Leonard Cohen / Popular problems
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?

n80, Ah, memories of the times gone by. You really brought them back this evening. It surely is bragging, but I once passed by R L Burnside's porch. He played for himself, there was not even a dog out there in that heat. Then he continued playing so I can say I had a private concert. Including the bottle he shared. Just a polite sip, though. The walk would have been way too long otherwise. Strangely, at that time it seemed so natural. I did not find it as anything special at all. If I remember correctly, you grew up in Clarksdale so you may understand such moments. Kenney and, I think, David Kimbrough may still be playing. As expected, not anywhere close to their dad's mastery but the party is guaranteed. At least it was at that time. I wonder if they have ever fixed that shack that had burned down many years ago. |
@glupson: I like hill country blues as much as I do delta blues. RL and Junior were greats. I've seen Cedric Burnside perform. He was RL's grandson and used to play with RL when he was young. He is a great drummer and a great performer. His albums are okay with some good songs but a fair amount of so-so to not-so-good stuff. |
The Black Keys - Chulahoma : The Songs of Junior Kimbrough I think it is one of their best albums. Production quality is crap....but that does not really matter for Junior's songs. Raw, coarse, hard edged blues. And they interpret Junior's songs perfectly. Only Junior could do it better. If you like blues and don't know Junior Kimbrough, give him a search. If you like blues and Junior, this album is worth your time and the recorded phone call from Junior's wife at the end is priceless. |
