new gilmour album
Live in Gdansk is fantastic. Phil Manzanera from Roxy Music worked with Gilmour on the new album. Should be great. 
Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home?
I live in Atlanta and we used to have a really great selection on the FM dial. Unfortunately, consolidation and the purchase of the best college station to be converted to a 3rd NPR format has destroyed the former diversity. I used to enjoy gettin... 
Why not accordion ?
Years ago in my bachelor days,I went through a Cajun phase where I regularly visited friends in New Orleans to party. I picked up a taste for zydeco. Of course, the accordion is integral in zydeco music and the best practitioners use the instrumen... 
Chris Squire, Rest in Peace
Misspelled "chords'...sorry. 
Chris Squire, Rest in Peace
One of the best bass players ever. I have had the pleasure of seeing Yes live several times and Squire's musicianship and song writing ability laid the foundation for very complex works. It takes real skill for a bass player to perform as the lead... 
righteous reggae mon
Going through my collection, I found an early 90's gem- "Fire On the Mountain"- Reggae Artists Play the Grateful Dead. This is a great compilation album that always gets a warm reception in the Summertime. I am sure you could find a cheap used cop...

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I will be chillin' and sippin' on hummingbirds poolside in no time. I have ordered a few and will post my impressions. I really miss Lucky Dube by the way. He had the voice of an angel. "Guns and Roses" from Taxm... 
Allman Brothers Band -- Shades of Two Worlds
The old Bros. is the best configuration of the band. However, I like both Derek and Warren Haynes. They will continue to make fine music for many years. And I also enjoy the Chuck Leavell contributions- particularly on "Jessica" and "High Falls".T... 
Anyone heard/compared the Steven Wilson...
I have the Wilson miced 40th anniversary "Aqualung" cd package. It is fantastic.Steven Wilson has a FREE download on Amazon of his some of his solo pieces by the way. 
Quiet Riot Documentary
I enjoyed that as well. What I found interesting was that Kevin Dubrow's brother is that doctor on that "Botched" tv show. The documentary did give insight into the feast or famine lifestyle of one hit wonders. 
Atlanta GA
Unfortunately, a lot of the best used cd stores have closed over the past few years. Rwwear has good advice. Go to Little 5 Points, eat lunch at the Euclid Ave. Yacht club (excellent Brunswick stew) and walk to Wax'N'Fax and Criminal records. Ther...

What music do you want to play really loud?
Last night I enjoyed the guilty pleasure of FCA35 by Peter Frampton. This is a 3 disc live recording celebrating the 35th anniversary of "Frampton Comes Alive" released in 2012. The recording quality is excellent and I think that Peter Frampton is... 
Rolling Stones Tour 2015
I love the Stones. The problem I have with this tour is the ticket prices. The cheap seats for the privilege of seeing them in the same venue GA. Tech plays football are $160. The prime tickets are going in a package for $2000. I have seen them se...
