During the 70s, Jamaica’s music industry had no international copyright agreements, which meant anyone could cover a song “legally” and not have to pay royalties to the original artist. This helped push the popularity of Reggae, internationally and at home, and gave us hundreds of classics with a Jamaican slant, like this cover of Procol Harum’s [...]

Keith Reid 2nd from right As long-time reader's of The Hut know, Keith Reid , the lyricist for the great artrock band, Procol Harum , is one of my favorite little known songwriters. Reid, like Robert Hunter of the Grateful Dead, is a default member of the band and, since neither plays an instrument in performance, both suffer from a deplorable lack of recognition. I've written about the Reid and the...

The important thing to remember is that I didn’t set out to make this mix as it is. The initial concept was to pull out the box of CDs I seldom listen to and pull tracks from them. It is not a judgment call as to why the Beasties’ Hello Nasty is down there on the [...]

On Friday nights at midnight in 1967 an Irish dance hall on the Tottenham Court Road was transformed into a drug-fuelled rock club called UFO (which stood for Underground Freak Out rather than unidentified flying objects). The promotional artwork and surreal advertising posters for the club caused a sensation. They were created by a witty, clever 25-year-old artist, Michael English.

From 1973, and his quite wonderful first solo album, please enjoy "Going for a Song," Procol Harum organist Matthew Fisher 's melodically charming and hilarious kiss-off to his ex-bandmates (and to a certain hit record he would later sue to gain authorship of). It's not that I dislike the words Though I must admit there are better words around But every time I hear that tune It really brings...

Well, there really isn't any connection, but with that in the headline, I figured I'd get a few new BlueNotes readers. Meanwhile, there are a couple special shows coming up this weekend that I want to mention. Tomorrow night (9/25), rock guitarist Robin Trower (I'm sure you all remember Procol Harum !) plays the Palace Theater in Greensburg. If you're going, make sure you get there for the opening...
