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".

I may have mentioned this one before, but I just listened to it and it bears repeating: The Houston Kid by Rodney Crowell. Not only is it in my Top 10 All-Time Favorite Albums list, but is also the most consistent album I've heard since The Band's brown (2nd) album. Not a bad track, all Prime Grade-A Beef, no filler. An autobiographically-themed album (there is a complimentary book Rodney wrote, Chinaberry Sidewalks) filled with fantastic songs, singing, musicianship, and production. As good as it gets! |
artemus_5 - As previously discussed, I too am a big Storyville fan. "A Good Day For The Blues" is a great track! https://youtu.be/RLsWaysQmMs N |
@jafant This is the one I have: https://www.discogs.com/Ornette-Coleman-The-Shape-Of-Jazz-To-Come/release/5245666 |
...figure it’s about time for this, whether a few days or a few years early, doesn’t much matter. "Everywhere At The End of Time" - The Caretaker (this version: 12 tracks; 41:30 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_rEHstx7v4 |

All the best, Nonoise |

The guitar that stands out the most to me, came into my band practice room in about 1979. I remember it was a Rick Derringer model of some type It was a Gibson. The body was like the Explorer But it wasn't what they call a "Split head" The head was like an upside down Fender type. It was quite radical looking for the time. I don't remember what amp the guitarist was using. But the guitar was so hot that it overpowered the room the band and our ability to play with it. I don't remember the tone being bad. But it screamed like no other guitar I've heard. This is similar but it was a different color https://images.reverb.com/image/upload/s--kRiHg8cT--/f_auto,t_large/v1584212474/efczcir5eykesq1dgrm2... On another note, I too have Ludwig Vistalite & Zyldian I bought new in 74 or 75. I love them with new heads which I need (-: |
Oh yeah @artemus_5, I forgot Albert played a Tele, not that common amongst Blues players (though Mike Bloomfield played one in The Butterfield Blues Band.). The Tele is just about the ipso facto standard in Country, of course. I’ve played with a lot of Tele players (I too am a drummer), and though it often sounds thin (in comparison with double-coil pickup guitars such as most Gibsons), that is affected by the player’s choice of amplifier. When I recorded with Evan Johns (his Moontan album), he plugged his Tele into a blackface Fender Super (four 10" drivers, 65 watts. Steve Ray Vaughan’s standard amp.), cranked up to 10. Massive sound, though you wouldn’t know it to hear the album (not a good mix, though my drums sound great! 60’s Ludwigs, modern Ludwig chrome-over-brass 14 x 6.5 snare, Zildjian and Paiste cymbals). The most piercing guitar I ever heard was Ray Davies’ Tele, live in 1970. The guitar was plugged into a HiWatt stack, and MY GOD was it loud. Far louder than Pete Townshend when I saw The Who in ’68 and ’69 (Gibson ES335, one of my favorite guitars), and Clapton in Cream (a Gibson SG into a Marshall stack. Mediocre tone imo, though not nearly as bad as Jack Bruce’s Gibson bass, about the worst I’ve ever heard. The Best? John Entwhisle’s Fender Precision, and Jack Casady’s Guild.). |
@bdp24 I liken it to chewing foil ;-) .Yep. That's about right. FWIW it shows a Telecaster on the cover. Same on the "Cold Snap" album. But Tele and Strat have the same family relationship. I'm not as familiar with the Tele. As a drummer, I heard a lot of Strats but few Teles. Classic rock was either a Strat of Les Paul with an occasional one off. Speaking of thick strings, I'm told that's how Stevie Ray Vaughan got his tone which I've always liked. I wish Joe Bonamassa would use thicker strings. Now I've gone to medelin" I'l be quiet now (-: |
