Whats playing on your system today?

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?

On Tap for today. Ian Moore. I really like a lot of his music. He's great live as well. I saw him many years ago in Cincinnati. He has a lot of great music.

Check out "Ian Moore and all the colors" (2000). The song "Magdalena" is great. 
And my personal favorite song from "Ian Moore" (1993) "How does it feel"? 

Let me know what you think.

If you're interested in checking out Tommy Bolin, don't miss James Gang "Bang".

Today I listened to New York Rock Ensemble, "Roll Over" and "Freedomburger".  Terrific.

Hey there 77...will do.  I'm a fan of James Gang...well at least while Joe Walsh was there.  Don't know them after Thirds.

I've always been a Trower and R Montrose fan. I buy only vinyl and admit I haven't bought any Trower since "Seven Moons". I've always loved the James Dewar era best.

In order to join in here, I'll offer up a couple that rock in a different way and may be under the radar.

The Russian Wilds "Howlin' Rain"
Elephant Stone "S/T"

"Thirds" is under-appreciated, in my view.  James Gang tried to find a new identity after "Thirds", when Joe Walsh left.  They added Dominic Troiano on guitar and Roy Kenner on vocals for two albums that were merely OK, and not essential listening.  But then they re-emerged with Tommy Bolin adding searing guitar and some pretty good tunes.  Two albums, "Bang" and "Miami" resulted.  "Bang" is the better of the two, but "Miami" is good, too.

(Dominic Troiano also stepped into the Guess Who after Randy Bachman's departure, incidentally, but GW's post-Randy albums were not their best,either).

If you find you enjoy Tommy Bolin, you might search out Billy Cobham's "Spectrum", an interesting jazz-rock-fusion collaboration.

And, if you fancy Joe Walsh, don't miss his first solo album, "Barnstorm".
