Whats on your turntable tonight?

The Jimi Hendrix Experience-Are You Experienced(RS-6261) Side 2

Red Norvo Combo-Vibes Ala Red Side A

John B. Sabastian-ST Side 2

Molly Hatchet-Take No Prisoners Side 1

The 5th Dimension-Living Together Growing Together Side 1

Procol Harum-In Concert With The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra Side 1

Aerosmith-Get Your Wings Side 1 SQ*

Red Holloway & Company(CJ-322) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Another Concord Jazz SQ win. SQ* played Wings before but did not have the very good SQ like today. An OP yard sale find in VG cover/VG+ vinyl. Will look for a better OP pass on repress. Procol Harum-What great music! Excellent cover of "Day By Day" from the 5TH. Hatchet’s "All Mine" has a Skynyrd type grind with extra power on tap, with good SQ for rock.

Swans / Leaving meaning 

Animal Collective / Merriweather 

@dayglow + 1 on Get Your Wings. An all time favorite. Do you know the story about the guitar solos?

@spiritofradio 

I thought "Night In The Ruts" had the gossip? about Joe Perry not playing on the recording? 

I never saw Joe Perry play the solo on their version of “Train Kept a Rollin’” but I’ve heard from several others that he does it well. On the record the “dueling” lead guitar solos are Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter. The same fellas who played dual lead for Alice Cooper during his best years. Interesting couple of guys. Hunter plays that iconic 5/4 acoustic guitar lead-in on Salsbury Hill. Wagner put out a few albums including with his band Ursa Major but neither ever played anything as memorable to me as those solos on Train Kept A Rollin; which, I feel are, musically, some of the best guitar solos ever recorded. Notwithstanding the often low esteem held for that band and that record and what Aerosmith may have eventually become.

@bslon thanks for the Kurt Vile tip. Missed this one.

@bslon   Agreed! Will spin "Rocks" on next vinyl night... Friday?

@artemus_5 I actually met Jon Butcher in 1988ish. They were in town opening for someone-sorry the details escape me (was a foggy decade) and stayed in the hotel where my roommate worked. Talked to him for a bit in the hotel bar. Very nice guy!

@j_husker Cool story.  Do you have a favorite from his records?

Beta Radio - Ancient Transition 

Train Kept a Rollin’ deserves a massive stack of JBL….

A rose by any other name…

But yes! Whatever they use in stadiums and battlefields.  

@spiritofradio I love Montrose but I'm not familiar with that title.

 So many guest stars and all 4 Beatles on this one.

Three Dog Night / “One”

Deep Purple / The Book Of Taliesyn 
1968 Tetragrammaton

@bdp24 I enjoy your insight!
But I always thought Aerosmith’s version of Train was just a lead-in to their best cut: Seasons Of Wither. 😎

Ah, the sounds of youth... must have burned through 3 cassettes of "Live Bootleg". Would pump it hard through the Concord/Jensen setup in my '75 Blazer. What a battleship - couldn't park it anywhere in Boston. Lord of the Thighs was my personal favorite off "Get Your Wings",... think "Rocks" rocks the hardest though. @artemus_5  - need to pull out some JB tonight. He, like Charlie Farren are two Boston Music Icons that never enjoyed the traction nationally they deserved; big talents.

James McMurtry and the Heartless Bastards - "Live in Aught-Three"

Fantastic Folk-Rock/Americana album IMHO. Discovered when I heard "No More Buffalo" several years ago streaming Radio Paradise...

Curious if any of you guys have this one? Also, curious if you have any of McMurtry's studio albums? This music just seems to fit a live bar show so well...

These just in:

@reubent I’ve streamed McMurtry’s music, including his latest, and have it on my want list. I think he’s great. Don’t think I’ve heard that live album. If I remember correctly there are a couple big fans of his around here. @slaw ​​​​@waltersalas maybe.

Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused to Sing
Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet                                              

Maneige- Maneige 
Nick Mason - Fictitious Sports 

@spiritofradio  - The live album is excellent! Give it a quick stream if it's on your streaming service. I can vouch for the quality of the vinyl. It sounds great. Very intimate.

@reubent @spiritofradio 

I am indeed a huge fan of McMurtry, who I think is as good as any songwriter currently out there.

I agree his live albums are excellent, this one and Live in Europe from 2009. His studio albums are also great. You can find his new one, "The Horses and the Hounds," as well as "Childish Things" pretty easily on vinyl, both good pressings to my ears. Others are a little harder to find or pricier, and I do not believe the "Best of the Sugar Hill Years" has ever been released on vinyl, although I play it as much as any McMurtry I own and hope someday it will be.

Lucinda Williams used to write songs as indelible as McMurtry's, but she doesn't anymore. But McMurtry is as good as ever. If you get a chance to go see him, don't pass it up.

@waltersalas Thanks.
