The Listening Project–Supplemental Blog 9

It has been a bit since a Listening Project blog and as you can see from the healthy list below I have not slowed down in my (seeming) quest to own every CD.  I got a few of these for 4 / $1 at the resale shop closest to us and the rest are from the clearance racks at various Half Priced Book Stores.

  • Tree 63 “The Answer To The Question Expanded Edition”: I have the non expanded version of this album and the expanded version has 5 more songs (though 3 are just acoustic versions of other songs on the CD).  I miss this band.  Their lead singer went back to South Africa and now his lyrics are more political in nature (which is fine if only I cared about South African politics).
  • Various Artists “Charlie And The Chocolate Factory Soundtrack”: I bought this for $0.25 solely for the WIlly Wonka theme song (this is from the Tim Burton version of this film).
  • Various Artists “Chicago”: I bought this solely for the Cell Block Tango (and then he ran into my knife, he ran into my knife 10 times).
  • Carman “The Best Of The Early Years”:  I used to have Carman’s first 2 albums on cassette but they are long since gone.  They were both live albums and it was good to hear those songs again.
  • George Winston “December”: I only bought this as it was on the Windam Hill label.  I remember hearing about this when an artist on that label named Pierce Pettis covered a Randy Stonehill song that I liked.  When you are only spending $0.25, it does not take much to get into my basket.  This is instrument keyboard music and I like it.
  • Kenny G “Faith, A Holiday Album” & “Miracles, The Holiday Album”: This along with the Barry Manilow Christmas CD should make our holiday music list just about complete come December.
  • Various Artists “In The Name Of Love - Africa Celebrates U2”: You cannot even recognize some of these songs (and I know every U2 song by heart).  Still worth the listen though and since my music player on my main computer in the living room connects to Wikipedia, I had fun reading about all the artists on this album.
  • Roberta Flack “Softly With These Songs - The Best Of Roberta Flack”: I am still amazed at the quality of music I can get for $1 (and how something like this makes it to the clearance rack).
  • Tony Bennett “The Ultimate Tony Bennett”: Awesome.

At one point in time I listened to Kenny G (Faith, A Holiday Album) then Type O Negative (I Know What You Did Last Summer Soundtrack) then Waldemar Bastos (In The Name Of Love - Africa Celebrates U2).  I would dare to say that I might be the only person on the planet or who ever lived who listened to those 3 artists back to back to back.
