Chelsea Morning – Joni Mitchell- really, really nice. OK I blew this one off. It IS nice, tho’
Cherry Hill Park – Billy Joe Royal-To me, the vocals have a Bobby James kinda vibe. It is pretty racy for it’s time. Great bridge.
China Cat Sunflower – Grateful Dead-Just when I started to think it was redundant, this thing really takes off. Loved it.
Choice Of Colors – The Impressions -Rock NYC correspondent Bob Nevin gave me an Impressions compilation CD long ago that I regretfully lost. I should just go to Amazon and but all their stuff. Some of the most incredibly soulful grooves I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing.
Cinnamon Girl – Neil Young/Crazy Horse-Brilliant how the handclaps double with the snare drum. Neil, double tracked and harmonizing with himself. Great in every way. That one note guitar solo, I can go on and on. Love everything about it.
Cissy Strut – The Meters-More New Orleans funk. This is just slaying me. Kind of an eye opener to have so much music like this during this year. Note to self, 1969 was a great year for soul music.
Clean Up Your Own Back Yard – Elvis Presley-Even this one is uber soulful and funky.
Cold Turkey – The Plastic Ono Band-Dr. Winston O’ Boogie at the height of his powers
Color Him Father – The Winstons – more incredible soul from 1969. So far, thats the big revelation during this listening session.
