I nominate the remastered and rereleased double CD "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," featuring the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Mother Maybelle Carter, Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, and many others. This super-session, now nearly 30 years old, is an absolute must for all of those who have latched onto bluegrass via Alison Krauss or the "O Brother, Where Art Thou" soundtrack. The songs are timeless, the performances remarkable, and the banter priceless. Best of all, the remaster is utterly unbelievable--this thing sounds as if it were recorded last night! "O Brother" is a fun record, but this is the real deal.
"RECORDING OF THE WEEK"?????
It may have been done before. If so, please let me know.
So often we are told by a friend about a band, tune, recording that is great…..
We come home with the Disc/Record and enjoy, but few people find out.
There have been many threads here about “recordings to die for” etc..
How about one for new tunes?
To be a bit more detailed about the spirit of my request:
I think everyone knows when Sting releases his new record.
But what about great tunes that the average person would not know about?
If we could share this information in the following format, it might be helpful.
BRUCE HORNSBY
“HERE COME THE NOISE-MAKERS. LIVE-98/99/00”
Live recordings of Bruce and company. Very good live recording, including a couple of Grateful Dead covers. Rock-oriented mix, with a “jam-band” flavor.
If it was kept similar to the format above, as time goes on, the thread could be used as a quick reference for people in search of new tunes.
I would love to hear any suggestions.
