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
The best of Chuck Mangione.

Cassette.
I have a lot of Mangione albums and I would NOT say this tape anywhere near accurately portrays the best of him.
Travis.  The Invisible Band.     I really like this album, you may too....
Soltero / You're no dream
Folk rock (for the most part). He crafts his songs with some interesting stuff going on in the background
Vietnam / Self Titled 
Rock. I have a couple albums from this band & like them both. They know how to craft a good song around interesting lyrics
Grand Eagle .... Ed Van Fleet.

Cassette.

I have no idea how to categorize this!
New Age Electronic Tranquility Mood Music?
It's nicely recorded at least.....
Welcome cpturf!

Soul Coughing / Lust in phaze
Indie rock similar to the band "Cake"
JJ Cale - Naturally, this morning in the shower. I-pod and Tivoli
Lou Reed - Rock and Roll Animal, on the way to a construction meeting. Cassette
Steely Dan - Aja, this afternoon in the office. CD
Crusaders - Ongaku Kai, this evenings cocktail hour. Vinyl

Lucky Peterson - Tribute to Jimmy Smith on Tidal

Groovy Hammond B3 Jazz - Nicely done - excellent recording
+1 Uber

Wax Poetic / Istanbul
This band is eclectic. Mostly rock with jazz, club, & African influences
Out of Time ..... R.E.M.

Cassette.

For me this is the definitive R.E.M album and not Monster which seems to always get the popular vote.

I will have to give The Sea & The Bells a listen Boxer👍
I agree Uber

Rachel’s / The sea & the bells
This is a rock band that has heavy percussion (at times) with a lot of piano & strings. Nice stuff. Similar to the band "Silver Mt. Zion", but not as hard.
Discipline ranks up there as one of my fave KC albums, it just pushed all the right buttons for me.

I have it on DVD-A too remastered by Steve Wilson and the SQ is off the charts there.
What did you think of that Uber. I really like the Adrian period of KC but know some who don't. 

The Low Anthem / The salt doll
Mellow indie rock.  
Hindu Love Gods

Very interesting. Just found a sealed copy on cassette at Discogs and snatched it up.
Hindu Love Gods
Warren Zevon in a rather inebriated state backed by REM after a formal recording session. Throwing down a few standards unrehearsed and not intended for release.
REM at the time were one of THE best meat and potatoes backing outfits you could hire, and they sure prove it on this set. A whole lot of fun, and probably more so than some of their proper releases.
Tim Fite / Gone ain’t gone
Kind of country, kind if hip hop, but leaning rock wise
If colorful language offends you, don’t listen :-)
Renee Rosnes piano trio.... Remarkable and underestimated Jazz pianist on par with his husband, Bill Charlap piano trio, which is on par with Eddie Higgins piano trio....But the woman is the best of the 2 at the end, without taking off anything from his husband and Higgins.... Three extraordinary trios for me this week....

«If organ is the elephant , piano is the lion king » -Groucho Marx

«Trumpet is my eagle» Harpo Marx
Ella and Louis. Verve recording via Amazon Music. 
Sonically a great recording. 
Double cassette compilation that may not suit all here.

Greenpeace... Rainbow Warriors.
I absolutely prefer cassette replay to 99.5%of CD at least that I own.
Cassette tape is very analog, and on a good rig with good tape it can get very close to vinyl.

Not " perfect sound forever"
Thankfully...😂😂
Do you guys generally find you like the sound of cassettes better than cd's,
or just a different sound and change of pace?

Levon Helm / Electric dirt 
Alt country hippy music. A legendary musician that was a member of the "Band". 
n80,
The band "Do Make Say Think" also recorded an album in a barn. Add’s for an interesting ambiance.

Uber +1

Eleanor Friedberger / Rebound
She was one of the two main musicians in the band "The Fiery Furnaces". On her own she doesn’t take the chances she did in that band (that band was very eclectic), & brings her solo music closer to the mainstream. She is very talented.
Khruangbin- Con Todo El Mundo.

Really liking this stuff. Very well recorded. In a barn they say.
I need listen to a bit more Nick Cave for sure Boxer.👍👍.

Left Overture ..... Kansas.

Cassette
Nick Cave / Dig Lazarus dig
Indie rock from one of the best songwriters ever
Silver Jews / Starlite walker
Indie rock skating in the direction of alt country
