Love The Band, saw them July 9, 1976. Great show.
I have that LP and it's still in great condition.
Tom Scott planted the Jazz seed in my early on in the B/W TV days with the Starsky n' Hutch theme music ("Gotcha" from Blow it Out. A Fantastic Album!).
I have heard a Lot of Jazz over the years. And a Lot of Different Styles. But I have never heard Anyone who can consistently play so Far Behind the beat on solos as Tom Scott does.
LOL
Always loved Neil. A Man Needs a Maid just always kills me- such power, emotion, gravitas...basically singing about his house being dirty. You'd think it has some deep, philosophical meaning, rife with metaphors, but I heard him in an interview talking about it, and nope. He just put in some random thoughts & words, that sound good to him. That's pretty funny, right there!
I wasn't a big Roxy Music fan or anything, but always loved this song, and it just came up in my playlist for the first time in years.
And now, this one. One of my all time favorites. When artists talk about not wanting singles, because they want the album to be appreciated as a whole, this is what they're talking about. Best Christmas ever- getting this album, and some Koss headphones together. Every time I play this, I have to hear it over and over, start to finish- for a couple of weeks. Freakin' incredible music, and sadly, nobody will likely ever approach this level of excellence again.

"Smith was briefly considered for the lead singer position in Blue Öyster Cult. She contributed lyrics to several of the band's songs, including "Debbie Denise" (inspired by her poem "In Remembrance of Debbie Denise"), "Baby Ice Dog", "Career of Evil", "Fire of Unknown Origin", "The Revenge of Vera Gemini" (on which she performs duet vocals), and "Shooting Shark". She was romantically involved at the time with the band's keyboardist, Allen Lanier. During these years, Smith also wrote rock journalism pieces, some of which were published in Rolling Stone and Creem."
