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?
Thank you. I did a trade in with my Mac MC152 amp with The Music Room and put the trade towards the MC302 they were selling. It took 10 days to receive the amp because of the FedEx 4 day shipping to send my amp out and for them to send the newer amp to me. I had a fantastic listening session today. I am getting too old. I had to put that 127 pound monster in the rack by myself. Back is a little sore today, but totally worth it.
In regard to amps & getting old; I put in a +100 pounder a couple weeks ago myself. My back complained for a couple days afterwards as well (LOL, kind of)
I like a number of their other songs too but this is the only album that I really like as a whole.
I like her voice a lot but it is a bit one dimensional and does not seem as rich as someone like Natalie Merchant who has a similar voice but maybe more depth and range.
boxer12, I will admit that I have not given The Trinity Sessions a serious sit down listen and even my experience with a number of their other albums is cursory. I should have said that their other albums didn't initially grab me the way Lay It Down did. So I can't really comment.
I'll give it a listen tomorrow night and try to remember to comment.
And speaking of alt country female singers, listening to Neko Case:
I'm also a fan of Neko Case & have several of her recordings. The ones you mention above are the ones I've been listening to the most lately. Both are very good IMO
@boxer12, Just listened to The Trinity Session and I like it okay. Sweet Jane, Blue Moon Revisited and Misguided Angel are particularly good. Many of these songs are covers and they do a good job but they're own stuff on Lay It Down is really good.
One article I read says that Lay It Down is their first album where they are pretty much fully rock rather than alt country. Lay It Down has an alt country vibe so I'm not sure I agree.
Anyway, give Lay It Down a listen. So far, to me, its their best work.
I recapped my Denon DRA-1025RA last night and then safety checked it. So today I'm shoving and slamming absolutely everything I own on CD from '89 to '95 thru warehouse-find, boxed and original foam JBL LX44's. The Mac and B&Ws are in timeout. Living the glory days of Circuit City and J&R Music World. All on single tray Sony CDP-670. Any CD that got destroyed I'll try to find as Master on Tidal and push through as MQA through new DAC, oh well. My ears were better then, but currently testing the neighbors and house foundation. R.E.M., Police, Pixies, GnR, Depeche Mode, Cars, U2, Rush and Boston somehow slipping in there. Woohoo!
