| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... Clapton could have gotten any drummer he wanted, and he chose Steve Gadd. Know why? Gadd not only has chops, he’s musical. He plays what the song calls for, no show-boating. What some don’t understand, apparently never will, is that musicality IS ... | |
| Great sounding/recorded albums I can see that @tostadosunidos. Those Southerners have an unfair advantage ;-) . Have you heard Patsy’s very early recordings, before Owen Bradley began producing her? She was much more Hillbilly early on, almost Rockabilly (as were guys like Geor... | |
| Your Top Five Blues LPs, SQ-wise... Another Audioquest Blues artist is Terry Evans, who passed away just last year. He also made some great albums for Rounder Records (a fantastic label) with Bobby King, also in good sound. Terry and Bobby worked a lot with Ry Cooder. | |
| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... No, Alex Van Halen is NOT the most under-rated Rock drummer of all-time. That would be Earl Palmer. EVERYBODY knows AVH’s name, what band he’s in, what instrument he plays, and how "good" he is. In contrast, how many know John Bonham stole the int... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Has Irma Thomas been mentioned? Love her, as does Bonnie Raitt and Lou Ann Barton.Why does the Audiogon system unlined in red Raitt when I type it?! | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr I don't know how one could come to think I was "saying the ET was (sic) an ESL". I infact specifically said it was NOT---that was the main point of the post in which I said as much! My related quote about the ET: "but you should know that it's des... | |
| Your favorite Small Apartment Speakers Stax ESL Ear Speakers. They are VERY small ;-) . | |
| Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection? I bought two new (to me) turntables last year. I’m buying more new and used LP’s now than I did for years. In the 1990’s I resigned myself to the reality of having to make peace with the CD, and finally bought myself a player: the Philips CD80, a ... | |
| Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection? "Believe it or not but back then everyone believed CD was 'perfect sound forever'". Uh, not everyone ;-) . | |
| Your Top Five Blues LPs, SQ-wise... @slaw, haven’t heard that one, but I love SBW. He and The Hawks (later of course known as The Band) met up in drummer Levon Helm’s hometown of Selena, Arkansas in 1965, jammed for a day, and started making plans to go on the road together, they as... | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr @mijostyn, yup, I know the Sanders is "a real ESL" (what's an "unreal" ESL? ;-), that’s why I above referred to it as "the Sanders ESL". Both the Sanders and the Eminent Technology LFT-8 are hybrids, with a dynamic woofer.The ET employs an 8" bass... | |
| Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection? My LP collection (along with my vintage drums and cymbals, some dating back the 1920's) is my most prized possession, one I have been accumulating since the mid-60’s. I’m gonna have it buried with my body, but I’ll need a double-wide plot ;-) . | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Fun is a good adjective for the album, @reubent, one I should have emphasized. Seen performing live (as I have, in the bands of both Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe), he is DEFINITELY having a good time on stage. He appears to enjoy drink, but not to ... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Dial ’W’ For Watkins by Geraint Watkins. Bob Dylan: "Geraint is my favorite English pianist." GW has worked with Paul McCartney, Bill Wyman, Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds, a bunch of others, but I’ll bet you’ve never heard him, or even OF him. Unless yo... | |
| Tune of the Day "Heroes & Villains" by Geraint Watkins, off his Dial 'W' For Watkins album. I've never heard a cover version of a song (the very odd H & V, written by Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks and found on the Beach Boys Smiley Smile album) that so ... |
