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?

Adrian Belew - Mr. Music Head on CD - Still fantastic nearly 30 years later....
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.
Compilation of old school R&B - Temptations, 4 Tops, Marvin Gaye, Drifters, Chaka Chan, etc, etc

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.

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!!!

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.
Just got Jimmy D. Lane with Double Trouble in the mail today.  It's an Analogue Productions Originals 45rpm recording so it sounds great.
New Bleachers release. Gone Now. If you want to test the imaging and dynamics of your system, play tracks 5 and 6. Very well produced released in my opinion. Thoroughly enjoying it. I would attend the tour but would probably be asked if I came with my kid. Maybe I'll just take a neighbors/relatives kid for cover. :-)
Billy Idol, King and Queens of the Underground.
Great albumn. Steve Stevens tags along again. 
"Eyes Wide Shut"
