Whats playing on your system today?

Hey, Slaw - my pleasure.

Been watching your various music posts for a while now. I’m struck by how often you will post a title or artist that’s personally well-regarded. (And not talking the same old, same old.) Similar tastes maybe. Saw your mention of Gillian Welch’s "The Harrowing". Are you familiar with the Dave Rawlings Machine? Love the cover photo of "Nashville Obsolete".

@bdp24 - I really like Buddy Miller. Based on your recommendation, I've order the Buddy and Julie Miller -S/T CD. Should have it in a couple of days. I'll let you know how I like it.

Too bad I didn't see your post about their 2009 release before I purchased the S/T CD. Would have rather ordered the newer record on Vinyl. Anyway, if I like the S/T recording, I'll probably pick up the LP too....

Great, reubent. I see the Written In Chalk LP in your future! The two Buddy & Julie albums are of a piece, the same but different, like The Band’s 1st and 2nd albums. Buddy’s guitar song parts and little solos are SO cool, and his production SO hip. He sometimes employs frequency filtering, severe compression (the good kind ;-), and other engineering tricks to give a song an old-time 50’s or 60’s sound and feel, particularly in the Stax Records style. Very Southern, very rural, very Rootsy, really cool.

OK Guys, for you fans of Alt-Country/Americana I’m going to recommend a recording I’ve recommended a few times in the past. I believe this recorded was recommended here on AudiogoN several years ago, but I don’t remember who originally recommended it. Whoever it was, I thank you. It’s a wonderful recording.

Here goes: Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez - "Live at the Ruhr Triennale". This is a fantastic recording by a couple of great artist, plus the band is really an All-Star Band. For anyone that doesn’t know Chip Taylor, he is the writer of both "Angel of the Morning" and "Wild Thing". He’s also the brother or Jon Voight. The aging Chip Taylor, and the very young Carrie Rodriguez (at the time of this recording) make great music together here. And the band is incredible - Bill Frisell, Greg Leisz, David Piltch, Kenny Wollesen and a special guest appearance by Buddy Miller.

This is playing on my system right now and I’m enjoying the crap out of it........

@ghosthouse ,

I actually have "Poor David’s Almanac" (lp) coming in soon.

@reubent,

Sounds like a good one!
