Obscure? Crawler. Behold! No, seriously, listen! @millercarbon, Haven't heard Crawler in at least 20 years....way too long. I saw them live twice -- in 1977 as the opening act for Robin Trower and in 1978 as the opening act for Kansas. "Stone Cold Sober" was getting massive airplay on FM stations across the country, and Crawler was on tour for almost a straight year opening for Robin Trower, Cheap Trick, Foreigner, and Kansas. After the Kansas tour, the keyboardist quit to tour with The Who and the band folded. Although I was nothing close to stone, cold, sober both times I saw them, I DO REMEMBER they put on one hell of a live show. Geoff Whitehorn, their guitarist, had an amazing "Santana-like" playing style. After Crawler, he played with Paul Rodgers and Bad Company, Roger Waters, and since 1991 he has been the guitarist for Procul Harum. I always found that ironic, since Robin Trower established himself with Procul Harum, left them to form his own band, and Whitehorn played in a band that opened for the Robin Trower Band and then he joined Procul Harum. Anyway, thanks for the trip down memory lane. |
Vinx - Rooms in my father’s house. .Neo Calypso? Nice transparent recording with a big stage and some nice bass dynamics when called. https://youtu.be/222kfNI3rlE Chico Freeman - Tangents (w/Bobby McFerrin). All time great free jazz recording. Turn this song to 90+ dB to see what your system can do! https://youtu.be/7LWpsfKlAR0 |
@1111art, Thanks, man. This has been my favorite post in this Forum since I joined Audiogon. I've seen some great new music, and hidden gems I found I actually had in my 50+ years vinyl collection. I'll throw out a couple that I have not seen mentioned. "Bedtime Stories", the first solo album by David Baerwald, released in May 1990. Baerwald was one of the "David's" in the band "David + David", who released the Platinum selling 1986 album, "Boomtown". "Bedtime Stories" is a romantic album based on tales of suburban ennui and decay, featuring Joni Mitchell on guitar and backup vocals -- an amazing sounding album and incredible songwriting. In 1992, he co-founded the "Tuesday Music Club", a collection of Los Angeles musicians and songwriters that were the creative force behind Sheryl Crow's debut album, "Tuesday Night Music Club". https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0nm9YD0EsNrj5JwVKHMBqPYljy0oiyW9 Another is the self-titled debut release by "Satellite Paradiso" in May 2016, an all-star project from John Ashton, formerly the lead guitarist of The Psychedelic Furs. The core band is Ashton, vocalist Fred Schreck (The Ancients, Crush), bassist Robert Burke Warren (The Fleshtones) and drummer Frank Coleman (Jayne County, Bentmen). Additional musicians includes bassists Sara Lee (Gang of Four, B-52s) and Gail Ann Dorsey (David Bowie, Lenny Kravitz); drummer Paul Ferguson (Killing Joke); guitarist Cheetah Chrome (Dead Boys, Rocket From the Tombs); Mercury Rev's Anthony Molina and Jonathan Donahue; Flo & Eddie’s Mark Volman (The Turtles, Frank Zappa, T.Rex); and original Furs members Duncan Kilburn (sax) and Roger Morris (guitar, keys). Brilliant album. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mobNlHBhgILTWaVoCAwuhsvTLLSjBHVIA |
