"Lullaby for the Working Class
Spare, mellow, almost ambient alt-country band from the late 90s.
I'm almost embarrassed that I'm only discovering them now.
Unbelievably great.
Some loose personnel associations with Bright Eyes.

Etta James - One of the best is gone.
I'm very saddened to hear about the death of Etta James. What a talent and one of the mainstays of Chess Records. Not many songs are more moving than her "At Last" and not many are hotter than "Tell Mama".
We'll miss her greatly.

Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, Koko Taylor - just a few who were influenced by the great Etta James. She was a giant, not just in the world of the blues, but in 20th century popular music ...

I dont think anyone will ever better her version of 'id rather go blind' and I just played it in tribute after hearing this news. At least she has left plenty of great vocal deliveries to be remembered by. Soul and blues singers that could outsing Etta are few and far between if they exist at all. RIP Etta.

He PERFORMED with the remaining Monkees, something I swear he said he would never do again after the '80s. It is baffling. As for the meeting, he was so gracious and answered…"

So Mike Nesmith. Yeah. WTF, right? Private, reclusive, mysterious for many years. A couple of years back, he got on Facebook and he posts long, winding tales about himself, his dogs, his home, his past, and a really lovely Mother's Day post last weekend. Photos go up. The whole thing. It's like he disappeared and then came back on his own terms. I didn't know how to take it. I'm a huge Monkees fan, no doubt. And, being a woman/girl of a certain age, I have a favorite and that favorite is Mike.…See More
