| for any bluegrass fans... These guys sound great. Thanks for posting. I love the recent batch of bluegrass bands: Railroad Earth, Infamous Stringdusters, Old Crow Medicine Show, Yonder Mountain String Band, Chris Thile, and others. They are stretching the boundaries of the... | |
| Dream Syndicate Thanks Jazz. I guess my post made the car service sound like some kind of exotic designer drug. It is really just a way for me to have a few beers and avoid the Five-O so to speak. | |
| I would love some suggestions on great acoustic... This is a huge category and you already have some terrific suggestions. In no particular order, here are some of my favorite acoustic guitar artists that will inspire and sound great on your system:JormaMichael HedgesAntoine DufourTommy EmmanuelBr... | |
| Porqupine Tree I had a similar experience with Porcupine Tree. I was not familiar with them until several Agon folks recommended them in a thread I started about "new" prog bands. Like you, I find hints of old school prog bands in PT including Pink Floyd, Rush, ... | |
| Need some recommendations - hard driving big band Indigo Swing's albums and their singer Johnny Boyd's solo efforts are fun as well.And don't forget Sinatra. You can occasionally pick up Sinatra box sets on Ebay pretty cheap. | |
| Need some recommendations - hard driving big band Some great suggestions here. I can second a recommendation for Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band and Marty has some interesting ideas.One group that you might enjoy is Roomful of Blues. While not a traditional big band, their horn section drives grea... | |
| JVC XRCD 24 from Hong Kong A few years ago I bought the Beatles Box set off of EBAY for $80 when the list price was $250. It turned out to be a Chinese copy. The sound is o.k., but as I was reading the liner notes, of the "Revolver" album, George Harrison was spelled "Harri... | |
| Internet site w/interesting music recommendations Thanks for the post. I don't really listen to the radio anymore and am always looking for new interesting music. | |
| Rock Guitarist Dick Wagner Dies Thanks for the post. The duel guitar interplay on "Intro to Sweet Jane" on Rock and Roll Animal is one of my favorite electric songs and the album is consistently ranked as a top live recording on this blog. After reading your post I checked out W... | |

| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. I would swap the Stones for Metallica unless you are 13 years old. | |
| Artists One Should Know Callahan is excellent. One artist who I think has been consistently producing great work for many years is Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters. Earl is a Boston based blues guitar slinger who can play many diverse styles. His latest cd "True Stories"... | |
| In Awe of "Yessongs" Forty Years Later I think that Yessongs is one of the best live albums of all time. Like you, my first version was an 8 track and I was grateful to move on to the LP so that there was no "click click" in the middle of the long songs. The musicianship, and particula... | |
| CSNY Live 1974 We all want to remember iconic artists at their peak performing ability. The important point to me is that they created the body of original work in the first place. I am a huge Bryan Ferry fan and he turns 70 next year. He can't sing as well as h... | |
| Special artists never mentioned before on Agon My favorite Sanborn performance is on David Bowie's "David Live" from the 70's- not much jazz on that one.Alto sax player Doug James is a fairly obscure artist who has great bass recordings. James used to play for roomful of Blues and has done a l... |
