| Anyone hear Robert Plant's new release, Carry Fire? Too bad Plant didn't have either Dave Edmunds, a close friend of his, or Buddy Miller (whose albums Plant has previously appeared on), produce him. They both make great, organic sounding recordings, especially Buddy. | |
| Standout track on an album A couple more artists I am willing to spend the extra $ on for LP versions of new albums are John Hiatt, Rodney Crowell, Emmylou Harris, Iris Dement, and anyone else I really like who makes good sounding recordings. Lucinda fits in with that group... | |
| Standout track on an album I resisted for along time, but I've come to really like Amazon. They have everything in stock, and the free shipping is super fast. Ten bucks for an album? Such a deal! An even better deal is the basket of $5 DVD's at my Fred Meyer store. Just yes... | |
| Racks made of wood If your choice of table includes considerations of sound quality (your post doesn't say), Slaw's suggestion is a good one (no surprise there, ay?!). For less than a hundred bucks, you can get a set Ingress Engineering (Canadian) roller bearings to... | |
| Decca London Reference- SME V, FR 64s or FR 64 fx? The old Deccas were known to mate well with the FR arms, as well as the Zeta. Current Londons are being used on arms ranging from the Helius Omega (a fantastic, though low-profile arm. Robert Levi at Positive Feedback preferred the sound of his Re... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Great, thanks slaw, I'll look for it. Portland actually has a fair amount of vinyl, though nowhere near what L.A. does. I'm going down in April to haul some more of my vintage drum collection up here. I plan on doing some LP shopping while I'm dow... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Damn reubent, I missed the World Without Tears album too! I’ve never heard it, and I see Jim Christie plays on it. Looks like there’s five Lucinda albums I gotta get. Thanks for mentioning WWT. Your adjective of thin regarding the sound of the SOW... | |
| Standout track on an album GH, I've been using the listening endcap at Barnes & Noble to check out titles (you scan the bar code of a CD, and listen on headphones). But you're right---if a title is on CD, I don't mind gambling $10 to buy it unheard; $25 for an LP is a d... | |
| Standout track on an album Same with me, gh. I have SOW, but skipped West after not liking the couple before it. Perhaps I was being hasty! | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? In one of the sexiest songs I’ve ever heard (it makes Prince sound like a Jr. High School boy), Lucinda Williams in her song "Essence" sings:"Baby, sweet baby.........you’re my drug come on and let me..........taste your stuff""Baby, sweet baby...... | |
| Standout track on an album jafant, I too just read about Lucinda re-recording the Sweet Old World album. The new title is This Old Sweet World, and it's at the top of my "Buy" list. I also need to catch up with a couple older titles, The Ghosts Of Highway 20 and Down Where ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? reubent, I like when an artist has his or her backing band be the show opener, as is I believe the situation with Lucinda and Buick 6. I haven’t seen them yet, but she has always had a great band. I saw her at The Wiltern Theater (a great room) on... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Aw yeah slaw, Pontiac---great album. But no, Robyn Ludwick is a name new to me, so I’ll add her to my "check out" list.Speaking of Lucinda, yesterday on the TAS site I read a review of her newish release of This Sweet Old World, her re-recording o... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? uberwaltz, I love the T-Birds Tuff Enuff album. It was produced by the great Welshman Dave Edmunds, who is my all-time favorite producer. By the way, their previous album, T-Bird Rhythm, was produced by Dave’s partner in Rockpile, Nick Lowe, and i... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Turntables are not for lightweights, ay prof?! It takes a lot of work to maximize their performance, but if you have a lot of LPs it's well worth it. Then there is room acoustics! |
