David Axelrod • Song Of Innocence.........Spotify
Thanks for posting this! I had fun learning about David Axelrod, and this album, this morning. Listening to it on Tidal now.
"His inspiration was Songs of Innocence, English poet William Blake's watershed collection of poems; Axelrod set seven of them to music using a bevy of studio musicians and a lot of clout at the label. Using a rock orchestra, Axelrod created a suite that blended pop, rock, jazz, theater music, and R&B that has withstood the test of time, and has been revisited and sampled by electronica pioneers such as DJ Shadow and DJ Cam. Perhaps the best known tune of this mystical mixture is the jazzed out, slow groove of "Holy Thursday," with its bluesy bop piano lines and huger than huge string section playing a vamp from a Count Basie tune. Meanwhile, the rhythm section floats a steady, swinging rhythm to the guitars and brass who answer with dramatic harmonics centered around a complex yet elegant melodic, and the guitar itself screams overhead. It's a jazz boogaloo with classical overtones." -

1. Bad driver replaced
2. New SDA cable and speak on connectors
3. 2 new RDO-194 silk dome tweeters installed
4. Disconnect the dimensional tweeters
Sounds great well at least to me.

Agree! I have some old vinyl by him I need to dig out. Haven't heard any of his stuff in years.

The softer side of Chicago, west-side blues and all all-time favorite. A contemporary of Dawkins.

First artist I know of to creatively incorporate clearing his throat into his vocal styling.
Great talent! He and James Brown were the hot acts when I was in high school. -

Heard some Walter Trout with Joe Bonamassa this weekend on the campus radio station blues show I think it was. In any event, it kicked azz.
