^ Haven`t listened to PP and M for years. If you could recommend a Sinatra song that has better than average lyrics, I`d be very interested; maybe a story song, or something with extensive vocabulary ...

He didn't get the job, but he did record two tracks with the Stones for their 1976 album Black and Blue, "Hot Stuff" and "Memory Motel." |
^ I remember dipping into this guy`s stuff a while ago, Psy-Fi; a nice mellow tone, but tbh I found his sound a little tame, a little dated, you know, not like his haircut...
My latest enthusiasm probably sounds dated too:
Boz Scagg`s self-titled album from 1969 has the singer and Duane Allman producing a top quality blend of blues rock and Americana. Thanks to Rostasi and Necromancer for this one.
