Roy's voice was at its absolute peak when he cut that album. Some of the tracks are little-known gems. Here's one. Great choice. That Nashville sound is so haunting. You can absolutely hear echoes of Patsy Cline and Owen Bradley. In Dreams is my favorite Orbison song. Speaking of which, I've just got to post this one with Patsy in her gold boots. You earned them, Patsy. Through my eyes, I Love Melvin, the Decca arrow didn't detract from the charm of the cover either... The Sha Na Na didn't stop at the boots:

I feel like Pete Townshend here, hopelessly trying to come up with a response worthy of your intellect - go to about 21:59 and then listen Your love of Pete Townshend is proving very helpful. His little credit card wobble took me off track. Now whenever I see an interview of him popping up in my YouTube algorithm, I stop in for a listen. I hesitate to mention one I really love because he peeped behind the Woodstock wizard's curtain which you said was a pivotal moment for you. But it is a great interview - Shelley Winters of all people is there - talking about the punk rock movie she intends to make. I appreciate the neural diversity here because I can't hold a candle to you or Peter Dennis Blandford Townshend but I am trying. This movie soundtrack reminds me of my twin best friends' brother - a HUGE Who fan who happened to look like Jimmy. The attacks on Heather are unbelievably heartbreaking. A very à propos post on International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Will we never be set free from hatred and fear? I have no illusions about Pete Townshend the man, galacticgirrrl, and probably wish I'd never "...peeped behind the Woodstock wizard's curtain..." - bowing to your unmatchable metaphorical style. I'm a bit intrigued by Heather Reisman and have read at least one negative comment thrown at the bookworm mogul, so I'm glad to read your defense of her. "...while there are men, there can be no peace." - Charles Beaumont As to Jimmy's substitute, I can picture him proudly exclaiming: "Tell 'em who I look like, tell 'em who I look like!" What, you thought I was referencing the WHO song??

Wayne Kramer died about two days ago... Wayne Kramer was mentored by John Sinclair, the MC5's manager, who once received a 9-10 prison sentence on a marijuana bust that Abbie Hoffman briefly protested at the original Woodstock Festival which got him whacked by a chippy Pete Townshend defending his stage:

Wayne Kramer died about two days ago... OMG I feel like I have just been sucker punched. I so loved him, flaws and all. Seeing him live was magical, beyond impressive. It was one of those special shows where every musician in town was in the audience. Damn. He was writing and playing right up to the end. Alice Cooper and Detroit Stories and... In March 2022, Kramer declared “I’ve been thinking it’s been a long time since there’s been any new MC5 music... I’ve been busy writing and recording a new album produced by the great Bob Ezrin. And we’ll take it to the streets ‘cause I feel like we are all MC5.”The Clash refer to Kramer's drug troubles in their 1977 song "Jail Guitar Doors", whose title has been adopted for an initiative set up by Billy Bragg to provide prison inmates with musical equipment. I loved his telling of the parking lot bit in MC5 : A True Testimonial

Don't recall ever reading about "Jail Guitar Doors"... Regarding your rock music and movie knowledge: Damn, galacticgirrrl. I am impressed by your multi-tasking abilities - posting here whilst in the eCinema. I should have added to that music in prison bit I Never Knew This Before - all credit to the dreaded all too handy wiki

I'm having a hard time reconciling this sweet face with the one with the fly crawling over it at the end of Psycho, but that's on me, I guess. Like Tab Hunter, Tony had a career as a singer and even starred in the musical Greenwillow on Broadway.

This single made it to #24 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Anthony Perkins was a fan-mag heartthrob in the 50's.

Pyscho never scared me until I found out it was a docudrama(ish). Then: YIKES! From what I can hear of Tony's album on the internets, it is good stuff. As if there would be any doubt. I loved the way so many actors could sing and put out albums with the goods. Some do this now but not as many I don't think!? Or probably they all do these days and it is just me and my digital disconnect. I wish I had this one... But this is what the bargain bin turned up pour mois. C'est la vie et aussi c'est formidable.

Thought of you, I Love Melvin, with the following for both its guilty pleasure and accompanying album cover: Party like it's 1970. Love it. It puts me in mind of Capitol's Ultra-Lounge series of compilation CD's. I'm a huge fan of Enoch Light and The Light Brigade, purveyors of some of the most over-the-top mood music ever.

I can't tell you how much I love Glenn Jones' album covers. The images are all from Victorian postcards. I read that Jones found the first one and was smitten, so he made it the mission to make it his "thing." I'm so glad he did. I'm of the opinion that these are probably the happiest album covers of all time. Here are a few:
