I think Rozi Plain is much more important than she realizes - which is part of why she is so delightful. It is difficult to encapsulate just how original this is musically and lyrically. There is a message here!
This song "Actually" by Rozi Plain is among the 18 discs I've blendt since Pandemic Plagues began to lockdown and quarantine us around March of 2020. That was first I'd heard of the band in which she was a dynamic member as bassist, singing harmonizer and creative contributor with one part of her larger circle of collaborators, namely Kate Stables and This Is the Kit. I never figured out how to download stuff from U. of Tube, so I just tracked some of Rozi's solo discs down in used ew record shops along with This Is the Kit discs tracked down. The version of this song "Actually" that I've wanted as among the key touchstones for what is at this point the 18 discs I've blendt just for myself and fellow Song Chasers as a personal expression of what this evolving\devolving Pandemic Plague Times (With Hints of Silver Linings) has now been removed from U. of Tube. Or I just can't seem to find it. That was just Rozi and Kate Stables on a small skiff moored on a river and dueting acoustically on "Actually" with some videographer on the dock or shore. If that ever gets committed to disc, it would join 2-3 other released versions of "Actually" I've found from Rozi's Band Camp, Lost Map and Rough Trade releases among the half-dozen tracks that I'd want to sub onto the final version of the 18 disc Pandemic Tic Tocks Outta Time set, Maker Willing, I don't get cut down before getting the 18th disc settled down to where it balances with the other 17 discs of flowing to spewing muses, aural collage and song chasing... If only I could find some of the discs of Jayne Cortez's spoken word recordings and her hypnotic incantation performance poetry with her band FireSpitters so formative in my 20's, 30's, 40's through my 50's along with her then partner and creative collaborators Ornette Coleman and their son Denardo Coleman, that Ornette had (over-) playing drums in his combos and even orchestral pieces. Who surprisingly to me has grown into a very sublime drummer, or maybe just when backing his Mom, Jayne Cortez, Z"L now passed, as recently as a decade or so ago from this clip of the 2 of them gigging without the FireSpitters in an alternative culture venue in upstate New York: ruclips.net/video/6h0qYZTXaiI/видео.html Or, J.J. Cale's more amazing club bands from his lengthy between-recordings irregular road-work like this with the soon-to-be deceased formative reeds, woodwind and flute rare road tripper Steve Douglas, who died in a studio seat on Cale sessions for a late 90's recording that Cale later wound up composing his tribute to Steve Douglas as an instrumental piece that ended the record that Steve was working on right up to his heart giving out. Cale & company's lovely subtle swinging remembrance of a session and performance ecstatic in Steve Douglas, "Steve's Song": This is akin to the reverence I feel aroused when Rozi is locked in and listening to the interplay of those muses she collaborates with in her own song chasing....: ruclips.net/video/vxcaXiZwx4w/видео.html ruclips.net/video/MhDJOHgyHWA/видео.html I also love the live tracks Rozi with her various collaborators including all of This Is the Kit has posted, the mini-doc here on U. of Tube and residences out beyond UK. The morphing of her explorations into Sun Ra's "There Is No Day" is clearly another aid to making it through these times outta time and the whole way we each individually feel gas-lighted by our Maker\Creator and the world of our fellow humanity and creatures and organic life through this incomparable global experience of Organic Mystery and personally circumscribed experiences of the mysteries of being.
