Mark Knopfler & James Taylor
You know that feeling you get when certain songs play. Songs like Wichita Lineman, White Bird, Nights in White Satin, etc.
There’s another one that’s about the Mason Dixon line of all things. It ‘gets’ me every time.

What songs ‘Get’ you every time?
and a taste from a spectacular LP.... |
What about "Hairway to Steven" by Butthole Surfers? A note about Procul Harum: I saw a strange concert in the early 70s with Humble Pie opening for Harum. Humble Pie were awful (dumb songs they couldn’t get off the ground) but man...Gary Brooker was, for me anyway, certainly one of the greatest live singers I’ve ever heard. Before or since. Miss that guy. Also, listing your favorite songs always is sort of strange as somebody, like me, thinks that a few listed here are simply unlistenable...but hey...there’s enough music around to keep me happy forever, and I'm stuck in a decades long Beatnik period listening to mostly jazz...new stuff amazes me every day. |
Pretty much anything by Fleetwood Mac from the Rumours Album forward, but even the old Bare Trees album was good. Knopfler rocks...maybe my favorite artist ever. Almost anything he has done resonates with me. Emmy Lou Harris, has done a bucket load of great songs, some of the best with Mark Knopfler. There were a number of keepers on the old Trio album, with Linda Ronstadt, Emmy Lou and Dolly Parton. A fine collection on one piece of vinyl. Linda Ronstadt has done a bucket load of songs I like very much. Her album Winter Light was a great test album with some marvelous really deep bass and close miked vocals with so much shimmer and air, its just amazing. Its wwell recorded, clean and clear and an outstanding test for low bass and upper treble. I could go on and on but the mods might ding me for being verbose :) |
