Looking for something to play?


I'm always looking looking for something new to play make my system shine....there is a musician called Justin Johnson who is a phenomenal string guitarist who has a few albums out...l bought a few of his cd's..they were a little pricey but worth it.....he can tell a story with a guitar...he makes my 2 channel system sound fabulous...just putting ot out there,thanks

I continue to be smitten by Natalie Cole's "Unforgettable...With Love," her tribute to her dad (grandad?) Nat's hits. On Qobuz. Lush. Beautifully recorded.

That was a good song....his album "if the walls could talk" is a good blend of his talent....sounds really good on a resolving system....

A bit different but if you want to hear what your system can do resolving low frequencies play Flight of the Cosmic Hippo by Bela Fleck. It will put a smile on your face. 

I listened to flight of the cosmic hippo...and cranked it..yes the pictures were rattling....l  probably will buy it...its good music...thanks!

Cosmic hippo...  Tested my sub purchase with that,  definitely a smile maker! Thanks for the Justin Johnson tip I will check him out. Along the same vein looking for new tunes,  I came across Karen Elson last week. Former super model,  singer songwriter. Excellent song production,  smoky voice.  Makes ribbon tweeters happy

I will check those out tonight, thanks..When l go from room to room at Axpona l ask and write down what the big boys are demoing....great suggestions from audiogoners also....when l have company over l have a several set lists written down for a great demo....

I like that idea. I have wanted to write down the reviewers demo tracks but have been lazy around that

I am starting to record them now. 

Try some older Jesse Cook like the Vertigo album.  Some of the best acoustic guitar out there.

I've been a little lost in modern Cello music lately, like that by Julia Kent and Zoe Keating.  Try some of this:

These are all great suggestions....sharing these ideas is how you can find the "good stuff"  l would like to keep the list going by adding Bonnie Raitt...lm not particularly a country person but her voice is phenomenal..lm an instant fan....use your best midrange speakers and listen to the nick of time album...
