Nobody writes or sings it like Robert Allen Zimmerman...

Dedicate this line to the Donko's..

"One day you'll be in the ditch, flies buzzin' around your eyes,
Blood on your saddle"

My music tastes are beyond eclectic...

Tool, The Coup, Pink Floyd, Rush, Woody Guthrie, Led Zepplin, and more that I am not thinking of...

Led Zepplin is one of my favorite groups... Robert Plant makes everyone think they can sing

Stairway To Heaven"

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying the stairway to heaven.

The Song Remains The Same"

I had a dream. Crazy dream.
Anything I wanted to know, any place I needed to go

Hear my song. People won't you listen now? Sing along.
You don't know what you're missing now.
Any little song that you know
Everything that's small has to grow.
And it has to grow!

California sunlight, sweet Calcutta rain
Honolulu Starbright - the song remains the same.

Sing out Hare Hare, dance the Hoochie Koo.
City lights are oh so bright, as we go sliding... sliding... sliding through

Four80East is the brainchild of Toronto-based remix producers Tony Grace and Rob DeBoer (collectively known as Boomtang). Inspired by the acid jazz/groove movement that was flourishing in the United Kingdom, they launched their Four80East concept in the late ’90s as a cool, creative side project geared towards a loose, improvisational dance vibe. Over the last decade, as chill music established itself as a genre of its own, their jazz-inflected urban trance music�”first dubbed “trip-jazz, ” now known as “Nu Jazz”�”became a global phenomenon. With En Route, Grace and DeBoer continue on that path.

En Route opens with a moody ambience and slight blues sway on the soulful electronica of “Five By Five.” After the funky dive into “Noodle Soup, ” Four80East heads into the trippy, film score darkness of “The Drop, ” which blends avant-garde jazz guitar and trippy sound effects over a sensual groove. “Double Down” takes a plugged in, postmodern view of the traditional jazz quartet, with cool and chaotic high hat and drums mixing with Jon Stewart’s smoky tenor; Stewart also adds a punchy solo to the soul-influenced “Been Too Long.” “Closer” serves as a late night seduction song, with sexy wordless vocals drifting over dreamy synth textures.

The groove picks up on the next two tracks: the energetic jazz/pop fusion-flavored title track and the spacey electronica/jazz gem “51 Division, ” before the chill takes over again on “Don’t Look Back” (with DeBoer’s crisp guitar lines circling Bryden Baird’s silky trumpet tones) and the haunting, shadowy “Easy Come, Easy Go.” Grace and DeBoer wrap En Route with the Eastern-flavored, electric guitar-driven number “Waterline.”

The first single from En Route is the thumping and hypnotic “Noodle Soup, ” which is fashioned as a hybrid dance, trip, and jazz track. Four80East’s old school soul and jazz influences are front and center with DeBoer’s remarkable jazzy guitar and piano riffs jangling playfully over Grace’s irrepressible beats. “Noodle Soup” has already earned a nod for Best Original Song at the Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards, scheduled for April 2007. Four80East is also nominated in two other categories, Best Group Or Duo and Best Keyboardist.

With the release of En Route, Four80East is also planning an extended live tour for the first time. The longtime studio act has received strong accolades for its handful of live performances over the past few years, at the Catalina Island Jazz Trax Festival, the Uptown Jazz Festival in Toronto, and the Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards, among others.

I just purchased Marcus Millers new CD titled Marcus... If you like Bassists this is a great buy. Of course I'm biased... I have all of his CD's.
