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?

A couple from Jerome Sabbagh, read a Stereophile profile on the fact he's an audiophile and dialed up a couple of his releases on Tidal. Listening to "The Turn" now and "North" next. Pretty solid stuff.
Always interesting to come here and see what peeps are playing.
I get an insight into stuff I have never heard of never mind heard!
@reubent - I think its safe to say that there will never be another like him.
Phish "The Story of the Ghost"
Colour Haze "S/T"
Hex "S/T"
Tom Petty "Hard Promises" MCA/Masterphile

If any of you are looking for something unusual to listen to, check this one out. I’ve always loved it. ..a collaboration between Steve Kilbey and Donnette Thayer. I feel lucky to own it on vinyl. Highly recommended!

@nutty,

Regarding Manfred Mann...are you as big a fan of "The Roaring Silence" as I am? This was the first record I ever heard through headphones in my teens. I was blown away! I now own 4 copies..for some reason?
The recommended lp I am referring to is the Hex lp above...(2nd paragraph) sorry for the confusion.

Watched ACL this morning...featuring Dan Auerbach. I've had his latest lp in my cart for a while. I pulled the trigger after seeing the live performance. That's the way I roll.....
Putting on the Hex lp now. If I could have the power to grant one wish right now...it would be to have each of you this record to play in your system.
OK..I'm listening to the newly cleaned Colour Haze "S/T" lp.

I bought all of their lps a few years ago and was then, unimpressed with the sonics. Seemed dark and uninvolving.

Now, after the recent change in my US cleaning system, totally different lp.It is now up there with the normal level of output I'd expect from any artist.

Sometimes...US cleaning works wonders when other methods lack their advertised/long historied /somewhat untruthful outcome.

Did I just say that?
Count Basie and Oscar Peterson "The Timekeepers" my own ripped CD up next Count Basie & Friends on Tidal.  @slaw what genre of music is Hex?
@jond ,

Music is so genre bending these days...

The name will throw you! Don’t let it! Just seek it out...you'll be glad you did....


@slaw sadly its not on Tidal, btw any idea how many albums titled Hex there are wow, will keep it in mind for the future.
@jond ,

No, I’ve never made any attempt to research it. Why? I guess because I was so enthralled with my lp,..I never thought about this forum to reveal it?

My feeling would be to go on google and (hit) Steven Kilbey (Church) or Donnette Thayer,(Game Theory), maybe (wiki?) I think you could locate with not much effort.

When you find it, you’ll (find) your reward...

My feeling is..this was a one time collaboration, which may make it easier to research?

Cheers!
@slaw 

Regarding Manfred Mann,  yes! I am a big fan and Roaring Silence is excellent. 
They sure don't make bands like that anymore.

Forget every other song you wanted to hear,,,,

Allison Moyet "Where Hides Sleep"...

Check this one out soon!
@slaw - I love "Where Hides Sleep". Allison Moyet and Yaz were regularly on my TT back in the early 1980's and they still find there way to my TT today. Great stuff and a great voice....
@slaw - Your Allison Moyet - "Alf" recommendation lead me to this album this morning -

Concrete Blonde - "Bloodletting"

Like Allison Moyet, Concrete Blonde's Johnette Napolitano has a huge voice that works so well with the pop, alt. rock music they were playing. I love this album (only have it on CD :~( )
@reubent,

Hi. I love Concrete Blonde!....I'm looking at my "S/T" CB / lp right now.

Not one bad song on the entire lp. That's an accomplishment in it's own right?

In fact, I thought I was through listening today, until writing this response...

For some reason, I have "Bloodletting" on CD. You should get their "S/T" on any media you prefer..

Have a great day!

.
@slaw 
Allison Moyet "Where Hides sleep",  All I can say is Wow! Looks like Amazon has a copy. 

@reubent 
Concrete Blonde is awesome as well. I like Bloodletting. Its a strong set.  
"Joey" is excellent!

While probably not "quite" in the same league as Allison and Jonnette, I'm throwing out an honerable mention to Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes.

If we are talking female singers lets hear it for Chrissie hynde and the Pretenders.
Last of the independents spinning right now
Time for some "pomp rock"!

Pieces of Eight....Styx.

Truly magical band whose heyday was firmly in the 70,s.
And yes saw them live at Stafford Bingley Hall, England back in 78 I think.
For Manfred Mann lovers (they were a great, great group), look for their 1969 album entitled Chapter Three. Singer Paul Jones is unfortunately gone (he and Van Morrison were the two best singers of the British Invasion), only Mike Hugg and Manfred himself remaining from the original lineup. While the earlier MM albums showed a healthy Jazz influence, Chapter Three is full blown Jazz, and great Jazz at that. And, the album is on Vertigo, and sounds great!
Oldie but goodie

Dark side of the Moon,..... Pink Floyd

Not much more you can say.....
Just noticed if you type in Hex Steve Kilby on youtube, you can listen....
Whoops! Typ-O earlier
Billy Gibbons, Perfectamundo

John Butler Trio, Sunrise Over Sea
(Thanks ghosthouse)
