On autopilot today, iTunes radio: Radio Swiss Classic. Really helps me focus.
 
Not now, but last week I listened to a lot of King's X. Great stuff, but can honestly say I wasn't very productive if the band was jamming. And they were.  
 
+1 on Miller's version of Frankenstein

Yesterday was flash back Friday at work. Had a little Crimson-palooza.
King Crimson - Three of a Perfect Pair followed by The Night Watch.
 
Both line ups have their merit. I prefer Wetton's vocal work.

How is the Daltrey one?  It his latest yes?
 
Danny Gatton absolutely shreds on the telecaster! Sad loss, such talent. . .

At dinner tonight, a friend recommended the album, Illuminations, by Carlos Santana and Alice Coltrane; so that's what I'm listening to now.  I had never heard it before.

Paul, it is the album which just came out a month or so ago. Daltrey is in great form, but singing Wilko's songs allows him a different style than Who songs. As a long-time fan of Dr. Feelgood (and Wilko Johnson), it was initially a bit weird to hear Daltrey's voice on well known material instead of Lee Brilleaux, but within a few songs I was hooked. Of course, there is Wilko. It is in heavy rotation.
 
And yes, Gatton was amazing. The session with Robert Gordon is also a great album, especially for an unplanned recording.

I just love this:

Nancy does a great second vocal (Maggie Bell's lines from the original), Ann is in typically fine voice, and their FOH guy is really on his toes catching the echo'd single repeats on Ann's vocals towards the end.  If they'd done 'Going to California' right after this, it would have been beyond fine . . . . I just love those two, and why oh why doesn't Nance have a Little Darling ? ?

I'm listening to Danny Kirwan's guitar work on Dust from Bare Trees.  I love his guitar playing, and this is a nice simple example of why.
