Sunday in 3 (Part III, The Final Part)

Now you know the flow, and how Sundays do go...

With the extended lists provided in both parts I and II, I thought I would get to complete albums in succession. For today, I have chosen 3 fitting albums per "movement" - as the day flows, so does this music (for me). I could easily substitute more McLaughlin, any Miles, Jerry Garcia/JGB, Dylan, Band, Neil Young, Aretha, Otis, Duane, Curtis, Marvin, Wes, Stevie, Ray Charles, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Clapton, Coltrane, (and the list goes on, depending on the mood and day) etc, for the albums here. These are for the moment, the day, may they be ever-changing, as a profound soundtrack to life...

From continent to continent, genre to genre, tempo to tempo, Sunday sounds different I say. Listen for it. There is the beauty in the serenity of it's quiet morning, it's ease into the afternoon of activity mixed with the right amount of relaxation, into an introspective night of mental organization and preperation for the week ahead...

Check out the links for a listen, and enjoy! I hope I have helped you find some cool music, and your own style to Sunday, even if it's not like mine...

Part One:

Time Remembered (John McLaughlin)
...this arrangement of the Great Bill Evans' music is just gorgeous for all guitars! While there's no video on it, here's something to tie you over:




Real Live Road Running (Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris Live)
...both the studio and live record from this duet are stellar. I love the way their voices swirl one another occasionally clashing most of the time meshing, but all the while beautiful with soul and emotion...



O.C.M.S. (Old Crow Medicine Show)
...taking lyrics of an un-published Bob Dylan song they made the masterpiece Wagon Wheel, and picturing my friends in the south on their porches, relaxing with the Sunday breeze can hear the Sunday local blue-grass in the air...




Mid-Day
Part Two:

Inspiration Information (Shuggie Otis)
...a hero and inspiration to musicians, but virtually an unsung hero, this solo album was WAY ahead of it's time..




Exile on Main St (The Rolling Stones)
...pick a track, ANY track!




In Rainbows (Radiohead, can sub OK Computer for sure)
...this tune can put you in a subterranean world...



Evening/Night
Part Three:

Axis: Bold As Love (Jimi Hendrix)
...this album lands back in my lap every few months...it's baaaaack!



Houses of the Holy (Led Zeppelin)
...something remains the same more than the song... you can always learn something new from Zeppelin no matter how many listens you've had...




Gish (Smashing Pumpkins)
...I was a late bloomer with this record, but think even if you don't like this band, you can appreciate the production, creativity, musicianship and talent...some of my favorite songs all from this one record.



Happy Sundays!
