Happy Birthday Virginia MacNaughton:
It's 10:51 PM on Friday night, January 25th, 2008...just left a message for producer Rob Fraboni re: Virginia MacNaughton's 2003 disc, "Levers, Pulleys & Engines"...boy is this disc special. It sets a mood by opening up with 4:57 minutes of a dreamy "Essentially Grey" - "Time and space have taught me to be patient..."...picture Kraftwerk backing up Norah or Rikki Lee Jones - the Jones Sisters...a sweeping arrangement and devoted vocals with cosmic guitars erupting underneath...this is special stuff...will have to email Fraboni...answer the phone, man...Track 10 (you know computers, always in shuffle mode), "Shadow Me", 6:05 of something that sounds like an answer to John Lennon's "Plastic Ono Band" album...an album I adore...this is very different from track 1, and the piano/drum combo is played to perfection...at 11:33 PM track 4 "Anonymous" has totally captivated me! https://rockjournalistjoevig.blogspot.com/2008/01/
