Betty Davis - They Say I'm Different (Full Album) HQ

In the early '70s, Betty Mabry was a unique figure in the landscape of "black music." She was not just a singer; she was also a songwriter, arranger, and producer, choosing, planning, and deciding everything independently and doing so in an extremely innovative way.

This is her most important album, a work that reshuffles the cards on the table, blending the lessons of Jimi Hendrix & Sly Stone.

She revolutionized funk just as Captain Beefheart did with blues.

Comparisons can only be made with men since, in that historical period, women were often relegated to the roles of background singers, vocalists, or at most, singer-songwriters; she, however, has a profile of an absolute protagonist.

Although she is commonly associated with being the wife of Miles Davis, when it comes to funk, it is Miles Dewey Davis III who should be remembered as Betty's husband.

In any case, more than half a century after its release, this album remains as exhilarating as it was in '74, not just a piece of cake!
 
She - Bad Girl

SHE- "OUTTA REACH" (1970)

Every once in a while, we go back to the decade to celebrate some who were forgotten along the way...

First “Id,” then “Hairem,” finally “She”...

Sacramento 1964... after school... but especially after a Beach Boys concert, seventeen-year-old Nancy decided to form an all-girl rock band. She quickly recruited her thirteen-year-old sister... and they carried on until 1971.

Commercial luck: 0, but many shows between Sacramento and San Francisco...

Rough and psychedelic garage, as it should be...

There’s (only) a nice compilation from the turn of the millennium...

Meret Becker & Ars Vitalis - Jockey Full Of Bourbon

Here’s a little gem that I hope is stylish from a triple tribute album that many friends were unaware of. I stumbled upon it on PirateBay, if I remember correctly, while searching for something else. Blessed serendipity!
 
Oh Jim

March 1975......

BREAKING BAD: Gale sings "Crapa pelada"

I know.
You don’t love TV series.
They require patience, a compulsive sense of binge-watching that seemingly contradicts the term "patience."
You probably don’t appreciate my personal imprint on the genre - that is "Sons of Anarchy" - nor the sublime narrative heights reached by many objectively unforgettable series: from "Black Mirror," "Fargo," "Westworld," "Handmaid's Tale," and, to get closer to what I want to say, "Better Call Saul."
Which is a "costola" (Spin-Off for you ignorant ones) of that masterpiece known as "Breaking Bad."
From which this little song is taken that I’m going to share my usual nanetto (anecdote) about, to which, as usual, you won’t believe.

It must have been 1979, and through a classmate whose brother was a choreographer in the opera field (he took me to see "Tosca" in the backstage of the Arena di Verona), I found myself in Milan at Lino Patruno's apartment.
There were a lot of famous people – I particularly remember an amazing Marenco – and he, Lino, was playing this piece on the guitar like a madman, at incredible speed!!!

Hearing it referenced in a famous American TV series made me reflect on how great we Italians could be if we weren’t such assholes who throw ourselves away. Yuk!
