Seeder's comments:

Well, for me this may have been the one that started it all. When I discovered this record I must have listened to it hundreds of times. This was maybe the first bootleg album that I owned and boy did I get my moneys worth on this one, lol. This is a great record! The sound quality is passable but little more. I know that there are much better recordings of some of these songs but others I don’t believe I’ve seen anywhere else.

This was a 2 record album.

The first side starts with several tunes from Longview Farms in the early 80’s. Keith is tickling the ivories and singing with so much soulful passion that you can sense the emotion oozing out of the vinyl. Bobby Keys is along and adds to the atmosphere with his great playing. There are tracks here from Compass Point Studios recorded for the Emotional Rescue sessions as well. On “Little T & A” we get Keith trying to flesh out the unfinished lyrics. Listen to the cool phrasing reminiscing of Dylan and check out Keith’s great harmony with himself on the second chorus. “What a Feeling” is another great slow tune and when Keith sings the words “It must be Love, although it’s bitter” you feel it. Check out the smooth groove on “I Let You Know” and also Mick Jaggers backing vocals on “It Won’t Be Long.”

Side 3 of the record starts off with another version of “Over the Rainbow” but Keith has added guitar to his piano (Bobby Keys also adds a nice harmony sax part at one point). “The Nearness of You” may become one of your favorites here, be careful, lol. “Truly” is another great song. Like many tunes on this part of the album it is a reggae number. The album ends pretty much as it began with Keith on the piano.

I have not seen this in a long time and never on CD (it’s too bad, too). I converted this from vinyl so there are pops and cracks like my “Toronto Blues” disc but don’t let that scare you. Grab this one, it’s a must have. Quality of the material is first rate, fidelity is lacking but listenable. After I got this record I have spent the last 20 or more years trying to get these songs in better quality . . . what a loser I am, lol. Enjoy!

Thanks very much!!!

Thank You for all the Keith selections - it is much appreciated

Thanks, great detailed notes too. I'm confused though, as is mentioned in the text the first tracks were assumed to be "Longview Farm" (Massachussets) recordings, but they are now known to have been recorded at "Los Angeles, Eldorado Recording Studio" in March 1981 ?

"9 [10 in fact]. Oh, What A Feeling 2'32
Toronto, Interchange Studios 12-13.3 1977"

Could it be the super-rare 1977 version. It can't be mistaken for the more common LVFarm'81 one (where Keith sings in a much lower vocal register. And the 81 version has a marker : the sound of a Polaroid camera going off at the beginning of the song).

GREAT find!

Yes I know, The torrent was downloaded more than 10 years ago and I didn't want to modify the original info file. I suggest you to read the description provided here in the post, which is new.
When I share something that is not mine, I don't modify anything, but in the post I write more or updated info with links. Thank you.
