Mrowster#RobertChristgau hipped me to #ManfredMannsEarthBand's self-titled first album, a record altogether more diverse, eccentric, and moving than anything that band subsequently gave us. It's crowning jewel is a yearning cover of #RandyNewman's "Living Without You" - a true reinvention, beating their later hit Springsteen cover 6 ways to Sunday.

THE SILHOUETTES - "GET A JOB" (1957)
I dreamt that music critic #RobertChristgau and I were in a large, high-ceilinged room where he housed his massive record collection. I asserted that the best #SteelyDan song of all isn't found on any Dan album; rather it was the Becker/Fagen-penned "American Lovers" that #ThomasJeffersonKaye once recorded. He nodded his approval, danced around a bit, and sang the lyrics back to me a cappella: "You may be the last to walk in the garden / Your life should be living to love one another / And it is no crime to walk with your brother"
American Lovers (Fagen/Becker) - Thomas Jefferson Kaye
