On first listen it just sounds like a guy button-mashing blues runs but it's actually a collection of very well-timed and phrased licks melding into each other to form a coherent sub-song with rising and falling action. I've been listening to the first guitar break from his recording of "John Hardy" off of Cold on the Shoulder over and over again. And his voice-even if he didn't play guitar and only sang, he'd have one of the top bluegrass/folk voices of all time, tonally clear as glass yet varied and dramatic like a broadway singer without becoming grating or schmaltzy (looking at you, Glenn Campbell!) Every one of his notes rang like a bell and was played with deliberate and very unique musicality, which you can tell because every single Youtube guitarist covering TR sounds nothing like him even if they play the song note-perfectly on well-maintained Martins. His rhythm playing was perfectly understated and supportive of whatever ensemble he was in. ![]() Every break or intro he took feels effortless and off the top of his head and yet was also very melodic and intentional. It is insane how good TR was at his craft. ![]() ![]() ![]() In 1761 Rousseau’s novel, “Julie, ou La Nouvelle Héloïse,” electrified Europe, purportedly causing readers to swoon, suffer seizures and sigh interminably. While in Paris, Rousseau entered an essay contest on the subject, “Have the arts and sciences contributed to the moral improvement of mankind?” Rousseau’s answer (“No”) so impressed King Louis XV that the king offered Rousseau a pension. There he entered into an affair with a seamstress named Thérèse Levasseur, who bore him at least two and, possibly, five children, all of whom were placed in orphanages. The ever-thoughtful Madame de Warens secured a plum job for Rousseau with the French Ambassador in Vienna, but Rousseau was bored and quit, lighting out for Paris. Since she was also intimate with her steward, Rousseau’s first sexual experience was as part of a ménage à trois. ![]() At that point, his care was given over to an aristocratic woman, Françoise-Louise de Warens, who oversaw his education and also took Rousseau as her lover. Rousseau’s mother died giving birth to him and he was mostly raised until his teen years by an uncle. ![]() Even by the loose standards of his era, Jean-Jacques Rousseau lived a bizarre life. ![]() |
