Yup thats it. Was out and about and didnt have time to reference it for sure.
Lowell was extremely talented. Had an ear for good unique sound. Im glad he continued with the direction of the band despite creative differences within. Real shame he was lost so young and early. Ive no doubt he would have continued to make amazing music with time. And Ive no doubt he would have been better known. That being said musicians who know who was really great give him credit often.
And it was that Altec record I first heard Joan. Oddly enough I was about 19 or so and it was around the year 2000. Me and a close now gone friend found that LP by chance. We were both blown away by her performance. Bought the album, it could have been better, was off. Wonderful album start to finish.
I remember with that same friend in the same stash of LPs we also discovered the self titled Phoebe Snow LP. You know the one ;) And we both were just blown away and dug it from then on. Real shame she never found her footing so to say. I recently learned of her real life story. Wow, what a sad story. Her love for her challenged daughter is heart warming and breaking at the same time. As a single dad of a 6 y/o I just cant imagine what life may have been like for her trying to balance a performer's life and raising a special needs daughter on her own. Folks can say what they will about Howard Stern (and Im not a huge fan) but wow did he do a heart felt job eulogizing her passing on his show. And it really comes across just how much he liked her and her talent. Cant say I heard anyone else in mainstream media showing such an effort after her death. She was a massive talent and a true human being.
Hope you have fun at the Joan show.
