Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1
My plan for the rest of the evening...

David Gilmore  "Rattle That Lock"
Graham Parker  "The Mona Lisa's Sister"
Bob Marley  "Exodus"  MFSL
Ass Ponys - "electric rock music" - Still one of my favorite records by a local band from here in Cincinnati.
@slaw - Nope, never heard "Eden Alley". I'll check it out.

Listening to "Nilsson Schmilsson" now. I haven't heard it in years. It's pretty good stuff. Side 2 is near epic with 3 of his biggest hits on that one record side.
@ reubent,

Ever heard Timbuk 3 "Eden Alley"? Nice!

I own the HN lp as well.

Magnolia Electric Co. "Fading Trails" 

Robert Finley  "Goin' Platinum" 
I love Fridays (and Tuesdays). Those are used bin restocking days at my Local Record Store. Walked out this morning with these beauties from the today's bin:

Harry Nilsson - "Nilsson Schmilsson" - original 1971 release
Chet Baker - "Quartet" w/Russ Freeman - 2016 Vinyl Lover remaster
Ass Ponys - "electric rock music"  - Score! Never seen one of these before. New, unopened in the used bin. The LRS owner says the band members are regulars and they sometimes bring in excess stock and trade on other stuff. Was luck to find this one.

And, from new stock - The Record Store Day 2018 Release of Son Volt - "Okemah and the Melody of Riot" (Thanks to the recommendation from @slaw )

Once through the spin clean and I'll be listening to new records this evening....

@reubent,

Yeah, I bought it but it was defective, sent it back, never replaced it.

Actually, I think I saw they have a newer one out after "NOB".?
@slaw - Somehow I missed  Son Volt "Okemah and the Melody of Riot" when it can out. I took a quick listen on YouTube and liked what I heard. They have it in stock at my LRS, so I think I'll pick it up next time in in the shop.

I'm curious if you bought the most recent Son Volt Record - "Notes of Blue" and what you think about it. I bought it when it first came out and I like it quite a bit.
Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio - "Close But No Cigar"

Funky Organ Soul Jazz.......... If you like that sort of thing......
My Denon turntable is playing Melody Gardot, Jane Monheit and Swan Lake -Boston Symphony Orchestra conductor Seiji Ozawa

Ah yeah, the debut Butterfield album! That was a game-changer, having a huge effect on us suburban white teenage musicians, making the British blues-wannabe’s we had been listening to and learning from irrelevant and obsolete. Dylan had heard Mike Bloomfield’s guitar playing, and hired him for his next couple of albums, saying Mike was the best guitarist he had ever heard (as seen in the Scorcese documentary on Dylan, which is fantastic). I saw Bloomfield live only once, in The Electric Flag in 1968 (with the great Buddy Miles on drums). the doors had a real hard time following them on stage ;-), sounding rather anemic in comparison.

Ya ever hear what Sonny Boy Williamson told The Hawks (later The Band) when he jammed with them in ’65? He had just returned from a UK tour, where he had been backed by a lot of the British "Blues" bands. He told them "They (the British players) want to play the Blues in the worst way, and that’s just how they play it." Good one, Sonny Boy! He and The Hawks made plans to tour together, but Williamson dropped dead before it could happened. They instead became Dylan’s road band, touring with him 1965-6. I have two old friends/bandmates who saw them together at The San Jose Civic Auditorium in late ’65, which I now would kill to have been at. I wasn’t hip to Dylan yet; he seemed like a beatnik to me ;-), weird and kinda scary.

Up next, what I've been waiting for, for a long time....

Son Volt "Okemah and the Melody of Riot" (on vinyl!)
Procol Harum - "A Salty Dog"  2017 Mofi re-issue.....again.....

It's so good.....
Cowboy Junkies - "The Trinity Session" - The last of my RSD 2018 purchases......
The Supremes - "at the Copa" - I saw this in the used record bin at my LRS on Record Store Day 2018. I couldn't resist! I remember my oldest sister listening to this back when I was a wee lad. It brings back good memories.
Supertramp - "Paris" - Another Record Store Day pick from the used bins - $3.99 for a really nice, clean copy of this live double LP.
Steve Earle - "Townes-The Basics" - Another Record Store Day pick from the used record bins....
Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio - "Live at KEXP"

Awesome Stuff...... Funky Organ Soul Jazz. These guys played on Record Store Day 2018 at my LRS - Plaid Room Records. Was great fun....
Willie Nelson - "Startdust" - MoFi Silver Label - Picked up an unopened copy from the used record bins at my LSR on Record Store Day. $16.99 for a new one! A great pick......
Procol Harum - "A Salty Dog" - MoFi re-issue, just arrived in the mail today...... Nice!
Finishing up the first pass of the 3 World Party LP's I just purchase from the UK via eBay. Last one up:

World Party - "Bang"
@bdp24,

I just put on Buddy Miller "Cruel Moon" (lp)


How's that for timing?
