MAGE MUSIC 19: Magickal Mystery Tour

“An embarrassment of riches...”
~  Dave Lewis From a Whisper to a Scream: Complete Guide to the Music of Led Zeppelin, p. 68

Mage Music 19

This post is I guess a placeholder to give me a bit of time off from doing any serious thinking (or writing) about Mage Music.  The reason for the songs I chose for this week's playlist?  Each of them shares these things in common:  1) The Magick in these songs gives me a shiver in me timbers when I hear them; 2) because they're all different, you know that the vocalists and other musicians aren't where the Magick is coming from; 3) they show how, even over the span of 40 years, Jimmy Page's gift never wavered; and 4) the tone quality that Jimmy Page puts in each and every song is beyond outrageous!

    Pretty intense playlist there Lady:) I have been meaning to tell you that you always have exceptional taste in art work too:) Love the way you put those elements together:)
    I really like the "Outrider" album. I am going to have to find that one. And I thought Cloverdale/Page was excellent together too. But then again what is common element running through each of these different bands. JImmy Page:) He is the one that takes them higher and makes them shine brighter:) I always said kiddingly, that JImmy could play with Kermit the Frog and Kermit will be instant over night Rock Frog:) Then we come to "Ramble on". It is one of the stars JImmy pulls down from the sky for us to enjoy. Funny when you give me a specific playlist and I truly listen they tell me a story. JImmy had been on a magnificent life journey this whole time:) And I hope one day he finds his Queen. For he should always be surrounded with a whole lotta love. He gives so much to us. Thank you Lif. You are very talented and a good teacher:)

    Thanks for the compliments - the artwork is fun to do. Outrider has really grown on me - not for the songs as a whole, but for the quality of Jimmy Page's music.

    Rock Frog... so many stray thoughts from that one: Hammer of the Frogs! How Many More Croaks! (Emerald Eyes - title doesn't need any change of words!) In Through The Outlet! Swimming Into Clarksdale!
