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?

I decided to get Janis Joplin's The Pearl Sessions cd. I was surprised to see the liner notes with studio info about setting up the recorder. I wanted to compare cd mastering vs a budget Hits disc. Just using a budget system (under $500) pieced together from cl finds. Mitsubishi DA-P10, Denon APL-modded DVD-3910, Haffler 220, Klipsch Heresy I. |
grevory_57, jafant, I also enjoy Sting’s solo efforts post Police. I encourage you to listen to some of Andy Summers solo projects. ghosthouse turned me into a fan of his work. The Last Dance of Mr. X and Earth + Sky are very good recordings. Today I binged on Jeff Lynne's ELO. Everything I could find in the rack. N |
Gosh, I like Karen’t voice, Nutty. Back when they were on the radio all the time, 2/3rds of a lifetime ago, I really looked down on what they did. Looking back, what did I know? Get past the cultural baggage of the day...they knew how to pick some great songs. Did you realize "Superstar" (one of my favorites done by them) was written by Leon Russell along with Bonnie and Delaney Bramlett. Who knew!? Just read that in Wikipedia. Your other pick there, Toto...more excellent musicianship and song writing. Toto IV is one of their best I think. Less middle of the road and not as mainstream commercial as The Carpenters, perhaps (a good thing!) - but not Captain Beefheart either. Had some money making legs on it. But right this minute, Mr. Satriani is entertaining an audience of one. Just completed Crystal Planet and now Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards is up. Track 4 here...Sounds good LOUD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2zjKYJHQnQ |
ghosthouse Thanks for dropping that very thorough musical perspective! The Carpenters disc’(s) I spun didn’t have "Superstar" on them so I had to go find it. Wonderful song! There actually my wife’s collection. A beautiful voice and tragic story. Though only Redbook and not the best recordings, but her voice sounds amazing on the Forest Signatures! Re Toto, I really like a lot of their music. Hydra has some great songs also. "Mama" "White Sister". And I agree, Toto IV was snappy! I’m all over the map today. Right now, Cheap Trick, Heaven Tonight N |
+1 Satriani! "Can't Go Back" from Unstoppable Momentum. https://youtu.be/xu-8UV2-TKQ Next up, Jazz Pistols N |
Joe Bonamassa - Blues Deluxe A very enjoyable album of 9 covers + 3 originals. The exception that proves what is too often the rule about covers...that is to say, these are actually worth listening to. Joe owns 'em like he wrote 'em. Everything sounds fresh. SQ is very good. Love the little bit of reverb they put on his guitar during the blistering solo starting around 3 minutes into the title track. Another album that deserves to be heard cranked UP. Turn it to 11, Nigel. |
"...rather odd in places....". Well, that’s certainly one way to describe it! :-) Quirky and captivating to me. They create a whole world in the mysterious Mr. Blint’s "attic". It’s quite the tour de force just for promoting their invention, "The Gizmo". I grew up at the tail end of radio as "visual" entertainment. Consequences reminds me of some of those old shows. Have to hand it to G&C for prescience. Climate change, whatever the cause, wasn’t much talked about back then. Not to mention, the "weaponization" of weather! "Look at that cloud! Is it one of ours or one of theirs?" http://www.suppertime.co.uk/blint/ |
ghosthouse, uberwaltz , Still reeling from The Gizmo! Very interesting indeed.. arcam88, Haken, The Mountain is very good and sonically one of their best. "Cockroach King" is a killer! Joe Satriani, "Crushing Day" https://youtu.be/g-lT2wvJt1M Beth Hart, Immortal -1996 https://youtu.be/E-ByhBy-Kkk N |
