Cold!

It's starting to get a little nippy (ok, it's all relative; nippy here means nights below 70 degrees Fahrenheit), so let's have a little Three Dog Night. Specifically, Captured Live at the Forum. This was only the group's third album, but it could qualify as a greatest hits compilation. AMG only gives it two stars, but I suspect that's for the recording quality, not for the verve and the songs. This collection includes Harry Nilsson's "One (is the Loneliest Number)," Laura Nyro's "Eli's Coming," and "Try a Little Tenderness." If you look at the composers of the songs on this album, you'll also find members of Traffic, Lennon/McCartney, and Robbie Robertson. As far as I can tell, the group only performed covers, but their arrangements were occasionally quite different from the originals. From the sounds of this album, they must have really put on a show.

:) It's nippy here, too. There's snow on the mountain! Pretty during the day but it really bites at night.

Old house or new?
