Kevin Gilbert - Taxi Ride (Jane Siberry cover)


What a gorgeous tune. It's very Blue Nile. KG even sounds a bit like Buchanan when he gets up there. Closing in on 29 years since KG's death at age 29. Middle of next month, anyway.

I remember him from your Toy Matinee posts. The guy who co-wrote most of Sheryl Crow's first album before she ditched him. Would like to hear Nuts, Bolts and The Shaming Of The True but he's hard to find on streaming services.

I'm still in a classic rock phase and am giving Mott The Hoople's breakthrough album All The Young Dudes a metaphorical spin. Bowie gave it a great production job. Probably gonna check out some of Ian Hunter's solo work with Mick Ronson next.

Yeah, there are a few individual tracks from those three here and there but nothing consistent. Sort of lucked out finding that one on Dailymotion and it could disappear.

Thud and No Reasons Given show up in their entirety on Spotify under KG as artist, and Toy Matinee is on there as well under Toy Matinee.

This one's on both the Gentle Giant tribute and Shaming, inspired by a GG track I posted just recently and very much in the theme of the latter album, being about an up-and-coming artist sort of overwhelmed by the vampirism of the industry.

Kevin Gilbert - Suit Fugue

I still remember hearing about his death on the radio the following day. Toy Matinee had been and still is a firm anchor for my musical tastes.

One of my favorites. Mick Ralphs took "Ready For Love" from that with him to Bad Company. I still hesitate to call Bad Company's version a cover given that the songwriter was a member of the band.

I see what you mean by "It's very Blue Nile". He gives it that same emotional commitment and rawness as Paul Buchanan. I'm sorry to say I never really heard of Kevin Gilbert before now. It looks like I've got a new rabbit hole to dive into.

I hope you have better luck than I did finding any of his stuff besides the three albums mentioned above.

Jee Veerey - Bloodywood

I've loaded up a couple of Fauré recordings I've owned in various forms since 1988 (in the case of the Requiem) and 2010. The bonus sacred tracks are hearteasingly beautiful and thoroughly recommended by me.

I like this song in slow motion...so cool and hip!!

Back when Jeezy was in his prime. This album contains „Hustlaz Ambition“, which is by far my favorite song by him.

One of my favorite albums ever. Always makes me feel nostalgic.

I shall be tripping down to the cinema tonight to listen to and see this.
