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?

ghosthouse, 

Listened to KWS. It's a great listen. Going to add it to my collection. I agree that Ledbetter Heights may have a slight edge but Kenny's playing is amazing. I need to more of his 

Ian Siegel is up next. I'll let you know.

Hello again, Nutty.  Glad you enjoyed "Trouble Is".  I especially like Blue on Black (track 3).  You are right, Kenny was all of 18 when he recorded Ledbetter Heights.  

Saw your note over on The Minority Report about Joanna Shaw Taylor.  Spotify has a couple LPs by here including, "The Dirty Truth" and "White Sugar".  I will definitely give a listen. 

Real interested what you think about Ian Siegel.  To me he's another good musician flying under the radar.  Leastways it seems so to me.  On the other hand, I don't listen to commercial radio or watch TV much anymore.  I tend to find things based on recommendations on threads like this or stumble across them looking at the Browse/Discover options on Spotify or hearing a track on Pandora.  Something new and good to me might have been out there 10 years before I find it.  Guess you could say I have turned off, tuned out, and dropped in(to a black hole).

BTW - right now listening to something totally different than what we've been discussing: the 3rd LP from Bersarin Quartett, called III.  His stuff (BQ is mainly one guy) is variously described as modern composition and dark ambient. 

Alright.  Later.
Got Joanne Shaw Taylor playing.  White Sugar.  Couple of tracks in.  Liking it. Her playing is economical with good tone.  Somewhat understated (not necessarily a bad thing).  Her band is good too,  Tight.  Crisp.  Drummer's right on top of the beat.  Just 3 tracks in but the songs are strong.  Good sonics in this recording too.  Never would a guessed her for a Brit.  Thanks for the tip, N.
ghosthouse,

I agred with your assessment on Joanne Shaw Taylor's playing being somewhat economical on her albumns/CD. However I suggest viewing this link to see her at full tilt.

The FabulousThunderbirds, Tuff Enough. 
The Vaughan Brothers, Family style.
Oh Stevie and Jimmy....

Lenny Kravitz, "5." full CD. Very well recorded.
Also Lenny, songs "It's not over till its over", "Are you gonna go my way", aslo recorded well.

New Robin Trower, again. Robins guitar sounds as good as ever.

Going in for AC/DC, Highway to Hell, the guitar work on "Night Prowler" is epic.
