I grew up in a state that borders Canada; so, I've always had an affinity for Canadian music.I was working in a record store when "Dinner At The Ritz" by City B... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Thanks @bdp24 for your stories. As for Duke Levine's session work, I'll add the early Jonatha Brooke albums to your list of where I first heard Duke's playing. I just thought of another guitar player......are you familiar with Johnny A? I like him... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Thanks @djones51. I'll check them out just based on their "name." I've actually discovered a lot of good artists that way, with Prefab Sprout being just one example. | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? @bdp24 Since you like Danny Gatton, you might want to check out either Duke Levine or Monte Montgomery. With Monte, you'll want to stick with his live releases: a) Caravan of Dreams b) Work Play or c) New & Approved. | |

| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? @Three_Easy_PaymentsCheck out a British band called I Am Kloot. They're a mixture of styles/genres (like Kikagaku Moyo), but with a heavy emphasis on lounge jazz. Their first two albums are the best ("Natural History" & "I Am Kloot"); but, the... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? @Three_Easy_Payments:The live acoustic CD is not available on the band's website. I found it when I looked up a live clip of "Ice" on YouTube. As far as I know, this is the only clip that was filmed from this show, which was in someone's basement ... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? @rar1 Rich, I'm not interesting in categorizing anything or anybody. All I did was report on the people that I know.The purpose of my post was for two reasons:1) I've been very disappointed with the current music of the 21st century. I can count t... | |

| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? My meaning of being "selective" when it comes to music is purely about your personal music budget. We all have our own ideas on what the proper balance is between our equipment budget versus our music budget. Having been a former "collector" mysel... | |

| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @aniwolfe Thanks for the tip on PSP "Live," I look forward to hearing that.I saw Simon Phillips playing on Jeff Beck's "There and Back" tour in 1980. I'll never forget the crowd's reaction when they opened the curtain to reveal probably the bigges... | |
| New to audiophile and need HELP. 1) Buy "used." It's great buying quality gear for 30 - 40 cents on the dollar!2) First, decide on the speakers that you can't live without. Once you know what your remaining budget and power requirements are, selecting an integrated amp should be ... | |
| Greatest debut album @Reubent: Nice call on DADA's debut album. I seriously considered mentioning that one. I saw them on the tour for that album. They were opening for Sting, and they blew him off the stage. That album is one of many great records where the single (D... |
