Whats on your turntable tonight?

The War On Drugs – Slave Ambient

The Band - Music From Big Pink. Capitol 1968

Glen Hansard - "Drive All Night"

Again! Thanks to @astro58go for recommending this back in 2016.

Jerry Garcia - ‘Garcia’ (added via a sticker). WB 1972

John Mayall - Back To The Roots. Polydor 2LP gatefold 1971

The Butterfield Blues Band - Sometimes I Just Feel Like Smilin'. Elektra 1971

Listening to New York Stories Vol 1 right now. Danny Gatton on guitar is just killing it! My favourite recording featuring him ever, which is saying a lot considering his catalogue. Of course it doesn't hurt that he shares the stage with heavyweights like Bobby Watson, Charles Fambrough and others 

It's a shame there was never a Vol 2

Canned Heat - Boogie with Canned Heat. Liberty 1968

John Hiatt - The Eclipse Sessions. New West Records 2018

Leo Kottke & Mike Gordon - Noon. ATO Records 2020

@bdp24 Yes, I like that Winchester album. Can you recommend any other album from him?

@sbank, It's great to see early Fleetwood Mac members on that list

Time Machines / ST

Rust Never Sleeps

Miles Davis-On The Corner 2016 Mofi

Dexter Gordon-Doin' Allright 2009 Music Matters 45rpm

Neil Young - Homegrown. Reprise 2020

Barn Owl / V

Mose Allison

I Don't Worry About a Thing

Atlantic  1962

Mick Fleetwood / The visitor 

Paul Simon / Graceland 

Lou Rawls-All Things in Time Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Judas Priest-Unleased In The East Side 2

Van Morrison & The Chieftains-Irish Heartbeat Side B SQ Audiophile

Gary Morris-Plain Brown Wrapper Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Bryd/Kessel/Ellis-Great Guitars At The Winery(CJ-131) Side 1

Sea Level-Ball Room Side 2 SQ Audiophile

The Bernie Leadon/Michael Georgiades Band-Natural Progressions Side 2 SQ*

Frank Sinatra-Come Fly With Me(Capitol SW 920) Side 1

All recordings were above average regarding SQ. Unexpectedly Concord Jazz was the weakest recording maybe due to the live recording. *Leadon/Georgiades would have the SQ crown but the vocals were to recessed. The SQ champ tonight goes to Lou Rawls. Everything was in balance and the vocal/instrument separation was excellent.

S&G / Sound of silence 

Jackson Browne - "Hold Out"

Red House Painters - "Songs for a Blue Guitar"

Radiohead: Kid A

Nat King Cole / The Best Of Nat King Cole
1968 Capitol

The Wonderful Sounds Of Male Vocals / side B
2020 Sony / Analogue Productions 

The Roches - Keep On Doing   

the worst record including Fripp, Bruford and Levin. I could have almost bought something at Dollar Tree with that $0.99!

Molly Burch - First Flower

Sara Watkins – Under The Pepper Tree (New West 2021)

This is a gem. Lullabies and kid’s songs. Excellent recording and silent vinyl. Recommended.

EDIT: no sooner than I posted this, some vinyl whosh noise appeared on last two tracks!

Maria McKee - High Dive (save your money and stream it if you're a fan)

David Bromberg – My Own House (Fantasy 1978)

Great sparse acoustic fiddle and guitar playing. Clear recording. Solid.

Jonah Tolchin – Clover Lane (Yep Roc  2014)

@dredison 

Listening to New York Stories Vol 1 right now.

Do you have that on vinyl? I don't see a vinyl release on Discogs. I also checked to see if it was on Spotify, but couldn't find it. I do see it on YouTube. Guess I'll stream it through YouTube, then buy it on CD if I love it.

Thanks for the recommendation...

@sbank  - Hey Spencer, been streaming Robbie Robertson - "How to Become Clairvoyant" and like it pretty well on first listen. Now have a Mint/Sealed copy coming via a Discogs purchase.

Thanks for the recommendation...

I have that RR lp. I don't remember being a big fan of it. Will revisit it when I get back to listening.

@bkeske 

Canned Heat - Boogie with Canned Heat. Liberty 1968

Hey Brian… Great LP, a lot to like. My copy is high mileage, happy to see somebody else playing it too. Love the music (hippie genre, haha?), song titles (Fried Hockey Boogie!), band members’ nicknames. Their music was a major omission from the Easy Rider soundtrack IMO, On The Road Again shoulda been there.

@reubent 

I have it on cd. It is definitely one of my desert island disks and I've probably listened to it the most out of my (many) jazz albums 

Let me know what you think after listening to it 

Cheers 

@dredison  - Listening to New York Stories Vol 1 now on YouTube. Really good stuff.

Nilsson – Duit On Mon Dei (RCA Victor 1975)

Mud Acres – Music Among Friends (Rounder 1972)

Country Joe And The Fish – Together (Vanguard 1968)

@bslon 

Canned Heat has always been a fav of mine. I need to get the whole collection, and working on it, only have 3 rights now. 2 of which I've had since the mid-70's.

Great band, but when The Bear, Bob Hite, died, that was pretty much the end. At least for me. 

Larry Taylor, on bass, also recorded extensivly with John Mayall, another fav from that time.

But, I tell'ya, that Butterfield Blues Band Album I have just kicks serious butt too. The SQ is really really good. I really need to dig in and find some others from them, or, some other albums Paul Butterfield released. If that album is any indication, they did a splendid job recording and engineering their albums.

@noromance 

+1 On country Joe. Have that one too.

Agree about the band losing The Bear.
I have the Paul Butterfield Blues Band on Edsel Records/England, has Mike Bloomfield, Elvin Bishop and others. Recently played…

Porcupine Tree - "Recordings"

@sbank Thanks for the heads up about "The Roaches" album

@femoore12 +1 for "Recordings"

Steve, Hope everything is going well with you!

Fire! / (without noticing) 

New Mayfair & Ray Noble – Rarities, Jazz With A British Accent (Sunbeam 1973)

20's and 30s recordings. Not audiophile but what great music. Love it.
