Black Sabbath - The Wizard
I have a thing for old songs that sound fresh. Exhibit: The Wizard. Still sounds unique listening to it this morning (I have alot of time on foot today, need something to get me going this morning).
What is it that sounds new, even today 40+ (!) years after the release. In pinpointing it, I think it’s the harmonica. What an odd choice of instrumentation to add in to this song. Yet, it works, big time.

Sandy Denny, 1969
I was the first records editor at Rolling Stone, and there were no rules. There was nothing to fall back on as to how do you write about this kind of music, so people were trying absolutely everything with a great sense of freedom and experimentation and success and failure, and a feeling of, “My God, people are actually paying attention to this. Let’s pretend they aren’t because we don’t want to be intimidated by what somebody might think of what we’re saying.
