Five Things I Saw & Heard This Week
Transcripts from the everyday world of music by Martin Colyer
I’m away, so there is no 5 Things this week. Apropos of last week’s talk of Robert Cray and Deborah Feingold, here’s my favourite pic of The Swampers, the rhythm section at Muscle Shoals Sound, taken by Deborah in 1982. Her portraits of jazz musicians are something else. Check them out here.

I recently found this isolated vocal track of “Going, Going, Gone” from Planet Waves. It doesn’t seem to be the released take, but it’s fascinating to hear Bob’s unadorned singing [apart from some interesting chords and riffs on his acoustic guitar]. It’s impassioned and dramatic, and the timing is fantastic — listen to the delays on the title phrase.
