I pulled out Box of Frogs "S/T" for the first time in 30 years. "Harder" reminded me of the Keith Richards lp "Talk Is Cheap". Then I looked at the album dates. BOF came out 4 years earlier than "Talk Is Cheap". I'm cleaning 'TIC" right now.
Of coarse Keith has had his signature licks for a great while. Just thought it was an interesting comparison. |

Freddy Hubbard sounds really good on plain old generic vinyl, but my standby is the Dixie Direct studio's Live at Rosie O'Grady's Good Time Jazz Emporium. On apex enhanced Direct to Disc. Get a low serial number. |
Stealing Fire is a great record...... |

sjtm,
Wasn't "Sunken Condos" a Donald Fagen lp?
I use to shop Insound. They have really changed.... also, IME, they rarely have anything I want in stock.
FWIW, I always check out Oldies.com before I hit BUY.
Cheers!
|
Red Rider "Neruda"
A great unknown lp!
|
reubent,
If I may be so bold as to recommend, based on your Shovels & Rope,... check out Jason Isbell's first two solo lps if you haven't already? Excellent!
Cheers!
|
Oldie but goodie - Sunken Condos. If you do not own this, they are on sale at Insound - $17.99. Depending on your music tastes, they also have a number of reissues at very low prices. I just bought 20 albums this month - total cost was around $250 with shipping. |
At times I feel a need for a reset in terms of how I hear/evaluate lps.
Today, after the above records, I put on Harry James "The King James Version" Sheffield Labs/ D2D.
This will make you sit up and take notice!

astro58go,
Shovels and Rope live, especially "up-close and personal" in a small venue, is one of the most engaging shows I've seen. The interaction between Michael and Cary Ann is amazing. Go see them live if you get the opportunity.
BTW, they are playing two nights at The Ryman Auditorium in February. |
A cave.....
This got me thinking... The Page/Plant "No Quarter" lp from 1994 was recorded in a cave? At least on the MTV video special from that era, they were performing in a cave.
The SQ is amazing! I've heard a 10th anniversary re-issue on another system and I can recommend that one should stay away from that one.
It's playing right now.
Happy Listening! |
The Blasters "Live At The Venue London". It's crazy how great this lp sounds!
reubent,
I have Shovels & Rope "S/T" lp. I love the artist and the music. I saw them on one of the PBS specials a while back, something like, Bluegrass Underground? Live performances in one of our (US) caves. Michael Trent was sweating beads!!!

Wallflowers - Bringing Down the Horse - 20th Anniversary 2-LP Set
|
I played my new copy of Shovels and Rope -Little Seeds. I don't love it yet, although I do love the duo and they are one of the best lives shows I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot!).
However! I do have to say the LP is one of the coolest packages I've ever seen. It's a double LP with 3 sides of music. Side 4 is a really cool etching of the bands logo. It's pressed on translucent red vinyl and the logo is visible through the vinyl. It is really cool. Almost worth the price, just for the cool factor....... almost..... |
