Stevie Winwood - Roll With It

[dreaminginthedeepsouth]

Song of the Day - “Can’t Find My Way Home” Today marks the 55th anniversary/birthday of Blind Faith. This short-lived but magical band formed today, February 8th, 1969, in Berkshire, in England… Made up of Stevie Winwood, Eric Clapton, Rick Grech, and Ginger Baker, Blind Faith were a beautiful asteroid… They existed for just one year, did one brief tour, and gifted us exactly one album. And it was enough. If all they left us was this one song, it would be plenty. “Can’t Find My Way Home” was written by Stevie Winwood, and, as nice as the original recording is (except for the overly-loud tambourine) .. do yourself the great favor of listening to Stevie doing this second recording of Stevie doing the song solo while sitting at his hearth… I saw Stevie and Eric on a tour they did right around this time, at Madison Square Garden, and that stellar voice of Stevie’s is intact and maybe even better with age… it really restores one’s faith - blind or otherwise - in the lasting beauty of a great song… almost nothing better… All Hail Stevie and Blind Faith

Traffic - Dear Mr Fantasy

[thislovintime]

On the set of Head (1968).

“‘Did you ever see that documentary on television, the one where the camera showed a South Vietnamese officer shooting [a] Viet Cong prisoner?’ [Peter] asked. ‘No,’ I [Judy Sims] faltered. ‘Well, this officer… just pulled out a gun and shot the guy, a prisoner, no provocation, and the camera caught the whole bloody thing, a human being disintegrated while you watched… that film clip appears in our movie several times.’ And later he said: ‘In spite of the fact that I think our movie is really good, heavy and all that, I don’t dig it. It’s too violent.’ The movie, still called ‘Untitled,’ is not just a Monkee romp; apparently it makes some strong statements that a lot of people won’t like. I don’t know how much control the Monkees themselves had over the production, but I can’t help but think this is one way for them to move away from their limiting ‘teeny‘ image and perhaps do more meaningful things. When I recovered from the movie thing, Peter led us into the living room and played some records he had produced for a Monkees album. And they were very nice; one was ‘Lady’s Baby,’ a tune Peter wrote, another was ‘Alvin the Alligator,’ a talk-song his brothers wrote some them ago; another was sung by Micky. Then he played what he called a ‘taste treat’: Steve Stills singing the Stevie Winwood song, ‘Mr. Fantasy’ (produced by Steve, not Peter). We listened to a few more records while we stretched out on Peter’s comfortable red rug, and then headed down the long, narrow drive to the city.” - Disc and Music Echo, August 17, 1968

“Besides transforming The Monkee image, the film’s other stated goal, as explained by Peter Tork, was to ‘…grab a little reality and walk through the scenes and talk about ourselves and put a little objectivity behind the whole thing — show the people what it was really like.’” - The Charlotte Observer, August 7, 1996
