What's your latest "Discovery"
jonathan byrd and dromedary "the sea and the sky" maybe it's just me, but this is quite simply an excellent acoustic work on all counts--songwriting, storytelling, musicianship etc.....a real depth and breadth that seems to reveal something new with each listen. his (mr. byrd's) first two releases are pretty good, but this collaborative effort just hits it out of the park.... |
Some good friends invited me to see an outdoor performance by Kelly Joe Phelps. Since then his solo acoustic CD's have been making the frequent rotation on my player. Hot damn this guy has a way with the slide guitar! Raspy voice and down-home honest lyrics that touch the soul. My kind'of artist. Highly recommended if you are a fan of folk, blues, guitar, slide guitar. The three CD's in my order of preference (though they're all great) are: "Shine-eyed Mr. Zen", "Lead Me On" and "Roll Away the Stone". Can any fans comment on his other more recent albums, or offer further recommendations? Marco |
Howard (Boa2), that looks like a great recommendation. Any good suggestions where to get it? (Amazon did not come up with it.) Looking for the album, I found the following interesting review Saxophones I am not familiar with Pierre Favre, but I love the tuba player, Michel Godard, or at least what he does on Rabih Abou Khalil "Sultan's Picnic". I certainly have to check this one out. Nice. |
