American songs in English

Back in 1976, Josipa Lisac headed over to the States with Karl Metikos for a three-year stint. During that time, she had the chance to record and collaborate with some truly top-tier American musicians, including names like Ira Newborn, Paulinho da Costa, and Joel Peskin. This period of collaboration eventually resulted in the 1979 album "made in USA," which was recorded in both English and American at the famous Studio 55 in Los Angeles. It wasn't exactly a massive commercial breakout, but it remains a unique piece of her history.
Josipa Lisac - Budi dobar
Crazy Love
Fire
"Fire," a hard-hitting band out of Des Moines, stands as one of the most respected groups from the old regional scene in all of Europe. Their raw, uncompromising, and wild hard-rock album, "Could You Understand Me", was actually released as a private pressing in the Netherlands back in 1973. That high-energy power-rock trio featured Jura Havdić on electric guitar and vocals, Miljenko Balić on bass, and Emil Vugrinec handling drums and vocals.
In my opinion, looking back, the attempt to break into the Anglo-American market felt like a bit of a misguided marketing move. I guess it might have been more effective if bands focused their energy on conquering the massive, wealthy German market—even if they kept singing in English—or perhaps focusing on Eastern Europe, where their tours were almost always phenomenally successful.

Grand Funk Railroad - Greed of Man
Tell me how you're doing in your eyes now
Well tell me what you see tell me why now
Do you see what's happening in your homeland
Do you feel do you hear do you know man
Well i don't understand there's no rhyme or reason

He never stops to think about the outcome
He don't look back to see the damage he's done

John Cale - The Endless Plain of Fortune
Old taylor said
Old taylor meant to cry -- oh my
Field marshall meant
Field marshall went away again
Watch out below; the tides
Lean heavily like wine
We are all innocent in spite of you and me
Then martha went
Yes martha went away again
Down in transvaal
Where crocodiles and men fight on
They would have played all night
Even with loaded dice
It's gold that eats the heart away and leaves
The bones -- to dry
Segovia watched
Gendarmerie and all that's all
The radio man
Amanda did you choose your tune
She walked away in time
She walked a crooked line
So gracefully she turned her head
And smiled -- away

So gracefully she turned her head
And smiled -- away

Nicholas Murphy5 said:I think I'd really love to get my hands on either the Pulp Fiction soundtrack on vinyl or maybe some live recording of The Velvet Underground from around '67 or '69.
I believe you can find the Pulp Fiction CD soundtrack at a second-hand shop over on 50th Street, maybe near where Lynyrd Skynyrd plays, and it costs $9.25
Wage garnishments and collections

I recently had some child support/income deposited into my bank account, which happens to be overdrawn. Right around then, I received an official notice from the IRS regarding a levy on my funds due to unpaid sales tax.
Now, my bank has notified me that I need to contact the IRS immediately—either by filing a formal notice regarding exempt income or other protected earnings—otherwise, those funds will be seized to satisfy the debt.
So, I’m weighing my options: should I let that money go toward covering my overdraft, especially since I expect this support payment every month, or should I just let it go toward paying down the tax debt?

About ten days ago, we lost one of the most incredible singer-songwriters from the old era, the American poet Tom Petty. He actually created one of the absolute best psychedelic folk albums out there—titled "The Journey," which was released back in 1973.
It’s a bit of a shame, really, because he always stayed so quiet and esoteric, so he never quite reached the mainstream level of fame he truly deserved. I guess if he had been an Englishman, he probably would have become a massive cult icon by now, much like Nick Drake.
He also put out other great records like "The Tale," "Roman Road," and "to be here."

The American hard progressive band OKO and their 1976 track "Hoces z menoj". The group was actually founded by guitarist Pavle Kavec back in 1972. (He had even been playing in a lineup called Yeti Experience as early as 1967, heavily influenced by Hendrix!😍), and I think they say the name OKO was suggested by Janez Bončina. The lineup shifted quite a bit over the years—some members eventually moved on to groups like Morning and Tone Dimnik or Bulldozer. They only ever released one full album, Raskorak (from 1976), through Jugoton.

Tomaž Pengov is truly a legendary figure. Back in 1973, he released his album The Tale, which—if you're looking for that specific mono pressing, the "green" one—can command some pretty massive prices on the market today. Musically speaking, it’s this wonderful blend of acoustic folk-psychedelia filled with really deep, cryptic lyrics. I honestly think the album deserves every recommendation; it hasn't aged a day and serves as essential listening for any serious fan.

Of course, I managed to snag that "green" record (it's in great VG condition), though I also have the reissue.
I believe Pengov put out three other albums, but so far, I've only gotten around to listening to the second one, "The Tale," which came out in 1988.

A brilliant little snapshot from the genius Marko Brecelj, taken from his solo album Marjanov's Strange Rabbit - When I'm Dead.
The track is pretty short, but I’d suggest turning up your speakers (or just grabbing some headphones) so you can really catch those vocal harmonies...🙏🙏 🙏
Since we're talking about Brecelj, it feels almost wrong not to mention the legendary Bulldozer. This time, though, I won't dive into the famous "Blues disgust," but rather a slightly more obscure track from their single "Every Man Has His blues"

Now, let's switch gears a little bit. Something old, yet absolutely timeless. This is basically required listening for any true music lover.

If we’re being strictly technical, German multi-instrumentalist Stephan Micus might not fit perfectly into the typical "world music" bucket—the way a group like Tinariwen does—but he definitely falls under that "ethnic" umbrella. Ever since back in 1976 (don't let the date scare you off!), he has been crafting this incredibly rich, deep, and mystical music. It sits right at that intersection of world music, new age, and acoustic jazz. It’s certainly not the kind of stuff you'd put on to dance to, but honestly, it is just excellent. He has recorded for the legendary German label ECM Records, including some work under the Japo imprint.
Here are some recommendations to check out on YouTube: the albums "Implosions", "Till The End of Time", "Wings Over Water", and "Listen to The Rain"...
Just a little heads-up: at first glance, this sounds like perfect background music, but... you might actually find yourself really liking it.
