+2 Primal Scream
(only half-through..) |
Primal Scream "The Original Memphis Recordings/Give Out But Don't Give Up" I've had a chance to listen 4 times now. Sorry for posting so late but this one needed and deserved the extra attention. Fantastic! |
Always on top.
For you that don't know him yet.
Francis Cabrel
In extremis - a fine start. |
@richdirector,
I ordered Colter Wall because of your post here. Thanks!
|
Kacey Musgraves "Golden Hour what can I say but WOW! Every aspect of this record is superior! Get it! |
Eels "The Deconstruction"
If you're a fan, you'll get it. Love E, and whatever version of the Eeels he puts together. Will have to check that out on Tidal, surprised I have not yet. And always well recorded and engineered. But the Eeels do make music you either like a lot, or wonder what the heck is that all about? |
Hey schubert, do you miss as much as I the critiques of Classical music in the now-defunct Fanfare Magazine? I learned a lot about the music and its performance in those reviews. |
According to the world's longest running and most respected Music
magazine it was the recording of Hector Berlioz : Les Troyens on the Erato label /
|
Eels "The Deconstruction"
If you're a fan, you'll get it.
|
Mary Chapin Carpenter "Sometimes Just The Sky" |
It never stops...
Southside Johnny "Detour ahead - The music of Billie Holiday"
Southside+big band+double bass !! |
+1 Beth Hart live
But the cd Front and Center (live New York) has much much better SQ. Less distorsion, more dynamics, fuller drums and bass, everything. Really good. Also the playing is more sensitive and intimate. |
Still room for one more?
Walter Wolfman Washington - My future is my past |
John Hiatt "The Eclipse Sessions"
Just played it and was blown away. Highly recommended!
|
Bill Frisell "Nashville" ROG |
Hey @jafant,
When I start getting a few 2019 releases in house, I don't mind starting a thread again. Appreciate your interest.
|
Nice to see DTB , I'm a member of the Herd !!
I have seen them maybe 10 times over the years. Started seeing them in the mid 80's.
Fantastic live band!!! |
slaw
I am looking forward to your Best of 2019 list.
Happy Listening! |
I'm still working on 2018...
Beth Hart "Live @ The Royal Albert Hall" SQ = EX!!!
|
|
From the "Beast Epic" sessions, "Weed Garden", Iron & Wine is really good. It's made better by the fact it's @ 45rpm. |
Pistol Annies - Interstate Gospel
A more laidback beautiful album from the Pistol Girls. Very fine production. No excessive loudness.
New releases from the champ Rodney Crowell not to be bypassed. |
+1 Colter Wall.
Very fine acoustical recording. Reference. Like the deep double bass playing. 3D soundstage. Fine songs. According to Tidal he's 22 years!? Sounds like 40 at least. Thanks. |
A 2018 record just discovered - released October but I only just saw a review and then bought it. If you love country then Colter Wall - Songs of the Plains.
think Waylon / gram / Jonnie / john prine.
Listening now on my little leben cs300 and falcon ls3/5a late and just showered after 5 a side footie and glass or red in hand ..... adrenaline / alcohol / audio - triple A rating ....
|
Jason and Pharis Romero "Sweet Old Religion". Great Album after losing everything in a fire. |
Luna "Lunified" Run Out Groove (label)
If you're a fan, you need this record. If you've never heard of Luna, you'll be glad you bought this record. Highly Recommended!
|
Donna The Buffalo "Dance in the Street" (lp) Highly Recommended! |
bdp24 the year 1969 turns 50 this year. I am certain that there will be a plethora of reissues and boxed sets to celebrate this milestone.
Happy Listening! |
Same as every year, Bach .
|
Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians "Rocket" |
|
A little late - but need to put a vote for
Lukas Nelson & Promise of the real. |
@slaw and @jafant, SO agree! I haven’t heard a word about it, but I sure hope 2019 sees Capitol Records doing the same for The Bands’ 1969 2nd album (the "brown") as they did in ’18 for their 1968 Music from Big Pink debut---a deluxe boxset reissue. My two favorite albums! |
slawThank You! for running such an excellent thread. 2018 has been another banner year for new releases and re-issues. I am ready for 2019 as well.
Happy New Year's Eve.
|
@jafant,
IMO, this has been the best year overall for music in recent memory.
I'm looking for great things in 2019.
|
Judas Priest - Firepower ( a strong effort from these Metal veterans).
|
Myles Kennedy “Year of the Tiger” |
slaw
it has been another wonderful year for excellent releases. Here's to winding out 2018, looking forward to 2019.
Happy Listening! |
Johnathan Wilson "Rare Birds" |
@n80,
Actually his debut "Gravity" is one hell of a record that you shouldn't pass over.
…………………………………………………..
Jeremy Messersmith "Late Stage Capitalism". I don't recall anyone but me ever mentioning this artist. I'm making a new classification for him...alternative pop. The record is extremely well recorded. Give it a chance.
|
I only knew of Alejandro Escovedo by his song Castanets. Awesome song. And to be honest, when I heard how bad his health was years ago I assumed he had passed away. Thanks for the reference. I'll spend some time with some of his newer stuff. |
Alejandro Escovedo "The Crossing"! |
Jim Lauderdale "Time Flies"
Sarah Shook & The Disarmers "Years"
|
The new Perfect Circle offering Eat the Elephant is quite good. Most reviews on Amazon by fans said it gets better with each listen but I liked it right away. Perfect Circle is finally finding their own sound after being in the shadow of Tool. |
oldbear

Happy Listening! |

@n80 & @gosta,
I just finished my first listen to "Half Mile Harvest". Extremely enjoyable, very good at first and gets better as the (lp) goes along. Not one dud. AsI said, (my first listen), I thought side one was half notch below side two in SQ but will listen again.
They seem to be one of the many bands of this type music that have been making a resurgence in the last few years.....St Paul & the Broken Bones, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, and The Marcus King Band to name a few. Love it!
