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?

Jane's Addiction,  Ritual De Lo Habitual, CD
Jane's  Addiction,  Nothing Shocking, CD
Lit, A place in the sun, CD. Track 2 is my favorite. (Brings back memories of my youth. Anyone else's?)

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.

I'll be on long road trip for about 8 hours.
Plan to play while on the trip:
1. John Pizzarelli/Vanessa Rubin -- trad jazz
2. Youn Sun Nah -- Same Girl -- contemporary jazz, electronica
3. SNFU -- self-titled  -- punk, garage
4. Alpha & Omega -- Mystical Things -- indie

czarivey, 

I think I'll look into the SNFU. Sounds like something that might be in my wheelhouse. Safe travels.

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 ghosthouse,
Good to hear from you. I believe Trowers vocals on his latest effort have really improved. Seems like he’s gotten more confidence. More swagger.

N
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

Hi Radfrad - You and Nutty were who I had in mind w/r to thanking for the Trower recommendation.  I will definitely sample some of those titles you listed.  I recognize a couple as being on Spotify.  
Robin Trower, Back it up

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.

Here it is on CDBaby:

Talk about criminally unknown....that’s The Nines.
The Cure, Disintegration CD.
Blondie, Parallel lines CD.
Jackyl, S/T CD. I saw Jackyl twice in Cincinnati. Jesse James Dupree is one of the best front men in rock-n-roll. I aslo listed him on my top 25 best rock vocalist.








Robin Trower "Take What You Need"
Excellent album featuring Davey Pattison on vocals(Top 25 Vocalist)
Without checking I think it is from early 90s. Pretty sure nutty knows this one. Check it out ghosthouse you won't be disappointed!😎
+ 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".
