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?

Gosh, I like Karen’t voice, Nutty. Back when they were on the radio all the time, 2/3rds of a lifetime ago, I really looked down on what they did. Looking back, what did I know? Get past the cultural baggage of the day...they knew how to pick some great songs. Did you realize "Superstar" (one of my favorites done by them) was written by Leon Russell along with Bonnie and Delaney Bramlett. Who knew!? Just read that in Wikipedia. Your other pick there, Toto...more excellent musicianship and song writing. Toto IV is one of their best I think. Less middle of the road and not as mainstream commercial as The Carpenters, perhaps (a good thing!) - but not Captain Beefheart either. Had some money making legs on it. But right this minute, Mr. Satriani is entertaining an audience of one. Just completed Crystal Planet and now Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards is up. Track 4 here...Sounds good LOUD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2zjKYJHQnQ |
ghosthouse Thanks for dropping that very thorough musical perspective! The Carpenters disc’(s) I spun didn’t have "Superstar" on them so I had to go find it. Wonderful song! There actually my wife’s collection. A beautiful voice and tragic story. Though only Redbook and not the best recordings, but her voice sounds amazing on the Forest Signatures! Re Toto, I really like a lot of their music. Hydra has some great songs also. "Mama" "White Sister". And I agree, Toto IV was snappy! I’m all over the map today. Right now, Cheap Trick, Heaven Tonight N |
