"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier -
At the moment, it's Terry Callier's 'Occasional Rain' .
1972-76: Callier records three albums for Cadet: Occasional Rain (1972), What Color is Love (1973) and I Just Can’t Help Myself (1975). All three produced by Charles Stepney, crystallised his style – a unique brand of soul featuring jazz-influenced compositional structures and themes of social awareness and gained him and impassioned following among R&B hipsters. Callier goes on his first national tour where he is heard in a featured spot alongside such artists as Gil Scott Heron, George Benson, and Grover Washington Jr. “The Cadet years were good for me” says Callier. “It seems that songs like Ordinary Joe, Occasional Rain and What Color is Love resonated out there. That felt good. It was behind those albums that I was able to play in places like Washington D.C…Detroit…for quite a few years afterwards”.
His deeply soulful voice, the mix of jazz-rock-folk-soul, the politically aware lyrics...Attached FilesVive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

Hadn't listened to it in several years; then I pulled it out a couple of months ago and just haven't stopped. I was in college when it came out, and remember liking its fresh new sound. 25 years later, it turns out that it still has a fresh new sound. It's an album for the ages."I have as much authority as the pope. I just don't have as many people who believe it." — George CarlinComment
