniting his wide variety of styles; the album was produced by Stephen Bruton of Bonnie Raitt's band. Escovedo also began gigging periodically with the band Buick MacKane, which fused old-school punk with '70s glam rock; after Rykodisc released Escovedo's With These Hands in 1996, they followed it up with Buick MacKane's long-awaited album. After Escovedo parted ways with Rykodisc, he signed in 1998 with the Chicago-based alt-country label Bloodshot, which released the live album More Miles Than Money: Live 1994-1996 and the acclaimed studio set A Man Under the Influence. In April 2003, Escovedo collapsed following a show in Phoenix, AZ, after which it was subsequently revealed that he had been diagnosed with Hepatitis C in the late '90s but had not sought treatment. An outpouring of support from musicians led to a series of successful benefit concerts to help pay Escovedo's medical expenses and keep his music before the public, followed by a tribute album, Por Vida: A Tribute to the Songs of Alejandro Escovedo, which was released in 2004. In 2006, Escovedo released Boxing Mirror and toured with the Alejandro Escovedo String Quintet to promote the album. His next album, Real Animal, was produced by Tony Visconti and released in June 2008. Escovedo re-teamed with Visconti for 2010's Street Songs of Love.

Thanks Steve, that's some story and what a mix of genre! How the SQ on that album?

"A Love Supreme" is really cool. It's my album with Coltrane and I am really digging the composition and tunes. I can only imagine how cutting edge this must have been for the time.

**shack** · 11-15-2010 11:04 AM

It's not stellar, but generally well done.
