That feeling when you have to spend hours re-booking a complex cross-country train journey due to rail workers deciding to strike, but having read up on the strike reasons you completely side with the rail workers.

Maybe the Germans have a word for it.

1000 Day Album Challenge (#36) Sly & The Family Stone: Fresh (1973) [05.02.24]

something could have come and taken me away / but the mainman felt Sly should be here another day…

I am in a distinct minority that prefers Fresh to Sly & The Family Stone’s acknowledged masterpiece, There’s A Riot Goin On (1971). I recognize the achievement and cultural landmark Riot is, but when push comes to shove I am more likely to listen to Fresh, Sly’s last great album. the albums after that have their moments, but no sustained excellence.

from 1967 through 1973, there are only a handful of bands that achieved both critical and commercial success on par with S&TFS – The Beatles, The Stones, Creedence, and James Brown & The JBs. no one else comes to mind. S&TFS are the only one who seems no longer to be a part of the shared cultural landscape and to me, that’s a shame. among people around my age and older I’m sure they still have plenty of fans, but their influence and significance has not been passed on to the succeeding generations.

Brian Eno sites Fresh as a key album in the evolution of the recording process: “Then, from the time of Sly and the Family Stone’s Fresh album, there’s a flip over, where the rhythm instruments, particularly the bass drum and bass, suddenly become the important instruments in the mix. A timbral change also takes place. The bass becomes a very defined instrument; by the use of amplitude control filters, the bass actually begins to take on a very vocal attack. The bass drum gains a more physical sound, and also has a click to it; generally you’ll find that bass drums are equalized very heavily, something like 1000-1500 cycles, to give a real sharp click. It becomes the loudest instrument in disco — watch the vu meter while a disco track is playing, and you’ll see the needle peak each time the bass drum hits.” (https://beatpatrol.wordpress.com/2010/02/10/brian-eno-the-studio-as-compositional-tool-1983/)

I might love Fresh for turning me onto Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be) alone. Sly’s version. Rose Stone takes the lead vocal on the verses and Sly takes over on the chorus. one must be infused with “the funk” to transform a Doris Day classic into such a sweet funky groove. there are number of other can’t miss tracks on this album – In Time, If You Want Me to Stay, Let Me Have It All, If It Were Left Up to Me, and Babies Makin’ Babies.
