lemonstar Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I heard this song today and was feeling nostalgic for the music itself - I wondered what music I didn't know about of appreciate from this year. Maybe we can have a series of threads for different years. This was from an album released in 1970 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Good idea! For me, 1970 is all about this Bit of a leap from James Taylor, granted 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drTStingray Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) I too had the Black Sabbath album - there roadie lived in the flats near me and their white Ford truck was often parked outside. For me in 1970, a snapshot of music interest was - Free - Fire and Water; Jethro Tull - Aqualung; Ten Years After - Watt; The Faces first album. This track has what I consider one of Alvin Lee’s best guitar solos - from the album Watt - bass is pretty good as well. https://youtu.be/cwQp9CEGplE Edited December 30, 2021 by drTStingray 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldon Tyrell Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I was not around in 1970, so, I did some googeling and saw that this song got released in 1970. It has one of the first basslines I learned to play and I still enjoy playing it on my 74 P with flats: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigface Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I was 10 in 1970. This is the sort of thing I was listening to then, courtesy of my parents ... To be fair to them, they had a lot of good stuff too, like the Stones, Beatles, Trini Lopez, CCR, Ray Charles, Herb Alpert, Supremes, Elvis. I grew up with some good music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my first album in 78 and it is not what people think I would be into. Still have it! So, watch this space 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) I was just in junior school when this came out Soul Rebels is the second studio album by the Wailers, their first album to be released outside Jamaica. The Wailers approached producer Lee "Scratch" Perry in August 1970 to record an entire album, and the sessions took place at Randy's recording studio , also known as Studio 17 Edited January 1, 2022 by Reggaebass I’m not old enough to comment really 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howdenspur Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Layla - Derek and the Dominoes. Liked this a lot, despite some of the vocal histrionics from Bobby Whitlock. YMMV. Clapton is discussed at length on another thread but for me, with one or two exceptions song wise, this is the end of the good stuff he did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
