What you're about to read is a collection of pointers to some of the music I've discovered on the iTunes Music Store, music I like enough that I want to share it. If you're an iPod owner and an iTunes fan (and if you aren't, what are you doing here?), maybe you'll find something new. Click on any of the CD covers to bounce over to the store and sample a few tracks. And then maybe stop by my other blog for a few well chosen words (and maybe a random snark or two). | ||||||

Music - 1968-1971 / Mason Williams | |
I've always thought of Mason Williams as a one-hit wonder, that hit
being
Classical
Gas. So what a surprise to encounter this album and to
be reminded that Williams' output did not begin and end with that one
memorable attack of Gas. There's quite a selection of both
instrumental and vocal tracks here, from a pompous rendition of
The
Smothers Brothers Theme to a Classical Gassy version
of
Greensleeves
to gentle folksy numbers like
It's
Over.
Fun stuff. And it's nice to contemplate what other gems are waiting for their chance to reemerge from the vaults. |
