A full-blooded Kiowa Indian, Davis played in country star Conway Twitty’s band in his native Oklahoma before moving to Los Angeles and quickly picking up session work backing Gary Lewis. After playing on Taj Mahal’s first three albums, Davis amassed a resume of sessions that included Albert King and B.B. King, John Lennon, Harry Nilsson, Gene Clark, and Rod Stewart, as well as standout solos on Bob Dylan’s “Watching The River Flow” and Jackson Browne’s “Doctor My Eyes.” In the late ’80s, Davis wrote and played the music for the poetry of Indian activist John Trudell, their band was called Graffiti Man. After battling drug and alcohol problems most of his career, Davis died of an apparent overdose at age 43.
I've still got the Thick as a Brick and Aqualung LPs - nothing to play them on though! Many similar LPs I disposed of when I upgraded to CD or download, which means I've haven't updated those, something I need to investigate. I must try to find on Spotify, so thanks for the reminder.
I'm on my daily play of unplayed tracks - just had a couple by Miles Davis, next up Page and Plant Wah Wah, followed by a couple of Paul McCartney tracks.

Much trepidation with my UK Heads friends over how this is going to arrive and how much import duty it will cost. Don't think any have landed in the UK yet. 1983 is a bit out of my comfort zone but I like most of the set list. The bonus tracks being in the middle of the 3-cd set is a bit of a buzz killer I must say. Do you like?
Akuma no Uta - Boris. Always loved the cover to this album with it's Nick Drake reference (Bryter Layter). (Mainly because I used to be a bit hard and unforgiving with soppy Drake fans.) What I didn't realize was that a *ahem* later version of the album was expanded to be exactly the same length as the Drake record.

I have to be honest, not my favorite Dave's Pick. The first set seems like they are blowing through tunes too fast. It has My Brother Esau, which is rare but not a favorite for me; for whatever reason I never liked the cover of Woman Smarter and the Satisfaction cover fails to satisfy. But Franklin's Tower>Slipknot and Throwing Stones are quite good, US Blues is a great closer. And if you want to hear Little Star, this is just about it.
I hate the filler was added in the middle of the show, but that can be solved with a set list. I do not understand why they break up a show like that, I assume the show was just barely over 2CDs worth, which is why they have so much filler. I have been a subscriber from the first, so I can't complain too much, but the series is usually more entertaining.
I'm very happy to add my vinyl to my iTunes library. Such a terrific voice. Between the garden and converting some of my albums, it's been a busy summer. I couldn't think of a better way to spend my retirement. Joan Armatrading 1975 Back To The Night 1977 Show Some Emotion 1978 To The Limit 1980 Me Myself I 1983 The Key

Let's hope it's just a holiday or music burn out and not jump to hasty conclusions. Wishing for the best in any event.
