Here is a really good one- Black Swan Lane. Formed in 2007 in Atlanta, Black Swan Lane included Mark Burgess from The Chameleons and The Sun and the Moon. They have seven albums out and rarely tour. I think they sound like a cross between the Cham...

Unofficial (Bootleg) LPs
I love old bootlegs. I had a nice collection of vinyl bootlegs from the late 70's and early 80's. It was the epitome of cool to play U2, Stones, and even the Grateful Dead bootlegs in college. While the worst editions had horrendous sound quality,...

Your last concert was to see who and when?
Saw the Dixie Dregs play at Center Stage here in Atlanta Saturday. It was a blast from the past and Steve Morse is still a monster on guitar. The highlight was at the end when Jimmy Herring (currently lead guitar for Widespread Panic) came out and...

Any NPR Tiny Desk Studio Concert.... lovers ? on youtube

I have also been enjoying Big Big Train's "Grimspound" which was named asThe Prog Report's best album of 2017. If you like early Genesis, Jethro Tull, Yes, and the prog genre in general you will like this. Well thought out songs and excellent musi...

I am really enjoying the new Wolf Alice album "Visions of a Life". Sometimes they sound like the Cranberries, sometimes they sound like the Pretenders or even My Bloody Valentine, but mostly, they are very original. Wolf Alice is a great British p...
