Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.
"I love music that calls out fascism and injustice" As do I. While not a specific genre, there is a ton of "anti-fascist" music out there, along with music calling out injustice, etc. Basic examples include protest music of the 60's and 70's and then punk/hardcore of the 70's, 80's and beyond. Some great music out there, filled with passion and energy.... Time to fire up the "record player." |
I like Rev. Davis. As I've said, I was lucky enough to go to U.C. Berkeley in the 60s when all manner of musician and other artists were around. I heard blues on record players and live from real blues players. I had musician friends who played Blues licks. Of course, they couldn't sing them worth anything. (I'm being careful about my four letter words because I had a long post excised for using a four letter word.} I must explain, though. I have a dry sense of humor and posting a spiritual by a guy who looked like John Denver was slightly pulling your leg. That's not to say I wasn't taken by him when I heard him on the radio. And I still like that song. The old blues and spirituals sounded dated, though, in the 60s and 70s. I think my spiritual singers were Marvin Gaye (What's Going On) and Stevie Wonder. I can't imagine that anyone on this thread hasn't heard "What's Going On." If you haven't heard it either run out and buy the album or stream it. |
Like many, I became aware of Rev. G. Davis via Jorma K’s covers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1SK3QTnGU8&list=RDc1SK3QTnGU8&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2v4bmWbXeg&list=OLAK5uy_k1_unICX7WcrG1S-25D3NQ6L9P28ISuc4
