Song Review: James Taylor - “Come on Brother” (BBC “In Concert,” Nov. 13, 1971)

Sporting a sparkly, blue jacket; rocking an electric axe; and singing call-and-response style with Carole King and Abigale Haness, James Taylor mixed the funk with the folk on the Nov. 13, 1971, BBC “In Concert” program.

Just re-released on restored footage from the vault, it’s blue-eyed soul - with drugs.

King and Haness: Who is a walking man?

JT: I am

K&H: What does a walking man do?

JT: He walks

It’s mostly a vamp; a plea to get on up and help me to find this groove, driven by Ralph Schuckett and Danny Kortchmar, on keys and guitar, respectively, and the in-pocket rhythm section of Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar.

This is the kind of self-deprecating humor that’s served Taylor well on stage for more than 50 years, coupled with the kind of music he only rarely employs. Too bad, ’cause that walking man can strut - albeit a bit awkwardly.

Some records that transcend their periods were made by those who had many career experiences behind them before these triumphs. I mean, Carole King was already a pop maestro by the time she released Tapestry, yet the latter probably felt like a vindication for all the successes she gave to the others. Actually, she probably had no trouble setting aside the 70's, because her stature as a veteran of the 60's gave her a different aura. However, one must admit she equips herself well to the era of singers-songwriters. I still consider her solo career as a glimpse into what Janis Joplin – their voices are so similar at times – would have done, had she lived. Yes, this is an exaggeration, but she distilled the sounds of the 70's into a whole – a sign of a master at work.

4Kids: It's just the theme music for our dub of the Kirby anime, no need to get too crazy with it.

Norman J. Grossfeld and Ralph Schuckett, looking ready to explode from the raw jazz and maximum pink emanating from their persons:

No.

Today I saw a post about writing the name of your blog with the first letters of song titles and that sounded fun. The rules are to do it in a new post and you��re also supposed to tag people or something but I’m not doing that.

As additional personal rules I didn't use the same source twice and only used things if I could remember at least some of what they sounded like. I did look up lists of songs I thought I'd be familiar with though (eg, looking up the Bastion soundtrack to remind myself what titles were in there). Also I decided not to use any songs starting with A or The because I didn't feel like making a call on whether they could be skipped and they didn't start with K anyway.

Round brackets (parenthesis) in the artist half of the song list indicate names of video games. For over half of them I had to look up the actual people. Also, even if it's not from the game I put it there if there's a specific game with the song in it that I strongly associate with the song.

Square brackets indicate whatever I want them to indicate.

C - "Can You Really Call This A Hotel, I Didn't Receive A Mint On My Pillow Or Anything" - Toby Fox (Undertale) L - "Leave Me Alone" - I Don't Know How But They Found Me O - "Organ Donor" - DJ Shadow C - "Curses" - The Crane Wives K - "Konga Conga Kappa" - Danny Baranowsky (Crypt of the Necrodancer) W - "Wow Wow" - Neil Cicierega O - "Ode to a Superhero" - "Weird Al" Yankovic ["Piano Man" - Billy Joel] R - "Robot Overdrive" - Takeharu Ishimoto (Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory) [I haven't seen Big Hero 6] K - "Kirby: Right Back At Ya! Theme Song" - Norman J. Grossfeld and Ralph Schuckett (Donkey Konga) S - "Senbonzakura" - Kurousa-P feat Hatsune Miku (Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX) T - "Terminal March" - Darren Korb (Bastion) E - "E" - Drunkenmunky E - "Everybody to the Limit (Live)" - The Brothers Chaps and Y-O-U [Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits] L - "Locked Girl" - COOL&CREATE [Remix of "Locked Girl ~ The Secret Girl's Room" and "Love-colored Master Spark", by ZUN (Touhou Series)]

Finding two K songs was a struggle. Like, why is the famous Flowering Knight remix called "Night of Knights / Knight of Nights" instead of the other order? I could've really used that one. My "know what it sounds like" rule blocked the use of Kairi from Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory, Knight to C Sharp from Crypt of the Necrodancer, Knight Man Stage from Megaman 6, and Killing in the Name Of from Guitar Hero 2 (yes, I know it's not "from Guitar Hero 2", but that’s why I’m familiar with it). I guess I used another Crypt of the Necrodancer song for the other K so forgetting Knight to C Sharp didn't make a difference.

Honorable mentions to "Twister" - Takeharu Ishimoto (The World Ends With You), "Setting Sail, Going Home" - Darren Korb (Bastion), and "Wellerman" - The Longest Johns. Also, earlier versions of this list included "Canon in D" - Pachabel and "Roundabout" - Yes, but I wanted to stick with somewhat shorter songs in case I felt like putting together a Youtube playlist so I could put it on and listen to the whole thing or something. I like it when individual songs don't steal the whole show. I'd consider skipping the Kirby theme song if I did put it together as well.

Somewhat amusingly, I notice that I don't know what anything sounds like in the list of the person I copied this from (notahorseindisguise). I've maybe heard New Invention once, but from that group I pretty much only listen to "Leave Me Alone" and "Do It All The Time" and I don't remember any other songs. I'd probably like others but I don't have much of a habit of actively seeking new music.

...in fact, looking over everyone else's answers in the post I linked, I think there are only 3 songs I recognize as something I've heard, total. "Dragula", "YMCA" (although not specifically as played by their pep band), and maybe "Everybody Talks" (literally the words "Everybody talks, everybody talks, everybody talks" come to mind sung a specific way, but I have no memory of what the rest is like). Also, why so many in one thread? Did I maybe misinterpret the rules when they said "Make a new post"?

Perfect Pop 5c - Belinda Carlisle

To call your greatest hits album Best of Belinda Volume 1 is provocative. It’s a challenge. A challenge to yourself, that you're going to come up with at least another album of hits. A challenge to the public, that this is a staging post in your career, filling your contract with the record company before you move elsewhere.

youtube

The album sold well, a week as the best-seller, and number 28 for 1992. "Little black book" was lifted as a new single to market the collection. "I plead insanity" was earmarked as a second single before Christmas, but never quite made it to the stores. The sharp-edged dance tune had been on the album Live Your Life Be Free, was slightly remixed, may have got onto The Chart Show, but never came out as a single.

youtube

Was that the end for Belinda? Not at all. The album Real in 1993 was Belinda's first for Virgin Records. Lead single was "Big scary animal", written by Belinda with Charlotte Caffey of The Go-Go's and Ralph Schuckett from Todd Rundgren's band. It's a decent pastiche of a Nowels and Shipley song, the build-up, the belting chorus, the tremendous sense of fun and freedom.

And here’s a provocative thought. Real is Belinda Carlisle doing alternative rock once more.

The album came out at that fascinating time - after Nirvana and all the grunge had gone mainstream, but before the form ossified with Hootie and the Goo Goo Dolls. 1993 was post-grunge in a liquid state, resonating with Belinda Carlisle the alt-rocker from a decade earlier. File Real alongside works from 4 Non Blondes, Belly, and the Breeders; a record that could only have been made by an American woman in 1993.

Whatever the cause, Virgin decided not to release any more work from Belinda Carlisle, and that was that.

youtube

The end of Belinda Carlisle? Nonsense! The Go-Go's worked together again, a full album came out in late 1994. Belinda's solo career resumed in 1996 with A Woman and a Man. It's not a record Belinda remembers with fondness, she believes it was horribly compromised by her various addictions; I agree it’s weaker than the previous work.

"In too deep" was the lead single, written by Rick Nowels. The first time we'd heard Carlisle sing Nowels in five years, and it was like coming back to meet an old friend. They haven't changed a bit! Pounding piano riffs, a rising verse, and - vam! - a chorus to belt out and be heard halfway around the planet. Long notes mean anyone can join in, even us.

Like most of the songs on A Woman and a Man, "In too deep" was a cover - the first version was by the Kiwi singer-songwriter Jenny Morris.

Dave Tickle was responsible for the production on the album, and it's a bit gloopy - he needed to give Belinda more space to breathe, particularly on the album's soft ballads. And the choice of songs was poor - a pedestrian cover of "Jealous guy", naff closer "The ballad of Lucy Jordan", uncomfortable Roxette song "Always breaking my heart".

Not on the album, "Falling into you", which ended up being nabbed by Céline Dion like a discarded sack of potatoes.

youtube

"California" was the final single off the album, written by Rick Nowels, Maria Vidal, and Billy Steinberg. The song is imbued with mid-90s references - the death of River Phoenix, an earthquake in early '94 - and generally pines for the California of the singer's memory. Backing vocals come from Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, passing the torch of California rep to a next generation.

And that really was the end of Belinda Carlisle as a big hitmaker. A live album to the fanbase in 1999, and 2004's "A Place on Earth" was another collection of great hits, filling the promise she'd made a dozen years earlier.

The end of the hitmaking career, but not the end of Belinda Carlisle...

Song Review: James Taylor - “The Promised Land” (BBC In Concert, Nov. 13, 1971)

It seems weird, but James Taylor’s been singing Chuck Berry nearly as long as he’s been singing.

In 1971, while appearing on the BBC’s “In Concert” program, Taylor and a band that included Carole King, Abigale Haness, Russ Kunkel, Leland Sklar, Danny Kortchmar and Ralph Schuckett among others, closed the gig with “The Promised Land.” King and Haness sing a line, Taylor has a brief mic malfunction and despite the abundance of talent on stage, this cover, just out as part of Taylor’s ongoing series of vault releases, is kind of cheesy.

It doesn’t particularly rock. It doesn’t really roll. It just unfolds uncomfortably.

What he is able to do now with self-deprecation and humility, Taylor hadn’t quite mastered in ’71. This “Promised Land” is, therefore, more curiosity than foundational. It’s something for fans to gawk at once or twice - dig the clothes - but not need to revisit with any regularity.

Taylor streamed the entire program in 2021; you can read Sound Bites’ coverage here.

Carole King - The Troubadour, West Hollywood, California, May 1971

The recent passing of the great writer Eve Babitz got me thinking about her old late 60s / early 70s hangout — Doug Weston's Troubadour! Then, by some wonderful magic (or some dastardly algorithm), this audience tape of Carole King at the West Hollywood club popped up. Was Eve there? Maybe! Either way, it's a terrific you-are-there document of King on the cusp of her Tapestry blockbuster success. Some solo performances, some tunes with Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar and Ralph Schuckett. Feel the earth move on Santa Monica Boulevard ...
