Arc of a diver.....Steve Winwood
Whats playing on your system today?
Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.
I listened to Trower songs:
Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....
Then I pulled out "Gamma".
I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....
Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?

The Cranberries "Everybody Else is Doing it,....." After around a 25 year wait, I finally have this one on vinyl! The label is Analog Spark. This isn’t your typical sounding, somewhat sterile, somewhat in your face, ’90s sounding vinyl either. Very smooth and analog sounding while keeping enough dynamics/transients to really make this one special. Inviting, involving, and (enticing). I had to get one more "ing" in there. It has SOUL! |
bdp24, If only it would be released on vinyl. Working my way through my new/only copy of Santana "Lotus" (lp) Jap./MFSL/RTI. Mudcrutch "2". I don’t recall reading anywhere here about this lp. I’m sure glad I finally bought. Strong, very strong IMO. In fact, highly recommended! He just kept getting better............ (lps) @kjweisner, I hope you have the QRP version of "Laid Back"...the absolute best version I’ve heard. Cheers! |
Just purchased a new set of speakers ! Lit them off with Eagles Farewell Tour and Pretenders Live at LA . Both on Blu-Ray playing in 5.2 .. Rock On .. Someone mentioned Pat Traverse . When I picked out the new speakers there was a PT shirt/jersey hanging in the store. I told the guy if we buy speakers the shirt goes too.... LOL .. Its hanging here ...... |

The sole album by The Notorious Cherry Bombs, a Super Group if there ever was one. NCB members include Rodney Crowell, Vince Gill, Richard Bennett (an absolutely fantastic guitarist), Hank DeVito, Tony Brown (yeah, the bigtime producer. But remember, he played piano for Elvis), and Eddie Bayers. Think of them as the Rockpile (Dave Edmunds/Nick Lowe/Billy Bremner/Terry Williams) of Country music (real Country, not the stuff on the radio now). THIS is the kind of songwriting, singing, and musicianship pro’s listen for from their peers. I’ll bet Robert Plant, a fairly recent convert to Country, is very much intimidated by these guys. From 2004, one of the very best albums of recent decades. Seriously! |
OK Guys, for you fans of Alt-Country/Americana I’m going to recommend a recording I’ve recommended a few times in the past. I believe this recorded was recommended here on AudiogoN several years ago, but I don’t remember who originally recommended it. Whoever it was, I thank you. It’s a wonderful recording. Here goes: Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez - "Live at the Ruhr Triennale". This is a fantastic recording by a couple of great artist, plus the band is really an All-Star Band. For anyone that doesn’t know Chip Taylor, he is the writer of both "Angel of the Morning" and "Wild Thing". He’s also the brother or Jon Voight. The aging Chip Taylor, and the very young Carrie Rodriguez (at the time of this recording) make great music together here. And the band is incredible - Bill Frisell, Greg Leisz, David Piltch, Kenny Wollesen and a special guest appearance by Buddy Miller. This is playing on my system right now and I’m enjoying the crap out of it........ |
Great, reubent. I see the Written In Chalk LP in your future! The two Buddy & Julie albums are of a piece, the same but different, like The Band’s 1st and 2nd albums. Buddy’s guitar song parts and little solos are SO cool, and his production SO hip. He sometimes employs frequency filtering, severe compression (the good kind ;-), and other engineering tricks to give a song an old-time 50’s or 60’s sound and feel, particularly in the Stax Records style. Very Southern, very rural, very Rootsy, really cool. |
@bdp24 - I really like Buddy Miller. Based on your recommendation, I've order the Buddy and Julie Miller -S/T CD. Should have it in a couple of days. I'll let you know how I like it. Too bad I didn't see your post about their 2009 release before I purchased the S/T CD. Would have rather ordered the newer record on Vinyl. Anyway, if I like the S/T recording, I'll probably pick up the LP too.... |
Hey, Slaw - my pleasure. Been watching your various music posts for a while now. I’m struck by how often you will post a title or artist that’s personally well-regarded. (And not talking the same old, same old.) Similar tastes maybe. Saw your mention of Gillian Welch’s "The Harrowing". Are you familiar with the Dave Rawlings Machine? Love the cover photo of "Nashville Obsolete". |
tomcarr, I agree- and a lot of Mr. Knophler's recordings are unparalleled. Today, more Roy Buchanan, Your Not Alone. Another masterpiece. Make note of his rendition of Neil Young's "Down by the River". Also recommended by bdp24, I listened to Danny Gatton, Crusin' Deuces. "Funhouse" and "Harlem Nocturne" are excellent tracks. N |
Follow-up on Buddy & Julie Miller: I hadn't listened to their Written In Chalk album (their 2nd, from 2009) in a while, but did last night. Wow, it may be even better than their 1st! Great, great songs (most written by Julie), fantastic production by Buddy (the living room of their Nashville home is his studio), stellar singing (Julie, Buddy, Patty Griffin, Robert Plant, and Emmylou Harris) and musicianship (Buddy---a superb guitarist, Larry Campbell, Jay Bellerose, Gurf Morlix---Lucinda Williams' original guitarist and producer, Stuart Duncan, and other lesser-knowns). And, the album is available on LP. The depth and breadth of Buddy's knowledge of American music is unparalleled (with the exception of Dylan, and perhaps T Bone Burnett), and is an absolutely fantastic producer, guitarist and bandleader (in which capacity he works for Emmylou Harris), and makes music as good as is currently being made. Written In Chalk is fantastic---just buy it! |
Hello nutty - Thanks for the comments and the Blues for Gary link. Hadn’t heard that one from RB. Do you think that’s for Gary as in Gary Moore? GM outlived RB so I wasn’t quite sure. I love RB’s playing but gosh talk about "fashion challenged"! Some of those pants...even I wouldn’t have worn ’em. Glad you liked the Albino Alligator (soundtrack to Kevin Spacey’s directorial debut). Yeah...Leslie West - another under appreciated axe-wielding madman. From "Climbing" - Never In My Life. Corky’s drumming on this is just superb or so it seems to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Edbw6AqF2ko |
ghosthouse, Big fan of Roy Buchanan. Check out "Blues for Gary" https://youtu.be/WtqZjQtr5Bg Leslie West, Still Climbing N |
Great stuff as always, slaw. Listening to Buddy & Julie Miller’s 2001 album (on the greatly-missed HighTone Records label, catalog number 8135) tonight, I am once again reminded of how incredibly talented they are, and how much I love them. Great songs by Julie (she is an incredible writer), Richard Thompson, Dylan, and Utah Phillips, fantastic singing by Julie and Buddy, superb guitar playing and production by Buddy (for my money, the best producer working today), and world-class musicians including bassists Joey Spampinato (NRBQ) and Garry Tallent (The E-Street Band), drummers Brian Blade and Donald Lindley (early Lucinda Williams), Larry Campbell (Dylan and Levon Helm bands, and now a solo artist) on fiddle, and Tammy Rogers on mandolin. Oh, and the exquisite Emmylou Harris on harmony vocals! One of my all-time favorite albums. |
