Blind Mango Chutney explores the polarising genre of easy listening in his Queasy Listening special with expert digger Alan Perrott - from pure kitsch and unlikely mashups to smooth prog and exotica, crooner to Kiwiana.
This week Sam takes a look at the 1967 album by Aretha Franklin "I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You". This was the Queen of Soul's first commercial smaslh and broke her outside the R&B and soul community.
STOP: Look Both Ways (Ugly Hill Press) is a new book by Murray Savidan. The book showcases some of the best of Murray’s photography from the 1960s to now.
Beth had a kōrero with Murray about the book and his extensive photography career. Additionally they chat about Murray’s time in The Bluestars, the first New Zealand band to sign to Decca in the ’60s.
In Murray’s own words, ‘You gesture with your camera, okay? You take a photograph, maybe another. You smile – thank you and move on. It’s taken 15 seconds, maybe less. But those brief encounters can be very rewarding. You remember them the rest of your life.’
STOP: Look Both Ways is out now at independent bookstores near you.
