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?
UFO’s "Strangers in the night" is a very special album for me stretching from my teens. It showed what talented group UFO was back then and they had Michael Schenker as the lead guitarist, his contribution was awesome and so individual in his style. Back in my teens my best friend who played guitar (like me, but alot better!) was a huge fan of Michael Schenker and he pointed out an interesting observation about MS style of playing. At the time we listened to all the usual lead guitar suspects (Hendrix, Clapton, Blackmore, Robin Trowers, Page etc......) and he observed that MS did not really use ’blues licks’ nor did he often repeat himself.
mental, That is the beauty of the music portion of this forum, you get reminded of great ones & introduced to new ones. I spend a lot more time here, than the other places on the gon.
@mental , someone here on Audigon turned me on to the Teskey Brothers. I knew I liked them from the first 30 seconds of the first song. The singer sounds like Otis Redding and they are very soulful.
In that genre also look into Vintage Trouble, especially 1 Hope St and Leon Bridges Coming Home.
Gary Clark Jr also dabbles in R&B but he is all over the place on his albums from raw acoustic blues to blistering Hendrix-like guitar work to R&B and even a little hip-hop vibe here and there.
@mental , I can hardly stay in the room or car if modern country music is playing. But, I recently bought Chris Stapleton's Traveller CD. There are a few songs on there that smack of mod-country-pop that I don't like but there are also a few excellent songs on there. Tennessee Whiskey is the best of the bunch and is heavily blues infused.....which is why I like it.
Tonight, I'm listening to The Teskey Brothers Half Mile Harvest. Again. The more I listen the better it gets. Looking forward to their US tour this summer.
Trying to find 80's and 90's and later Prog. Streaming on spotify. Listening to Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson. Any suggestions for some new artist to listen to? Thanks
Oh well I'm going through my collection cleaning them all and limited as it is, I've listened to The Jam live in Newcastle 1980 what a treat, then Joy Division "Still", The Cult "Electric" and finally Oasis "Definitely Maybe" and now I'm mooching around here hehehe
