Ryan Bingham - "Mescalito"
Turnpike Troubadours - "Diamonds and Gasoline"
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?

@facten I perceive your doubt about the strictures of admission ;-) Nevertheless, a few names of bands stolen from the site notinhalloffame: Dire Straits The Replacements The Smiths Rage Against the Machine If I had a vote (never going to happen) I would vote for the first three and give a nod to the guitar player in the fourth listing |
John Geils of the J. Geils Band was found dead at his Massachusetts home by police Tuesday, authorities said. Police responded to Geils' home on Graniteville Road for a well-being check around 4 p.m., according to the Groton Police Department. Upon their arrival, police found Geils unresponsive, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The musician, whose full name is John Warren Geils Jr., was 71 years old. He is also listed as the homeowner of the house, police said. Geils' death is under investigation because he was alone at the time of his death, but a preliminary investigation indicates that Geils died of natural causes, according to authorities. Foul play is not suspected at this time. Further information on the incident was not immediately available. Geils was the frontman for the J. Geils band, best known for the No. 1 single "Centerfold" from its 1981 album "Freeze Frame." The band is a nominee for the 2017 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Rest in Peace. N |
Mahavishnu Orchestra "The Inner Mounting Flame" 1971/1988 Columbia Legacy Remaster RBCD Eric Johnson "Ah Via Musicom" 1990 Capitol RBCD Sonny Rollins "Saxophone Colossus" 1956/1987 Prestige OJC Remaster RBCD---This recording is one of my jazz favorites. Max Roach on the drums demonstrates that a small kit can produce big and varied sounds when a master is playing it. Rollins' sax playing is always full of life and energy. Joni Mitchell "Court and Spark" 1974 Asylum RBCD |
@nutty Yes, this is a great recording. If I had to have only one record on a deserted island (that had electricity--weird island), the chances are high I'm picking this one. I have seen Boston in concert after Brad Delp's death. They are a good show, but it is clearly Scholz and Company, and always has been. Rumor is that the record company listened to the demo tape and demanded to see "Boston" play a live show before they would sign the band because they doubted the sound could be reproduced in a live concert. After the show, the label wisely signed Scholz, although they would have been wiser to also sign Delp. It appears Delp's depression leading to his suicide was fueled, in part, by the fact that he was indisputably Boston's vocal sound yet in Delp's mind Scholz treated him merely as an employee. Scholz disputes such claims, which are made by Delp's family. Delp's vocal talent proved too much for one man to cover (such as the new Journey front man covering for Steve Perry). Boston now has two singers, one to cover Delp's lower registers and one to cover Delp's higher registers. The show is worth the ticket. Scholz still plays a great guitar and his organ playing continues to shine. All this makes me want to play that record.... |
Boston, S/T One of the best recordings. Interestingly enough, Boston wasn't a real band. The albumn was recorded in by Tom Sultz alone on a multi track in his basement. What a fantastic and special sound! https://youtu.be/co_57iTPRv0 Tom was an Engineer and and inventor as well. Please view the links! https://youtu.be/R1c0Bx_StvE N |
Cannonball Adderley "Somethin' Else" 1958/2009 Blue Note/Analogue SACD---(This is a terrific recording top to bottom.) R.E.M. "Out of Time" 1991 Warner Brothers RBCD Grant Green "Idle Moments" 1963/1999 Blue Note RBCD RVG Edition Bruce Cockburn "World of Wonders" 1986 MCA RBCD---(I am a dedicated Cockburn fan, but this recording is mediocre. The songs are great...the recording of them is not.) Wayne Shorter "Speak No Evil" 1965/1987 Blue Note RBCD Oasis "Definitely Maybe" 1994 Epic RBCD---(I use this recording to test speakers. Track #1 "Rock 'n' Roll Star." It is bright and full of vocal distortion like the whole album. If speakers can't make this recording palatable, then they aren't right for me, because I'm going to listen to Oasis--LOUD!) |
John Coltrane "Giant Steps" 1960/1987 Atlantic RBCD Rolling Stones "Exile on Main Street" 1972/1994 Virgin/Rolling Stones Remaster RBCD Joe Pass "Virtuoso" 1974/2001 Pablo/Fantasy 20bit K2 Remaster RBCD Billy Joel "52nd Street" 1978/1998 Columbia/Sony 24bit Remaster RBCD Miles Davis "In A Silent Way" 1969/2002 Columbia/Sony Remaster RBCD Eric Clapton "Pilgrim"1998 Reprise RBCD |
astewart8944, Thanks for the info! And your recent set lists are great also. Physical Graffiti has always been a favorite. And Zep's "Since I've been Loving You" is probaly the greatest Zep song ever. Still holds up today. Believe ghosthouse and arcamm88 mentioned it recently. Today I'm into Wolfmother S/T. "Dimension" is a great cut. https://youtu.be/hcCEtIX4MXk N |
Wes Montgomery "The Incredible Jazz Guitar of..." 1960/1987 Riverside/OJC RBCD Beck "Sea Change" 2002 Geffen RBCD Eric Dolphy "Out To Lunch" 1964/1999 Columbia RVG Edition RBCD Led Zeppelin "Physical Graffiti 1975/1987 Atlantic Swan Song RBCD Horace Silver Quintet "Song For My Father" 1964/ 1999 Blue Note Ornette Coleman "The Shape of Jazz To Come" 1959/1990 Atlantic Blondie "Parallel Lines" 1978/1990 Capitol/Chrysalis 24 bit Remaster |
ZZ Top, Tres Hombres, And a track from Recycler, "My Heads In Mississippi". https://youtu.be/Gn5GdDDzyu0 N |
Another record show purchase... Tommy Bolin "Private Eyes". This lp has quite a bit of sub 35H bass info and comes across very clean and musical. I could only imagine an audiophile label getting a hold of the masters if they're available. It would move the foundation! Anyone have other TB recommendations? |
Accept, Blood of the Nations. Check out "Kill The Pain Tonight". https://youtu.be/SzCYh5pKFYw I'm also cruising through several tracks with a female vocalist named Floor Jansen. Some of her recent bands: Nightwish, After Forever, ReVamp, and pleanty of colaborations. Here's sample, she is fantastic. "Energize Me". https://youtu.be/fjm4BrNAf6s Ronnie James Dio, with ELF. "Crosseyed Mary". https://youtu.be/StS2i2WG1UE N |
John Coltrane "Blue Train" 1958/1985 Blue Note RBCD Miles Davis "Milestones" 1958/2012 MoFi SACD Mono David Bowie "Hunky Dory 2015 Remaster" 1971/2015 Parlophone RBCD Otis Redding "The Dock of the Bay Remaster" 1968/1991 ATCO RBCD Charles Mingus "Mingus Ah Um" 1959/1998 Columbia/Legacy RBCD This Mingus Ah Um album is magic! The arrangements are varied, musical and memorable. If you haven't heard this album because jazz is not your thing, it's a good bet you'll enjoy the record. |
@reubent Great Deal! Clearly Half Price Books has a chain-wide manual on how to make the chase difficult. But, I'm with you...in there hunting for gold that other people don't value. Makes my head hurt that the current music buying model is to pay $1.29 for one digital song download when a kid (or an adult) can own the whole record, whether CD or LP, in many cases for 20-60 cents a song, and sometimes less. Of course, there is the problem of the newest music model where the buyer never owns any music but simply listens to it via a subscription of some kind. |
@astewart8944 - I just picked up my copy of "City to City" at my local record store - Everybody's Records last weekend for $3.99 and its a really clean, solid NM with an NM cover. What a steal! I've found some great stuff for great prices at Half Price Books. I just wish they were organized better. At my local store they do not separate new and used and they do not alphabetize them or categorize them. You have to look through the whole section every time. But it's still worth it to go there...... |
Rory Gallagher, "Tattoo". Track 8 from Tattoo but taken here from Irish Tour '74... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z_drl3luuE&ab_channel=Leadhead444 |
@reubent--City to City is a terrific album and IMO the best pop/rock sax solo to make it to the radio. Janis Joplin "Pearl" 1970/1999 Columbia Legacy RBCD Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" 1959/1997 Columbia Legacy RBCD The Band "Music From Big Pink" 1968/2000 Capitol Remaster RBCD (Track 5 "The Weight"--doesn't get any better for 60s song writing) John Coltrane "A Love Supreme" 1964/2010 Impulse/Analogue SACD |
Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" 1967/1999 Capitol RBCD Jaco Pastorius "Jaco Pastorius" 1976/2000 Epic/Legacy RBCD Carole King "Tapestry" 1971/1986 Ode RBCD Sonny Clark "Cool Struttin" 1958/ 1999 RVG Edition Blue Note RBCD Creedance Clearwater Revival "Willy and the Poor Boys" 1969 Fantasy RBCD Hank Mobley "Soul Station" 1960/ 1999 RVG Edition Blue Note RBCD |
