Beethoven's Symphony #9, Riccardo Chailly, and to think that Beethoven was probably completely deaf when he wrote this glorious piece of music!
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?

Are there any Blue Oyster Cult fans out there? I Just listened to Secret Treaties, again. It’s my favorite, a classic Cult! Not the best recording on CD, I do remember it being better on LP. "Career of evil", any albumn with these lyrics: "...I’d like your blue eyed horseshoe, I’d like your emerald horny toad. I’d like to do it to your daughter on a dirt road..." has to be great. Right? Don't forget " Dominance and Submission". Great song great guitar work and vocal effects. Onto- Agents of fotrune, "Don’t fear ths reaper" and others Mirrors, is great too. "Vigil" and "I am the storm" and others. I could be here all day. N |

gshephardbuster, Sorry to hear your CD player is in dry dock. Hope it's nothing serious. I'm listening to Black Mountain, I V Great effort on this new one for 2016. https://youtu.be/b8qJgaS2rX4 N |
Not to beat a dead horse... BUT, while I might not be the world's biggest Robin Trower fan, for whatever reason, been listening to him a good deal yesterday and today. Going through some of his older discography that I'm less familiar with (i.e., NOT Bridge of Sighs that I know too well), e.g., Long Misty Days, Twice Removed & City Dreams, I was really struck by James Dewar's vocal on Bluebird from City Dreams. What a beautiful voice. Also pulled up two of Trower's more recent releases: 2016's Where Are You Going To & 2015's Something's About to Change. Gosh, even on Spotify, the sonics on these recordings are superb. The song writing is strong and Trower sounds excellent. Very economical and tasteful guitar playing. Thanks to all who've posted earlier about RT. Might just have to buy WAYG & SATC. |
Hey Nutty. Thanks. Good hearing from you. Was away a little bit. Got to say, Trower sounds darn good on those 2 latest releases. I didn't even realize it was him singing until I came across a reviewer on Amazon commenting about it. Heck, even if he's getting some auto tune help....he sounds real good - vocally, instrumentally, writing-wise - never mind for a 70 something. BTW - Robin Trower LIVE which I'd never heard before was an absolute revelation to me. Just splurged on 2 BGO double CDs: Earth Below & Live; Long Misty Days & City Dreams + Twice Removed (also a BGO CD). Will listen to the later 2015/2016 stuff on Spotify for a while before buying. |
Trower has a lot of later releases that are not his classic older signature well known signature songs but Clearly Trower . A sorta easier listening , Certainly shows his love for the Blues. . My opinion anyway I can listen to any of these straight thru from start to finish I have these on CD. Most of these I got from his Online Store on his website Just to name a few Back it Up The Playful Heart Another Days Blues What Lies Beneath Roots and Branches Someday Blues Go My Way Enjoy Robin Trower R |
The Nines . Don’t be confused by other bands with the same name (especially a wedding band that goes by that name). You want Steve Eggers’ power pop trio from Canada and the self-titled 2011 release, specifically (first track: Sun Don’t Shine); only available as a download, unfortunately. Here’s a link to the full album on Spotify. spotify:album:04LmRFSkQGjQicDN3u2cXm Here it is on CDBaby: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/thenines2 Talk about criminally unknown....that’s The Nines. |
+ 1 on Take what you need. I don't believe Trower has a bad albumn. I have Davey Pattison on my "top vocalist" list as well. We probably should have mentioned James Dewar also. He's mighty good as well. Check out this band....Red Stone Souls. (Heavy stoner doom blues.) "Harder every day". https://youtu.be/RWqu-C5IA_4 N |
100 Watt Vipers, Something wicked this way comes. 2 piece heavy blues/rock. JJ Grey & Mofro, This river. "Your lady is shady". https://youtu.be/1pvGjWMXpjE N |
