| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? @tonykay: If you like My Life (WARNING! It is pretty hardcore purist Bluegrass), get her debut album Infamous Angel next. "Let The Mystery Be", "Our Town" (another tear-jerker), and "Mama’s Opry" are highlights, but every song is 1st-class.For you... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? @jdoris: "Wasteland Of The Free" is fantastic! Iris received a lot of backlash for that blistering critique of the Neo-Cons pushing the Iraq war, and for painting the Conservative movement itself as hypocritical. That cost her some listeners among... | |
| Best live albums from 1970's college days The OP specified "multi-LP" live albums, yet most suggested here are single-LP albums. 1975's Frampton Comes Alive made multi-LP live albums more commonplace, very few previously having been recorded and released. Of those that were, my faves are ... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? One thing I neglected to mention is the sense of humor Iris is in possession of---revealed in her live show, often of a self-deprecating nature.When she opens her mouth, the music just pours out, effortlessly. I've never seen or heard anything lik... | |
| Are you still ignoring Iris Dement? @tonykay, I would start with her second album, My Life. I took that album with me to the Winter CES in Vegas in the mid-90's, and had Jerry Crosby play it on his modified Quad 63 ESL's. I soon regretted it, as I was in tears before "No Time To Cry... | |
| New In 2021 Craft Recordings reissue of John Martyn's 1998 album The Church With One Bell, first time on LP. A July Record Store Day title. | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection Though American Beauty and Workingman’s Dead were radical departures from the music The Dead had been making prior to those two albums, if one knew about Garcia’s early involvement in Folk and Bluegrass music during his formative years (I love tho... | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection Well Dylan fanatics, the Clinton Heylin book, The Double Life of Bob Dylan; A Restless, Hungry Feeling 1941-1966, is finally on the shelves at Barnes & Noble. Or at least it was (I bought the only copy) at my local branch. And it shouldn't hav... | |
| Biggest audio hoaxes The design of the Townshend Pod was clearly explained in detail here quite a while ago, several times. I was contacted privately in regard to my postings on them by several members, who also posted about them. All the while the new convert ignored... | |
| One of the best tweeters ever, whatever happened? Love Dick Olsher. I still have a pair of the LX5 he mentions in his article. They're great for rear channel surround sound use! | |
| Biggest audio hoaxes @noromance and @slaw speak the truth. Though they aren’t the type to loudly take credit for discovering spring isolation, a search for their contributions on that subject will be rewarding. As will a search for postings related to the Townshend Au... | |

| Well, user error isn't over just yet *sigh* Rythmik L12. | |
| Favorite audiophile-quality cover bands ... The only one I’m aware of is the album on Telarc by the Beach Boys/Jan & Dean tribute/cover band named Papa Doo Run Run. They are from my hometown of Cupertino, California, and their original drummer---Jim Shippey---was a coupla years ahead of... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Ha! I quite agree @tgilb. But I DID kinda misuse the term "old" in the original post. People took that as meaning old as in LP's originally released years ago, so the request for clarification as to what qualifies as old is justified. I actually m... |
