Bluegrass in my mind is white people's Blues
That would be Country music. Real country music that is. Blues is about women, sex and booze. Country music used to be about that also.

The Good Stuff
There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. -- Duke Ellington
This purpose of this thread is to provide a place to post outstanding examples of the Good Music.

Count Basie BASIE AT BIRDLAND Roulette / EMI 1961 / 2007 Notes : If the repertoire on this album is heavily weighted toward the Blues, this is, after all, at its core, a Kansas City band and one that is able to show the infinite variety and invention that can be drawn from this simple form. Sixteen swinging men at their peak, off the road and playing at the club they call home -- it doesn't get any better!

Healing Tide by The War And Treaty. TWAT (oh my ;-) are actually Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter, a Gospel duo. This wonderful 2018 album was produced by another Christian, the great Buddy Miller. They will be performing at the upcoming Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland Oregon on Saturday July 2nd. Taj Mahal will be on stage the following day, but I believe without his partner on his new album with Ry Cooder. |

Our Governor, at a press conference immediately after the incident, spent the entire time talking about the 'bravery' of the police. Now, he claims he was 'misled' as to the actual events that took place. But you know, normal people don't want to hear about the 'bravery' of cops when 19 children are lying dead. That should not be the first thing out of his mouth. Just goes to show you how shallow and unfeeling some people are. They recite the same political nonsense without any sense or appreciation of time, place or circumstance. Like robots with a shorted circuit. The cops: A big cowboy hat and a gun does not make you a hero. Action does. Cheers |
