| Female vocalist recommendations My earlier post was made in response to what I thought the op was asking for: "soothing" early-morning listening. If it’s female singers for any time of the day (or mood), that’s a whole ’nother matter. Rarely mentioned here are the great fema... | |
| RIP David Lindley Yet another great musician gone. I fear the next ten years (or even the rest of this decade) will be brutal, at least as far as the 60's and 70's generations of musicians is concerned. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? David Lindley: "Mercury Blues" (Asylum AS-11496-X). The LP version already sounds incredible, this 12" white label promo single even better. David and his El Rayo-X band were awesome live on stage. | |
| My opinion; @johnto, your parents were correct. ;-) | |
| Female vocalist recommendations - Maria Muldaur: s/t (Reprise Records). - Lucinda Williams: anything. Try her album West. - Dusty Springfield: Dusty In Memphis. | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" There is one song on Lucinda Williams’ West album that I consider Rap: the just-over nine minute "Wrap (ha ;-) My Head Around That". Melody-free, but it still works for me. Hey, I'm a poet ;-) . | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @acman3: Harmony? Hell, there's not even any melody! | |
| New In 2023 Rodney Crowell: The Chicago Sessions, due out on May 5th on New West Records, both LP and CD. For this album Rodney collaborated with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, both in writing and singing. Recorded in Wilco’s Chicago loft. | |
| Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time News flash! For those who think all current Country is crap, this may give you cause to reconsider: On May 5th New West Records (whose artist roster is of a very high quality) is releasing (on both LP and CD) Rodney Crowell: The Chicago Session... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones Speaking of Goffin and King (a favorite songwriting team of McCartney & Lennon. And me ;-), give a listen to Nick Lowe’s (Dave Edmunds’ partner in Rockpile) recording of their song "Halfway To Paradise". OMG, talk about Pure Pop paradise! Dav... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones In the 1990’s I lived in Sherman Oaks California, as did Billy Swan (and Johnny Ramone and Dave Edmunds ;-) . Billy was a singer-songwriter whose sole big hit was "I Can Help". Billy and I became acquainted, and he recounted to me an experience wh... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones For those who like the Rock 'n' Roll of The Stones; You ain't heard nothin' yet. Get yourself some Dave Edmunds albums, and see how it's really done! | |
| Beatles vs. Stones See, for me it was Big Joe Turner, Hank Williams, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, The Everly Brothers, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Slim Harpo (about ... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones ^ ;-) . While McCartney is a pretty good multi-instrumentalist, he can barely play drums. Emitt Rhodes---very Beatles influenced---started on drums (during his Freshman and Sophomore years in High School he was in The Palace Guard), moving to ... | |
| New In 2023 Announced in the promotional email I received from Music Direct last night: An Ultradisc One-Step release of Paul Simon’s fantastic second album, There Goes Rhymin’ Simon (of all his albums, the only two I like are this and his first). The album ... |
