Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.
I listened to Trower songs: Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....
Then I pulled out "Gamma". I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....
Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?
The Jerry Garcia Band - Live at Club Front, San Rafael CA. Recorded in 1990. 2 cassette set. Arista 1991. Great show. Jerry, John Kahn, Melvin Seals, David Kemper & Jackie LaBranch/Gloria Jones backing vocals.
Well, I was playing some selections over last weekend from my Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Anthology set #6. I have two of these sets, and always keep my eyes peeled for another at a reasonable cost. Just to check, I did a search on eBay last Saturday, and lo and behold, Goodwill had a set #3, stated in ‘good condition’ for $45. I took a chance, as that is 2-3+ times less what these usually go for.
Arrived Wednesday, opened it, and it is more like Mint- condition. I’m not sure it was actually ever played, and if so, very sparingly. So, turned out to be a great deal. And shipped out incredible fast. So, I’ll be listening to a lot of this set over the next few days.
Set #3 is live recordings from 1960-1970.
Wednesday night I played discs 1 & 2. Tonight, discs 3,4, &5. I guess my turntable is getting a break ;-)
@uberwaltz: Did you survive the trip? Haven't heard from you in a few days. I've had the same experience in the lower back. Miserable stuff. Even worse when you need to be working.
Khruangbin - The Universe Smiles Upon You. First album by this Texas trio. 2015 I think. Thai-funk ambient echo-chamber psychedelic mood groove lounge music recorded in a barn in Texas.
Just got the CD. Shocker here. NOT OVER COMPRESSED! I can't say what the DR actually is because the CD is not in the DR database yet. Lossless streaming versions are on the database and have excellent DR by today's standards and the CD sounds better than the hi-res streaming version. To me this is refreshing and ground breaking for a new artist to release a CD with a broad DR.
I've mentioned these guys before. It won't be for everybody. I still can't figure out why I like it so much except that it is well recorded and produced. Real sonic ear candy. Just put it on. Crank it up to a pleasant volume and give it a chance while you're doing something else.
I actually like their second and third album better. Can't wait to get those CDs! Happily paying new prices for this.
