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?

Hey @boxer12, a coupla days ago I received notification of the Lucinda Williams "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road" 20th Anniversary Tour. It’s coming to Portland Oregon, and general admission tickets are only 30 bucks, I believe it was. There were also tickets about twice and three times that price, so even the best seats are reasonably priced, unlike some shows these days.

Too bad she doesn’t have the original "CWOAGR" tour band (Jim Lauderdale on acoustic rhythm guitar/harmony vocals/bandleader, Jim Christie---fresh off his stint with Dwight Yoakam---on drums, Kenny Vaughan---now a member of Marty Stuart’s band The Fabulous Superlatives---on guitar) to take on the road with her, but I’m sure she’ll have a good one. Everyone wants to work with Lucinda!

bdp24,
That album is soooo good. It's cool she does that. Like you stated, I doubt she'll skimp on who plays in her band. I hope she brings the tour east, I'd love to see her.

Frazey Ford / Obadiah 
boxer12 absolutely, can decide if I like it better or A Ghost is born - both great!
bdp24 you lucky dog!  One of my fav’s - hope you get the opportunity to see her.
pops, My favorite from them usually depends on which one I'm listening to at the time LOL

Orso / Long time by 
Can't get a good handle on Wilco Tbh, tried but just does not move me.


Certified Live ... Dave Mason.

Fabulous SQ on this $1double album!

I saw Lucinda on that original "CWOAGR" tour (at The Wiltern Theater, I believe), and it was then I realized I would never again be able to see her in a small room again. My girlfriend and I always went out to see her play around L.A. at the time of her s/t Rough Trade album and Sweet Old World on Chameleon (late-80’s/early-90’s), before she got her Warners deal. She played at little dives around town; one time I saw her and her original band perform in a pizza parlor, on a stage so small drummer Donald Lindley was playing a rub board rather than a drumset. There were about a half dozen people in the place, including the bar maids!

A few years earlier (mid-80’s), I had gone to see The Long Ryders at Club Lingerie on Sunset, and before they started their set I saw a guy I knew (The Long Ryders fan club president), so I went over to say hi. He introduced me to this lanky blonde woman standing next to him, telling me she too was a songwriter. She looked down at the floor, seemingly embarrassed to be the center of attention. It was Lucinda. I didn’t know it at the time, but Lucinda was then married to Long Ryders’ drummer Greg Sowders (she's been through a few more since then ;-). A while later my woman and I were looking through the LP’s at Moby Disc on Ventura Blvd. in Sherman Oaks (we lived a few blocks away) when she said to me "Hey, there’s Lucinda". She was standing behind the cash register, staring off into space, probably writing lyrics. She was putting in her time being a record store clerk. Hey, a girl’s gotta eat ;-) .
