Saw the Colbert appearance and can't agree. Bon Iver is a slightly more elegant avant garde variation of Coldplay sentimentality. |
Keithr: It's amazing. I had posted a comment in the other Best Of '11 thread about it. Absolutely brilliant album. Different than the first and his EP. Not quite as dark and more sophisticated musically, still the same character. It has almost a chamber pop sound. Can't stop listening to it. I also came across a three song bonus disc on line which has a version of Peter Gabriel's "Come Talk To Me" that is crazy good. I guess it's his trade for PG doing "Flume" on his last. Justin Vernon was on Stephen Colbert yesterday and it was a really great performance of "Calgary", entertaining interview too. His band is giant which I did not expect. I'm sure you can find it on Youtube and it'd be worth a watch. |
how is the new Bon Iver? seeing all kinds of rave reviews |
|
my morning jacket "circuital" is outstanding! |
I'm really liking - Vetiver, The Errant Charm |
I´m sorry, my mistake. The correct title of the Warren Haynes album is "Man in Motion".

For me it's Steve Miller Band - Let your hair down, but I'm looking forward to getting Black Country Communion 2 which just came out this week |
Thus Far:
Cave Singers - No Witch
Bill Callahan - Apocalypse
Destroyer - Kaputt
Paul Simon - So Beautiful or So What
Okkervil River - I Am Very Far
Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
All on LP. |
I purchased the Hot Tuna record at the same time as Man in Motion and I agree. Definitely a long standing talent, as is Jack Cassidy. |

Jorma! Already? Seems like I just bought his latest last week. :-)<<
Not a solo album.
First Hot Tuna release in almost 20 years.
Guests include Larry Campbell, a very gifted musician IMO. |
Thanks for that Jesusa0, I'm looking forward to it. Jorma! Already? Seems like I just bought his latest last week. :-) |

The title of the Warren Haynes record is "Man in Motion"<<
Yup, and it's excellent.
So is the latest from Hot Tuna "Steady As She Goes". Jorma just keeps getting better.
IMO |
The title of the Warren Haynes record is "Man in Motion" |
The Kills "Blood Pressures"
Yuck "Yuck"
Cat's Eyes "Cats Eyes"
My favorites...so far |
Dan_ed,
The Motion Man is a great album.
I have the CD version, even though a little bit compressed, is a fantastic piece of music.
It takes me back to the rhythm and blues from the 60s. Sam and Dave, Aretha Franklin with the fantastic Warren Haynes´s guitar playing and soulful singing.
Two tracks are worth the whole album: "River´s gonna rise" and "Sick of my shadow". The best part of those songs are the magic chords played by Warren.
Not to forget the soulful playing of guys like Ivan Neville and George Potter, Jr. (you know, The Meters).
Regards,
Daniel |
Jesusa0, tell me more. I have that one shipping now. |
INXS 2011 remasters. Try the album 'Kick' to start with. Brilliant rock album and amongst the very best recordings for the genre. |
R.E.M latest album is Good. Liking it. |
Warren Haynes, "Motion Man" |
Wait for the new YES album in July, "Fly From Here". |
To think that Stevie Nicks is either
a) "Rock" or
b) Top of mind in 2011
suggests the median age must be spiking up around here.
Those of you who are manufacturers should consider increasing the size of all buttons and controls, and updating owners' manuals to 14 point type.

Gregg Allman "Low Country Blues" is a pretty strong offering. |
MoFi, you need to make decision, Stevie or Margo, women hate to share:) |
There is still alot of time left in 2011, but so far I like albums from Adele, Decemberists and Social D. |
Marty,
Thanks for the info on Stevie. I LOVE Stevie Nicks. I have seen her many times. One of the audio stores I owned many moons ago, sponsered a concert with her and she signed a lithograph poster for me backstage. She is a very special person and holds a special place in my heart. |
Mofi,
A friend at Warner Music told me that they are VERY high on the new Stevie Nicks record. That said......
Tonight is a big one for me. Lindsey Buckingham is premiering his soon to be released CD "Seeds We Sow" in Beverly Hills tonight and I just got an invite. In my book, it doesn't get much better than that - I'll report back on the new material tomorrow.
I also expect to receive the new Feelies CD in the next few days. Their first in +/- 20 years.

So far, my favorite is PJ Harvey's Shake England Shake. But it's early days ... |
Here's another high hope for the new Stevie Nicks album. |
Well, 2011 is only a quarter done but these are my thoughts. I have Wasting Time by the Foo Fighters and it is a really strong album. I really like Collapse Into Now by REM from March of this year. In terms of CD's coming later in the year, I have high hopes for the new Stevie Nicks CD in May. Also, the Wooden Birds have a new one coming out in June. One of my favorite rock bands WILCO, have a new release in september. They are one of the more underated bands and Jeff Tweedy is a tremendus songwriter. |
