Whats playing on your system today?
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.....

Y&T, Straight Through The Heart "Mean Streak" https://youtu.be/zWrqI1FI4TU Y&T, Open Fire "Summertime Girls" https://youtu.be/0RGQSBGaJS8 Dave Meniketti, On The Blue Side "Just Coastin" https://youtu.be/c64AfCnE5OU N |
Red Hot Chili Peppers, By The Way "Don't Forget Me" has some wicked six string! https://youtu.be/-2SeFnvs73A N |
Just dropped the needle into "God's Problem Child" by Willie Nelson. Really nice performance and pretty high quality recording in terms of detail, timbre, etc. Definitely "studio produced" sound but satisfying sonics overall. Vinyl is dead quiet!! Next up, Roger Waters' "Is This the Life We Really Want?" on Redbook. |
Saw RobinTrower last nite. Excellent performance! I have seen him 5 time in the last 10 years. As long as he keep playing the Bay Area ,I will go and see him. He seems to play every 2 years. Has a simple stage set up w classic Marshall Stacks Focus is on "Signiture Tone" and "Solid Playing" Opened with "Too Rolling Stoned" (personal favorite)and closed on a slow Blues number I did not recognize yet. Each time I see him ,he closes on the slower blues song Plays exactly 90 minutes each time and concert is over at 10:30 pm Trio RT a drummer and Basest Christopher Taggart Taggerts performance was outstanding and vastly improved from the last time I saw Them in 2015. Taggerts bass was more tight, louder and vocals stronger They even had the same warm up band as 2015 They did play more newer tunes this time from his last newer recordings Other great performances I saw in mid years RT 2005 had great vocals with Davey Pattinson,who also played with Montrose RT performane was solid and simply better than ever for now and not then In my opinion he's is playing better than ever!!!

Iris Dement's Lifeline album, in which she celebrates her Christian faith. Don't let that scare you off, non-believers! Remember how good Dylan's trio of Christian albums were? Audiophile favorite Alison Krauss does Gospel-influenced material, as do many other Bluegrass artists. And Elvis! The Band's Music From Big Pink. Next year marks fifty years---50 years!---since it's 1968 release, and it hasn't dated one iota. What a breathe of fresh air is was in that year, swimming head-on against the tide of Psychedelia, lame British blues bands (Ten Years After? Oy vey!), show-off would-be-virtuoso improvisers, and album-side long "songs". MFBP is not only a great album musically, but it is a Master's Class in Rock 'n' Roll musicianship; everything you need to know to play the music is contained in the grooves of the album. It (heh) rocked the music world to it's core when it came out, changing and actually determining the musical path many songwriters, players, and singers took after fully absorbing it's brilliance and significance. Absolutely and by a considerable margin, the most extraordinary debut album of all time, and an all-time Top 10 record. The Band's follow-up---s/t, also known as the brown album, is equally great, some feel even better than MFBP. I love them both to death, each being in my own personal Top 10 album list. |

paul kelly, comedy--very smart melodic folk/rock on the order of neil finn or freedy johnson, but with the punky verve of early kinks. huge in australia, fwiw chris stapleton, from a room--a country record for people (like myself) that don't always crave country--lots of 60s soul feel to it. i've had this one on repeat for awhile now. |

Tull - To Cry You a Song... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNCEIGgyIS4&ab_channel=GasparLewis "Thought I saw angels, But I could have been wrong." |
Nutty - Stand Up is one of my favorite Classic Rock albums, a genre I am O-fish-alee TIRED of. But there are just some gems that have staying power. Stand Up is one of ’em. Benefit is another. I’m not a huge Tull fan but those two...very, very good. We "Used to Know" is an excellent track. Love how it builds. "Reasons for Waiting" - another stand out track from Stand Up. I am an absolute sucker for those strings. Thanks for mentioning. Was listening to it just the other day. Great album cover too. |
