| Lou Reed/Metallica "Lulu" just awful great posts. I love the old Reed stuff. When it comes to listening to rock and roll on the heavy side, I would rather listen to classic Sweet Jane off of Rock and Roll Animal than anything Metallica has ever released.But hey, that's just me. I gue... | |
| Rock n Roll w/Strings I think Alejandro is one of the most gifted song writers performing today. If you don't have "Room of Songs," you are in for a treat. The "Boxing Mirror" also rocks.As far as rock and roll bands with violin players go, my favorites are the Dixie D... | |
| Best sounding Santana debut and 3rd album I agree with Jaybo. | |
| Album Of The Year 2011 The one I keep going back to is the Feelies- "Here Before." It has the classic Feelies jangly sound, but goes in fresh new direction. I hope they continue to play together. | |
| Great Organists in Rock Jojo Hermann from Widespread Panic can tickle the ivories. Greg Rollie from Santana/Journey is great also. | |
| Live Performances Gone Awry A few years ago my wife and I saw Tony Bennett at Chastain here in Atlanta. Chastain is an outdoor amphitheater that allows you to bring in coolers, food, etc. Sometimes you see ice sculptures and ridiculous set ups. It can be one of the best plac... | |
| Best Classical to "broaden" listening arena? There are some great suggestions here. I would recommend Vivaldi's Four Seasons by Sarah Chang and any number of Aaron Copland's works performed by Leonard Bernstein. These can be found used on Amazon really cheap. | |

| Any pleasant surprises because of guest appearance What a great collection of shows! Albertporter, you must be quite the smooth guy. Thanks for the posts. | |
| Danny Gatton & Joey DeFrancesco One of the most versatile, often overlooked, guitarists ever. I like 88 Elmira St., New York Stories, and Hot Rod Guitar-the anthology. Might have to sip a little bourbon in front of the fireplace this weekend and listen to "One For Lenny". Has an... | |
| Suggestions for current blues guitarists I will follow up with a couple of specific suggestions. Try Ronnie Earl live in Europe and Kirk Eli Fletcher's My Turn. Ronnie is very prolific, but this live disc is a great sampling of his skills. You can check it out on amazon if your local sto... | |
| Live Performances Gone Awry Joni Mitchell on acid at the Hollywood Bowl in the late 70's. She sang beautifully and had poetic lyrics. Unfortunately, the lyrics were not from any of her songs and came from whatever alternative reality her mind had drifted off to. She was seei... | |

| 2011 "comeback" records In the have not heard, but looking forward to category:Chris Isaak- Beyond the Sun two disc collection of cover songs from the Sun Studio's heyday in the 50's. Isaak will do well with songs by Roy Orbison, Elvis,Johnny Cash, and others.The Bridge ... | |
| 2011 "comeback" records Hot Tuna- Steady as She GoesNot as good as some of their classics from the 70's, but still a refreshing surprise. |
