The Doc Project

Love this sign posted by our local movie theater — very Telluride! And, it was a good reminder for me to mention that 3-5 new songs from The Doc Project are indeed “definitely coming sometime.” The tentative plan is to record spring/summer and release in the fall. Stay tuned!

Really inspiring to watch blues legend , age 86, give an amazing performance at “so funky it’s gonna smell” — he did not disappoint. Also, big props to his band 🔥🔥🔥 I can’t find their names listed, but they deserve a special shout out!

I've been listening to a lot of Jimmy Cliff lately, thinking about new material, and getting inspired.

I love it when I come across a stash of songs that were once favorites of mine but I kinda forgot about for one reason or another. In this case, I’ve rediscovered the songs Sooner or Later, Many Rivers to Cross, and Let Your Yeah Be Yeah — all such great, soulful songs.

Also, I really enjoyed coming across the clip below of Jimmy Cliff and Paul Simon playing Mother and Child Reunion together at Hyde Park in London. In my blog post "Horns: Credit Where Credit Is Due," I write about the overlooked importance of horns -- even simple parts -- in so many genres of rock. If you watch this video, notice how much the song gets a lift at 2:22 when the sax and trumpet come in. As Cliff and the lead guitar wail joyfully above, the song is taken to another level like a boat lifting out of the water when it starts to plane.
