Have the day off, so to get things started -

Hydraulic Woman - "Glad Game"

I started with Alison Krauss & Union Station - New Favorite

Started off with some NPR blues and Jazz. Moved on to Muddy's Folk singer which is sounding absolutely Killer ! :)

Must be a day for killer music... I have some Eva Cassidy "Live at Blues Alley" goin'

:cool:

A new score from the week-end- Alasdair Roberts, Farewell Sorrow- kind of a Scottish version of Will Oldham. Mostly acoustic, vaguely Scottish traditional sounding (but no bagpipes). Great cd.

John Lee Hooker "Boogie Chillen"

SACD Hybrid :thmbsp:

Playing Scott Carter "East End Journal" again.
Great acoustic folk material, love it!

-Dave

It's a little Grateful Dead compilation this morning.

"Althea" is the current tune.

On deck: Allman Bros. "The Road Goes On Forever" remaster.

JDaniel


ps - hey Dave - there's a bonus or two in the package I mailed ya last week. Happy Thanksgiving.

Right now I'm listening to a great compilation titled "Harpin' Vol. 1" that was but together by a fellow AKer. Thanks JDaniel!

-Dave

Spent the evening with Siegel Schwall Shake, and some early Vangard years on vinyl, finished dinner with some Bread, mellow after some active Blues.

Jim

Starting out this morning with a little Van Morrison "What's Wrong With This Picture?". One of the best releases of 2003 IMO. :cool:

-Dave

Following up with Warren Zevon "The Wind", another of my top picks for 2003, before heading out for the day.

-Dave

I have today off too,have to work Tuesday but then I am off until next Monday.

Start the day with John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers...Blues Forever

yes!:guitar: :yippy:

Alan

bark at the moon
the ultimate sin
diary of a madman

does anybody besides me listen to any rock and roll music?

Trying to get some work done (yeah right), listening to one of my top five all time albums - The Allman Bros. - The Road Goes On Forever Remaster..

The few of us here at work today all brought food - Christmas cookies, sweets, pumpkin bread, a crock-pot full of Cheese/Rotel/Hamburger dip with chips. I'm gaining weight with each passing hour.

JDaniel

On deck: A Best of Ryko records compilation

Back home early and its Alison Krauss + Union Station "New Favorite" spinning away.

-Dave

Dave, Yep I do rock & roll but today seems to be another story:

Van Morrison: Too Long in Exile

Lyle Lovette: My Baby Don't Tolerate

Miles Davis: Best of CD on blue note

playing some CD's on the Lector today! a little burn in is good.

Starting out the day with a little Allman Brothers Band - Brothers And Sisters from 1973. Not a bad way to start the day - not bad at all.

JDaniel

Lucinda Williams – “World Without Tears” playing this morning. I just can't get enough of this CD lately :D

-Dave

Dave - Sounds like you like the newest Lucinda Williams. I just love her voice. Based on your comments, I may have to pick it up. For some reason, I hesitated in buying this cd, and Annie Lennox - Bare. I now regret not buying both. I guess these will go on my "buy" list, along with the new Lyle Lovett, and the new Sarah MacLachlan.

JDaniel

Yes! Another source hooked up here now- was getting a bit tired of constant XM Radio.

Right now- Joe Cocker 'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood', from the ALBUM 'With a Little Help From My Friends'.

Yes, vinyl is once again spinning at the Reyneman's place!

Haven't listened to a single tune today, not even the radio. Sad, sad :sigh:

I gotta re-adjust my priorities :p:

-Dave

Getting my 80s fix with one of my top five artists from that decade - Billy Idol - Rebel Yell. I thoroughly enjoyed that guy's music, along with Stevie Stevens guitar work.

For the drive home, I've selected a little Badfinger.

JDaniel

Yep, you seriously need to re-prioritze things. Shame on you Dave. For your punishment, I hereby sentence you to listen to at least one Little Feat album tonight. Might I suggest Ain't Had Enough Fun?

JDaniel

JDaniel

I humbly accept my punishment and promise to never let it happen again. I'll even through in some "Kickin' It At The Barn" just to make sure I'm good and punished :D

-Dave

Starting out with Jerry Garcia & David Grisman Not For Kids Only.

"What Will You Wear Jenny Jenkins" is the 1st tune. Cool song - good pickin', funny lyrics. If you've heard it, you know what I mean.

JDaniel

I just love it when goodies show up in the mail!

Allman Brothers Band Road Goes On Forever

:banana: :guitar:

-Dave

Yep - The Road Goes On Forever is an all-time fav. of mine. The Remaster became a 2-disc set, with an additional 13 songs. Now that's a remaster that is worth buying over the original. I've heard too many remasters that weren't worth the investment. How some "completists" who have to have every release keep up with things is beyond me. It would drive me crazy. Jethro Tull is a good example - tons of remasters, UK releases, etc.

Right now I'm spinning a little compilation I rec'd in the mail today from a friend in Rolling Rock Beer country. It has a cool selection of tunes, taken from many sources (CD, SACD, DTS-DVD, LP, Cassette, and even one MP3 tune). Lineup looks like this:

Blonde Redhead
The Wrens
Spoon
The Unicorns
Built To Spill (I love this band - have for a while now)
The Shins
Death Cab for Cutie
Peter Gabriel
Enon
Super Furry Animals
Grandaddy
Jucifer
McLusky
Dave Navarro
Weezer
Cheap Trick
Trail of the Dead
The Breeders
The Decemberists
Prince


JDaniel

i never read one of these threads, you guys listen to ALOT of music. i feel bad now that i dont. im almost always playing music on the computer when im here but it seems like i dont listen to alot of music on my system. I guess because its in my room. seperate from the house and theres just not much to do in there except lie around... listening to music.

Im gonna go play some selections from "the past and the present" that i havent heard in a while.

Keep them tunes a' spinnin! i need to get on it! :)

Mellowing out at work with My Morning Jacket It Still Moves.

After that, I'm headed home and plan on a serious, sit down in the easy chair, critical listen on the main rig to a fantastic album The Peter Malick Group featuring Norah Jones New York City. This album would be a good choice for the next "Group Review".

JDaniel

Now playing - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band "Uncle Charlie and His Dog Teddy". A trully wonderful album that not only shows off the talents of the band members but provides a bit of musical history as well.

Next I'm going to give Nickel Creek "This Side" a try. I'm still on the fence about this group. Not sure why as they are certainly a talented trio, just seems to be something missing.

-Dave

I'm sitting here playing with my new ebay toy listening to SRC's
Milestones(thanks to mOOn).


Carl

On the go this evening:

Bruce / Tunnel of Love / LP

Paul Weller / Stanley Road / CD

Till the Night is Gone: A Tribute to Doc Pomus / Various / CD

atuque

A little Badfinger best of at home and on the drive into work this morning. Oldies but goodies :yes:

-Dave

For me it is Lucinda Williams World Without Tears. I'm not sure where some of the cold reviews came from on this album. Even a couple of friends of mine, whose tastes in music are similar to mine, didn't care for this album - one even gave his copy away he said it was so bad. I think this is a very solid album - sultry, with a lot of soul and emotion. Whatever anyone else thinks, I like this album.

I think I'll spin Rickie Lee Jones self-titled album next. I think that was from 1976 maybe. Still sounds good today.

JD

I don't get the negative press and reviews on "World Without Tears" either Jeff. I thought it was great the first time I listened to it. Another good reason to ignore the critics and listen for yourself.

-Dave

Oldies? Been listening to the Association's greatest hits-- Windy playing right now with the snow blowing from north to south at about 30 mph.

Just listened again to the 2002 release by Marianne Faithfull Kissin' Time. This just isn't my thing. Anybody want this "library" version?

JD

Listening to the sweetness of a flugelhorn on Chuck Mangione's Feels So Good. I saw Chuck perform in a 400 seat high school auditorium back in 1985. I was in row 7. He came out in the audience and stood at row 7 and played a solo on his flugelhorn. I've been hooked ever since.

JD

got an album side in before work:

Tom Petty Echoes, the side with "swinging" and the title track.

It's weird listening to vinyl that is split in four sides for what was a single CD, but I like it. Don't know if it was digitally mastered but it's a good sounding album.

AM drive-time: Handsome Family, Singing Bones.

Home for lunch listening to a little Otis Rush "Lost In The Blues".

-Dave

Playing now: Mazzy Star "So Tonight That I Might See"

An amazing album with Hope Sandoval's amazing voice!!

john

Reasonably quiet afternoon at work, so Sarah McLachlan "Mirrorball" playing softly.

-Dave

Now it is Lucinda Williams Car Wheels on a Gravel Road. An outstanding album. That voice just reaches through the speakers, wraps it's arms around me, and ..............................


JD

Listening to a blues stream on my POS computer speakers.
Will somebody please slap some sense into me?

I'd even have to think seriously about another wife if I could find one who could talk like that..........

Had some good stuff spinnin' today.

John Prine: Greatest Hits

Sticky Fingers MSFL version

Guess Who American Woman

DB: some very good stuff indeed!

I'm spinning an AK recommendation from JDaniel, "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" by Lucinda Williams, courtesy of the local library system!

Playing Govt Mule. THANKS, Dave918! Will be playing a couple more Dave sent me. Sheesh. I was whipped opening that lil' box and seeing those CD-R's!

Off topic, but I've got to figure out how to work the rip and burn and such.

I was playing Humble Pie at the Whiskey A Go Go '69. Now Thank
Christ For The Bomb from The Groundhogs. T S McPhee is an
amazing guitarist.

Carl

Working through Carlos Guitarlos Straight From The Heart from my OKLA amigo;) . Thanks. Very diverse, raw music on here. I like it alot. The cd doesn't flow well (the styles change too much), but one their own the individual songs are great.

What are the rest of you listening to this morning? And if you aren't listening, then duh, that's why you're having a crappy Monday morning.

JD

Drive time music: Handsome Family, Singing Bones- my current favorite.

I'm taking a break enjoying some Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. My dad sure had a lot of these records, books too! Me now though.

Carl

I'm mellowing out a little after work while the crew does homework. Right now it is Dave Brubeck Quiet As The Moon. On Deck is more Dave Brubeck Jazz At Oberlin.

Once homework is done, I promised the boys I'd give them a chance to beat me in a few games of pool. I already beat them in basketball in three games of H-O-R-S-E after school. They get a little better all the time. Dear ole dad won't be winning too much longer. They already beat me at pool regularly, and I'm not half bad at pool (a direct result of a mis-spent youth hanging out with my older brother).

JD (hopin everyone else is mellowing out a little as well, or rockin out, or proggin out, or whatever is your preference).

I'm listening to Albert Collins Truckin'. Thanks Alan! ;)

Carl

Well, I'm listening to great collection of John Hiatt live tracks! Thanks Alan :D

-Dave

Broke the seal on an oldie but goodie this AM. One of my favorites back in 1976 - 77. You have to wonder what could've been.

Tommy Bolin ~ "Private Eyes"

I drove into work this morning with Frank Zappa Strictly Commercial. That's the good news. The bad news is that now I'll spend the entire day with the song Fine Girl in my head.

Fine Girl:

Well, yeah, well,

Oh yeah,
She was a fine girl
She could get down wit de get down
All de way down
She do yer laundry
She change a tire
Chop a little wood for de fire
Poke it around ... if it died down

Oh yeah,
She was a fine girl
She go up in the mornin'
She go down in the evenin'... all de way down
She do the dishes
If you wishes
Silverware too
Make it look brand new... when she get through

Oh yeah,
She was a fine girl
Outa this world

Well, yeah, well, yeah, well, yeah, well,

Oh yeah,
She was a fine girl
She could get down wit de get down
All de way down
She do your laundry
She change a tire
Chop a little wood for de fire
Poke it around ... if it died rlown

Oh yeah
She was a fine girl
With a lovely smile
With a bucket on her head
Fulla water from de well
She could run a mile

Oh yeah
She wouldn't spill a drop
It'd stay on top
Her head was kinda flat
But her hair covered that

She was a fine girl
Didn't need no school
She was built like a mule
With a thong sandal
Well, wasn't no kinda job she could not handle
She could get down ... wit de get down
All de way down

We need some more like dat, in dis kinda town
We need some more like dat, in dis kinda town


JD

Hate it when that happens :p:

Listening to Bob and Tom on the radio. Funny show. Contemplating what to cue up. Will run the 'fifth element' stereo for a while. That's the Nikko NR-1015, 85 wpc, driving the Marantz DS900 and Advent Loudspeaker. Nice, natural sounding.

Happy President's Day to all who get the holiday off.

Picked up two new albums, and giving one a listen now:

Cold Mountain Soundtrack. So far so good. Very reminiscent of O Brother Where Art Thou. Here's the lineup:

1. Wayfaring Stranger - Jack White
2. Like A Songbird That Has Fallen - Reeltime Travelers
3. I Wish My Baby Was Born - Tim Eriksen/Riley Baugus/Tim O'Brien
4. Scarlet Tide, The - Alison Krauss
5. Cuckoo, The - Tim Eriksen/Riley Baugus
6. I'm Sitting On Top Of The World - Jack White
7. Am I Born To Die? - Tim Eriksen
8. You Will Be My Ain True Love - Alison Krauss
9. I'm Going Home - Sacred Harp Singers
10. Never Far Away - Jack White
11. Christmas Time Will Soon Be Over - Jack White/Riley Baugus/Brendan Gleeson
12. Ruby With Red Eyes That Sparkle - Dirk Powell/Stuart Duncan
13. Lady Margret - Cassie Franklin
14. Great High Mountain - Jack White/Cassie Franklin/Tim Eriksen
15. Anthem - Gabriel Yared
16. Ada Plays - Gabriel Yared
17. Ada And Inman - Gabriel Yared
18. Love Theme - Gabriel Yared
19. Idumea - Sacred Harp Singers

Also picked up Sting Sacred Love. Will give you my impressions later.

JD

Just added the Cold Mountain soundtrack to my buy list the other day Jeff.

I'm now listening to one I had broke the seal on a couple days ago, but just now giving a full playback.

Scott Moody ~ "Four Miles To Rockingham". Very impressed so far, you can clearly hear James Taylor and Lyle Lovett influences. Interesting note about the CD title and front cover photo - The title of the CD comes from the stories Scott heard as a child about his great Aunt Lillian. Her picture is the front cover.

Born in Rockingham N.C. around the turn of the century. She was a wild woman during the roaring twenties. Highly educated and a great musician she became addicted to morphine somewhere along the way.

On Saturday nights she used to put on her Sunday dress and walk 4 miles to Rockingham to party all night returning home by the same route before dawn.

Gin Blossoms, New miserable experience. Playing on my most vintage vintage stereo-- the Nikko NR-1015, an OLD Technics ceedee player, and the Marantz DS900 & Advent Loudspeaker.

OK, now I'm listening to Nickelback, The Long road.

Well I knew I would get off track sometime today and start listening to some stuff I've had for awhile. :p:

NP: Creedence Clearwater Revisited ~ "Recollection"

Yeah I know some folks refuse to listen to this CD or go to the concerts because John didn't want to be involved and tried to put a stop to it. Doesn’t matter to me because I don't consider this to be a CCR reunion. I do consider it to be a fantastic performance. Stu Cook and Doug “Cosmo” Clifford are in true form, Elliot Easton is of course excellent on guitar, as you would expect, and John Tristao is outstanding on vocals. It’s very obvious that the group goes to great length to passionately and faithfully deliver the sound and spirit of the music and what it was about. IMO Creedence Clearwater Revisited deserves a lot of credit for keeping the music alive.

A while back I e-mailed the group to ask about the possibility of a concert DVD. Doug Clifford responded that one was in the works and would hopefully be out by summer. I don't buy many concert DVDs, but I'll grab this one.

-Dave

Haven't heard the tribute band, but have always enjoyed CCR.

I'm liking Irish bands, too, and am NP The Cranberries No need to argue.

Have switched over to the Yamaha system with the Aiwa Dolby S deck and am recording this ceedee. My 94 SHO only has a cassette player.

I just opened and put on Luther Allison's Bad News Is Coming.
Very tasty so far! :cool:

Carl

Music for Trumpet and orcehstra (Vivaldi, Manfredini, Torelli, Biber, and Tellemann),,Kapp label LP..

Carl:

If you like that one, check out his "Live in Chicago" 2 CD set, "Soul Fixin' Man" is good too. Luther is another one those those unsung bluesmen who folks don't appreciate until it's too late. I believe he passed a few years back from cancer.

My avatar is a pic I shot of him at Summerfest in Milwaukee prolly around mid-late 70s; I think Willie Dixon played that night too, I got some of him also.

Los Lonely Boys, followed by John Mayall's " Padlock on the Blues", but I gotta hit the hay soon. My little hernia LOA ends today and it's back to work at 4:00 AM :mad:

Andy,
I only had one of Luther's before but this one I like much better,
the Live In Chicago will be next for sure. Thanks and Good Luck
tomorrow!

Carl

I had a painful drive in this morning, thanks to Jason Mraz Waiting For My Rocket To Come. I heard one song, Curbside Prophet, from this album on an acoustical disc called "Live in the X-Lounge VI", and really liked it. So I got the album last week.

12 songs, and not one I could even begin to enjoy. Not even "Curbside Prophet". The album version of this song is a jangly banjo kinda rap diddy. Horrible. Painful. Might make my top-5 worst albums I own. Instead of a desert island disc, this should be a solitary confinement disc used in prisons. "Warden, I swear, I'm reformed. Please, I'll do anything, just no more Mraz."

I'm moving on to something better, and I've never even heard some of these discs before. How do I know they are better? They have to be compared to Mraz. I just rec'd this morning the remaining "Live in the X-Lounge" series of discs. Can't wait to spin them.

JD

Something titled "Tune-up 27" that I picked up at a thrift. SOme really good tunes throughout. Have tracked down the playlist online, and even some 'real' names playing on it. But, don't ask right now, I am sitting comfortably with my second cuppa joe.
Here it is:
You Don't Move Me (Keith Richards) / Christmas Must Be Tonight (Robbie Robertson) / Solidarity (Rhuthm Corps) / Acting This Way (Robert Cray Band) / Feel The Shake (Jetboy) / Motor (Circus Of Power) / Girls Night Out (Dirty Blonde) / Grain Of Sand (The Saints) / Daddy Have You Ever Been Arrested? (Dear Mr. President) / The LSD Edit (The Krush Brothers) / She's A Star (Survivor) / I Don't Wanna Know (Daryl Stuermer) / Some Kind Of Miracle (China Sky) / Place That's Insane (The Northern Pikes)

Mountain Goats, Tallahassee....really, really good.

Here's a fine jazz vocalist, Andrienne Wilson, She's dangerous.
She also plays flute and alto flute. Backed by Alex Blake, Tommy Campbell, Norman Hedman, & featuring George Cables, Bobby Watson and Stanton Davis.
This is a release by Arabesque Records, a small label. The recording is very well done.

Just finished a 1st listen to Live In The X-Lounge II. These discs are a series produced annually by our local FM alternative station. They are live acoustic recordings, in an MTV Unplugged style.

This disc is very very good. My only complaint is that many of these songs were radio hits. I'd have preferred deeper cuts.

Tracklist:


1. Out of Habit -- BR5-49
2. Meet Virginia -- Train
3. Hold my Hand -- Hootie & the Blowfish
4. Lullaby -- Shawn Mullins
5. I'll Be -- Edwin McCain
6. Are You Still Mad -- Alanis Morisette
7. Remedy -- Black Crowes
8. Everything You Want -- Vertical Horizon
9. All and All -- My Friend Steve
10. Sunburn -- Fuel
11. Ramble On -- Train
12. One -- Mr. Henry
13. Desert Mountain Showdown -- Hootie & the Blowfish
14. Blue Indian -- Widespread Panic

Too much Bloatie and the Whofish......

:D

Hey, I like those guys if for no other reason than they play golf all the time. Same reason I liked Huey Lewis & the News all those years. Don Henley too. Heck, even Alice Cooper has a darn good golf swing for that matter.

JD

Picked up Blackie and the Rodeo Kings on the weekend. Great stuff

Manic Monday around the office Dave? Haven't seen you all day.

This is the one and only Guster song I've heard. I like it, but you see where that got me with Jason Mraz (see reply above). It's simple - only a guitar and bongos, and some good harmonization. These two X-Lounge discs I've heard so far today are keepers. You'll get a chance to decide too.;)

JD

Yep, been crazy around here today. No time for tunes, so I'll have to make up for it this evening.

I have Guster's latest, "Keep It Together", and I like it. A bit soft, but it fits the mood sometimes.

-Dave

At work listening to Handsome Family ~ "Singing Bones"

Why is everyone looking at me strangely? :headscrat

Drove in with Jay Farrar Terroir Blues this a.m. Thanks Tentoze for the introduction. One of these days I'm going to burn this cd and eliminate the Space Noise tracks though. Otherwise a great cd - great voice.

JD

Spinning some old vinyl, The Outlaws, self-titled from 1975.

I kinda like the backward tape-loop interludes, but that ain't to say it's everyone's cup o' tea. Dang fine songs though.........

:)

Let's hear from Long John Baldry, Welcome to the Club Casablanca.
Had to listen to both sides.

For something entirely different, Judy Collins, Judith.

Lets kick with Montrose, Jump on it!

Played some Thompson Twins, and now playing is the second side of Johnny Winter's Still alive and well.

I was inserting a few new discs in the ceeedeeee rack and ran across an old friend, and just had to play it: Jackson Browne Running on Empty.

JD

Susan Tedeschi - "Wait for Me" pushed through my "new"

Klipsch KG2's the SX-780 seems to really like these speakers.

Dave

Now spinning Disc 2 of Aerosmith's A Little South of Sanity. Not a huge Aerosmith fan, but they are awesome live, and this collection captures it well.

Started out jumipmg around a bit...and settled on the Fifth Dimension...On the musicmatch MX artist on demand......this is great ...anything and everything you want to hear, when you want to hear it.........a whole variety of tunes at yer fingertips....ceptin' specfic tunes...but give em' time.....

something you might want to look into Dave!!!!!if you havent already....;)

After waiting almost 6 weeks for a new Denon DL-110 cartridge to show up, I spent about an hour setting it up in the HK T-60- broke it in with a very clean copy of Peter Gabriel's "So" at elevated volume. I be VERY happy about now. Moved on to Norman Blake's Fields of November", a treasure of traditional picking. Can't wait to get some hours on this cartridge.............

:D

So far, it's been a Blue Monday. I drove in with a very cool blues compilation I picked up at Target for $2.00 (and it's money well spent).

something you might want to look into Dave!!!!!if you havent already....;)

Whoa! missed this one somehow. Haven't looked into musicmatch yet R2R, But I will!!

-Dave

I'm chilling out with one of my top 5 bands from the 80s - The Psychedelic Furs. I haven't listened to this stuff in years. Takes me back to college (at least what I can remember).

Any other P-furs fans?

JD

Drove in with Los Lonely Boys this a.m. I don't think I'll ever tire of this album. I just found out they will be here in town in May as a headliner as part of a 3-day outdoor music festival we have each year called City Stages. They basically close off 6 blocks of downtown and put up about a dozen stages. From noon till midnight each day - a variety of artists. I'm definitely doing to catch LLB.

Now I'm listening to my new Gotta Lovett comp. A little Lyle Lovett music is always a good thing.

And I'm really pumped - I just picked up another Vintage Marantz, Model 2220, in excellent condition for $25. I can't wait to get this home and check it out. I'm gradually building a classic stereo system for each of my kids, to give to them one day when they are wise enough to appreciate it. My plans are to do the same for each with a classic car. I'm meeting a guy tomorrow to look at a 1970 Chevelle.

What ya listening to?

JD (it's spring break week here - one more day of work then it's vacation time for a few days - off to the mountains for some hiking, fishing, and relaxation.)

Cross Canadian Ragweed ~ Soul Gravy on the drive in this morning. Some really good tunes. Some of you will be getting a sample of these guys!!

-Dave

These guys must be good. I think I've seen you post more about them than any other band.

I'm just laughing out loud at some Lyle Lovett lyrics from the song Skinny Legs:

"And see that boy with that guitar
He's got a little round tush like I always wanted
A girlfriend in his car 'cause he's got
A little round...like I always wanted
Sister look at me again
You'd love me if I had a pooper like him
You'd love me if that were my rear end"


JD

I just listened to Charlie Daniels Redneck Fiddlin' Man, a 2002 release. Based on Dave/Alan's new rating scale, I'd only give it

:thmbsp:

Yep - only 1 out of 5. There's a couple of catchy tunes, but give me the old CDB anytime.

Moving on to The Joe Walsh Anthology - Look What I Did.

JD

I've been listening to Bill Evan's Waltz For Debbie, Stan Getz'
More West Coast Jazz(love Tangerine), now Therion's Crowning
of Atlantis. Ordered the Hi-Fi News test record ron-c recommended, finally, and a few Original Jazz Classics LP's.
Then I realized I better make a list of the shows I will go to in the next month. Hot Club SF, Tesla, Chris Hillman, Gov't Mule, Charlie
Musselwhite, Kraftwerk, and finally Derek Trucks on 5/01.
It's been an excellent year for live music so far. :)

Carl

I would luv to see Kraftwerk, very cool stuff.
Tonight I have a few minutes of the house to my self, have the Highwaymen spinnin' on the Marantz. I was worried because it is one of those thin as a paperplate albums, but sounds very, very good. Before that I started to listen to my new minty Wings- Venus and Mars album, but I think it will take some serious listening to get into it, so it will wait till later.

I got front row balcony for Kraftwerk at the Warfield theater. :D

Carl

Forgot, playing Rory Gallagher's BBC Sessions disk set

Hey gang - I'm back from vacation:mad: . Had a great time in the mountains fishing, hiking, visiting several waterfalls, wading through the falls with the kids, and just relaxing.

I started out with Ben Harper Diamonds on the Inside.

I'm getting ready to evaluate an MP3 disc of comps that a friend in N.C. sent me. It has 74 songs from various comps we've made through the years. He wanted to evaluate the quality of converting them to MP3s. I have little/no experience with MP3s, so I'm curious.

JD

Morning drive-time: Bonnie "Prince" Billy sings Greatest Palace Songs. Superb. Since I am not familiar with any of Oldham's outings as Palace or Palace Music, these tunes are all new to me. This is a welcome change of pace from the Bonnie "Prince" Billy persona of quiet, gloomy vocals over acoustic spare guitar. A full Nashville back-up band kicks up the twang nicely, and the recording quality is top notch.

Alan- BUY THIS ONE

:D

A couple of MP3 observations from this disc.

First, via headphones, the sound quality is fine. I'm curious as to how it will sound at home on the main system.

2nd, the annoying part is that, for whatever reason, my pc cd drive spins at an annoyingly fast rate, causing a lot of noise. I don't notice this with normal cds. It sounds like a data cd when you are trying to install software or something. Are all MP3 discs like this? Just curious.

JD

Moving on to the Handsome Family Singing Bones.

I started off with Therion's Secret Of The Ruins and am listening to
Tristania's Midwintertears/Angina album. :)

Carl

'Toze,
Will do Thanks

Alan

Enjoying Return Of The Grievous Angel: Tribute To Gram Parsons this evening courtesy of DAGLJAM6. First from a whole box of goodies that arrived in today's mail, Thanks Dave! :thmbsp:

-Dave

Hats off to you!Dave918 the Jeff Golub was enough in itself.
Mindy Smith on now very nice with that underlying grit on her first track.
:D :D :D :D :D :D

Dave

"If you'll be my Dixie chicken,
I'll be your Tennessee lamb"

Sounds like "Waiting for Columbus" is on at Andy's tonight

Man we have good taste in music on this board.
I've bought more cds from following the music forum.I've found tons of new artists.Let's all take a bow


Alan

Andy Williams' Greatest Hits.

It was that dang record thread that led me to listen to it:p:

Playing Mindy Smith ~ One Moment More for the thousandth time. If it’s possible to wear out a CD, I will this one. This girl has the goods! Highly recommended.

:D :D :D :D :D

-Dave

Thanks for the tip, I like chick singers-- have Blondie up, and Pat Benatar on deck. Rolling out the tunes on the big Soundcraftsmen amp with the CF150's pumping the sound.

Playin' Derek Trucks Band.

Man o man - I'm cueing up the first disc on my brand spanking new Dell - an Optiplex, 3.0 Ghz Pentium, 1.0 gig ram, DVD writer, 21" monitor. MMM - wish my home PC was decked out like this.

First disc I'll play is Tab Benoit - Swampland Jam. Then it's on to Marcia Ball - Presumed Innocent.

JD

Which one?

I'll vouch for the Mindy Smith she's gonna have a tough time topping this cd when she goes back to the studio.

Dave

Just gave a serious listen to Jimmie Dale Gilmore Spinning Around The Sun.

There's a few gems on this album. The song Reunion (duet with Lucinda Williams) is outstanding, as are I'm Gonna Love You & Another Colorado.

If you haven't heard this is a while, dust it off and give it a spin.

JD

A little techno tonight... Fragma ....Toca Me ....

Ill toca ya........

Reliving my youth with a little Joan Jett. 'Cuz I love Rock-n-Roll:guitar:

Put another dime in the jukebox baby!!!!!!!




Damn ...I dont have a GIF for that one!!!.............bummer dude..

Having another listen to David Olney ~ High, Wide and Lonesome
I really like this disk!

Up next: Greg Brown ~ Honey In The Lions Head

-Dave

Listening to Steely Dan Two Against Nature while trying to watch the UConn/Tech game (go Tech), type on the computer, and flip to Orange County Choppers during commercials. That's a lot of multi-tasking for this simple mind.

JD

No multitasking here, just listening to John Prine ~ In Spite Of Ourselves :D
An entertaining collection of classics performed as duets with some of the best in the industry - Lucinda Williams, Dolores Keane, Iris DeMent, Connie Smith, Emmylou Harris, Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood, Marty Stuart. A special CD indeed :yes:

-Dave

Indeed it is. I think I had it about a year before I sat down and really listened to it. 1st couple of times I played it, it just didn't reach me at all. Glad I finally wised up..........

:p:

Ok I'm traveling a different road.
Pachelbel: Canon - Philharmonia Virtuosi of New York, Richard kapp conducting
Tchaikovsky Waltz from Swan Lake Act I - The Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy conducting

Drove in to work this morning with My Morning Jacket ~ It Still Moves

Great CD :thmbsp:

-Dave

Drove in with JJ Cale Live. Outstanding album.

JD

Eva Cassidy.... I like all of the stuff she did. Would have been a GREAT artist... Was a GREAT artist.... Shame to have one so talented die so young...

My CD player died and it is in the shop getting fixed... If I had it up and running this A.M. it would be a good day for Roy Rogers and Norton Buffalo CD's... SF Blues..... Work just aint the same with no tunes....:(

This one hasn't left my CD player in days. "Transatlanticism" by Death Cab for Cutie. Haunting indy rock with some of the best lyrics and songwriting I've heard in a looong time. The first two or three listens didn't do much for me, but it is growing on me rapidly. Highly recommended. Available on 180g vinyl too.

After battling a sinus headache all day long, :( I am currently spinning an old favorite.

Picked up a new album that is quite good: Eric Clapton Me & Mr. Johnson. It is all Robert Johnson toons.

I just listened to Norah Jones Feels Like Home with the Mrs. while we were shooting pool.

JD

Spinning the Maxi-single 19 by Paul Hardcastle... been looking for this one for years.... Minty,Minty vinyl.... Brings back by breakdancing days :D
Before that some Inner Circle-Everything is Great and Lenny Kravitz- Let Love Rule before that, definetly a rockin' night, my ears are hurtin', just a bit though :D
