Ronstadt / Riddle - ‘Round Midnight ( server
the perfect balance of perfectly voiced vocal microphone , instruments AND dripping sound stage ambience….

Roger Waters "Amused To Death" This album is the ultimate in ambience, width, and outside-of-the-speakers effects. But it also has the most incredible center-stage vocals I have ever heard. In the room with you, almost scary.
I'm heading to the Big Island, Hawaii, tomorrow. Unfortunately not a vacation, but to visit with my very ill sister. I'll still check in and get ideas of what to play upon my return, next weekend.
Be safe and be healthy. |
Safe travels Joel. Prayers for your sister; Grace, peace and a restoration to health !
|
All the best with your trip tomorrow Joel. Sorry to hear about your sisters health issue.

Well, the Browns broke my heart today. Thought they had the win today in very tough surroundings on the road in KC. But, not to be at the end.
So, after watching all the post game ‘stuff’ I could, it’s time to sooth my soul with music.

@waltersalas thx, really digging Mercy Now
i am a sucker for pared down but gut wrenching, this is a master work in that respect… wow |
@tomic601 If your enjoying Mary Gauthier, give Trouble and Love a listen. That album found me when I needed it.
I need to go record shopping!
Gill Fuller & the Monterey Jazz Festival Orchestra. Featuring Dizzy Gillespie…. Man from Monterey sounds alive. A nice find.

Mercy Now and Trouble and Love are just awesome - thank you @waltersalas and @sourpus123 |
I just watched a video made by an acquaintance of mine about his time in Vietnam as part of Operation Phoenix. I have known Roger for about 10 years and I knew he was retired Army but had no idea what he had done during the war. I am not trying to make any political statement but if you are interested, the interview can be found in the link below. It is almost an hour and 30 minutes. https://www.vietnamwar50th.com/history_and_legacy/oral_history/jordheim,-roger/ |

Roger Waters – The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking (Harvest 1984)
Bought it when it was released. Still remember being blown away by it. Technics belt drive, Rotel amp and cheap KEF speakers. "Sexual Reeeevvvolution." They were the days. Thought we would live forever. |
Pink Floyd: DSOTM

&noromance +1 4 pros and cons. Bought It new on cassette. Recently overpaid for a vinyl copy that’s rather scratchy. Eyes open for another, better copy.
Also want Amused to Death on Vinyl if only for Jeff Beck on the opening track. Ex took the cd in the divorce.

@tomic601 +1 on the Zevon Jim. I don't know if you ever had a chance to see him perform, but he was quite the showman.
@sourpuss123 There's a new 45RPM of Amused to Death from Analogue Productions available for preorder. |
|
@noromance +1 bkeske. That is a pretty unusual recording selection of Brahms by Bernstein. Really nice, and a very good recording for 1968. Recommended. |
It's Not Big, It's Large. Lyle Lovett. Awesome sonics. |
