Some session musicians should have done more on their own thanks to the immense prowess they kept showing many times. Well, Carol Kaye, one of the best session bassists, sadly didn't do much on solowise, though we have to understand – she worked quite a lot. Still, one wishes she would've done more of her jazz trips, where she basically presented us with a major reason for her success. You see, she appears to be a jazzist at heart and this gave her a great playing field for her job. This also tells me one thing I must mention in our discussion here – the fact that session musicians are disappearing is terrible. They are probably another source of our listening enjoyment of the old pop chestnuts, their presence remains severely missed.

The 60's are not that clear-cut at all. I mean, Love – the band, not the real thing – are probably the group that dealt with the complexities of the period thanks to them being not as successful as they should've ben and also thanks to them having a different perspective. Forever Changes, their masterpiece, serves as a warning, since Arthur Lee, their frontman, felt something was off with the flower power movement. Thus, the platter resembles a chronicle of someone who noticed how all hopes slipped away, yet that person still cherishes the memory of the emotions, which were promised by these hopes. I could be cheeky here and call Forever Changes one of the early examples of the famous Mark Fisher term, though that would have been too much.

♫ The Beat Goes On ♫

Our friend rawgod has reminded me a few times in recent weeks that he sent me a list of songs a while back that I have failed to play, so I decided I should check the list and see if I could play a few, since I think he’s mildly annoyed that I haven’t done so yet!  So, I went in search of the list, which took a while, for he sent it in January 2021!  But alas, I did finally find it and found…
