I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.
This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".
1983 release by an interesting group you mightn’t have heard of. Heavy weight talent especially in the early lineup: Mike Manieri (Vibes), Michael Brecker (Sax), Eliane Elias (Piano), Eddie Gomez (Bass), Peter Erskine (Drums).
Huh...good luck on the relocation, M. Got to keep the peace. "If Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." Truer words...
If you listen to all 500 of your CDs (or 470 remaining) start to finish, figure 50 minutes per CD and 8 hours a day listening, it's gonna take you almost 50 days to get through the lot of them. Yeah, I guess it would be going slow.
Haven't listened to any Santana in years, myself. First album, Abraxas and Caravanserai are all I know.
A while back I read accolades from Emmylou Harris and Buddy Miller about a guy named Doug Seegers. Their praise was quite glowing, and coming from them really means something. So I got his Going Down To The River album (CD only). Oh baby, Emmylou and Buddy are SO right! He sounds like he's been playing roadhouses, honkytonks, bars, and dance halls for decades---and he has. Buddy wrote the liner notes for the album (telling Doug's story. They've known each other since the early 70's), and they are the best I've ever read.
The music is 100 proof American Roots Music---Hard Country, Bluegrass, Southern (not Chicago) Blues, and all great. The material is excellent, all his own songs save for two---"There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight" by Hank Williams, and "She" by Gram Parsons and Chris Ethridge (from their time in The Flying Burrito Brothers), an incredible song that sounds like The Everly Brothers could have done it. Emmylou sings it with Doug almost as a duet. Fanf*ckingtastic!
The musicians are all world class artists; acoustic guitar, electric guitar, baritone guitar (the guitarist makes the low string absolutely growl!), dobro, mandolin, pedal steel guitar, fiddle, upright and electric bass, drums, organ, and sax. Phew! If you've dipped your feet in the Americana scene, getting albums by youngin's who have only fairly recently started playing Country music (and sound like it), do yourself a huge favor and GET THIS ALBUM!
Thanks, M. After I posted asking you, I thought to look it up. Google had it as a variant of LOL. The whole iPhone/texting thing seems to be generating a new language. I don’t text so....we be unhip and ignorant. Can’t say it bothers me much.
Later.
Right now, Bill Bruford, Ralph Towner, Eddie Gomez - If Summer Had Its Ghosts.
