When It Hits You: Three Love Letters


Listen Later

 "One good thing about music, when it hits you you feel no pain."
- Bob Marley & The Wailers from Trenchtown Rock

Has a truer statement ever been uttered?!? When we consider the source, one of the lions of 20th century music who expanded the musical palettes of millions of people around the globe, we have it on excellent authority. In this episode of the Keep Going podcast, we return to one of our common passions, "The Album". Your three hosts all are deeply enamored & passionately enthused about the artistic artifacts of a golden era where each song is written, recorded, produced & positioned within a larger ecosystem of other songs, all working in concert to deliver the listener an experience. Depending on the artist, the experience will be different & this is expected, hoped for - perhaps even demanded. We lament the continuing trend away from The Album (with a capital "A") but remain optimistic about music because, well, "when it hits you"...
In a spur of the moment decision, only a day before we had scheduled this recording, we pivoted away from a running topic & back to music. There was a sense that we might begin to lose the music thread if we didn't return to it. You see, we have two new series's planned for the coming weeks & that worry was beginning to feel very real. So we decided to consider one album each, with the criteria being it must bring all the feels & have had a big impact on our life. We all listened to each other's selection so we would have an appreciation of the love the others brought to their choice. The conversation is framed as a love letter to one transformational album in our lives. With less that 24 hours notice, we examine, explicate & experience three albums we consider classic: Beck's 2002 album Sea Change (Michael's selection), Radiohead's 2007 album In Rainbows (Steve's selection) & Janis Joplin's 1973 release Greatest Hits (John's selection). 
One note: The attempted addition of songs from the albums did not go as planned. As producer, I left the songs in because removing them seemed to disrupt the flow within the greater context of the whole conversation. So please excuse the lack of engineering acumen. If we attempt musical examples again, we'll have our shit together. 
So with that noted please enjoy our conversation, in an episode we call When It Hits You: Three Love Letters. 
Godspeed, my friends, godspeed.
