| Does Hannah Reid of London Grammar have the most captivating voice today? Yes. London Grammar has been getting a lot of press lately and she has a fine voice. I second Ghosthouse’s Beth Orton recommendation. A couple of my friends in New York are crazy about a band called Cigarettes After Sex. They remind me of the Cowb... | |
| New in 2017 Saw a press release today that Dean Wareham's Luna has a new album of cover songs and an EP of instrumentals coming out in September. First release since 2004. Luna is great if you aren't familiar with them. Kind of a Velvet Underground hip dreamp... | |
| Established popular artists who released real stinkers The common denominator here seems to be successful artists trying something new that didn't work out. I would rather them try and fail than just use the same formula over and over. Particularly if that formula is dictated from a corporate label tr... | |
| Autographed Albums I have autographed cd's from Tommy Emmanuel, The Dixie Dregs, and Todd Rundgren. I also have a very well healed neighbor who collects this sort of thing. His basement looks like a Hard Rock Cafe with autographed guitars hanging on all of the walls... | |
| Tune of the Day Thanks for posting the Buick 6. I love Lucinda and like Buick 6’s sound and general vibe. Here is a little electric Neil Young from the 2015 Farm Aid concert I have been enjoying lately.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os1TmpmjVug | |
| 80's iconic artists No doubt! I think Pollard can cram more hooks into a 2 minute song than just about anyone and I love the 60's Stones jangly guitar vibe that Anton creates. There are some excellent BJM live shows on youtube by the way. In both cases, at least thos... | |
| 80's iconic artists You are probably right about Hitchcock. Unfortunately, a lot of the contemporary rock and roll artists I like could probably use a good editor. Guided By Voices and Brian Jonestown Massacre come to mind. At their best, both of those groups release... | |
| 80's iconic artists I agree with you that Squeezing Out Sparks is a classic. Two other artists of this era who have continued to release quality work are Robyn Hitchcock and Lloyd Cole. I think Cole in particular has been underappreciated. | |
| 80's iconic artists Recently, I have been enjoying Sarah Jarosz, David Crosby, Bryan Ferry, and the Steve Martin/Edie Brickell releases. Jarosz is incredibly talented, Ferry's voice isn't what it used to be, but his arrangements are still top notch, Crosby is better ... | |
| Luna -Penthouse great album | |
| After a (weeks) worth of listening... Supreme Love Gods- self titled | |
| Best produced rock albums......... Glyn Johns' body of work is incredible. In recent years, I have admired Steven Wilson's (from Porcupine Tree) mastering work. He has handled the remastering for many of the classic prog releases including ELP, Yes, King Crimson, and Jethro Tull. I... | |
| Shout out for Kamasi Washington What is the title of the album? | |
| New in 2017 Aimee Mann- Mental Health is scheduled for March 31st. Many of her solo efforts are excellent and the first single sounds like a return to form for her. Real Estate has a new one coming out as well. | |
| What's your favorite album cover art ? Love Roger Dean, but in honor of the 45th anniversary of this album, I nominate the gatefold of the Allman Brother's "Eat a Peach". |
