What Are You Listening To At This Moment?

The United States of America (1968)...a huge influence on later bands such as Stereolab and Broadcast.

The American Way of Love is a great track, like a smorgasbord of great psychedelia. I hear Zappa, early Floyd, even some Beach Boys and Beatles in there! Heard it on the Georgia Tech radio station a few years ago, been a favorite ever since.

Indeed. It's a shame it didn't get the exposure and recognition it should have when it was released. It was a fräulein in Nürnberg who introduced me to this record in 1982.

Bonnie Raitt's sultry version of "Angel from Montgomery". Pithy lament of the lyrics wrapped in sad yet mellifluous melody. Just a beautiful song.

 

And the angelic harmonies version (I wish there were a better quality of this performance. It screams for clarity):

 

And speaking of beautiful live harmonies:

The dobro player, Jerry Douglas, starting at around 4:25 and around 101:00:00 onwards -stunning! They're all exceptional musicians in their own right, and elevate the whole together, but different parts resonate with different listeners. This concert spoils you for choice of favourite moments.
