Remembering Shel Talmy!

“‘Cause he gets up in the morning
And he goes to work at nine
And he comes back home at five-thirty
Gets the same train every time
‘Cause his world is built ’round punctuality
It never fails”

Well Respected Man

Remembering Shel Talmy!

“And he's oh, so good
And he's oh, so fine
And he's oh, so healthy
In his body and his mind
He's a well respected man about town
Doing the best things so conservatively”

Enjoy!

Jamming With Edward - Nicky Hopkins, Ry Cooder, Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman & Charlie Watts

Now here's a real curiosity. During recording sessions for Let It Bleed, Keith Richards had left the studio, apparently upset that Ry Cooder had been brought in as a session guitarist.
The remaining Stones, along with Cooder and Nicky Hopkins, a leading session pianist (known by the band, for some reason, as Edward) spent the time jamming. Their efforts were recorded, and this album is the result.
It's pretty much what you'd expect from a jam by a group of leading R & B musicians - great fun but no classic.
