| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @stuartk: Your comment about mine regarding Americana and the South had me reconsider the matter. Perhaps instead of using the term Southern, "rural" is more of what I'm taking about. I've thought in terms of Southern for a number of reasons, ... | |
| For those who miss Geoff @mitch2: Michael Green’s Room Tune was just a piece of foil-backed fiberglass insulation inside a cloth-covered frame. I imagine at his retail prices he made a fair chunk o’change back in the 90’s. I still have a pair, and some Corner Tunes. Th... | |
| Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. I agree about Testimony @tomic601. I got to hear Amy live on stage with Levon, at The House Of Blues on Sunset Blvd. Levon’s throat was still healing from his cancer treatment, so he didn’t do any singing. That he left to Amy and a short li... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @stuartk: Rodney Crowell first became a National name as the leader of Emmylou Harris’ Hot Band. He played acoustic rhythm guitar and sang harmony with her, and her band included the likes of Tony Brown (later becoming a major Country music pro... | |
| Transmission line speakers! Above I mentioned the ESS Transtatic I, introduced in around 1970. As I said, it consisted of a transmissionline enclosure (20" w, 16" d, 42" h) housing a single KEF B139 driver (also used by David Wilson in his original WAMM), a short transmis... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters @stuartk: Alt-Country was to me guys who grew up on Rock, and at some point suddenly discovered Gram Parsons. Then Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, and Hank Williams. Thinking you can suddenly play Country music after growing up on Rock is delusional... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @ghasley: By your use of the term "thumper" (short for Bible thumper of course), your view of Contemporary Christianity is clear. T Bone's Southern California church is named The Vineyard, and in the 1970's and 80's it was a main church for mu... | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? I got spoiled by the $3 tickets to get in the Fillmore (San Francisco) in the 60’s and early-70’s. For $3 I got to see Cream, Hendrix, The Who, Jeff Beck, The Kinks, Procol Harum, Elton John (with just a drummer and bassist, his original live l... | |
| Favorite scream in rock? Little Richard. | |
| What should I look for when purchasing a quality album? One good source for used LP’s are vintage malls, where there are multiple vendor booths under one roof. People from all over the U.S.A. have made YouTube videos showing the mall at which they have found LP’s, with wildly-varying prices. I have ... | |
| For those who miss Geoff Good point @noromance. I'd love to see that spring isolation rack Geoff made. He was way ahead of most everyone else. | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters When I saw Kelly Willis, Brennen Leigh, and Melissa Carper about a year ago, Brennen started the evening by mocking the term Americana. She said it seemed to her to be a term used by those feeling that pure Country music wasn’t cool, by those w... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @ghastley: I take it then that you haven’t heard T Bone’s latest album The Other Side. If you go way back to his first solo album from 1972 (entitled J. Henry Burnett, The B-52 Band & The Fabulous Skylarks) you will find a song written by T... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @ezwind: The two times I saw Iris at The Troubadour, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop between songs. It was kind of uncomfortable. Iris didn’t speak much, and at one of the shows I think there were a few groups from churches in t... | |
| Is anyone here still into live concerts these days? In the 80’s it was about five nights a week, the 90’s down to three (both while living in L.A.). In the 2000’s once or twice a week, these days once or twice a month. But I wouldn't call them concerts, all being in small clubs, which I much pre... |
