I have my SB "Looking In" lp framed and up on the wall. Always loved that album cover. SB is well represented in my music library.
Saw SB ~ 3 years back at Rams Head in Annapolis, MD. Good stuff! |
Cool @tomic601. That Tony Rice Unit lineup did an earlier album, Still Inside, also on Rounder Records. Rounder was for years about the best label in the world imo, with an incredible roster of artists. NRBQ, one of my favorite bands when guitarist/songwriter/singer Al Anderson was a member, made a lot of albums that came on the label. Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, and Costello were all huge NRBQ fans. I jammed with Tony Rice Unit bassist Todd Phillips last in 2012, I believe it was. He was playing his 18th Century German upright, so I know exactly what it's suppose to sound like when reproduced (assuming the recording engineer did his job well). More recently Todd has been on the road with Joan Baez. Todd played a Fender Precision bass when we were kids in San Jose, and started going up to Marin in '71 to study mandolin with David Grisman (partly a result of the effect The Band's brown album had on all of us). Dave told him there were a lot of good mandolin players around, but a shortage of standup bass players (Dan Hicks had one in his band). Todd took Dave's advice, and ended up working with him! |
Jade Imagine "Basic Love" |
@nicks25: I noticed that too — except for Simmonds, band members would come and go frequently. Made me wonder if Kim Simmonds was a bitch to work with/for. |

Regarding Savoy Brown, any of you have "Getting to the Point"? Good blues lp. |

Steely Dan - "The Royal Scam" |
@slaw I don’t have Getting to the Point and have not heard it. Thanks for the tip. I’ll stream it and then possibly purchase.
@bob540 - I was thinking the same thing! |
Elton John, “Tumbleweed Connection” & Jayhawks, “Hollywood Town Hall.” Well, my table is still bugging. Motor needs a re-alignment so back to streaming.
Jayhawks are so much fun. Moved in a set of JM Reynaud Twins on some nice Target open stands; really glad I did. What a fabulous set of monitors. So open & detailed w/just the right amount of pop & punch. They mate perfectly with a late 80’s Tandberg 3012 integrated & Rega Dac. Gonna enjoy these for a while...

Elton John, “Tumbleweed Connection” & Jayhawks, “Hollywood Town Hall.”
Those are 2 great albums. "Hollywood Town Hall" is one of my all-time favorites. Also, I've always wanted to hear the JMR Twins. Everything I've read about them made them sound like a speaker I would enjoy. |
@slaw +1 on “Exactly Like This”
it’s interesting how blues records can be, for me anyway, the best way to start the day. I often turn to music made by J.B. Hutto, or Guitar Slim, or Brooks, or Seals, or even Clapton to get me going. This Doug MacLeod is great. Thanks for the post. |
BTW, love this:
“Doug says the most important lessons he learned as a young musician came from Ernest Banks a one-eyed country bluesman from Toano, VA.
"Never play a note you don't believe” and "Never write or sing about what you don't know about.”
|
When I miss a note on bass, I always say less is sometimes more.... |
@bgross that Tandberg is a real winner 2 |
