Grace Potter And The Nocturnals, The Lion The Beast The Beat. Well produced. Janes Addicion, Ritual De Lo Habitual- Thanks astewart8944 for mentioning Janes Addicion above. Been a while since I've played them as well. A track from Janes Addition from Guitar Sessions, "Janes Says". https://youtu.be/gPsorSm1PpQOne track by Johnny Lang, "Lie To Me". I feel is some of his best. https://youtu.be/3tigVYfHVmQTool, "Forty Six & 2". https://youtu.be/Tja6_h4lT6AN |
@geoffkait Only if you had to get out a pencil to rewind the tape ;-) |
Bo Diddley's a Gunslinger. On cassette. Is that wrong?

@nutty blessed Easter to you. |
Don Henley "The End of the Innocence" 1889 Geffen RBCD
Pat Metheny "Bright Size Life" 1976 ECM RBCD
Green Day "Dookie" 1994 Reprise RBCD
Herbie Hancock "Maiden Voyage" 1965/1985 Manhattan/Capitol RBCD
Big Star "#1 Record" 1972/1992 Ardent/Stax RBCD
Big Star "Radio City" 1972/1992 Ardent/Stax RBCD
Man, if the record companies could have promoted and distributed these Big Star records better, Alex Chilton would have been a major rock star. Both these albums are terrific and still hold up years later. |
I wish everyone has a peaceful and happy Easter.

Yesterday's play list:
Wynton Marsalis "Black Codes (From the Underground)" 1985 Columbia RBCD--This is probably Marsalis' best recording of mostly songs he composed.
Jane's Addiction "Nothing's Shocking" 1988 Warner Bros. RBCD--I played this recording right after the one above and my wife came and asked me, "Who is this?"...and not in a way that said she was loving it. I generally listen to jazz and rock interspersed together; I think it clearly reveals that in many rock records earlier jazz records paved the way. This CD goes back on the shelf for another year.
Thelonius Monk "Monk's Dream" 1963/2002 Columbia/Legacy RBCD--Monk was a musical genius; not appreciated early, but covered like crazy by many jazz artists. |

Re Dalton Santos, "Glad we found that one." Too generous...it was you posted the Santos You Tube vid, nutty. Great stuff. Tracking down more Bunny Brunel and came across some albums by CAB (Chambers, maAlpine, & Brunel). On CAB4, supposedly the best of them, there’s also Brian Auger (if you remember that name) and some great piano work by Partrice Rushen. To further confuse thinks, CAB4 is actually the 3rd by this fusion "super group". Here are two great tracks (Tracks 6 & 7) BB’s Rumba (or should that be Rhumba?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7-khoaPTcE&ab_channel=CAB-Topichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2t8AKj9mJ0&ab_channel=CAB-TopicI found Trial X "Through the World" on Tidal and saved it. Thought they were more talent from Brazil but it looks like Argentina. Listened a little. Will have to give it another go. First impression: not as inspired or polished as the Santos but it’s early on. |

The British import version of Electric Ladyland. Especially like the long Voodoo Chile jam |

@nutty
Digging into Dalton Santos’ "The Inner Things" tonight.
Been listening to a lot of fusion lately. Seems like Santos’ music falls into that category. Thanks for recommending him. Great SQ on the recording. Songs that are interesting and musical...not just soulless chop shop displays. My main complaint? It's not long enough!
Some things you might enjoy (not necessarily real new)...
Bunny Brunel - Momentum

If I had a vote (never going to happen) I would vote for the first three and give a nod to the guitar player in the fourth listing

What band isn't in the R&R HofF |
John Geils of the J. Geils Band was found dead at his Massachusetts home by police Tuesday, authorities said. Police responded to Geils' home on Graniteville Road for a well-being check around 4 p.m., according to the Groton Police Department. Upon their arrival, police found Geils unresponsive, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The musician, whose full name is John Warren Geils Jr., was 71 years old. He is also listed as the homeowner of the house, police said. Geils' death is under investigation because he was alone at the time of his death, but a preliminary investigation indicates that Geils died of natural causes, according to authorities. Foul play is not suspected at this time. Further information on the incident was not immediately available. Geils was the frontman for the J. Geils band, best known for the No. 1 single "Centerfold" from its 1981 album "Freeze Frame." The band is a nominee for the 2017 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Mahavishnu Orchestra "The Inner Mounting Flame" 1971/1988 Columbia Legacy Remaster RBCD
Eric Johnson "Ah Via Musicom" 1990 Capitol RBCD
Sonny Rollins "Saxophone Colossus" 1956/1987 Prestige OJC Remaster RBCD---This recording is one of my jazz favorites. Max Roach on the drums demonstrates that a small kit can produce big and varied sounds when a master is playing it. Rollins' sax playing is always full of life and energy.
Joni Mitchell "Court and Spark" 1974 Asylum RBCD |
Nils Lofgren - Acoustic Live
Pete Townshend - White City

@nutty Yes, this is a great recording. If I had to have only one record on a deserted island (that had electricity--weird island), the chances are high I'm picking this one. I have seen Boston in concert after Brad Delp's death. They are a good show, but it is clearly Scholz and Company, and always has been. Rumor is that the record company listened to the demo tape and demanded to see "Boston" play a live show before they would sign the band because they doubted the sound could be reproduced in a live concert. After the show, the label wisely signed Scholz, although they would have been wiser to also sign Delp. It appears Delp's depression leading to his suicide was fueled, in part, by the fact that he was indisputably Boston's vocal sound yet in Delp's mind Scholz treated him merely as an employee. Scholz disputes such claims, which are made by Delp's family. Delp's vocal talent proved too much for one man to cover (such as the new Journey front man covering for Steve Perry). Boston now has two singers, one to cover Delp's lower registers and one to cover Delp's higher registers. The show is worth the ticket. Scholz still plays a great guitar and his organ playing continues to shine. All this makes me want to play that record.... |
Boston, S/T One of the best recordings. Interestingly enough, Boston wasn't a real band. The albumn was recorded in by Tom Sultz alone on a multi track in his basement. What a fantastic and special sound! https://youtu.be/co_57iTPRv0Tom was an Engineer and and inventor as well. Please view the links! https://youtu.be/R1c0Bx_StvEN |
Cannonball Adderley "Somethin' Else" 1958/2009 Blue Note/Analogue SACD---(This is a terrific recording top to bottom.)

Grant Green "Idle Moments" 1963/1999 Blue Note RBCD RVG Edition
Bruce Cockburn "World of Wonders" 1986 MCA RBCD---(I am a dedicated Cockburn fan, but this recording is mediocre. The songs are great...the recording of them is not.)
Wayne Shorter "Speak No Evil" 1965/1987 Blue Note RBCD
Oasis "Definitely Maybe" 1994 Epic RBCD---(I use this recording to test speakers. Track #1 "Rock 'n' Roll Star." It is bright and full of vocal distortion like the whole album. If speakers can't make this recording palatable, then they aren't right for me, because I'm going to listen to Oasis--LOUD!) |

astewart8944, Thanks for the info! And your recent set lists are great also. Physical Graffiti has always been a favorite. And Zep's "Since I've been Loving You" is probaly the greatest Zep song ever. Still holds up today. Believe ghosthouse and arcamm88 mentioned it recently. Today I'm into Wolfmother S/T. "Dimension" is a great cut. https://youtu.be/hcCEtIX4MXkN |

@nutty Ah, Texas Blues/Rock, nothing else like it. FWIW Dust Hill grew up in the Dallas neighborhood known as Lakewood and attended Woodrow Wilson High School, where my aspiring bass player now attends. When Dusty was at Woodrow, word has it he played the cello. |

Another record show purchase...
Tommy Bolin "Private Eyes". This lp has quite a bit of sub 35H bass info and comes across very clean and musical. I could only imagine an audiophile label getting a hold of the masters if they're available. It would move the foundation!
Anyone have other TB recommendations?

This Mingus Ah Um album is magic! The arrangements are varied, musical and memorable. If you haven't heard this album because jazz is not your thing, it's a good bet you'll enjoy the record. |
@reubent Great Deal! Clearly Half Price Books has a chain-wide manual on how to make the chase difficult. But, I'm with you...in there hunting for gold that other people don't value. Makes my head hurt that the current music buying model is to pay $1.29 for one digital song download when a kid (or an adult) can own the whole record, whether CD or LP, in many cases for 20-60 cents a song, and sometimes less. Of course, there is the problem of the newest music model where the buyer never owns any music but simply listens to it via a subscription of some kind. |
@astewart8944 - I just picked up my copy of "City to City" at my local record store - Everybody's Records last weekend for $3.99 and its a really clean, solid NM with an NM cover. What a steal!
I've found some great stuff for great prices at Half Price Books. I just wish they were organized better. At my local store they do not separate new and used and they do not alphabetize them or categorize them. You have to look through the whole section every time. But it's still worth it to go there...... |
