I don't entirely agree with @[Confaloni], and it's one of the few times I find myself in this position... Harrison's creativity, flair, and imagination really exploded in the last two years with the Beatles (with tracks absolutely on par with those of his two "senior" colleagues) and on this monumental album. Then, let's be clear, the calm Beatle will never again replicate such fullness of intention and results, churning out rather uninteresting, monotonous, and, let's face it, really boring albums. Has anyone truly listened to "33 1/3" or "Dark Horse" more than once?

Not so with Lennon's releases, who would lay down a surprising ace with his first album, essential, raw, and heartfelt, increasing in intensity with "Imagine," his peak, and slightly falling with "Sometime in NYC" only to take off again with "Mind Games"... the comparison with Harrison's discography is nothing short of merciless, and George also loses points against McCartney's production, which, far from showing itself as inventive genius, at least managed to deliver two albums of some substance in the '70s...

Ugh, I said...

And who hasn't copied someone else?

1) Subject, verb, complement.
2) Read, you'll know how to write too.
3) Punctuation.
4) Think before spouting nonsensical crap and, if you really feel the urge, throw it down attempting the difficult task of making yourself understood.
And go fuck yourself.

I admit that I am struck by two very different states of mind when listening to Concato, to any Concato product: I hear the excellent acoustic guitarist, I feel the sensitive, fragile lyrics, I see the passion of the Artist, I share with him the unconditional and somewhat obsessive love for bossa nova, I adore his almost total renunciation of the electric guitar, his positioning within a band that is always technically perfect and never intrusive, and, as @[London] claims, many of his albums are really well recorded and anyway above average, with a sound and frequency separation that is truly rare, not just here.
Then there’s Concato the singer: that’s where I stop. I don’t like his voice, his meowing, his faux posh accents, his showcased high notes, his enunciation of words in such a didactic manner that it becomes annoyingly affected... I know, it’s certainly my limit, but I cannot stand his singing style and vocal timbre...

Belated, culpably belated, tribute to the Four, to Monte and to @[Pinhead] ...

With the love I've always had for Aron Schmitz... I confess to having played for a very brief month, on keyboards in a ragtag band of alcoholic friends who played classics in dialect.
The name?
"La Coscienza di Zena".
Shame.

Maybe it's not the most beautiful live soul album, there are at least a couple more I can remember, but Aretha, well, Aretha, what are we talking about?

Great album, born in a period that, for Our Artist, was as artistically fruitful as it was sadly sentimental.
Hermetic, certainly more than others, but here, and then in the following album, Vecchioni planted the seeds for a new way of understanding the singer-songwriter genre, combining "important" lyrics that were never trivially presented with music that was not always to their level.
But he wasn't the only one on that path.
Nice analysis, I like it.
