The "what are you listening to now" thread

This phrase was going through my head all night last night - "What's going on?"

Warren Zevon - "Carmelita"

Sometimes songs or parts of them bubble up out of my memories for no explicable reason. Can't remember the last time I heard this song; been a while though. For two days I've been haunted by the melody from the line "I think I'm sinkin' down."

Trying to get shed of it, listened to several versions on YouTube.

I love all of John Willams music. And I just listened to Great American Songwriters with Irving Berlin.

Everybody remembers this tune, and many singers have recorded it, but not many of us realize from whence it came.... from a prison film, 1955.. "Unchained"... sort of gives the lyrics a different depth ...

Stages of Grief

"Our Town" written and performed by Iris DeMent

Heard a cover of Iris' song on The Barndance this morning. Brought a tear to my eye thinking of Friday's vote in the senate.

Three years ago I just couldn't believe it. Yesterday felt like sober acceptance of what we have lost.

Ella Fitzgerald - "God Bless the Child"

Spotify sent me James Taylor's new cover of this great old Billie Holiday song from his soon to be released American Standard album. Looking forward to listening to all of it. But I prefer the original, or even more, Ella Fitzgerald's version.

Oh wow SL...I can't wait for that new album with James Taylor! He's yet another old guy who rules. I adore the old standards and he has the perfect voice for them.
Thanks for the heads up.
