WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

Grateful Dead at the Avalon Ballroom, 05/1966-

I just saw in my news feed that it is Freddie King's Birthday, today.  Happy Birthday, Freddie King!

Video from the Old Fiddlers Convention in Galax, Virginia... in 1987. This is a perfect example of the trance-like groove that draws you into oldtyme music. (new tune begins at 1:15) What a jam this was! I don't know where these folks are today, but I do know I was there and probably within earshot of this very jam outside those old horse stalls. I haven't missed a single year since 1985, and this is why. I've gone home, and 4 days later could still hear that sound, that beat.

I'm listening to (and downloading) our fellow club member Hieronymous' new Stanley Lighthead album.  (See also the release posting to his Gigs section thread.)

Loved this; Nuno Bettencourt with Nancy Wilson.  Nancy brought her lead singer, Liv Warfield, with her; and she can sing those parts.  From Bettencourt's introduction, apparently Nancy decided that afternoon to come by and play the tunes.

Carolyn Wonderland with Bonnie Raitt.

Kind of a contrast there between Wonderland and Raitt.    Could have turned Raitt up a good bit more in the mix, and given her a lot longer lead.

Fleetwood Mac's new lineup live.  The Chain.  Gypsy.

Thanks Dave. 

Was the soundguy asleep for John's bass solo on "The Chain" or I just can't hear it on my phone? Looks like he's playing one of his Godin basses on one and bound and blocked Fender-ish P or Tele on the other. Lakland maybe? No Alembic. 

This band could work with Campbell & Finn, but I think they'll have to do more than pop hits from the Buckingham/Nicks era at concerts to sell it.

*I put the cans on so I could hear... yeah, sounds pretty great actually! John's definitely still got the chops too. Wish there was some way to get him to pull the old Dragons out of retirement...

Bass solo came through good on the tv.  I really like this line up, hope they have fun.  Only thing missing is John’s Alembic...

[David Houck]

Thought you might like that Gregory.

One of my all time favorites from north of the border...Bruce Cockburn, Pacing the Cage

[pauldo]

Brian, thanks for that... truth put to music.

There is a darkness there that hits close to home.

Pauldo:


I couldn't agree with you more. Cockburn always does that so very well.


I never understood why he never drew more attention from the public.  He may have just been born or more accurately had the longest part of his career at a time when music wasn't really being used to convey important messages.

I recall the late Glen Campbell introducing John Hartford to play a little song called “Gentle on my Mind” on what I think was called the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour.

Well he played it on the banjo. But you all know what I mean.
