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?

steamed and re-listened to...

@ozzy 

Styx.....one of the best pomp rock bands ever!
Have every album on vinyl.
Saw them in England when they did a tour to support the Paradise Theater album.

The Grand Illusion and 2112 were on constant rotation in our student common room!
@slaw, I too like the Andrew Gold album. Andrew was (R.I.P.) a real good musician and producer, but a rather unpleasant person (I use to run into him around Sherman Oaks when we both lived there in the 90's). He made an incredible album under the name The Fraternal Order Of The All, entitled Greetings From Planet Love (CD only, 1997). It's mock-psychedelic music, really well done.
@uberwaltz,

"2112" was not a Styx lp.!!

@bdp24 ,

Thank you for that piece of info on Andrew Gold.!!!
@uberwaltz,

My apologies for misreading your post. I realized it this morning. I believe as I age, I have mini bouts of dyslexia.

I re-listened to Buddy Miller "Cruel Moon" (lp). (Thanks to @bdp24 for turning me on to this great artist!)

Bandi Carlile "by the way, I forgive you" (lp). She really has matured as a songwriter. Fantastic!

Happy RSD everyone!

I came away with the one lp I wanted and a few others...

Son Volt "Okemah and the Melody of Riot". First time on vinyl. Dbl vinyl w/extra tracks!

Prince "1999" Special 1 lp/ 7 track record.

These others were just to support my local record store...

Garbage "Strange Little Birds"
The Jayhawks "Hollywood Town" & "Mockingbird Time"

Great time to enjoy vinyl!
BTW, Buddy Miller’s voice on "Cruel Moon" sounds very similar to Jon Snodgrass.

Cardas deguassing lp

James Gang "Rides Again" MFSL/lp
Currently cleaning..

Hendrix "Both Sides of the Sky" (lp)

listening now...... Jason Molina "Travels in Constants" (lp)

The Autumn Defense  "Once Around" (lp)
@slaw 

Lmao

Actually I wondered after I posted who might be first to misread and tell me the obvious....lol

I am old but not THAT old my friend!

@slaw, speaking of Buddy Miller, he and Emmylou Harris have been singing (ha) the praises of a guy named Doug Seegers, whose Going Down To The River album they both appear on. And oh man, is Doug the real deal! A true blue hillbilly, a real Country/Western (as it used to be called) singer. I hear a lot of Hank Williams and a little of Merle Haggard in his singing, and a similarity to newer guys like Wayne Hancock (my former-bandmate Paul Skelton played on his early albums, and then Evan Johns, with whom I recorded one album, played guitar in his road band---small world!) and Hank's grandson, Hank III. He sounds like a man, not a boy, unlike many pseudo-Country singers today---those raised on Rock, but now wanting in on the Country action. I hear that in far too many of the "Americana" bands and solo artists. They haven't lived it, how they gonna sing it?

Some not-really-Country music lovers may be put off by the sound of Doug's voice---it has the nasally/twangy character of hardcore Country singers from the South, heard in a lot of Bluegrass music. The band is the traditional Country/Western lineup---pedal steel, Telecaster guitar, honkytonk piano, fiddle, mandolin, and occasional dobro and banjo, with Doug playing acoustic guitar. For lovers of real Country/Western music only!

So time for spotlight on my local bands tonight
In no particular order but these will all be queued up later....

Dont you Fake it....Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Ocean Avenue....Yellowcard

uberwaltz,

Its pretty good, although not classic STYX but still good.

ozzy
ozzy,
.
+1 Styx and yes it is good.

Agreed- geoffkait

I wore out several TFF cassettes prior to the CD format.
Happy Listening!
@ozzy

Yes I have the latest album
Agreed it is obviously not on par with classic Styx but still worth a spin for sure.

Same as the 2 latest Uriah Heep albums, very different from classic Heep but still hell yeah!
+++ On Tears for Fears. Both "The Hurting" and "Songs From the Big Chair" were in heavy rotation on my TT back in the mid '80's and spinning on the CDP after that. They still get the occasional spin, but I have a lot more music to choose from now....
May have to look for some Tears For Fears on cassette then, none in my sprawling tape collection...yet
