Free Music Notes for Down Two Then Left
Free Music Review: Super album from the late 70's!
Hit: 5 Stars
The words and music on this seem such a complete snapshot of the 70's. Based on what I've seen in older tv shows like Starsky and Hutch, or photos in an old Sears catalog, you can just get a feel for all that the way the musicians color the songs with the arrangements. The last song on the first side, "We're Waiting" conjures up for me the decorative Art Deco throwback design from there- you know those hanging Eastern style lamps with the tassle string-pull and the shag carpeting, hanging plants, etc.. Maybe in a hanging gardens backyard with an in-ground pool surrounded by lush vegetation and behind it a tall elegant wrought iron fence, and The singer lounging aimlessly on a chaise lounge looking for some real meaning in their life. I think the type of music being made then by session musicians was made better by the transparent production sound, nothing to distract from the performers, which is great. I mostly grew up in the 80's, so only old photos and of course media gives me a taste of that decade of so much unique experimentation in music and the arts, generally. Albums such as this really add a lot to the imagination, a little like reading a surreal comic book for the first time from the same period (X-Men, Dr. Strange, The Swamp Thing). One can just imagine the streets of San Fran, the hilly streets, the trolleys, Chinatown, and all those old 70's vehicles. Actually, I'm pretty green when it comes to sweet 70's grooves, so excuse me if I'm overdoing it for this one. Let me recommend one other album from the same year to you though if you are also a fan of this one. Tequila Mockingbird from Ramsey Lewis. It's all intrumental, however if you drive around town with this on, I swear you will really start to see your city (or town) like it was in the 70's- noticing the older buildings and streets, maybe driving slower than you usually do, appreciating an occasional glimpse of a big old gas guzzler that appears simply for adding to the realism of it all. There's one more album like this I own on vinyl. Bob James - Touchdown (it has a huge football on the cover). I haven't listened to it yet, but the first song is the theme from tv's TAXI (remember, Tony Danza's first show). It's the original version, and so I bet this also would have some really warm 70's grooves like only the best musicians of jazz and funk could offer. If Boz Scaggs made more albums after 1980 and before 1988, I wonder what they would have been like?
