Into the Purple Valley or up the Purple Aki?

I wouldn't mind checking out the original.
Of course you can do that now, back in 1972, less so.

This is so charming.
The way Calypso was used as a kind of musical newsreel for the locals.

Chas and Dave wrote their own songs, this is more like Eric Clapton bring old blues songs back the exciting modern sound of the early 70s.

FDR was a good American president.
Him and Truman.
All crud after that.

For some reason, I've heard this one before.

You'll probably be somewhat unsurprised that I grew up with this album from when it came out.

It's so much more restrained and reverential to the material.
Ry Cooder is a gentle soul and a scholar of Americana.
Clapton is a jaded, passive-aggressive turd.

It does sound familiar.
It wasn't on the err... film he did with Steve Via was it?

Is it a glockenspiel?
