What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report


I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.

This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

ghosthouse - I'm glad your enjoying Glenn Hughes. You know I'm a big fan. The first solo album I listened to was "The way it is". I was hooked immediately. 

N

Glenn also does some holiday music!

Joanne Shaw Taylor, various cuts from downloads. The CD-The dity truth- on the song "Mud Honey" shows the gravel in her voice. This woman has got the blues. The live version of "Time has come" on YouTube shows her skill level. The recording get a bit hashy at times but worth a look/listen if your not familiar with her.

In keeping with the Ginger Baker theme, I listened to Masters of Reality featuring Ginger Baker. Amazing performance as usual.

ghosthouse, 

I think you'll really like Joanne Shaw Taylor. Her guitar skills are amazing and her vocal are unique as well. The CD sound quality is pretty good also. She has a ton of YouTube links showing her laying it down with some amazing solo's. Check out my links over on my "Whats playing...." thread. 

By the way, she has some tour date on her web sites where she is performing with some of our favorites.  She's scheduled to perform with Glenn Hughes in August, 3 shows with Joe Bonamossa at a British Blues Explosion concert honoring blues greats Page, Clapton and Beck. She also has a show booked at Daryl's House.

The Tubes, Remote Control. On CD, released 1979, produced by Todd Rundgren. 

(I also remember The Tubes, "What do you want from Live" sounding fantastic on vinyl. Great performance, great recording).

N
Automatic Man, 1976-77, formed by former Santana drummer Michael Shrieve and included guitarist Patt Thrall. Kind of a progressive rock jazz fusion sound.

ghosthouse, 

Yeah, I'm not one to have AC/DC cued up often either. But the particular song I mentioned above is unique, I think. 

I listened to some of the Bersarin Quartet you mentioned.  Some of it is kind of brooding but I did like "Mehr Als Allles Andere". It has a bit more energy that I like. 
Please send some more recommendations my way when you can.

AC/DC, HIGH VOLTAGE.  Great song called "Soul Stripper". It's got a great groove including bongos in the beginning of the song.

Bon Scott was irreplaceable and Angus is definitely a guitar hero, IMHO.

Ana Popovic '...Ana is Serbian and she fronts a blues based band from Tennessee. 
Lots of material, "Ana Popovic' Live in Amsterdam" is a great set.

Beth Hart and Joe Bonamossa, "Don't explain". 

Also Beth Hart, "Screamin' for my supper".

Aranda, Stop the World. (2012) I really like their energy. "Hey Sally" and "Satisfied " are great but the whole CD is pretth good. Recorded well.

Jane’s Addiction, Ritual De Lo Habitual, CD
Jane’s Addiction, Nothing Shocking, CD
Lit, A place in the sun, CD. Track 2 is my favorite.

loomisjohnson,

Your a genius! Tinted Windows is great. When you said it was the drummer from "Cheap Trick", I thought you meant the current drummer. That’s Bun E. Carlos. He's lost weight. They were certainly not on my radar. Catchy tune too.

ghosthouse, 
Did you check out the JJ Grey & Mofro link? It is kinda snappy!

N
ghosthouse,
I really liked The Nines S/T. Tight little band with a good sound. I'm definitely going to check some of their other titles. 

"The Way It Is", was my intruduction to Glenn Hughes. I was hooked. I'll cue up "To far gone" for old times sake. Good luck on your quest.

Prog-rocker Steve Wilson (Porcupine Tree), Luminol....This song is 12:00 long, it's recorded very very well. I really like the driving bass and drums on this one. keyboards are frantic. It rocks!
