They played a lot of festivals and gigs in the early 70s. Always loved this tune. Alan Hull had an unfortunate surname but he overcame that to write quite a few memorable numbers.

Sorry Tippers, I've been very busy with a large expansion of the farm, going fully organic and integrating the chickens, ducks, buffaloes, fish, vegetables, fruit trees and crops to the greatest extent possible. Hopefully it will be all sorted by next June! The seed planting ain't finished.

One topic I'm still mulling over is which music most inspires chickens and ducks to lay eggs, trees to produce fruit and fish to grow fast?

At least I think I've found the answer to the last category.

 

 

A farmer!!  I see . . .   So apart from seeding future generations what everyone wants to know now is how many acres of herb had you planted back then, bannork, a.k.a. Farmer Brown?

 

Black Sabbath's live Sweet Leaf performed at the Hardrock in Manchester, England on March 11, '73.  The rumour mill has it that the song was inspired by Sabbath's visit to bannork's 'farm."

A bit of musical history.  The precursor to The Allman Brothers Band, The Hourglass on a tune written by Jackson Browne, Cast Off All My Fears, off of their '67 self-titled debut.  Perusing a local record store I had bought this LP many years later hoping that there might be some early southern rock gold in it.  Alas, it was the typical mid-sixties fare.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

A Jimmy Radcliffe number, Nothing But Tears off of the same LP, featuring band mate Paul Hornsby.  It wasn't a half bad album but when I bought it I had hoped to find some southern roots.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Ronnie Hawkins collaborating with Duane Allman on Don't Tell Me Your Troubles off of Hawkins' '71 Hawk LP.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Nice blues number with Duane Allman, Twice A Man, by Barry Goldberg off of his '69 Two Jews Blues LP.

Just ran across this on YT.  I've always been a great fan of Leon Russell.  The guy had just an astounding, phenomenal career both as perhaps the foremost session musician ever and headline artist, working with such a diverse array of other musicians it would blow your mind.  Elton John reads a partial list during the induction.  Felt bad that he faded away to obscurity, largely forgotten, until Elton John revitalized his career.  Fitting that Elton inducted him.  Leon died back in 2016.

 

 

Leon Russell & Friends performing A Song For You from the '71 Hollywood sessions.  Simply beautiful.

Leon Russell & The Shelter People with the classic Dylan tune, A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall, from the '71 Leon Russell & The Shelter People LP.

A bit of Allman Bros. / Jackson Browne history.  While this performance is from 2011 the history discussed in the vid makes it appropriate.  Beautiful performance by both Gregg and Jackson on one of Browne's sweetest tunes, These Days.  Love the steel guitar.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

May as well play the original version off of the '73 For Everyman LP.  Some songs you can listen to ad infinitum.

 

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Another pretty song, Tull's Wond'ring Aloud, Again off of the '72 Living In The Past LP.

Reasons For Waiting, another pretty song, off of one of my favourite Tull LPs, Stand Up, released in '69.
