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?

Hello nutty - Thanks for the comments and the Blues for Gary link. Hadn’t heard that one from RB. Do you think that’s for Gary as in Gary Moore? GM outlived RB so I wasn’t quite sure. I love RB’s playing but gosh talk about "fashion challenged"! Some of those pants...even I wouldn’t have worn ’em.

Glad you liked the Albino Alligator (soundtrack to Kevin Spacey’s directorial debut).

Yeah...Leslie West - another under appreciated axe-wielding madman. From "Climbing" - Never In My Life. Corky’s drumming on this is just superb or so it seems to me.

Actually, slaw, the Buddy & Julie album is on CD, and afaik it was never available on LP. Their 2nd album, Written In Chalk, however, is.
@bdp24

That sounds like a great lp! One to watch out for at a record show for sure.

I have a Buddy Miller lp coming in soon / Cayano Sessions @ Sea.
Great stuff as always, slaw. Listening to Buddy & Julie Miller’s 2001 album (on the greatly-missed HighTone Records label, catalog number 8135) tonight, I am once again reminded of how incredibly talented they are, and how much I love them. Great songs by Julie (she is an incredible writer), Richard Thompson, Dylan, and Utah Phillips, fantastic singing by Julie and Buddy, superb guitar playing and production by Buddy (for my money, the best producer working today), and world-class musicians including bassists Joey Spampinato (NRBQ) and Garry Tallent (The E-Street Band), drummers Brian Blade and Donald Lindley (early Lucinda Williams), Larry Campbell (Dylan and Levon Helm bands, and now a solo artist) on fiddle, and Tammy Rogers on mandolin. Oh, and the exquisite Emmylou Harris on harmony vocals! One of my all-time favorite albums.
the rest of my playlist today, in part or in whole..on lp

Now if only Charter would give me clean, STABLE, internet...
@nkonor @slaw - I ended up picking up the remaster of Steely Dan "Gaucho" at my LRS yesterday as a Birthday gift to myself. I'm listening to it now and it sounds very good. I would have liked to pick up the MCA Audiophile pressing, but a bird in the hand, and clean, new vinyl won out.

Happy New Year to You and ALL......
Post removed 
@slaw - Happy New Year! Enjoy your new copies of "Way Out West" and "Loud Hailer". I enjoy both of them very much and both prove that it is still possible to produce interesting and good sounding recording today. And by two guys who are not spring chickens.....
