If alive in the early 90s you too would have listened to Goodbye Jumbo. Listening to Goodbye Jumbo right now is absolutely the “Right” time for you. Karl Walllinger’s voice is strong, the Respectville homage to the Beatles is an important Welsh uplift to America, and the guitar solos were OG.
“Little Green” sits at the heart of Blue, a record many consider Mitchell’s magnum opus. The album’s openness about love, loss, and longing has made it a touchstone for listeners across generations. But for years, the story behind this particular track remained hidden, even as the song itself brimmed with hints of heartbreak and resilience.
“Down to You” stands as a towering achievement, not only for its hauntingly beautiful arrangement but for its penetrating insight into the human condition. This Grammy-winning piece offers a masterful telling of our shared struggles, triumphs, and contradictions, as though viewed from a high, five-dimensional perch.
