Shambala…Listen on Spotify
Woman…Listen on Spotify
Never Been to Spain…Listen on Spotify
I’m old and Three Dog Night has been playing off and on in the background of my life for years. Okay, I’m not THAT old…I’ve been around older family members who listen to the music of their time. I knew some Three Dog Night, but I’d never really listen closely when it played. I’m easily distracted, probably, and chances are rare to just sit and listen. A few months ago, I got drawn into Shambala. Peaceful, yet rapturous. I played it over and over. This is highly unusual…I was distracted into the song rather than out. Before I knew it, I was playing through their catalog to find some gems that really resonated. Sure, it’s a well-known band and I’d heard it all before. On that day it was new to me, and nothing else matters. I know Never Been to Spain from way back, but I’ve never been to Oklahoma. I hear some family was born there, but I really don’t remember. In Oklahoma, not Arizona…what does it matter? Never Been to Spain and Woman are bluesy, but entirely different flavors. It feels so good!
I don’t want to alter the experience with my ideas. That would remove any potential for surprise. I’m not going to tell you what I think about any of this. I don’t really know anything about music anyway. The proposition is simple…listen to this! If you like it, please consider obtaining more of their stuff from a fair and legitimate source. They’ve been around and have been immensely popular at times. Who knows if anyone associated with Three Dog Night needs the support, but they’ve got a website…threedognight.com. If you like it, do it for you. If you would like to know more about the band, here’s where I’d start…Three Dog Night – Wikipedia. What a time to be alive!
