Jimbo Mathus and the Tri-State Coalition - "Dark Night of the Soul"
|
Starting my Sunday morning right........
Pat Metheny Group - "American Garage"
A classic record and a great way to start a morning......
|
OK, before the topic slips away, I want to add my $.02..... I'm firmly in the Son Volt camp, over Wilco. Just wanted to get that out there....... :~)
|
|
Dave Mason - "Alone Together" MCA Remaster on 180 Gram Heavy Vinyl. Really, Really Good.......
|
Manfred Mann's Earth Band - "Watch" |
Bettye Lavette - "Things Have Changed" - Just arrived today. Prep for her show on Oct. 13 at Jorma Kaukonen's Fur Peace Ranch. Can't wait.....
|
an early morning wakeup call.......
Robert Plant - "The Principal of Moments"
|
Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives - "Way Out West" |
@slaw - Thanks for your earlier post . I'm playing Doobie Brothers - "what were once vices are now habits". Really a great album, and perfect on a Friday night......
|
Talking Heads - "Fear of Music"
From my college years. |
The Edgar Winter Group - "They Only Come Out at Night"
One from my youth. My original hand-me-down copy was beat. Found a nice clean replacement last year for $4.99 at my LRS. |
And now, for the rest of the album.......
Supertramp - "Brother Where You Bound"......
My favorite Supertramp album.
|
Felt like something really special tonight. You know, the kind of stuff that makes you remember why you're an audiophile. Or at least an audiophile wanna-be.....
Supertramp - "Cannonball" - 45RPM 12" Direct to Disk single. Holy cow! I wish all records sounded this good...
|
Heart - "Dreamboat Annie"
|
Emmylou Harris
w/Spyboy, featuring Buddy Miller
- "Live in Germany 2000"
|
@slaw - Well that is a bummer. I see her whenever she's nearby. She's special, for sure. |
Following in @slaw 's footsteps......
Glen Hansard - "Drive All Night" 45rpm
So good. Can't really go wrong with a backing band of Greg Liesz, David Piltch, Jake Clemons and Eddie Vedder and Joe Henry producing. Just sayin'.....
Followed up by John Hyatt - "Feels Like Rain" for reasons that are obvious to anyone who's heard Glen Hansard's version of "Drive All Night".........
|
@tomic601 - How much time did you spend at Cedar Point growing up? |
Merry Christmas to All, And to All a Good Night......... |
Prefab Sprout - "Two Wheels Good" |
Up next, another Christmas gift......
John Hiatt - "Slow Turning" on translucent red vinyl..... |
Bettye Lavette - "Things Have Changed" - Saw her last weekend at Jorma Kaukonen's Fur Peace Ranch Station in Meigs County, Ohio. They did the entire album in order.
|
Klye Craft - "Full Circle Nightmare" |
Budgie - "Bandolier" - From the "way back machine". My sister had this on 8-Track back in 1975 and I used to listen to it on our console system. Still love it today.
Any of you guys familiar with this power trio out of the UK? |
@boxer12 - Regarding Budgie: I would call them early heavy prog. Kind of like a heavy power trio, but prog progressions and lyrics. You can listen to "Bandolier", as well as many of their other albums, on YouTube. Here's one track off of "Bandolier" for you to check out: "Napoleon Bona Part One" and "two"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scIqFErh3v4
Listen to the whole 7 minutes as the are a few changes of pace, etc. Like many prog songs.... Let me know what you think. |
@boxer12 - You're welcome. That's why we're here. Well, at least the music geeks. Can't speak for the equipment geeks........ BTW, I use geek as an endearing term. I consider myself a proud one.....
|
Steve Gibbons Band - "Down in the Bunker"
|
Shelby Lynne - "Revelation Road" - Lunchtime listening....... |
The Rainmakers - "The Good News and the Bad News"
Hoo Dee Hoo......! |
@6t5-gto - BTW, judging you by your user name, I'll bet you would like the song "Shiny, Shiny" off of The Rainmakers album - "The Good News and the Bad News". Check it out on Youtube, Spotify, etc..... |
65 Goat,
Awesome! I always felt I had a secret band in my stash that no one knew. I Have "Bandolier", "If I Were Britannia, I'd Waive the Rules" and "Squak". Love them all. I should complete the discography, just for the fun of it...
|
Rockpile - "Seconds of Pleasure"
|
Beck - "Morning Phase" ...... Excellent!
|
Uber,
My son and I took a nice bike ride this morning to start the day. We road on the local MUP to avoid auto traffic. It was packed! I'm sure it would have been safer out on the roads with the cars.
BTW, nice find on The Bears record. I also found a nice sealed copy...... In 1987! |
@slaw - "They Only Come Out at Night" is one of my first LP purchases back in the day. I still have my original copy......... And it is beat! Can't bring myself to replace it. The cove has huge ring marks on the back cover, the record is beat and the cover has mildew on it. But, it's an original from back in my Jr. High school days, so I keep it.
|
@boxer12 - I have the poor man's version too. I enjoy it, but I also like box wine. Just sayin'.....
|
@boxer12 - What record store do you visit in Cincinnati? Shake it? Everybody's? There's a newer one up in Loveland called Plaid Room. It's awesome! They also have a record label and a recording studio. They have been producing some great new soul and re-releasing some great older out-of-print stuff. Next Friday they are moving into a new space, tripling their size, expanding their recording studio and adding some office spaces upstairs. It's going to be great! It's an awesome place to spend Record Store Day. Lot's of community involvement from local restaurants and micro-breweries. Fun stuff.

Jack Johnson - "In Between Dreams" - Brand new, from my LSR today.
So, I like Jack Johnson. He's just so chill.... My 15 year old son also likes him, so I've invested in new copies of both "In Between Dreams" and "Brushfire Fantasies" on vinyl. I like both these albums very much. However, unusually, I don't find the new vinyl LPs of these two albums to sound any better than the CDs I already owned. I'm a big fan of vinyl and I typically think vinyl typically sounds better. But in these two instances, I don't hear any difference. And my new copy of "In Between Dreams" is noisy. I'll clean it again to insure I didn't inadvertently deposit some crud on it. But I'm not impressed at the moment.
|
Ramsey Lewis - "Wade in the Water" Mono - Rescued today from the dollar bin at my LRS - Plaid Room Records in Loveland Ohio.
|
The Alarm - "Declaration" |
@slaw - Well good luck to you. I admire your dedication. Unfortunately I have family obligations and a hockey game tomorrow. I don't think my team would appreciate me coming to the game in a basket after staying up all night........ So, I'm outta here at about 2:15 am EST. I've given it the ol' college try, but I really do need to get some sleep.
Keep up the good fight brother....... So much vinyl, so little time...... |
@slaw - more listening, less planning...... ;~)
Did you get ANY sleep last night or today? Staying' up all night again? |
Courtney Barnett - "Tell Me How You Really Feel" - Just put it on and it’s my first time through. Saw Courtney live last week in Milwaukee and it was Outstanding! This girl can rock. And she’s just quirky enough to keep it interesting. Good stuff. Oh yeah, got the "Exclusive to Indie" Red Vinyl.....
|
|
The Alarm - "Strength" - I'm totally pump'd. The boys are coming to play the Ludlow Garage in Cincinnati on Nov. 8th. I can't wait..... |
World Party - "Goodbye Jumbo"
|
Son Volt - "Okemah and the Melody of Riot" Record Store Day Exclusive - Red Vinyl
|
Son Volt - "Okemah and the Melody of Riot" |
Vangelis - Music from the original soundtrack - "Chariots of Fire"
Polydor – PD-1-6335 Vinyl, LP, Album, PRC-Richmond Pressing
I haven't listened to this in years. It's pretty good, if your in the mood for that sort of thing.
