DM - I remember back in the day, Survival was your favorite Marley album. In fact, I remember recommending Kaya to you. And I think you came back to say it was the "trippy" Marley album, but I may be wrong on that; that might have been someone else who said that. Kaya does have great run at the end, from Misty Morning on, but probably not my favorite. Nor Rastaman Vibration either for that matter; it has a weak patch in the middle: Johnny Was, Cry to Me, Want More. And Jah Live is a bit weak to me too. But I really like Night Shift with the opening Psalm quote. I might choose for Uprising, if only for Zion Train, with the massive groove, which is probably my favorite Marley song. But on further reflection I think I might choose Exodus because it's so strong. And I love the mutant rocksteady groove of the title track. Sadly I have had none of these albums since I gave up vinyl years ago.
Thanks and praises to DM for reminding me of some great songs.
I went on a different trip back in time - I found Michael Hedges' Aerial Boundaries in the library. TG and I saw him at least a couple of times. I want to say numerous times, but that might be a trick of my memory. He used to play in the atrium of the Varsity in Palo Alto before he got famous and that's where I first saw him. Listening to it, there was one spot where I could totally see him playing the song, how he would hammer on and off with one hand on the neck, and move his other hand around and hitting harmonics and slapping the body of the guitar. Strange to have such a specific visual memory of the music from thirty years ago. Listening to this also reminded me that he did a great version of All Along the Watchtower.
