Best artist of the sixties secondo DeBaser.

❝ Is it possible to listen to “My Generation” without screaming and shaking?!

❝ Less than forty minutes, but an actual punch in the stomach, a pure distillation of that thing that someone called Rock and which instead I like to call Rock.

❝ LOVE REIGNS ON ME.

❝ If only one name from the entire history of rock remains in a hundred years, it will inevitably be Jimi Hendrix, said Pete Townshend.

❝ Here. In about two minutes, Jimi Hendrix one day decided to show us his soul and we all realized that his soul was so, so beautiful.

❝ Hendrix and the completely still and mesmerized audience in front of this being who came from who knows where to express everything he had inside with the howls he managed to produce from his guitar..

❝ "The only thing to expect from John Coltrane is the unexpected" (Zita Carno)

❝ Silence. This is the silence before something unique, marvelous, and splendid that one fears just to speak of (the first example that comes to mind is Beethoven's Ninth), something known for its superhuman, celestial and infernal power at the same time, a continuous shiver, a dive into the dark depths of ecstasy breaking the heart, tearing it apart, making it believe, understand, see a tear of life above the sky amid flames, light, again flames, again light.

❝ For a journey into space, all you need is about twenty euros, even less if you find "Stellar Region" on sale.

❝ The albums of this quintet are an orgasm.

❝ The result is an indispensable and moving work, which a year ago saw the release of the Sony/Bmg Legacy edition in dual disc format, sold in millions of copies worldwide and which some critics claim represents the actual Bible that every enthusiast should know.

❝ Miles hits hard too, but in a silent way.

❝ Impossible not to affirm that what comes out is an absolute masterpiece.

❝ Year 1968, “Wheels Of Fire” by the British Cream. The pinnacle of their short but very dense career.

❝ Cream’s performances are intense and captivating, with extremely long solos and improvisations at the end, at high volume and energy.

❝ The mwandishi Herbert Jeffrey Hancock —the watermelon man & the great finger dancer of the Blue Note âge d'or— gathered a band of headhunters armed with percussion instruments of Mother Africa and whatever else could be used to coax the spider out of the hole (and that spider is us, lazybones elites); he made himself comfortable in front of rainforest keyboards, clavinets, synthesizers, donned a tribal mask (or a boiler with horns? both: a pressure cooker full of hyperagitated afrofunk) and began the hunting season.

❝ "Cantaloupe Island" is known by everyone, even those who claim they don't know it: those who are now around twenty will remember the sampling in "Cantaloop", male members who have eyes to see will remember Rossella Brescia's backside and therefore, by association, also the piece that serves as the soundtrack to her strip.

❝ The title alone says it all: this is an album completely centered on groove.

❝ Let's begin by clearing up any doubts: this is a classic among classics.

❝ The Creedence Clearwater Revival are a band, in the true sense of the word: the undisputed leader is John C. Fogerty.

❝ The latest studio effort from the American band, an intentionally driven musical suicide at the height of their fame.

❝ "If you tried to give Rock n' Roll another name, you might call it Chuck Berry"

❝ Chuck Berry remains the unsurpassed icon of rock and roll: he holds the formula of this bold and dangerous alchemy, having shaped the expression and definitive language of the main instrument in such a liturgy: the electric guitar.

❝ There was a period in my life when I had only one ambition; to play like Chuck Berry

❝ "Led Zeppelin? What's that?"

❝ "Best Band, Ever"

❝

"This Is The End" had already been announced years earlier by James Douglas Morrison.

❝

"This is the end, beautiful friend. This is the end my only friend..."

❝

"Break On Through (To The Other Side)"

❝ It's hard to separate the name of Procol Harum from the song that made them popular worldwide back in 1967, namely "A Whiter Shade of Pale"...

❝ A refined and elegant work, standing among the very first albums of progressive, then still in the womb of the groups that were giving birth to it, including Procol Harum.

❝ It is an unjustly overlooked work, which I consider worthy of a well-visible place among the usual titles reviewed here at the pace of a mushroom cultivation.

❝ I will have no other Floyds besides Syd!

❝ Goodbye Cruel World (of Business).

❝ The Dark Side Of The Moon is not only the compositional and musical climax of the post-Barrett group's experience

❝ Ornette Coleman had the idea to remove the shackles from jazz once and for all.

❝ I say there is no ‘right’ way to play jazz.

❝ An aesthetic adventure, that's free jazz.

❝ Well, yes. Once again, the old bastard has fooled us all.

❝ What's this shit?

❝ The Animals revived the old black tradition and gave it a sound slap to free it from austerity and academic formalities (namely, the ills that have plagued the genre, sometimes relegating it to cocktail music, although fortunately a good part of it continued to carry forward its visceral nature).

❝ A band of true rock blues purists, on par with the contemporary Rolling Stones, with a singer like Eric Burdon whose intense singing style would also inspire other subsequent rockers like Jim Morrison and Joe Cocker.

❝ If we go back to the sixty years of the "British Invasion", when many were singing the blues, no white singer had a soul as black as Eric Burdon;

❝ "Squeeze" is the apocryphal album of the Velvet Underground.

❝ This album is stunning, chiaroscuro and sadistic like few others.

❝ This double live album, recorded between Dallas and San Francisco, is a confession.

❝ Night is a journey to distant places that the morning light dissolves.

❝ Wayne Shorter: one of the greatest composers to have ever lived; a perfect connoisseur of traditional theory and an insatiable innovator.

❝ Technical, but not boastful.

❝ The news that hasn’t yet reached the Olympus where I hope never to enter is that the Beatles knew how to play, and how.

❝ In short, the general impression here is that you are not just watching a documentary about the Beatles: you are actually reliving those years with them.

❝ Who would have ever thought that the Legend, perhaps the greatest in the History of Music, would have begun with a very simple, very banal, very inexpensive: ONE, TWO, THREE, FAH!

❝ Recorded in 1960, "The Incredible Jazz Guitar" is, forgive the cheekiness, among the best jazz records of all time.

❝ For those who want to learn to play the guitar, there’s nothing worse than an album like this.

❝ This man has been a master. He has inspired great musicians, he will inspire you too.

❝ At least that damn record still sounded like it used to.

❝ Some say they do it better than anyone else, others say they’re now pathetic, and some, like me, claim that this is the true classical music of the late twentieth century, together of course with the best jazz.

❝ This album, despite being recorded under the most terrifying conditions and remixed an indeterminate number of times, remains one of the main cornerstones of the Rolling Stones' discography.

❝ "World-class!"

❝ "Dizzy has always conveyed a cheerfulness and a vitality that were deeply rooted in him."

❝ Her tormented tone and her ability on the piano led her to her thirteenth album at only 30 years old.

❝ After a first track of vocals alone that flows majestically like a mass, here's the masterpiece, the song that made me dance and sweat with passion: "Four Women," simply a precious little lace made with love between the thighs of a Mississippi peasant woman.

❝ The voice and the piano as the only ingredients for a work that documents a traumatic period in the life of the 'High Priestess of Soul'.

❝ First, buy the record, it’s essential.

❝ Frank Zappa remains nevertheless one of the greatest Composers of the 20th century. Period.

❝ Sheik is essential; it’s true that the orchestral suites of The Grand Wazoo are a work of art, but Sheik is mandatory; it’s true that Over-nite sensation is a revolution, but Sheik is inevitable.

❝

This is the first album that absolutely puts the electric guitar at the center of attention, a forerunner of works of the caliber of Are You Experienced and Texas Flood, to name a few, and a precursor of genres and trends that would prevail for over a decade.

❝

Much, much honor and respect for them, history of rock.

❝

The Yardbirds were incredible.

❝ This album, besides being the best album of this extraordinary artist, is a true landmark of free jazz and jazz history at large.

❝ It is difficult to attempt to classify or even describe in broad terms the sonic chaos that comprises "Trout Mask Replica"

❝ Because I didn't understand a damn thing.

❝ Critics have slaughtered it, purists hate it, it seems even Captain Beefheart disowned it... yet "Unconditionally Guaranteed" is perfect.

❝ Elusive as the unconscious, indefinable as a free-associating stream of thoughts.

❝ I think that listening to ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ makes life better.

❝ But at 80, his distinctive voice remains as powerful and remarkably emotional as ever.

❝ The result was "Sweetheart of the Rodeo," probably the most important country-rock album of all time, as well as the swan song of the Byrds themselves.

❝ Wittingly defined by Lester Bangs as the "Revolver of American pop-rock," this work best synthesizes the band's multifaceted nuances, while serving as a fundamental archetype for entire successive rock generations (from R.E.M. to Pavement passing through the Smiths).

❝ The single was released on April 12, 1965, immediately reaching number one on both the American and British sales charts

❝ An album that truly borders on (if not reaches) formal and stylistic perfection.

❝ Can a voice say more than just words alone? Yes, and evidently this album is proof of that.

❝ Otis Redding, the king of soul music. A legend.

❝ The wah-wah of Kaukonen in "Good Shepherd" pushes you to movement, to action, towards where? Forward, towards the future, start moving.

❝ This monument or testament, if you prefer, consecrates the Jefferson Airplane into the Olympus of all rock.

❝ In short, an absolutely must-have album, which paved the way for other masterpieces by the American band, like "After Bathing At Baxter's" and their probable career pinnacle, "Volunteers".

❝ Janis doesn't sing like others, she screams her need to be loved!

❝ Janis Joplin: one of the greatest "white" voices to sing "black" music (forget about Eminem...). This album was released posthumously in early 1971, a few months after Janis had already left us (she died in October '70). The album is the true masterpiece of this sad, melancholic woman, who searched for love she never found.

❝ Listening to "Pearl" is like making love with 25,000 people, savoring in the air the scent of those years, then falling asleep with Janis by your side.

❝ The Sophisticated Giant: what better definition for the tall, slender, and elegant tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon.

❝ "Our Man In Paris" is a little gem of seven tracks recorded in Paris in 1963.

❝ Produced by the legendary Alfred Lion, founder of Blue Note, it is considered one of the most important Jazz albums in jazz history.

❝ The Kinks have given us many little pop gems and Ray Davies was a genius. Period.

❝ It's time to rediscover them, isn't it?

❝ Known mostly thanks to the seminal riff of "You Really Got Me", the Kinks have gone even further, releasing throughout their career several examples of undisputed compositional talent, with an energetic and peculiar sound, that today serve as a true "beacon" for many bands.

❝ “A legendary voice, which has indelibly marked rock music. His records are the object of a cult, also due to his tragic ending at only 28 years old, on June 29, 1975.”

❝ “No one has ever managed to create the void around the voice like Tim Buckley did”

❝ “Starsailor is the unattainable, and the way to get there, Starsailor is not a difficult or easy album, it is not rock, it is not jazz, it is not even music.”

❝ Chet Baker doesn't play the trumpet, he whispers it.

❝ Chet had the bleak feeling that every time he played it could be the last, he confessed to me on several occasions.

❝ “She Was Too Good To Me” is one of the most significant episodes of Baker's tumultuous life.

❝ “Who the hell is that guitarist?!”

❝ “Many times their fame is overshadowed by the great “giants” of English rock of the period like Zeppelin, Purple, or Sabbath, but Ten Years After, led by the great and unfortunately recently deceased Alvin Lee, the “Fastest Guitar in Rock 'n Roll”, are absolutely no less in terms of skill and spectacle, and this double album is the most sincere testament to that.”

❝ “This is essentially the band’s most original work, perhaps also the most refined, and (needless to say) misunderstood by most fans at the time.”

❝ If God had recorded an album, it would have been Pet Sounds.

❝ Smiley Smile is precisely the collection of the few published fragments of Smile.

❝ Published in 1971, "Surf's Up" is the last decent work of a group now divided by internal dissensions and the slow, inexorable mental deterioration of Brian Wilson.

❝ "Knock twice before listening" … this is the warning found on the label of the vinyl for this self-titled debut by the New York-based Silver Apples.

❝ This is rock’n’roll!

❝ These gentlemen are the Stooges: take or leave, hate or love, ignore or listen.

❝ it's over for everyone else, there’s no more room for anyone.

❝ The question here isn’t whether you own 'Made In Japan', but: which version do you have?

❝ The Deep Purple, then! Even though they are all more or less in their sixties, except for Steve Morse, our guys manage to rock like never before.

❝ I am "selfish," I wish that Deep Purple had stopped making records after "Perfect Stranger";

❝ Dirty, raw, yet very catchy at the same time, these Count Five are really cool.

❝ The Rock attitude and way of doing things are something you have to have in your blood, and these five had it to spare!

❝ Personally, one of the foundational texts of psychedelic rock.

❝ “Freak Out!” was released in 1966 and it is a product of impressive variety:

❝ one of his masterpieces, almost a manifesto of total music.

❝ “Music journalism consists of people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read”

❝ Says I PLAY THE MUSIC I AM.

❝ Charles Mingus was, after Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk, the greatest composer that jazz has produced. And he was also the greatest bassist.

❝ This is due, in particular, to the passion of the performers: the pieces far exceed the usual length of jazz compositions, remaining at thrilling levels.

❝ “The Madcap Laughs... And what laughs! Cheerful, hysterical, desperate.”

❝ “Off-key Music for Off-key People.”

❝ “this album is an enormous piece of crap.”

❝ That record is a sonic assault. It’s a vortex.

❝ “Search for the New Land” was produced and released by Alfred Lion for Blue Note (BLP 4169) in 1966, although it was recorded on February 15, 1964, at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in Englewood Cliffs (NJ).

❝ Indeed, for those intending to approach this music, I would suggest starting with the 10 minutes of “The Sidewinder”.

❝ Life is strange.

❝ And that "Pink Moon" is a masterpiece, an absolute masterpiece.

❝ Bryter Layter is a very beautiful record. Perfect. The best I have ever listened to.

❝ Six disks to listen to often, containing really a lot.

❝ such delicacy and refinement in this ballad!

❝ My relationship with "Starless And Bible Black" is instead on another level of values, being the album that has most contributed to developing my way of perceiving music over the last twenty years.

❝ Thus "Third" is born, a superb monument of experimental music and the entire art of the Twentieth century, a swan herald of a sudden dawn, a rainbow framing an autumn sunset, a blazing comet in boundless skies.

❝ "Playing now is lovely here in the BBC"

❝ Hang your ears on the handles of your umbrellas, you will be hit by a rain of electric and reckless sounds!!

❝ this 'shooter' is a blast.

❝ Is it worth buying? I think it is.

❝ Never wake a sleeping dog, especially if it's made of straw as in this case

❝ 1967 was an unrepeatable year. Rock had reached maturity, producing a stunning series of masterpieces. The second album by Buffalo Springfield is certainly to be counted among that elite.

❝ There’s something happening here/what it is ain’t exactly clear…

❝ From this legendary (re)encounter, along with drummer Dewey Martin, the Buffalo Springfield are born, one of the most creative groups of the emerging Californian folk-rock scene and also one of the least known at the time.

❝ Summer 1966, Austin (Texas): for the first time the term "psychedelic" is applied to the music scene.

❝ The genesis of psychedelia is here, in these grooves, in this expanded space filled with luminescent reverberations.

❝ Those who consider them a minor group are mistaken, they were precursors of the American counterculture, a fundamental band of the American music scene.

❝ I am lost, I am silenced, I am blind - I am drunk with sadness, drowned by madness - the wave engulfs me, the mirror repels me - the echo of your laughter crosses the mirror - and I am alone - no friendship, no comfort, no future, no home - the past freezes inside me.

❝ Over is the ultimate expression of the Manchester artist, Over is a record that has always existed (how many works exist on the theme?) that was just waiting to find the right artist to crystallize it in the best form in which it could be conceived, and that is Peter Hammill, as few are skilled with human torment and feelings

❝ Peter Hammill – PH7 – 1979

❝ Unmissable, for aficionados and not.

❝ How much I adored that refined touch, that artistic elegance, and the style always precise and impeccable.

❝ The true gem of this album remains "Tears In Heaven" – inspired by the tragic passing of his little son – and a timeless hit.

❝ What do you want me to say? A masterpiece of that anti-racist political movement of which jazz became the standard-bearer at the end of the '50s, akin to "Free Jazz" by Ornette Coleman, powerful and fluid (forty minutes rarely have passed so quickly) like an uppercut of a raging bull, with Max Roach being a devil hitting his drums in a way only he could, an instrument that found in this performer rare emotional charge. His wife, Abbey Lincoln, gives the vocal performance of a career. Coleman Hawkins and the crew do the rest for the brass.

❝ "The Parable of Arable Land" is one of the most shocking albums ever.

❝ Mayo Thompson made history with experimental rock.

❝ Their second album, with a vaguely mystical title, "God Bless the Red Krayola & All Who Sail With It," is, in my opinion, the highest point reached by the group; it is a genuine gem of experimental rock, psychedelic blues, and crooked acid-folk ballads, worthy of the best Syd Barrett.

❝ "I picked up my bag, I went looking for a place to hide
Then I saw Carmen and the devil walking side by side
I said - Hey Carmen come on, let's go downtown
She said I gotta go but my friend can stick around..."

❝ The result was a classic bolt from the blue, that "Music from Big Pink" destined to quickly establish itself as a milestone of American music.

❝ They decided to title this concert "The Last Waltz", a final waltz to dance together with those they loved, to bid farewell to the audience with a smile, without regrets.

❝ Santana is sweat, it is eroticism, it is shaking your ass to the relentless rhythm even if you're at a funeral.

❝ So let's confidently be guided by our expert shaman and embark on this adventure called "Caravanserai."

❝ This album should be listened to with company, because it must be danced to.

❝ Ian Anderson and the others have not yet stopped delighting the ears of connoisseurs with their very own progressive rock, based on the extraordinary versatility of an instrument more typical of classical music than rock: the flute.

❝ And in the introduction to this album, Ian Anderson states that Wight wasn't the best concert of their lives, and I sincerely remain perplexed because both in terms of sound quality andperformance, we are at absolute levels.

❝ Under Wraps is Jethro Tull's worst album: cold, too technological, not acoustic enough, not melodic enough, and especially lacking the flute that made the band famous.

❝ Electric music for mind and body.

❝ Come on fathers, don't hesitate, send down your sons before it's too late, and be the first on your block to have a son come home in a box!!!

❝ Oliver Nelson's artistic caliber, although recognized—especially by industry professionals—more for his qualities as a composer/arranger than as a (multi)instrumentalist (an aspect unfortunately overlooked), did not receive the recognition it deserved.

❝ The Grateful Dead's live performances are the real trademark of the band.

❝ Finally, the most requested show in Grateful Dead history.

❝ the pinnacle of their production is the amazing double Live/Dead, a cornerstone of the genre and music as a whole, which contains, among other things, Dark Star, THE symbol of psychedelia, one of those tracks capable of wiping out entire discographies.

❝ it’s that Albert Ayler was not a normal guy, and his music is not normal.

❝ Writing that “Spiritual Unity” was the first recording Albert Ayler made with musicians who were not ashamed to play with him may seem like a display of cynicism, but it's not unwarranted:

❝ “Music is the healing force of the universe” (second to last album byAlbert Ayler) is one of those records destined (and indeed it was) to make music history (not just jazz)

❝ If one were to send a couple of dozen CDs out of the Milky Way as a testament to the best music ever produced by Humankind, the choice would be truly daunting, starting with the selection of "genres" to include or not.

❝ he is the Grand Master Supreme Dispenser of secrets in this noble art.

❝ this album has inexorably won me over and continues to enchant me like few others can...

❝ Know that to fully enjoy this gem, the only thing to do is to sit in a comfortable armchair, press play, close your eyes, and let yourself be transported by Our guys to another era, to another world.

❝ "There is no weak point, even if it is "only" a good album, not pretentious, but which demands respect."

❝ "'Days Of Future Passed' will become your travel companion throughout the duration of each day you live and will never abandon you, I assure you."

❝ "In short, a prime example of popularity inversely proportional to the actual value: if you want to remember the Moody Blues, it's better to do so with the image from the '60s in mind, not the dismal one of this record that succeeded only in part."

❝ This is it

❝ “Explorations”, recorded in 1961 in the company of Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian, is no exception, and is one of the cornerstones of Evans’ work.

❝ Miles described Evans’ style "like crystal notes or sparkling water cascading down from some clear waterfall".

❝ The greatest living composer.

❝ If so, if you have managed to imagine and create a music of this kind, then you are called Karlheinz Stockhausen.

❝ A quartet born from a dream, as mentioned, after Stockhausen initially refused the commission he received to write a traditional quartet.

❝ “Georgia On My Mind”: simply celestial, a song that needs no comments, Ray's masterpiece

❝ There’s all the blues in this album, and that’s that.

❝ The soundtrack of this film is, just to repeat myself, fantastic.

❝ “Anyone who has intelligence

May interpret the number of the beast.

It is a man’s number.

This number is 666”

❝ A Greek band, Aphrodite's Child, which boasted the fantastic and poetic voice of Artemios Ventouris Roussos (Demis), the great drumming of Lucas Sideras, and the lucid madness of that genius Evangelos Odyssey Papathanassiou (that is, the great Vangelis).

❝ "... And God was left riding the donkey, the devil is in heaven and made a nest there..."

❝ I believe this is, hands down, De André's most beautiful work and one of the highest in the Italian (and global, since it was also appreciated by a certain David Byrne) songwriting landscape.

❝ there is a crack in everything and that's where the light gets in.

❝ Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free.

❝ That same evening, the four of them meet at the Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles, and they record it live in a couple of takes.

❝ That year, the four were engaged in the triumphant tour supporting “Déjà Vu”, from which “Four Way Street” is taken, probably the most famous live album in the history of rock.

❝ Ten timeless pearls fixed in time.

❝ As Paul Simon recounts:
"Graceland was the result of an extraordinary ability to understand one another among people who had just met".

❝ "These wonderful songs refuse to despair, despite the evidence all around us. "So Beautiful Or So What" rejects the allure of fashionable darkness and the hypnosis of ignorance - better to contemplate and celebrate the endurance of the spirit and the persistence of love"

❝ "I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to its knees"

❝ Unjustly forgotten, the Sir Lord Baltimore are a power-trio from New York who left a scorching mark on the music scene with their debut in 1970, with the album "Kingdom Come," to be considered as a true example of heavy metal ante litteram.

❝ "It was Arthur's isolation from the whole world, not just musical, that was the real cause of their decline, particularly the fact of not being able to give the public what it asked for, which is music, a true, continuous contact, a presence; discontinuity was fatal to them. It's a real shame because Arthur Lee in particular, is one of those few geniuses I have rarely encountered in the whole rock'n'roll world." Jac Holzman.

❝ If in the sixties there was an alternative to the Beatles and Beach Boys' mainstream pop, it is certainly to be found in the grooves of this little-known masterpiece by the English band Zombies.

❝ "Care Of Cell 44" is a song from the album "Odessey And Oracle" by The Zombies from the year 1968.

❝ “Odessey And Oracle” is the most unfortunate and “fantozzian” album ever that a company could produce.

❝ This "For Alto" from '69, a double LP converted into a single CD, represents the sonic version of the stream of consciousness of Joycean memory; the Freudian unconscious uncovered in music in its most primordial nature; pure surrealism!

❝ Three shamans vibrating to the rhythm of the universe in a sacred music without God.

❝ Braxton is a first-rate musician, wonderfully in symbiosis with his instruments, gifting us sounds generously for those who know how to collect them patiently.

❝ "On the Beach" is Neil Young's masterpiece: the work in which the threads of his aesthetics magically converge, through an astonishing sonic alchemy.

❝ Le Noise should be listened to at night when darkness takes over your sight and you remain solitary with your doubts and thoughts.

❝ An epochal record, essential for every rock music enthusiast who doesn't already have the dozen-plus albums on their shelf from which these songs are taken.

❝ Really a great album, underestimated as unfortunately is its author.

❝ Donovan is simple, and being simple is the most difficult thing in the world.

❝ Unfortunately, it seems impossible to talk about Donovan without mentioning his great rival Bob Dylan.

❝ But here we are still in 1969, the acid sun of California has not yet completely set, and behold, the twenty-five minutes of Who Do You Love (a Bo Diddley cover), reveal an incredible machine of good vibrations.

❝ The group, active since 1966, arrived late to a major contract, but it was two years prior that they made a name for themselves in the San Francisco area as one of the most exceptional live acts around.

❝ Next comes "Fresh Air", a song that needs no introduction, listened to and re-listened to by generations, which belatedly taps into that chart-topping psychedelic rock, accessible to everyone.

❝ Archie Shepp is the voice of an oppressed people, the voice of African American anger.

❝ Don't think it's jazz. That "jazz is the name white people gave to black music."

❝ Attica Blues is a subjective voice that, however, catalyzes and becomes vox populi.

❝ How much it pisses me off that there isn't yet one, I say, one (!), dedicated to them on DeBaser...

❝ "Well, many of the songs, they aren't sad, they're hopeless"

❝ Sorrow and solitude these are the precious things and the only words that are worth rememberin'

❝ “Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the world; I would say it in front of Dylan with my boots on his table”

❝ Ladies and Gentlemen …Simon …..and…..Garfunkel

❝ They were the soundtrack of a generation, in life and in cinema.

❝ “My life seems unreal, my crime an illusion, a scene badly written in which I must play…”.

❝ The unique characteristic of the USA, a musical project headed by Joseph Byrd, a student of John Cage in early '60s New York, is the total unfamiliarity of each member with rock music.

❝ Psychedelia yes, but much more: artistic journey, at times Dada, at times Naif, at times grotesque, at times avant-garde.

❝

"Shut up, don't cry"

❝

it's monk time now!
