What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

@reubent

Thanks for the recommendation. I do tend to notice your input here and over on Nutty’s thread. I will check out Straightaways. I like (some) Americana though I probably have a limited range of appreciation...The Band and Levon Helm mostly. Not entirely sure they’re Americana (as opposed to Goth-Country!) but if you don’t know him/them, you might want to check out the Dave Rawlings Machine (a totally misleading name) and also his partner and significant other Gillian Welch. Again, not sure if these are Americana but you be the judge.

For Loomis’ benefit, Son Volt’s cover of Ron Wood’s Mystify was more appealing to me than the original. More carefully rendered which I get wasn’t necessarily RW’s intent.

Dang, this is where the cool kids hang out. I’ve always liked Son Volt more than Wilco, both in songwriting and singing. But they’re both worth listening to of course. If you haven’t heard them yet guys, give The Continental Drifters a listen. It’s Peter Holsapple from the great dB’s, Carlo Nuccio, an incredible drummer and singer, Mark Walton from Green On Red (a jerk---I knew him in L.A. But hey, he's only the bass player ;-), Vicki Petersen from The Bangles, Susan Cowsill, and some guitarists. They had a residency in the basement of an old hotel on Hollywood Blvd. in the early 90’s, putting on legendarily great shows. Get the "Drifted: In the Beginning and Beyond" double album.

@bdp24 - " I’ve always liked Son Volt more than Wilco"

What he said! I'm more of a melody kind of guy and I find Son Volt much more to my liking than I do Wilco. 

I go through phases where I desire to listen to as much by Golden Earring as possible. They have so much music and talent, IMHO.
Today as I was milling around the house, I played The Continuing Story Of Radar Love- twice. And I played the song  "Going To The Run"- twice also. It never gets old for me. Highly recommended band with a history longer than the Rolling Stones.

Speaking of Danny Kirwin.....I love, love, love Fleetwood Mac’s Kiln House album. It came out around the same time as Moby Grape’s 20 Granite Creek, which I love in the same way. The both have a relaxed, easy-going (not "trying too hard") roots Rock ’n’ Roll 50’s feel and sound, a favorite period of mine. Where hillbilly and citybilly meet. Not many Brits pull it off well, but that FM line-up got it just right.
