Up There Down There Patti Smith ... #minorpieces ... Dream of Life, or the album of the Priestess's return, or the Smith family album, or the album that included the "popular" People Have The Power ... but the album also contained other very beautiful things like this piece with splendid guitar embellishments from the late husband Fred ...
 
Frank Zappa - The Grand Wazoo #domenicasizappa ... right on time... take that!
 
Queen - News Of The World - 08 - Sleeping On The Sidewalk ... #pezziminori ... When Brian gets serious, he brings out a Blues with the real deal! I'll give it another shot...
 
YouTube video non trovatoB3gQJKfhbrA ... #pezziminori ... when Brian gets serious, he pulls out a Blues with the balls to match!
 
Edoardo Bennato - Quante Brave Persone ... #pezziminori ... I love Bennato at least up to E' Arrivato Un Bastimento (included) ... He has always been innovative, ironic, and irreverent, and La Torre Di Babele represents that perfectly ... Roberto Ciotti's work in this blues is really beautiful, with a direct and sharp text as he used to do...
 
Questo Amore - Lucio Battisti ... #pezziminori ... farewell album by Mogol Una Giornata Uggiosa, often treated a bit poorly, and always remembered for the usual 2 tracks ... let’s give a chance to something cute like this as well...
 
Bob Marley - Pimper's Paradise ... #pezziminori ... the many, too many collections dedicated to Uncle Bob have practically focused attention on the "usual" tracks, leaving a good portion of equally wonderful songs forgotten. This one comes from Uprising and it’s truly a hidden gem...
 
P.F.M. - Harlequin ... oldies a kaizer... Di Cioccio on drums is outstanding (77 years old, mind you), Patrick on bass is always a guarantee, and Lucio "violin" Fabbri always brings emotions, while the other newcomers hold their own... including the new guitarist Marco Sfogli... great concert yesterday with a mix of new (few) and old tunes, among which this one gave chills...
 
Van Morrison You Gotta Make It Through The World ... #pezziminori ... A Period Of Transition, or when an album title captures a reality ... an album that has always been treated poorly but which, in my opinion, contains truly remarkable pieces like this track that opened the album...
 
Elton John - Ballad Of A Well-Known Gun (Tumbleweed1 of 12) ... #pezziminori ... there was a time when Sir Reginald made great music ... this record is the brightest confirmation of that ... Tumbleweed Connection opened with this very tasty country-blues...
 
Genesis - Undertow ... #pezziminori ... what a charm this album has always had over me ... and Undertow is rarely remembered, yet its very "autumnal" and melancholic melody (Banks in good form) always sends shivers down my spine!
 
If It Takes All Night - Roxy Music ...#pezziminori ... How many nice little "things" can be found in the early albums of Roxy Music, the more glam ones to be precise, and those with the most "fascinating" covers like this one from Country Life ... a very tasty track, complete with old-style sax...
 
Iggy Pop - Tiny Girls ... #pezziminori ... The Idiot or rather almost a new reincarnation of Bowie in the body and voice of Iggy ... but how beautiful is that opening with that sax...
 
Tears For Fears - The Working Hour ... #pezziminori ... I was very unsure about what to choose from Tears For Fears ... many of their tracks cry out for recognition and deserve a reevaluation (I'm immediately thinking of Everybody Loves A Happy Ending, but maybe it only appeals to me ...) ... in the end, I choose this one because it is "sandwiched" between two super classics of the band ... I don't know, to me it somewhat reminds me of Bowie...
 
Neil Young | Are You ready For The Country? ... #pezziminori ... How many forgotten wonders in Uncle Nello's songbook ... this crooked country song that closed the first side of Harvest seemed worthy of a revival...
 
Tom Waits - Semi Suite ... #pezziminori ... and when do you find a minor piece in Uncle Tom's cabin?? I love resurrecting this one, which I find perfect for a little evening, you get me...
 
Stevie Wonder - As If You Read My Mind ... #pezziminori ... A disc that is often overlooked, Hotter Than July. Of course, Stevie's masterpieces had already come to light, but here we are still at good levels... and I really love his "party" songs like this one.
 
Frank Zappa - Flakes #domenicasizappa ... among the funniest pieces by Uncle Frank featuring a hilarious imitation of Dylan complete with harmonica... happy Sunday to all the Deb...
 
Yes A Venture ... #pezziminori ... I've always really liked this track, definitely one of the lesser-known ones from the early Yes phase... of course, the best!
 
Jefferson Airplane - Young Girl Sunday Blues (1967) #pezziminori ... After Bathing At Baxter's that is another great album squeezed between two giants ... I love the intertwining of Slick's and Balin's voices in this track ... did Di Exene Cervenka and John Doe's X have ears for this...?
 
Alive And Well And Living In-Jethro Tull #pezziminori ... Benefit, or the album that is often overlooked in the discography of Jethro ... it indeed doesn't contain masterpieces but maintains a decidedly good average across all the tracks ... I find this one particularly charming.
 
Peter Gabriel - Lead A Normal Life #pezziminori ... The third chapter of Gabriel's numeric saga is undoubtedly the turning point and the definition of his style ... the atmosphere created by this little-remembered piece is very beautiful.
