+1 - I love Steve Earle - "El Corazón"

The first time I saw Steve Earle was the tour following the release of this album. Back then, he was a rocker! Blew the joint up!

2 of my all-time favorite Steve Earle songs are from this album. "N.Y.C" and "Here I Am".

May have to spin it tonight. You know, for the Christmas song on the record ;~)

 

 

 

Brewer and Shipley - "Tarkio"

I bought this mint/sealed at Plaid Room Records about 3 years ago for $5.99! I mean, even if I didn't like it so much, hard to go wrong for $6, especially considering it contained their big hit - "One Toke Over the Line". Much to my surprise, it's a pretty darn good album. I got a bargain!

@weegoody  @klaatuzero - Welcome to the " Whats on your turntable tonight?" thread. Keep 'em coming.....
@j_damon  - I love "Every Picture Tells a Story". It's in my top 10 favorite rock albums, without a doubt. I don't recall the author, but it was rated #1 best rock album in a book of the top 500 rock albums of all time. For me, it will never top "Who's Next", but it pretty darn good IMHO.
Max Webster - "A Million Vacations"

Fun stuff from back in my College Days. Saw Max Webster open a couple of times for Rush back in 1979/80ish. Kim Mitchell was a GREAT front man.

To continue my streak of Cincinnati bands I started last night with Ass Ponys and Wussy... Fresh in the mail today...

Frontier Folk Nebraska - "Frontier F**K Nebraska"

It's not folk music, and they're not from Nebraska...

@ chefscg - Welcome to the "What's on your Turntable Tonight?" thread. Keep 'em coming.....

@loomisjohnson  - i never warmed up to wussy, but electric rock music might be the great lost album of the 90s--it's brilliant.

Yep, I agree that Wussy has not lived up to Ass Ponys. I'm lukewarm on Wussy, but hot for Ass Ponys!

And I agree, "Electric Rock Music" is a 90's masterpiece. I consider myself lucky to have been around Cincy while Ass Ponys were active in the local bars.

Aaron Parks - "Little Big"

Anyone else have this? I like it... Especially for late night, or early morning listening.

@boxer12  - Who would you compare him too?

Good question. Nothing comes to mind. It's a type of contemporary jazz/rock fusion I guess. But not like any of the jazz/rock fusion I listened to back in the '70's. Just sounds much more contemporary.

@spiritofradio - What you you call it? Do you know anyone similar?

@spiritofradio  - I've never heard of Hudson. I'll try to find it on my streaming service and give it a listen.

BTW, just finally finished building/configuring 2 Raspberry Pi 3 based music servers running Volumio OS. Tried over the last couple of years, but the OS I was using was not very user friendly. The switch to Volumio was a revelation. Both working perfectly now and sound pretty darn good. One in the office and one in the man-cave audio room.

@spiritofradio  - "Jan Hammer" you say? I'm in! Love that guy. Check out: 

 

Jan Hammer - "Oh, Yeah?"

Jeff Beck with The Jan Hammer Group - "Live"

John Abercrombie (w/Jan Hammer and Jack DeJohnette) - "Timeless"

The title track of "Timeless" is my all-time favorite night-time closer.

@david_ten  - Do you listen to vinyl? I always see your post on the "What's Playing on Your System Today?" thread. I know you stream. Do you also play vinyl?

As others have said, would be great to see you over here too...

@spiritofradio @boxer12  

This -> "It doesn’t really need to be categorized though, you know.  Good stuff."

This is a really good record. It's a double LP and it sounds GREAT! Stream it, then buy it on vinyl if you like it...

Aaron Parks - "Little Big"
