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?
I'm glad you liked Glenn Hughes. He's been around for the block a few times. He played with Deep Purple, Hughes /Thrall, Black Sabbath and check out Black Country Communion. It features Hughes, Jason Bonham (Zepplin), and Derek Sherinian. (He has even more than I've mentioned ).
That reminds me. He jammed with Tommy Bolin also! Check out Tommy Bolin "Teaser". Great albumn. "Marching powder", and my favorite "wild dogs".
treadman, I'll check out your recommendations. I'm always on the lookout for new music.
Glenn Hughes played with another guitar great Tommy Bolin in Deep Purple. Tommy Bolin's 2 solo albums are certainly worth checking out. Teaser from 1975 and Private Eyes from 1976.
N - I was totally clueless about Glenn Hughes. Had to look him up on Wikipedia and found a LOT of his stuff on the Spot (that's Spotify for all those Tidal-loving haters...hahaha)...anyway - WOW! The dude has certainly got some pipes! Volume, range and dynamics...not to mention able to handle quite a few different styles. I jumped around a bunch on Spotify. His From the Archives Vol 1- Incense & Peaches he has this sort of Bozz Scaggs R&B kind of sound. I liked Jackie Got the Call Today. Then he's got a Christmas album singing traditional carols pretty straight up. Now I'm listening to Music for the Divine (a bit of Steven Tyler or maybe Lennie Kravitz style-wise) and I also sampled Building the Machine. Anyway, glad you mentioned him. Thanks.
This afternoon I dug out some Pat Travers. " Puttig it straight" and " Crash and burn". I've seen him live four times. He was here in my hometown on January 29th. He always puts on a good show. I saw him years ago when he was promoting the Crash and burn albumn. He had Pat Thrall with him!
Yesterday we were discussing Jack Bruce. Simply a legend. How about Glenn Hughes? Now there is a guy with soul?
Another vote for Rory Gallagher! Just listened to "Blueprint". One of the most underrated Guitarists IMHO. Some absolutely wicked slide playing on "Race The Breeze".
Lots of Sasha and John Digweed including Northern Exposure this morning during 45min workout. A blend of tribal, deep house, techno and 80's pop disco helps to fight fatigue and makes it more efficient.
radfrad, I don't belive Rory will dissapoint you. He's great.
ghosthouse, I'll definitely check out your recommendation. FYI, I watched a friend's copy of "Rory Gallagher, Live at Rockplast 1976-1990". It's very good also.
jet, I'm always looking for new music to listen too. I'll look into Lucius.
Today I'm cueing up some Gary Moore and maybe a few cuts from the great Roy Buchanan. Whats on your playlist for
Last night I was checking out on Youtube a very recent release by the Brooklyn band called Lucius and their new album "Good Grief". After listening I ordered it on CD from Amazon. For me very inspiring new music. Its also available on vinyl. I should mention that my Ayon CD player has a USB into its DAC so I can play anything online thru my system :) Regards Jet
Love Rory too....more than Robin, actually (no offense radfrad). Check out Irish Tour ’74, Nutty. It used to be uploaded to YouTube. If not, it is certainly worth getting although it’s not hi-res or anything but still a great concert movie. Really gives you a sense of who Rory was along with his live show and band. Lou Martin ex-of Killing Floor on keyboard is very good, I thought. I have a bunch of Rory’s stuff on CD. My favorite might be his first solo release after Taste (it’s self-titled). [Really enjoy talking about the music, by the way.]
I thought I may be alone when it came to Trower ,most never heard of him. Maybe I'm just old Trower Tours USA every other year for 10 years at least. His sound is spot on with all his old music today. His band sounds slightly different do to different. Bass & Singers. But always great show Great Thread nutty Im gonna go listen to him now. Just at low volume so family can sleep. He even sounds good at low volume. At least to me anyway
Any Rory Gallagher fans out there? I just ran through "Top Priority " and "Calling Card. I love his raw unpolished sound. He was amazing. I found a YouTube cut with Jack Bruce and Rory Gallagher performing "politician" live.
Glad y'all are liking Robin's stuff with Jack. You might also like RT's work on Procol Harum's Broken Barricades LP. (but you probably already know that one). I'll have to look for his latest release. Thanks for the heads up, radfrad.
I have all related Trower BLT stuff Trower is touring east half of USA now. And west side of USA in 2017. Has a new CD that he is running with and Album. Yes Album [vinyl]. You can preorder it at Amazon
I went on a Robin Trower bing a few weeks ago. Whipped out all my old vinyl that I kept from back in my high school and college days. Long Misty Days is my fave.........
I'm a big Robin Trower fan. And I have picked up quite a bit of old vinyl of his over the years surprisingly great shape Saw him Last fall. Funny but I rocked out w him on my system last Saturday few hour listen including Robin Trower,Humble Pie ,Hindrix,Janis Joplin, Cream,Yes, among others. I'm just a rocker
