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?

nutty I picked up Voodoo Moon recently.   Have not had a chance to soak in yet but always enjoy Savoy Brown.    Saw them live for first time a couple years back in an excellent small venue and was not disapointed.
"Knockin' on Heaven's Door" -Bob Dylan

"Changes" - David Bowie

"I'm the Man" - Joe Jackson

Pat Metheny a long, long time favorite. Have his vinyl from the 70s, purchased during my first brush with Hifi.  

ECM, his label, embargoes the US on streaming via Tidal. This has forced me to buy his later recordings. Sonsab@&$hes.   :)

Slaw,

Glad you enjoyed Interstate Blues. I had a chance to check out Black Dub you referenced a few day’s ago. Very talented.

The Cult, Ceremony
Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy are true rock stars!
Great CD, on par with Sonic Temple and Electric, IMHO.
The title track "Ceremony"

Hey Nutty - yes...the music CD from Irish Tour '74 is still up on YouTube.  Used to be the entire film was uploaded there.  That's what I meant as ain't there any longer.   Hope you like that RG music, regardless.


I dusted this one off this morning. From Australia- 
Angel City, Dark Room
They have 30+ titles
"No Secrets"

ghosthouse,
I found RG 1974 Irish Tour on YouTube. I will give it a spin. I did seen Rory at Rockplast on DVD a while back, thanks to arcam88!

Happy to read that, Nutty. Gave Killing Floor a listen myself last night. Hadn’t in a while. It was way better than I remembered - especially the lead guitar work.

You get a chance do check out that Irish Tour ’74 Film. Used to be on YouTube but no longer.

I’ll have to give Andy Timmons a listen. Don’t know that name. Ahhh...wait. Pokey 77 had mentioned him to me in the past. In fact he recommended "Resolution."  Did check him out briefly back then.  Great player but, for me, didn’t connect on an emotional level. Maybe give another listen tonight.

ghosthouse,
I really like Killing Floor. Listened to it through the Oppo. Really stripped down, really bloozy! Love the keyboards, Martin is relentless.  The lead guitar is great, lots of energy in the band but Martin is in the zone. Thanks for the link!

Andy Timmons Band, Resolution (highly recommended)
"Beware Dark Days"

Hey Nutty - Glad you picked up on the keyboards. I was going to mention them but did not. It’s Lou Martin, formerly of Killing Floor.
I enjoy his playing a lot. He can burn up that electric piano. There’re a few clips of him in a great Rory Gallagher concert film, "Irish Tour ’74". Worth watching if you have not seen it (although in the DVD I got, the sound isn’t all that great).

Never heard Defender. Trying to find it for a listen. See it on Amazon but not seeing it on Spotify or Tidal. Will try YouTube.

Killing Floor if you are interested...pretty raw.

ghosthouse,

You are correct! Against the Grain is fantastic. I've heard it before but it has been a while. I really like the keyboards on this one. Have you heard Defender? Check it out if you have not. It's good, though maybe not a good as some of his other work. I really like "I ain't no Saint". 

Next- earlier in the thread Arcamm88 recommended Michael Sweet "One Sided War". I Highly recommend it as well. Listened to it twice yesterday.  Solid thru and thru. Check out "Radio". Great recording. Great guitarist! Great vocalist.

Next from 1992, I listened to Lynch Mob S/T. Solid disc, great recording. (Though I belive its only available on mp3 now) George Lynch fresh from Dokken. I was fortunate to attend a show at Bogarts in Cincinnati. I like this disc better than "Wicked Sensation", which is great also. Any Lynch fans in the crowd?

Takeshi Nishimoto - "Lavandula".  Listening to this frequently since finding it a month or so ago.  
Rory Gallagher "Against the Grain". This is a good one, Nutty. Strong songs and good sonics on the CD version I picked up used. "Buddah Records original masters" if you are interested.
Tonights turntable featured three albums:

1. Scorpions, "Love at First Sting"
2. Dire Straights, "Love Over Gold"
3. AFI, "Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes"
dbtom2-

that Bill Evans set is nothing less than outstanding! You will enjoy it!

Happy Listening!
Found this on Tidal:

The Complete Bill Evans On Verve

18 CDs, 21 Hours.

Looks like my January listening plans are all set. 

Wonderful stuff. 
Adrian Belew - "Here", Received as a birthday present today. Really great record.....
