Whats playing on your system today?

Lena Horn, " Love".
Kenny Wayne Shepherd, "You can't judge a book by the cover".
Mark Ethdredge "Connected".
Acoustic Alchemy, "One for Shorty".

Ghosthouse,

Odd coincidence.

I just finished listening to "Mavericks" by Chris Stamey and Pete Holsapple.  I'm trying to work out arrangements for both " I Want to Break Your Heart" (Stamey)  and "She Was The One" (Holsapple) for solo acoustic guitar.  It's going to take me a while to sort it out (not great at that sort of thing), but it should be worth it.  Two great songwriters, IMO.

Kurt Elling- Passion World.

Doris Day. Cuttin capers

Nada Surf, "You Know Who You Are".


Chris Stamey, "Euphoria".


Well-crafted pop albums and a nice change up from the intensity of Glenn Hughes.  Just leave either of 'em on repeat.

Smokin Joe Kubek, "My place or yours".
Joe Louis Walker, "Buz on you".
Boz Scaggs, "Hell to pay".
B.B. King, " I'm in the wrong business".

Residents - American Composer Series - VolII performing songs of Hank Williams and John Philip Sousa

Chameleons UK strange times. 

Check out the bass licks on track 7 also at 1 min and 30 sec. Sounds a little like a Rush song.

N

If your into the Spocks Beard album mentioned above,  check out the bass guitar licks on track 6. The leads of Neil are great also. Neil plays the lead without a pick!

N

Started the day with-
Spocks Beard, "Breif Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep". Entire albumn. I've seen Spocks beard with Dream Theater at Bogarts in Cincinnati. Amazing show.
Chicago, "The Chicago Transit Authority". Entire albumn. 

N

bg1968-
The Cult is touring promoting their new albumn. I don't have it yet. Have you heard it? 

radfrad, ghosthouse,
The closest to me that Trower will be touring is over two hours away. Unfortunately I will miss him this time around. Don't know how much longer the guy will be around. 

ghosthouse, 
I'm still glad your digging Glenn Hughes. He's one in a million. 

facten,
Im unfamiliar with your selections but I am going to check them out.

sotaphile, 
I'm  a big Santana fan. Even with Neil Sean. I've seen CSN twice. 

raymonda,
As I've stated earlier in the thread, Tommy Bolin was great. I like the "Private eyes"
albumn also. However for some reason "Lotus" from Teaser speaks to me when played at an appropriate level. Not the best recording on CD but it still rocks.

N
. 

Trower is coming to our little college town.  Got a ticket.  Small venue.  Hope it is a good show.  

Listening to Glenn Hughes' "Addiction"...harrowing and powerful. 

Tommy Bolin, private eyes is one of the best rock albums of all time. Get a clean first pressing and the sound quality is also very good.

I agree for all participated
I personally got  many new artists name s from this thread that I need to check out


R

 I would like to thank everyone who takes time to participate in this activity. 

N

This afternoon my wife took over the remote. Here was her play list.

Clyde Hopkins - Cd's Don't Mistreat a Friend, Lonesome Road & Cross Country

Blues Gold - compilation of 40 songs by various artists

Billy Cox & Buddy Miles - The Band of Gypsys Return (some great guitarts on this cd

All.
I felt the need to explain...

I grew up on R&R. I understand the music and how it affects .

( I have Triumph, Uriah Heep, etc...), out the wazoooo....)

I also know that there's much more music out there to be discovered.

I tried to be the "conduit" here. It seems to have failed.

I value my time spent on these types of matters and, such, I have decided to move on.

Good luck to you all and I hope your musical horizons will be expanded!

Slaw.

Nutty

Nutty: I recently listened to  "The Bends" & "Strong Persuader" as well.

Nutty, love The Cult saw them a couple times in the late 80's early 90's. Once they opened for Metallica and blew them off the stage, Ian was laying down sing during Love Removal Machine. One of my favorite shows ever. 

Check out a band called The Front S/T they were short lived but always remind me of a mix of The Cult,The Doors with a bit of Idol thrown in.

I'm thinking, Rush S/T is one of the greatest "freshmen" lps ever!

Of course, on A'gon, it gets No Love.

slaw, 

I'm with you on Rush. One of my fav albumns. 2112 next. 

How about The Cult?  Any fans. Ian Astbury is a total rock star. Billy Duffy, (under rated.) "Sweet soul sister", " Love removal machine", "Edie ". The list goes on. 

N

Just in case.. the above reference was lost....

I'm cueing up Rush S/T lp

Have a great one all!

Nutty:,

They call me the "working man".

Cheers!

oleschool, 

Thanks for the correction. I got ahead of myself. Ian Anderson is obviously the man. The tour is currently billed as Jethro Tull With Ian Anderson.  So it should be fantastic. 

slaw, 

You've been busy today ! I've heard some but not all of your list. I'll give thsm a listen. 

I also need to check out the Marsalis/Clapton. Thank you.  

So far today I've listened to the self titled "Joe Satriani". Great sounding on CD. Has anyone heard it on LP? And also Faith no More "The real thing".

N

..well I know why, cause I need to be fulfilled in all of the musical ways that I have to enjoy!

for whatever reason, I just put on The Spinners  "S/T" MOFI.

Go figure?

If you're interested, see my review of the MOFI, Bob Dylan "Nashville Skyline" 45 rpm on the (Bob Dylan MOFI) thread.

Cheers!

N

Feist "Metals"

Jethro tull  ....songs from the woods... rattling the windows :)

Nutty,

You inspired me this time with the AW. I'm cleaning my lp of Duffy "Rockferry" as I write this.

Gov't Mule  "Dose" ,  "Shout"

Amy Winehouse, Back to Black.

N

The last couple of days I have been listening to mostly movie sound tracks from the 1950s , 1960s and 1970s ,.

Arctic Monkeys "AM"

"Gypsy woman" is an old Muddy Waters tune. 

N

Repeating myself rad, but I definitely agree with you on how good that S/T Rory Gallagher sounds. It just makes me wonder why EVERYTHING can’t sound that good. A subject for a whole ’nother thread I suppose....
If you could find the CD used for cheap, might be worth it for that 1 track. Have fun.
