@barnettk - Welcome Back! Hope you were well over your A-goN hiatus...
Whats playing on your system today?
Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.
I listened to Trower songs:
Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....
Then I pulled out "Gamma".
I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....
Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?

nutty, I thought I was the only person on this side of the pond that listened to Budgie. I've got 3 or 4 of there records. Great stuff. Ahead of there time by a few years, I think. Early prog IMHO. U in Cinci? If you want to sample a few of their CD,s let me know. BTW, Lucinda Williams is at the 20th Century next Tuesday. I'll be there.... |
Listening to all vinyl tonight. Pulling out some stuff I haven't listed to in years and a couple of regulars..... Dwight Twilley Band - Twilley Don't Mind Robin Trower - Long Misty Days Budgie - Bandolier Carlos Santana and Mahavishnu John McLaughlin - Love Devotion Surrender Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Joe Jackson - Night and Day |
Robin Trower - Long Misty Days (LP) Lunchtime Jams! Listend to Jeff Beck - Loud Hailer (LP) again this morning. I'm still in shock over how much I enjoy this record for a 2016 offering. I don't recall hearing anything new I like better over the last few years. I think it's a great mix of classic and contemporary rock, blues rock and good songwriting. Throw in a big dose of protest and politics and it makes for a great listening session. Oh, did I mention the huge wall of sound? Will make your system sound BIG! |
It's live music Wednesday at the Reubent house. Band of Horses - Acoustic at the Ryman And one of the most amazing recordings in my collection: Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez - Live From the Ruhr Triennale. If you don't have this Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez recording, you need it. A truly inspired performance and a great sounding recording.... |
Leon Bridges - Coming Home (180G vinyl LP) The video for "River", from this album, is moving. Give it a look........ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hegd4xNfRo |
Hey Nutty, What a coincidence. I just finished listening to "Squawk" from Budgie tonight. I wonder if we're the only two people in Cincinnati who listened to Budgie tonight? BTW, I like "Napoleon Bona - Part II" too.... I have to give a shout out to my Sister Debby for my love of Budgie. I found an 8-Track of Squawk in her car in about 1975 and I've been listening to them ever since. RIP sweetie. I miss you......... |
Bettye LaVette is Bad A$$ and that's all I got to say about that...... I'll let her speak for herself. Try this one - Joan Armatrading's "Down to Zero" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHr6fY5ASLQ |
@nutty - I'm a big fan of Crack the Sky. In 1978-82, my college roommate was from Weirton, West Virginia where CTS originated. He brought all his LPs to our apt. Loved them ever since... |
I’m listening to Radio Paradise (again!) tonight. Honestly, if broadcast radio was this good, I’d have to get a tuner again. Do you guys listen to RP internet radio? It’s friggin’ awesome IMHO. I have my little Raspberry Pi music streamer/renderer playing it at low volume 24X7 in my basement listing room. I’ll drop in at 7am, lunch, after work and late at night just to hear what they are playing. I absolutely love their eclectic mix. BTW, playing right now of RP - THE classic screamin’ guitar jam - "Big Country". |
@ghosthouse - Radio Paradise doesn't really have on-air personalities or much commentary. It does have the owners - Bill and Rebecca Goldsmith, who personally curate the music and provide a bit of commentary.Bill was a radio DJ for many years, and a radio station manager. He has a great voice for radio and a very soothing delivery. What it does offer is an eclectic mix of rock, folk, singer/songwriter, alt-country, Americana, pop, jazz and classical music. They do an excellent job of transitioning from one song, to the next. Sometimes the music flows for hours on end. I too miss the great radio stations of the past. Radio Paradise fills the void. And then some...... |
Hey Nutty, Have you heard Trixie Whitley with the band Black Dub? Black Dub is an excellent album IMHO. So, I'll see you your Trixie Whitley and raise you a Holly Smith......... Holly Smith "Philosophy" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbCczzHiN68&list=PL44792563C1049E8C |
