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?

My Roon/HQPlayer/Tidal hookup hiccuped and my queue went away as track and track attempted to play and disappeared. Had to Force Quit Roon and restart the MacMini. I took this to mean the audio gods felt that Steely Dan had been played enough on my system. (It is also atypical for my setup; Roon w/ Tidal are consistently reliable players for me. But HQPlayer upsampling to DSD can use alot - ALOT! - of CPU resources.)

So I listened to Steve Gunn’s Time Off and the few tracks from his new album via Tidal, an EP called Ancient Jules. Under-acclaimed guitarist-songwriter in my opinion.

@ghosthouse I found Don "Sugarcane" Harris on Tidal but most of his work is embargoed for me here in USA. Thank goodness for YouTube and the HDMI output of my MacMini so I was able to listen to "Liz Pineapple Wonderful", "Sugarcane’s Got The Blues", "Song For My Father", and some others whose names fell off the screen. Wow. Time to research acquiring my own copies of his music. At certain moments, I had this weird expectation the song would transition into "Orange Blossom Special" but that’s just me conceptualizing the unfamiliar into the familiar. Thanks for the heads up on this artist.

@ghosthouse I have to followup and say that Don "Sugarcane" Harris' version of Eleanor Rigby simply rocks it. Tidal has his "Essential Blues Masters" album and I forgot it was still in my Roon queue. There are songs that simply deserve to not be any shorter than 11:52. His Eleanor Rigby is one. Thanks again.
@dbtom2  &  @nutty - so glad you like Sugarcane.  Privileged to make the introduction.  Wish he got more love when he was alive.  He was around a lot of years.  Paid his dues.  Like Jean Luc he played with Zappa.  In fact, Zappa sort of "rescued" him from time to time you might say...bailed him out; got his violin out of hoc; memory of the details is a little blurry but you can read about it.

If you can handle Zappa, check out Burnt Weeny Sandwich and Little House I Used to Live In.  Great live improvisation track starts at 19:13 on link here; Harris' solo starts at 24:28.  It soars.

db, the Eleanor Rigby you are enjoying is from Fiddler On The Rock.  

Sugar Cane's Got the Blues is very good...maybe better than Fiddler.

The Sugar Cane album that really does it for me is, "Keyzop".  Full album at the link here.  Hope you will enjoy it.
