Eagles, "Hell Freezes Over"....also, Eva Cassidy "Songbird" and Cat Stevens "Tea for the Tillerman"
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".

Listening regularly, just not posting about it regularly. Last couple of evenings been spending time w/George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass". Surprising to me how well most of the music on this triple album has held up over time. Not familiar with much of GH's other solo stuff (Did listen to Wonderwall a good bit way back. Always liked "When We Was Fab") but based solely on ATMP, the man was gifted with some wonderful melodies. Shouldn't be a surprise, I guess, given his contributions to the Abbey Road album. |
Paul Rodgers, Muddy Water Blues. Features Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, Brian May, Steve Miller, Gary Moore, Trevor Rabin, Richie Sambora, Neal Scheon, Brian Setzer, Slash. Here is a sample. https://youtu.be/W_2wLOgD6Ls N |
Chris Fury, From the darkness. Very talented guitarist. This track reminds me of Joe Satriani. https://youtu.be/J4Jnpi3JUq0 N |
Real Live Dylan and band are smokin’. In particular, Mick Taylor sounds fantastic. Check out his work on "I & I", e.g., his solo after the last verse... "Someone else is speaking with my mouth, but I’m listening only to my heart I’ve made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot" Hey adg, I’ve not yet tried Fallen Angels. Thought it was going to be another curious collection of covers (how’s that for alliteration) like Shadows. Not my cuppa. Guess I’ll give it a try. Well, it is more covers. Found "Melancholy Mood" on Spotify. Dylan’s band is great (as usual). The arrangement and recording sonics are excellent and, surprise, surprise, Dylan’s voice sounds (almost) smooth and polished crooning this one. While I don’t "get it" like Reviewer Erlewine in the All Music Guide apparently does, I respect Dylan for going down this unexpected path in Shadows and, now, Angels. |
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! https://youtu.be/_w8SY_9yO8k N |

@nutty Let me know if any of the other Nines titles are similar to that S/T download-only-one. I'll be interested in hearing more along those lines but I'm thinking the other stuff I sampled was pretty different. Let me know if otherwise. I don't know how much "fixing" JJ & Mofro did to those Brighter Days live tracks. Fixin' things can't fake energy tho' and those boys got that in spades. Thanks for another great recommendation. Got a "like new" The Way It Is CD ordered for under $15 shipped from an eBay seller w/100% rating, Glad to find it. |
@nutty Hey Nutty - I had not but thanks for the reminder. I have the YouTube clip running now and found the whole thing on Spotify. They reminded me of J. Geils on that first track; on Track 2 sounding like Al Green...well the arrangement a bit, if not the vocal. Thanks for the suggestion. Going to listen to this some more. It’s got that old R&B vibe for sure. You get a chance, check out The Nines. Pretty hard hitting and bears up to repeated listening. BTW - tracked down a copy of Glenn Hughes’ The Way It Is. Making an offer. That one is starting to get a little bit scarce and pricey. Another one that bears up to repeated listening. |
