WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

Wishbone Ash...'Argus.'

Great album from a much overlooked band.

The PHC vid was great - but Wakeman just doesn't seem right without a cape.....

Attempted edit to correct "fight" to "right" that accidentally became a quote instead......

Argus was a favorite for me; the first four Wishbone Ash albums are all good.  When I first heard the first song on the first album I was impressed with their sound; twin lead guitars, a great drummer, and wonderful bass.

Here is Throw Down The Sword from Argus.

Love that one. 'Time Was' and 'Blowin' Free' are my favorite tracks from Argus. I completely agree that the first four albums are their best, though I'm looking for a copy of their fifth, 'There's the Rub,' as Persephone is one of their greatest tunes.

Chick Corea & Gary Burton at NPR.  This is wonderful.

Got Wishbone Ash playing on a list in the office this morning. Like the twin guitars especially... it's a good brain exercise to think about those harmony parts while they're happening.

Way Back Home by The Steve Gadd Band with Jimmy Johnson.Great DVD/CD with A+ audio ; capturing the Alembic bass sound

Jenny O' Connor.

Peter (who thinks he may need a fiddle player....)

[edwardofhuncote]

Wonder if she is any relation to Mark O'Connor? (well, obviously somewhere way back, she must be...) I have totally got to get me one of those hats like the bass drummer is wearing!

In the spirit of Chic Fiddle-players, here's how we do that gig up here in Appalachia Coz.  .

We were camped next to these folks, year before last at the Old Fiddler's Convention in Galax, Virginia. Good times. Tatiana, is a fantastic guitar player and singer too.

[cozmik_cowboy]

Very nice!  As an Appalachian-American my own self, it sounds like home.  While I, alas, have no memory of him, I'm told my Great-Grandfather Harvey Gerlach was once the premier fiddler & harmonicist in the environs of Mudsock, WV.

Jenny has a YT channel as TheHotViolinist, where she has some nice nice living-room vids with her guitar-playing (and just as lovely) sister.

Carolina Chocolate Drops

More Carolina Chocolate Drops

This is a short set, and the band here is four piece.  The highlight for me is a gorgeous tune called Leaving Eden, which features beautiful vocals and cello.  But the whole set is worth watching.

[cozmik_cowboy]

My son, who hangs (and sometimes plays) with folks in this genre calls this "String-band 'Free Bird'" - but I like it.


Peter (who still likes to listen to "Free Bird", too)

[edwardofhuncote]

Love the Carolina Chocolate Drops... been a fan for a while. And they're (almost) neighbors to Dave and me. 

Esperanza Spalding was on PHC yesterday... may have been a re-run, but golly that lady can sing, and play bass. Wow. What she does isn't really my favorite thing, but the older I get the more I appreciate Jazz, well done.

[cozmik_cowboy]

Everything Esperanza does is amazes me; some of it I like to listen to, some I just appreciate.  But I love watching all of it.......


Peter (who only pays attention to her fingering.  Really.    )
