[Girl_Addicted]

Sitting next to my friend in the library and she was listening to...

Ice Cube-Put Your A** Into it

Kentucky Head Hunters-Don't Give Me No Lines


Yeah...it's a Friday...what can I say? :p

[dcarlson]

Eagles of Death Metal - Already Died.

It's been stuck in my head for a couple of days now. I have no idea why my head chose that song. It's there when I wake up and it's there when I go to sleep. It's a good song but there are better on the album.

Eagles of Death Metal is a Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age side project. It's some great foot stomping and head boppin Rock and Roll.

[BlueMDPicker]

Climax Blues Band - Tightly Knit

"Going down to her house.
With a razor and a gun,
Gonna' cut her if she stands still,
Gonna' shoot her if she runs."

:cool:

[Tour2ma]

Started the day with my Polktoberfest winnings... Steely Dan "Gaucho" MFSL Gold... (thanks, F1)
To paraphrase Robert Duval, "I love the sound of 'Gold' in the morning. It sounds like Victory."

Moved onto to Supertramp "Breakfast in America"... nice...

Played "Genius of Love" track off Tom Tom Club's self-titled to avoid a gap... gettin' the blood pumpin' now...

Now spinnin' a wife request, "World Clique" by Dee-Lite... Cranked it up so RuSsman can hear it in Dallas... :D

More later...

[dcarlson]

Wife request... yeah right. :p

No matter how cheesy it is, I've always liked Groove is in the Heart. Wait a minute... Did I just admit that? :eek: It must be the funky beat.

[Tour2ma]

Actually it was a WR....

If you like "Groove...", you'd love the CD. IMO "Groove.." is around the 2nd weakest track on the disk... Pure fluff, pure fun... Best CD cut-out-bin buy I've ever made...

PM me, if you like...

Now playing... Audience's "Lunch".... because it's that time...

[wodom1]

The Black Keys - "Rubber Factory"

I heard this band for the first time this last Saturday and immediately picked up two of their three albums. Check them out if you get the chance.

-Josh

[dcarlson]

Well, I guess I'll have to pick it up and give it a try. It's $10 at the local big box store.

Lately, I've been absolutely hooked on The Beastie Boys for their funky instrumentals. Hello Nasty got me started and I had to pick up a few others.

[dcarlson]

Some mp3's.

I can't put my finger on it but they remind me of something familiar.

[BlueMDPicker]

James Brown - "20 Greatest Hits"

Get up (get on up)
Get on the scene
Like a sex machine......

WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[Tour2ma]

Feelin' a tad frisky this AM BMDP? James Brown is the King of "the One"...

Bit more mellow for starters here...
Neil Young "Harvest Moon".. what a great throwback effort...

[BlueMDPicker]

Uh huh...

Transitioned right into "Freddie King (1934-1976)"

Shake your booty baby
Shake it one time for me (come on)
ALL RIGHT!
:cool:

[dcarlson]

Good choice with Harvest Moon, one of my favourites. :)

It was my birthday yesterday and lit one up with a whole lot of shooters and woke up feeling surprisingly fine.

I've got Hotel California playing.

[Tour2ma]

Awake now... and spinnin' "The Home Team" as they are known 'round he-yah... (For the rest of you it's ZZ TOP)...

Side note: I hit Dusty's house one time with an errant tee shot... 4th hole of the "La Quinta" course at Quail Valley CC SW of H-town in Missouri Ciity, TX.

[dcarlson]

Side note: my favourite shooter from last night was a Broken Down Golf Cart. :p :D

[Tour2ma]

LOL...

Now onto The Rascals "Good Lovin'"... God bless Rhino records...

Stayin' in da Rhino groove it's time for their "Best Of The Best Ofs'..."

[dcarlson]

To kick off my delve into the Blues, I picked up The Best of B.B. King Millenium Collection for $4 at hock. :D Having my first listen.

[Tour2ma]

Wired in the new additions and went through most of my Yes catalog... "The Yes Album", "Fragile" and "Close to the Edge"...

Then Flim and the BB's "Tricycle".

Now hittin' "The Best of War"... (Oh, Seeesko)

These little effer's just won't quit...

[BlueMDPicker]

Gary Moore - Blues Alive

His cover of "Too Tired" will get yer ass bumpin'!

Well engineered live album.

[Tour2ma]

Aretha Franklin.. baby... Dbl disk "Best of..."

Almost like bein' in church...

CAN I GET AN AMEN BRUTHAS?

[shack]

Stephen Stills - Manassas

Poco - A Good Feelin' To Know

It was my 70' country rock session tonight.

[Tour2ma]

Started off in Iceland with Bjork's "Debut"... Worst voice that I thuroughly enjoy...

Then spent a little time in the country with:
Mary Chapin Carpenter - "Come On Come On
and
Lucinda Williams - "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road"

Kind of a women's day... at least until I started seriously checking out the "new" 3.1 tl's...

[audiobliss]

CCR

Had you listend to this one before? If not, what did you think? (one of her best IMO)

[Tour2ma]

VERY enjoyable... I even knew two of the songs. :)

Wasn't this one of your many recommendations?

[shack]

Yes, I had it down at Troy's...I didn't know if you listened to it there. BTW any luck on the Memphis deal. I've made a couple of inquires to see is anyone could help if needed...unfortunately the ONE person I know would help just moved to Durham NC.

[Tour2ma]

Thanks for the efforts, but doesn't look like it'll happen... More will come along...

As for the MCM, nope, missed that at Troy's...

[landry_p2000]

2-PAC " All Eyez on Me"

[dcarlson]

Mogwai - Rock Action on some crappy old headphones through my laptop.

[BlueMDPicker]

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication

Change of pace.

[Tour2ma]

I like "Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic"... "Under the Bridge" would be a great tune in any genre'.

Spent a lot of quality time on the road with three BMDP "loaners"... Some thoughts on them...

Danny Gatton - "Live at Annapolis"
First track threw me as it was more Jazz than Blues, but rest was Blues... If you are into Guitar pryotechnics, check it out... Some amazing play, but...
Never quite grabbed me as being soulful... not even their rendition of the "Rocky and Bulwinkle Theme". :) Gonna give it another shot though...

Millage Gilbert - "Three Faces"
The genuine article... very "blusey"... very engaging... very good listen... Only studio recording in the lot, but had a "live" feel to it...

Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets featuring Sam Meyers - "Live at the Grand Emporium"
My pick of the litter... Had me smilin' and singin' songs I did not even know the lyrics to... Will be first up on the home system tommorrow...errr... today....

[BlueMDPicker]

Now THAT makes me smile!

Your ranking was exactly how I thought the loaners would shake out with you. I have my prediction hermetically sealed, in a mayonnaise jar, on the back porch of Funk & Wagnells.

Anson penned one of his most recent releases with you in mind, Bruce.

Check it out (http://www.rounder.com/index.php?id=album.php&catalog_id=6499)

[BlueMDPicker]

Abb Locke - Motel Blues

Sax me up, baby!

[landry_p2000]

Hall and Oates Greatest hits on a Panasonic cd/mp3 player.

[Tour2ma]

For some reason I'm in a blues mood...

Ran back through all the BMDP loaners.. pretty much the same reaction as yesterday, but found myself really liking Millage Gilbert - "Three Faces" more than I remembered...

Moved onto Little Charlie and the Night Cats' "Captured"...

Then Clapton "Unplugged"... semi-blues anywho...

Later...

[Tour2ma]

Average White Band - "The Best of..."

Aye Laddie, pretty funky for a bunch o' Scots...

EDIT: Next up.. Parlament - "Best of... Give up the Funk"
What can I say.... just in one of those moods....

[steveinaz]

Alter Bridge!

[dcarlson]

Bjork - Vespertine.

[Tour2ma]

Good stuff?

I've only got "Debut" and I love its qwerkiness (for lack of a better term). Can you compare "Vespertine" to it?

[landry_p2000]

Ludacris "Chicken & Beer"

[dcarlson]

Originally posted by Tour2ma

It has a couple of techno sounding songs like Debut but I find Vespertine to be more soothing and mellow. I can't say it has any real catchy tunes but it does have a couple of lyrically stunning love songs that sort of paint a picture of where she was in her life. (or at least that's what I think anyway). ;) I'd compare it to "Like Someone in Love" from Debut. I like it.

I'm just getting into Bjork and she's growing on me fast.

[BlueMDPicker]

Whop Frazier - Bathtub Blues
It's friday, time to take a bath whether you need one - or not.

Donald Fagan - Kamakiriad

The Very Best Of Dave Mason

Bonnie Raitt - Nick Of Time

http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drc700/c743/c74351iypv3.jpg

[Tour2ma]

Started with a little Comp CD my wife picked up at Coldwater Creek...
The Jazz Giants Play Frank Loesser - Davis, Rollins, Brubeck, Coltrane and others... well done...

Moved onto:
Dave Gruisin - "Homage to Duke"... really like this one... makes me wish I'd opened it when I impulse bought it 2 or 3 years ago... (BB bargain bin, as I recall).

Now up:
George Benson - "The ... Collection"... say no more...

Later...

[Shizelbs]

Collective Soul - Gel

[audiobliss]

Katrine Elam - No End In Sight

Casting Crowns - Who Am I

Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven

James Taylor - Carolina In My Mind, Fire & Rain, Shower the People

[JDOGG]

Rammstein, still. But the new album.

[shack]

Amy Grant - Simple Things

Howard Jones - Cross That Line

"She didn't want....a cuddle in the back seat,

He wanted more than a 5 minute thrill" Track 2 "Everlasting Love"

Very 80's

Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story

It's been awhile for this one. Absolutely great!

For all of those that think Rod Stewart is just stuff like "Hot Legs", "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy", "Forever Young", "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You", etc.....

He could rock in the early days! He lost that edge in the mid 70s when he went for the disco/glam/punk/balladeer/whatever sound. NEVER put out anything very good after Never A Dull Momemt IMO. If you've never heard this one GO FIND IT AND GIVE IT A LISTEN! "Maggie May" and "Every Picture Tell A Story" are worth the price of the CD by themselves.

[Tour2ma]

"I'm Losing You" was the first track ever played on my very first legit audio rig...

Stayed in a Jazz groove today...

Harper Brothers - "Remembrance: Live at the Village Canguard"

Wynton Marsalis - self titled

Marcus Roberts - "Deep in the Shed"

All good stuff...

[landry_p2000]

Cam'Ron presents......The Diplomats-Diplomatic Immunity disc one.
Dip Set!!!!!!

[TroyD]

Listening to Dire Straits......what a great SDA demo disc.

BDT

[BlueMDPicker]

Tongue Tied Harry and the Hairlips - Silverdome Sibilance Blues

[landry_p2000]

The Isley Bros. Greatest Love Songs. So, so smooth.:cool:

[Tour2ma]

Started with some jazz replay from yesterday...

Moved onto a couple of different Mozart piano concertos... if you're seen Amadeus, you've heard them...

Then...
Seatrain - Seatrain (new purchase of their "other" self-titled LP arrived in today's mail)... was OK-ish (LOVE the other "other")

Joe Ely - "Live at Liberty Lunch" a wonderful old Austin, Tejas club... If you like Ely, or want to, this may be the best intro to him... Very good stuff....
"Musta Notta Gotta Lotta.... Sleep Last Night"

Chilling to a little Pretenders - "The Isle of View" their "unplugged" release...

[dcarlson]

David Bowie - Best of 1969/1974

Suffragette City.

[shack]

Robinella & The CC Stringband - self titled

OK - I've got to do a little plug for this one. A local band made up University of Tennessee Knoxville grads. I saw them live and found out they had a CD released nationally in 2003. Sort of bluegrass with jazz influences (laid back bluegrass). Very, very nice. The lead singer has a unique voice that is pleasing...not your typical Loretta Lynn TN voice, but closer to Alison Krauss. Band is excellent and the recording is superb!

Our other locals have made their mark (good or bad) and millions...that being Kenny Chesney and Dolly Parton. I'd like to see this band do well. Go and check them out and maybe buy their CD. Available thru BMG for those members. It may not be for everyone's tastes ...but I like them.

[Tour2ma]

Hey, I've still got BMG freebies to burn, so I'm in...

Started the day (late) with:
The Tubes ... great album cover, but AMG's link is crossed some old salsa cover.. or something...
EDIT: Found another...
http://media.bestprices.com/content/music/40/152446.jpg

Now on... Seatrain's 2nd self-titled (GREAT STUFF being readied for loan).

http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drc100/c100/c10089a659e.jpg

as opposed to yesterday's 1st self-titled, which was a bit dissappointing, but needs at least one more spin to double check.

http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drf600/f691/f69101h3au9.jpg

... and to be followed by their 3rd album...

http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drf500/f571/f57172supb6.jpg

Been a while between spins of this'n, so will have to get back to you on the results of the search for filler...

[MacLeod]

Dream Theater - Train of Thought

[shack]

Big Head Todd & the Monsters - Crimes of Passion

The latest from Todd. Pretty good stuff...not quite to the level of Sister Sweetly but on par with their other albums.

[landry_p2000]

The very best of Sade. Smooth Operator.

[Tour2ma]

This AM... Eagles' Self titled debut... then the wife went to work and...

http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/dre200/e232/e23230krp6x.jpg

... then...

http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drd500/d556/d55611gu740.jpg

Now "cooling down" to a little Kansas - "The Best of..."

Ya gots to pace yourself you know...

[MacLeod]

Type O Negative - October Rust

[Tour2ma]

Without a doubt, one of the great, live RnR albums of all time...
http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drf200/f235/f23594jsz2c.jpg
And at about 10 dB below reference levels... Now all I need are the drugs and sex...

EDIT: Does 98 dB +/- 2 = 10 bD below ref level???

EDIT2: and CDP is set on "Repeat Disk"...:D :D :D

[dcarlson]

Although I only have his greatest hits, I think Lou Reed rocks. Transformer is on my must have list but just haven't got it yet. ;)

I've got some Stones - Sticky Fingers going.

[shack]

All SACDs in the changer tonight:

Johnny Winter - The Best Of Johnny Winter

Mary Chapin Carpenter - Time* Sex* Love*

[Tour2ma]

Very good listen... Moved onto Bela Fleck's "Tales form the Acoustic Planet"... again, mellow stuff for the day after the night before...

Next... him with his Flecktones "Three Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".... back with the electric banjo... picking up the pace alittle, without going crazy...
This is the one Bela to try if you want to test his waters...

[TroyD]

Starting out this morning with Willie Nelson's Stardust on LP.....

BDT

[BlueMDPicker]

Robben Ford - Supernatural

One of his best efforts, with Michael McDonald - excellent engineering and mix by Susan Rogers. HDCD

[BlueMDPicker]

Roomful of Blues - Watch You When You Go

Let your SDA's show you what they're capable of. HDCD

[BlueMDPicker]

The Derek Trucks Band - Joyful Noise

Perhaps the best slide player alive today. Solomon Burke's vocals will make a blues lover out of anyone.

[dcarlson]

You guys play a lot of music I've never heard and probably won't have the chance to.

Lately, I've been coming back to the B.B. King 20th Century Masters Millenium Collection I picked up for cheap. I wouldn't say it's all that great of an album overall but it's definitely making me want to get more B.B. King.

[DAGLJAM6]

NP'ing :Stravinsky's Firebird suite/Atlanta Symphony a above average performance and clean engineering giving the 10b's a little work out this a.m..

BTW, dcarlson, if your looking for a really good intro to B.B.King pick up "Blue on the Bayou" it's a studio album but extremely well done and has the Classic BB sound.

[TroyD]

Now onto Dan Fogelberg 'The Innocent Age' on LP

'Leader of the Band' is one of my faves...

BDT

[Tour2ma]

So far this AM a 4-disc Mozart set... first three small ensemble stuff, quartets, etc., with the 4th a collection of his overtures. Very nice Sunday Morning... had an free hour of sleep line up...

Wife's gone so now it's time to step up the pace... and the volume...

Peter Gabriel - "Shaking the Tree Sixteen Golden Greats"

,,, that ought to do it...

[MacLeod]

Nightwish's newest CD - Once

[dcarlson]

Van Morrison - Moondance. Vinyl on tubes. :)

[Tour2ma]

Mozart's Clarinet Concerto (Hogwood and the English Concert - Anthony Pay soloist)...

Followed by Jethro Tull - "Thick as a Brick"

Nice contrast...

[landry_p2000]

MAKAVELI Don Kiluminati--The 7 Day Theaory (Helps wake dat ass up)

[Tour2ma]

Moved onto The Who... "Quadrophenia".. forgot just how good their "other" rock opera is...

[DAGLJAM6]

"Tommy" tends to be more recognized by the masses but "Quadrophenia" is THE rock opera.
So much more on any level (music, theme, etc.)

Good one Bruce I 'll have to give it a listen this evening....

have to agree on the Rod Stewart thing

the three albums titled:
Gasoline Alley
Every Picture Tells a Story
and Never A Dull Moment
are some of the best stuff he has put out (not including the things he did during his stint with the Jeff Beck group and Faces)
all that late 70's stuff and later im sure made him a lot of money but it was just god awful compared to his earlier work

[landry_p2000]

Kanye West--The College Dropout

[Tour2ma]

Its called Steve Hackett-The Tokyo Tapes

[Tour2ma]

A few years ago, Tom Green had a show on MTV where he'd do all sorts of rediculous stuff in the name of comedy. He also had a few movies like Road Trip and Freddy got Fingered. He married and divorced Drew Barrymore.

The Essential Men at Work.

[Willow]

Even before MTV he had a show on our local cable here in Ottawa called the Tom Green show, where he pissed off his parents and everyone around him, like snorkeling in a fountain in a mall collecting change....someone from MTV saw him and the rest ..... trust me any time I'd see him on the street I'd cross I didn't want to end up being taped to a telephone pole and left there....:eek:

[dcarlson]

I remember when he was local in Ottawa and he got punched by an old drunk he was harassing on the street. I think the old dude managed to take his mic too. :D

Madonna - The Immaculate Collection

Gawd, I hate the versions of the songs on this disc. Need to get her remastered CDs.

[shack]

Carole King - Tapestry - SACD

I just picked up this SACD last week as I already have the LP. I have always liked this album (or at least thought I did). Last night her voice just seemed to grate on me. I was thinking that she was a great songwriter....but needs to let someone else record her music. Maybe it was just a bad night.....

That Coryell disc has some of the best sound on disc in recent memory.(The shimmer of the high hat is as good as it gets IMHO)
More amazing is that they recorded that in three days I believe.

Russ,

I've seen several posts regarding Portishead here. Can you tell me a bit about the (style, idiom, genre) of the group. What album would be a good starting point for someone uninitiated?

[RuSsMaN]

Dummy would be the album to start with, period.

Vocals, a soft spoken Natalie Merchant meets Suzanne Vega, with a splash of Bjork. The music, a slightly subdued, bass laden trance style, with obvious jazz and funk influences. The recording is nothing short of superb, very polished - but with some very gritty, low-fi sampling (turntables) inserted throughout - but tastefully done.

It's interesting stuff, to say the least.

Cheers,
Russ

AC/DC - Back In Black

Russ gave a very apt description of "Dummy". It will flex your PR's to be sure, and has some nice SDA treats as well...

BMDP,
If you like, I can add "Dummy" to the loaner list...

Dave,
Gave Larry another spin tonite, and paid a little more attention to detail (as in was not on the computer)... very nicely recorded to be sure.
Also spun the Stravinsky - Sciabrin disc while prepearing the evening's repast. Had never heard Gergiev and the Kirov S.O. before... nice...

Tonite mellowed out to a couple Francis Albert disks, "Songs for Swinging Lovers" and "Gold"... doesn't get much better.

Then a little Tony Bennett, "The Art of Excellence"... very nice...

Now playing very low we have:
J.S.Bach, "Sonatas for Flute", Jean-Pierre Rampal/ Trevor Pinnock (Harpsichord)/ Roland Pidoux (Cello)
Nice old, two-disk issue from CBS Masterworks... great Sunday paper stuff, and not too shabby for the wee hours of Friday either...

[Billm57]

Just picked up the new 4 disc King Crimson box set:

21st Century Guide To King Crimson Vol 1 (1969-1974)
the remastering on this set rocks..especially on some of the old
live stuff thats included

here is some info on it for those that are interested:

The aim of The 21st Century Guide To King Crimson is to replace the Frame By Frame 4-CD compilation (1991), taking advantage of technological advances, ten years of additional live and studio Crimsonising, and twelve years of archiving live material. Frame By Frame’s 3 studio + 1 live albums are being replaced by this two-volume 8-CD Guide, a comprehensive overview for new ears of all that is necessary in the Crimson corpus. Old-generation completists might disagree with some choices, but material not included in the Guide is available for new-generation completists, should they wish. The Guide can only exist now that the complete King Crimson recorded work (live and studio) is, for the first time, in one place: DGM; and a place where, arguably also for the first time, it is not being driven to serve the interests of business.

Robert Fripp
Wednesday 21st. July, 2004 (edited from the booklet introduction to the set)
-------------------------
Drawn from seven studio albums & a wealth of archive live performances, ‘The 21st Century Guide to King Crimson’ outlines the history of one of the most enduring & influential British rock groups. Covering the period 1969-1974, the
set consists of 2 CDs of studio & 2 CDs of live material. The studio tracks include material from the seminal debut album ‘In the Court of the Crimson
King’ through to the classic ‘Red’ album. The concert performances feature recordings from just prior to the release of ‘Court of..’ to the next to final concert by the mid seventies lineup in June 1974. All of the music has been digitally remastered, edited & assembled from the best source tapes available. In the case of ‘Court of..’ this is the first time the recently rediscovered original master tapes have been available for CD release. The release is packaged in a fold out book containing the CDs & booklet, housed in an outer slipcase. The booklet features a diary style timeline of the band detailing complete concert listings, recording dates, archive photos, posters, reviews, memorabilia & a new introduction by founder member Robert Fripp.

OK, Billm, but what do you think of it?

BS&T... again... really getting into this it seems...

Jackson Browne "The Pretender"

Janis' "Greatest Hits"... ugliest "pretty" voice ever to come out of the female of the species...

i gave my quick thoughts at the beginning of the post..remastering is great on it..some of the old live stuff was pretty rough on other compilations but they cleaned it up pretty good
If you are a fan of the band and dont have a lot of the remastered stuff they have released in the last couple years then this is a a great set to get..

[Tour2ma]

Thanks... I think all I have ever heard of theirs is "Court of the Crimson King", which I like quite a bit...

Is their other material comparable?

[Billm57]

Just about every album was unique..the first two (Wake Of Poseidin and Crimson King) are pretty similar but then they got into thier Lizard/Islands period and got a little jazzier and and little more wacky....it seems every band lineup change pretty much marked a different direction for the band musically
I dont think I would reccomend this set to someone based on them liking Crimson King alone. The musical direction in the the period between 69-74 changed pretty drastically every few albums

[Tour2ma]

Gracias...

Up for me so far today...

Big Head Todd and the Monsters' "Sister Sweetly"
shack's mention of a new BHT as a CD of the year nominee reminded me how much I like this one...

Blind Melon - self titled
Bought it for "No Rain" as most did... Rest is very different from that track and OK-ish to somewhat interesting...

Beach Boys - "Pet Sounds"
Something has to tide me over until I get "Smile"...

[dcarlson]

Blind Melon - Soup is the one to check out. Nico has some pretty good stuff as well. A great talent tragically cut short.

The Left Banke - "There's Gonna be a Storm"
A couple klunkers, but also has a lot more here than "Walk Away Renee' " and "Pretty Ballerina" going for it...

Portishead - "Portishead"
Not up to the level of "Dummy", but not bad...

Mott the Hoople - "All the Young Dudes"
I consistantly foget how great this album is until the first notes hit my ears... another of the 50 or so in my all-time top 20...
"Hi there... Your friendly neighborhood sadist come to take you for a ride...."

[Billm57]

I agree on the Mott The Hoople album..good stuff!

played Santana/McLaughlin-Love Devotion & Surrender on the commute in today

[ntculenuff]

right at this moment i am listening to:

Houses of the mole- Ministry (just saw them live a week ago, what a kick ass concert)

[BlueMDPicker]

Keb' Mo' - Keep It Simple

IMO the best from the best contemporary blues artist out there. Fire this one up on your SDA's and leave your body, and your worries, behind.

[Tour2ma]

BMDP,
Seems like every gathering I've been to lately someone is spinning one Keb CD or another. Just ordered his self-titled.

Spent Friday evening listening to Hamilton Loomis at a local club, Cactus Moon. The kid is growing up. Voice has gotten stronger. His guitar work is still astounding. And his stage presense is something to behold.

Now has what he calls his "little guitar", which is what it is. It's about a half-scale job that was custom made for him in Austin out of walnut by Chip Todd... just gorgeous.
http://www.hamiltonloomis.com/images/jrcactusmoon.jpg

Spent much of today with my freshly autographed copy of his latest CD, "Kickin' It". Great stuff... his best effort of the three I now own.

He's been expanding his travels yearly. I definitely recommend you look for him in your area....
http://www.hamiltonloomis.com/

Found a small write up on him at AMG... DId not realize he had two CD's prior to the three I own (all autorgraphed) and his first, "Hamilton", was Grammy nominated...
http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:0bfixqljld6e~T1
Just ordered it.

[BlueMDPicker]

Cool pic! That's what I call smokin'!

I'll keep an ear out for the lad.

[BlueMDPicker]

Keb' Mo' - Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues

Like the blues? Grab this one. From the opening contemporary genius of "Soon As I Get Paid" through brilliantly personalized covers of such blues standards as "Come On In My Kitchen" and "It Hurts Me Too" KM breathes new life and excitement into a true American art form.

Several tracks are HDCD, all are superbly engineered and mastered.

Be Bop Deluxe - Sunburst Finish

[Tour2ma]

BMDP,
Probably won't see Ham your way until late spring or summer (although you will hear him much sooner.... I promise). Spending most of the winter in the south... TX, NM, etc. This spring he's booked a a couple weeks in the UK. and is hoping to add some continent dates as well.
He did do some East Coast gigs this past summer, and I think it included one Baltimore area date.

Anyway you won't have to go further than my sig to keep track, but if you e-mail him, you can get on the monthly schedule mailing list.

Listening wise Monday... After more plays of "Kickin' It"...

My new, Eric Clapton - "Slowhand", SACD... Thanks, Jesse. The Stereo hybrid track is very nice.

The Flying Burrito Brother's "Farther Along: The Best of..."
Have never really been a fan with my only exposure being their "Last of the Red Hot Burritos", a so-so effort, but many say this group is where country rock began, so this was a WTH buy. And it turns out that I am pleased that I made it.

In addition to some fine, original songs (mostly by co-founders Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman), there are some excellent covers including: "Wild Horses", "Dark End of the Street" and, even the BeeGee's, "To Love Somebody".

[BlueMDPicker]

Keb' Mo' - Keep It Simple

Can't keep it out of the CDP transport. This one has GOT to be the 2004 Grammy winner for blues.

(Bruce - go get this!)

[woodyjacobs]

You know, I don't think I have ever contributed to this thread...not sure why. I work from home and listen to music almost all of the time while working, so here we go.

Today, so far

The Smiths - "Rank" (their live CD from the late 80's)

Tito and Tarantula - Tarantism - For you fans of blues rock you should check these guys out if you don't know them. They rock...did alot of the music for Robert Rodriguez's films "From Dusk 'Til Dawn" and "Desperado..." including the tune that Salma Hayek dances (but unfortunately doesn't strip) to in "Dusk".

Robbie Robertson's self-titled
Keeps jumpin' back in the player...

A couple new Arrivals in today's mail:
Hamilton Loomis' "Hamilton"
From 1997... 1st release by a very young Ham. Young voice and a little more "showey" on the guitar than he is now. Still, good stuff with nice work with Bo Diddley on "I Know Bo Diddley"... At the end of the song Bo says to HL, "You wanna know somethin'? I'm scared of you..." :cool:

Howlin' Wolf "Bluesmaster"
Budget label compilation disc. Very good sampler from one of the greats...

"Live Dates" is one of my few radio station winnings. Also won a pair of tickets to see them in an old downtown Cleveland movie theater, circa winter of '73-'74. Great show... Opening act was some new guy out of NJ named Spingsteen or something... wonder whatever became of him? :D

There's an excellent 2-disc WA compilation out... "Time Was/ The Wishbone Ash Collection".

Listening to some new arrivals today:
The James Gang - "Live in Concert"
It's pretty much the "... Rides Again" song line-up. After some strained opening vocals by my boy, Joe, this disc really warms up. Joe's guitar playing is very strong, maybe his zenith, and much "bluesier" than anything else I've heard from him. Some extended, improvised solos in about half the tracks make this one worth a buy... if you're into Joe.

Leon Russell - "... and the Shelter People"
Another one of the "lost tapes" (lost due to age) from my college days has now been replaced. Pretty much the quintessential Leon release. Memories of it were a little better than the reality, but the reality ain't bad so I am glad that I found and bought it.

Dream Theater - 'Awake'

[shack]

Last night was Derek And The Dominos - Layla - SACD (Thanks to my friend Jesse). EXCELLENT!

Tonight, I'm getting in the Christmas spirit...

Handel's Messiah performed by the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and The Stockholm Bach Choir - Anders Ohrwall - Conductor. A SACD by FIM (First Impressions Music). This is one of the finest recorded pieces of music I own. Start with one of the greatest works of music ever written, performed by truly world class musicians/vocalists and re-mastered extremely well as a SACD. It is a unique disc in many ways. Every time I hear the Hallelujah (Chorus) cold chills run down my spine.


Mannheim Steamroller - Christmas in the Aire

Home Alone [Original Soundtrack]

The Carpenters - Christmas Portrait

[Polkapops]

Bright Eyes: Lifted or The Story Is In The Soil, Keep Your Ear To The Ground

Took a few listenings for it to sink in, but since it has it is one of my favorites - Pretty powerful lyrics for someone his age. Helps if you put yourself in the right frame of mind before listening! :cool:

Rammstein - Mutter

[shack]

Decided to go with a trio of county ladies tonight....Not everyones favorites here I know...but there is something about a southern girl's voice that can charm the pants off of a southern guy...like me....

Sugarland - Twice The Speed of Life - Jennifer Nettles is a relative newcommer from Atlanta that has a pure southern voice that I can listen to for hours.

Sara Evans - Restless

Leann Rimes - Greatest Hits

Great voices within their genre...and not too bad to look at either!

[landry_p2000]

Nelly---Suit, followed by Ludacris---The Red Light District.
(wake UP!)

Motown - Michael McDonald

Great sounding disc featuring great performances from the ex-lead singer of the Doobie Brothers.
