| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @bdp24 IMO, one example of a player who is capable of doing all the showy “whootly-whootly” wankery but chooses to instead be only in service of the song is Lindsey Buckingham. | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @stuartk Indeed, which is why I said, “the average session player on these tracks could play circles around just about anybody,” and then qualified Brad Paisley as a “recording artist,” as he is as good as the session players. | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @stuartk +1 on James Burton. Glen Campbell’s massive overall talent often overshadows the fact that , if he wants to, he can play as well as anybody. Jerry Reed holds his own on a YouTube vid with Chet Atkins, which is a remarkable feat. I abho... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. I’m really glad I saw David Lindley and Jesse Ed Davis mentioned here. A couple guys with both the technical proficiency AND the creativity/originality/voice I love listening to these guys. | |
| Cassette decks. How good can it get? I’ve never had the really high-end cassette decks, but I’m very happy with a JVC KD-S201. It’s very cool-looking. I’ve made wonderful sounding tapes sourced from vinyl, CD, YouTube, etc. Pre-recoded tapes (the good ones - we know how bad tapes... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @tomcy6 You didn’t read or understand my post. For you to play this brain-dead, bully style of argument-making, badgering me about playing with famous people, or how many “blues festivals” 😂 I’ve played, it’s unseemly. If I had 50 platinum recor... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @tomcy6 McDonald’s has sold 8 kazillion burgers. That don’t make them the world’s culinary Mecca. You can use blunt appeals to numbers to make your argument. That doesn’t make your argument cogent. By your logic, Milli Vanilli, Justin Bieber a... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @mahgister I agree that leveling a charge such as cultural appropriation is not to be taken lightly, or tossed around willy-nilly. For instance, is Eminem culturally-appropriative, or just exceptionally good at what he does? I think these are go... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @mahgister Yikes. You said it best: “I’m too old to be imprisoned in reeducation camp.” I only call it as I see it. Considering reprinting his 1976 comments here would be far too grotesque, I would urge you to google them. The ideas he express... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @mahgister Hey, it’s a free country. People can side with David Duke, Tucker Carlson, anybody they want. | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @tablejockey We’re not exactly treading on consistent-audiophilia-related ground when we’re talking about watches and God, are we? I didn’t know being a decent human was “woke.” This forum seems to fetishize a well-known, well-documented, vile r... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. @tablejockey You could have Clapton’s playing ability if you just bought a guitar and practiced with marginal diligence. I would guess the average person hits Clapton-level ability after about a year from starting from scratch. There’s nothing s... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. This is the third Clapton-related thread in a couple weeks. Sheesh. You guys are aware he is a culturally-appropriating, virulent racist, right? | |
| Best double live vinyl? I’ll second @xcool with “Live Rust” - Neil & Crazy Horse These may require 2 purchases to combine vol. 1 & 2 with some releases, but they are essentially live-double albums: “In Person Friday and Saturday Nights at the Blackhawk” - Miles... | |
| Why is most everything remastered? A word like “Remastered” accompanying a release justifies that release. People buy. Labels keep releasing remastered stuff. Sometimes this practice yields fortuitous results. Often it does not. ideally, communities like like one can help musi... |
