WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

Sierra Hull (sorry if this was already posted - well, no, I'm not; it can stand up to a relisten, I think:

This has been showing up in my YT feed.  Just listened to the first tune; very nice!

Sonic Smorgasbord   

Bobby & The Midnites, 1983! (I saw them that year on Long Island with Hot Tuna

Featuring Billy Cobham and Alphonso Johnson 

[DistillaMatto]

Very good. Great solo by Bobby Cochran. I also dig that suped up Ibanez. I can't tell if Alphonso's bass is Ibanez as well.

Really enjoyed that, thanks for posting.

Very good, indeed.
Bobby C's guitar appears to be one of Bobby W's "Cowboy Fancy" model, with the middle single-coil replaced by a 3rd humbucker.  And no - no idea of Mr. Johnson's bass.

Peter (who will add that Billy's kit is exactly the one he mentioned over in the humor thead a few days ago)

“Cowboy Fancy” was an Ibanez custom designed for Bobby.  It was meant to be somewhere between an ES335 and an Ibanez Artist.   Weir also spent a lot of time on the Ibanez 2681 with the “Tree of Life” inlay on the neck.

Bill, tgo

Yep.  And there were multiple iterations of each (according to Grateful Dead Gear - which I know is not what one could call "error-free" - at the time of publication you could buy a CF for $6666.  Last I looked, though, it's no longer a catalog item).

I've been following the current tour with Alison Krauss & Union Station with particular interest. Since opening night, I've heard the show get tighter each time. Alison sounds great.

Russell Moore is settling into the job quite comfortably.

Alison sounds great.

That would seem to imply there are times she doesn't; keep that kind of heresy up and we'uns is gunna hafta fight!

Just got a notification from East Nash Grass... the first track from their new record just posted. I really like this one... have since I first heard it. Maddie tells me the full album will be up and out by Summer's end. I expect they will get some airplay from this one meantime.

I was surprised to see the weat projected behind them; Illinois girl like Alison, I'd have expected corn and/or soybeans.....

Ya know, I hadn't thought of it years, but in the basement party room/jam room/my bedroom of a semi-communal-living kind of house back about late '79-early '80, there were 2 copies of Anthem;  the purple one we all know and love, and one with same cover, but with a white background.
The latter was purported to be a later Lesh remix.  I don't even recall if I preferred one over the other - but I sure would like to sit down with both again & see.

Nothing wrong with getting stuck in a Traffic jam.......
