| New In 2021 Yep @jafant, there are a couple I missed: Elvis and Moby Grape.I got to see and hear some of the old guys before they died, like Albert King and Big Joe Turner (his band that night were The Blasters. Dave Alvin was still in the band, and blowing t... | |
| No Direction Home, Dylan documentary by Martin Scorsese. Damn, 80 years old. Of course some people live to be 100, but not often in the music biz. On the road at 80 years old---brutal! Though he stays in nice hotels, has a crew to do all the heavy lifting, etc., performing under hot lights for an hour o... | |
| Isoacoustics don’t seem to work for me, help If you're going to be in this room for an extended length of time, removing the carpeting is an option, if an extreme one. ;-) | |
| New In 2021 @thepigdog: Right you are. Some of Jerry’s albums are what I call Progressive Bluegrass---mostly instrumental, all the musicians of virtuoso caliber, the playing very Jazz influenced. I saw him and his band live a few years back in Portland, and t... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? Iris and Levon Helm, both from Arkansas, and both fave music makers of mine. Iris' family relocated to Orange County, California when she was still a child, but remained in the Pentecostal Church I believe. | |
| What is your favorite album cover? For an album cover that is a spot-on visual representation of the music contained in the LP or CD, nothing beats The Band's s/t "brown" album.Before that, I always liked the cover of The Beatles' Rubber Soul. Have you noticed their name is nowhere... | |
| Isoacoustics don’t seem to work for me, help A second on the Townshend Audio Seismic Podium. If the cost takes away your breathe, buying individual Pods and using them under a good platform (perhaps one layer of Baltic Birch plywood, one of Slate, with constrained layer damping---such as Aco... | |
| New In 2021 Yeah @thepigdog, drums aren’t employed in hardcore Bluegrass music and bands. The mandolin player provides the 2/4 backbeat by playing accented staccato downward strokes in place of a snare drum. I’m real glad Marty Stuart breaks that rule, having... | |
| TONE @edcyn: Small world; the Guitar Center in Sherman Oaks was only a 1/4 mile from the apartment I lived in during the 90's, and I was in there pretty regularly.The SM58 is the industry standard mic for live vocals, but not for recording them. The Te... | |
| New In 2021 Now THAT should be interesting @jafant! I didn't much care for Joan Osborne's Dylan-song album, but Maria Muldaur's Heart Of Mine is pretty goodGraham Nash quit The Hollies after unsuccessfully attempting to talk them out of doing an album of all ... | |
| Analogue Productions announces May 21st release of ultimate Kind Of Blue LP @jafant: Sounds like Kind Of Blue is to you what The Band’s s/t (brown) album is to me, or Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks’ Smile album---even in it’s uncompleted, aborted form. I have a half dozen copies of each, Smile on bootleg LP’s before the ... | |
| Analogue Productions announces May 21st release of ultimate Kind Of Blue LP Aw geez @jafant, your forcing me to admit in public I have never owned any copy of Kind Of Blue. ;-) I don't relate much to Jazz, nor do I understand it. There, I said it! I mean, I DO like Mose Allison, Count Basie, and Duke Ellington, but that J... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Today’s catch, all from my two neighborhood shops:- Ian & Sylvia: Greatest Hits (Vanguard, 2-LP set). $9. Includes the Ian Tyson song Neil Young talks about in Johnathan Demme’s documentary film about Neil, Heart Of Gold, entitled "Four Strong... | |

| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? Yeah @slaw, emerging in the 1990’s, almost all of her stuff is CD only. Craft Recordings or Analogue Productions should do an Iris boxset! The only LP I have is a promo-only white-label/white cover copy of The Way I Should, sent to radio station p... |
