Put a needle on the Record ! -Luscious Jackson

I no little of Vivian Trimble other than she was in multiple great bands and was the keyboardist and vocalist for Luscious Jackson. I fell in love with them when I was listening to Fever In Fever Out over a Christmas break. I pretty much ate, caught up on sleep and listened to the CD during that two week period, it was part of my soul. I moved on to Natural Ingredients and Electric Honey, and In Search of Manny. When I introduced my kids to pop music LJ was right there with the Stones, Talking Heads and the Police.

I feel like I am the only person who ever heard of the Kostars but I love this one record and all the songs. I have been listening to Dusty Trails.

Vivian I love the sound of all the keyboards on LJ. KKwaK and DT. I also love her vocals. She was part of bands that I still love to listen too. I regret I never got to see her play in person. Her voice and sound will be missed, RIP.
