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?

I downloaded the Continental Drifters, "Vermillion" last night. Listened this morning. I like it a lot. Going to give it a few more spins over the next few days.

Also this morning...Ambrosia, "One Eighty ".

Bdp,

A little free association here: Will Rigby.........Amy Rigby.

Will Rigby's ex-wife Amy Rigby is a wonderful performer in her own right (as well as in her duo with Don Dixon's wife, Marti Jones (who, incidentally, sings like an angel)).   Amy always shares a little aphorism in her concert between-song patter (and its one that I'm sure you know): The drummer is the one guy in the band that never gets laid.

She follows that with one of her best original tunes: "Tonight, I'm Gonna Give The Drummer Some".
Love the Continental Drifters, DBs, Don Dixon, Golden Palominos, et al. I associate Mitch Easter's Let's Active and early REM with that genre as well as the Connells, Guadalcanal diary, the Jayhawks (who have a new one out) because of the vocals, and for pure garage jangle fun, the Tim Lee 3.  Tim Lee was part of the Windbreakers from that era and has a trio with his wife. Their latest "33 1/3 " is worth a spin.
In a completely different style, now that Spring is in the air, I have been enjoying Stick Figure's "Set in Stone" which is a west coast stoner reggae outfit along the lines of Sublime and Slightly Stoopid. Check out "Fire on the Horizon" on youtube. Nice background music for margaritas by the pool. Sounds great on my system too.
Man, you guys are talking my language! Lots of great people listed here, particularly Don Dixon and Marti Jones, whom I love. I view Buddy and Julie Miller as the new Don & Marti---great songs, singing, playing, and production. Their music makes me happy. And hey, I got my fair share; it's bass players who don't get much ;-).
