Went to the other proximal town today and hit that Hastings. Again, the bargain bin. 99 cents a piece.
Linda Ronstadt-Lush Life Interesting that I found this one after the talk about it the past few weeks. Listened to one side on the way home. Not good. She seemed to hit all of the notes perfectly but so bland. Seemed to be pretty emotionless. Give me "Willing", "You Won't Matter Anymore", and "Tracks of My Tears" anyday. Couldn't bear to listen to anymore of it. Linda Ronstadt-Get Closer Haven't tried this one yet. Hall and Oates-Private Eyes. Big, big fan but this album seems pretty commercial. Haven't got to it yet either. Diana Ross-Ross Pretty lightweight and not great but not too bad. Good music to have on when you are not really listening. Nevertheless, what a waste of a great voice. Carole King-One to One Carole, Carole, Carole. Darn, after Tapestry, Fantasy, and Music how can she record these terrible tunes. Couldn't past half of it either. Aretha Franklin-Aretha Haven't got to this one. Just saw on t.v. that one of her houses burnt down. Not good news. Glad she wasn't there. Aretha-What You See Is What You Sweat Got through half of this one and it is was great. Looking forward to the other half. Her duet with M. Mcdonald is beautiful and he is so fine on this recording. Best of Motown 7 Can there be a bad Motown compilation? This one features Ross on "Touch Me in the Morning." Damn, what a tune. One of my all time favorites. Here is the kicker and the jewel of my search. I got another Joni album. About to put it on. So excited. Got it for $3.99. As I mentioned I also bought Dog Eat Dog on eBay last week as well as Mingus. Haven't received them yet. Didn't know what this one was til I took it out of the bag just now. It is "Song to a Seagull." Couldn't tell at the store because they had one of their anti theft devices on it. Couldn't read the names of the tunes nor the name of the album. I tore off the scanning tag trying to find out what it was. The clerk looked at me with irritated consternation as I whistled lightly (and looked away) and pretended that I wasn't paying attention to what he was doing. Ooops. Here goes. Yipppee!!!!! p.s. the artwork on this cd is absolutely beautiful. A place where one would like to be. mack
