What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles?
Ted Russell Kamp. An example of his music, which is mostly in the country, Southern rock, and Americana genres: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nvUoT0HnPM One wouldn’t necessarily guess from his music that he grew up in an affluent suburb of New York City. Regards, -- Al |
My meaning of being "selective" when it comes to music is purely about your personal music budget. We all have our own ideas on what the proper balance is between our equipment budget versus our music budget. Having been a former "collector" myself, I got cured from that because I was tired of the "comepletist syndrome." Once cured from that, I had more to budget towards the equipment, which I think is almost as important as the music (because it enhances the musical experience). I realize that audiophiles are often stereotyped as being elitist or narrow minded; so, I'm hoping that some of these posts about your rare musical finds will prove that theory to be wrong. |
I'm not really sure how "rare" these are but a few gems come to mind: Clem Snide Forest For The Trees The White Fronts Disco Biscuits moe. Jason Molina Kiln LOW Bardo Pond All of the above are different variations of "rock-type" bands. I'm travelling this week so I'm not able to reference my collection. If this is what you're looking for, I'll add some more next week. |
@ Three_Easy_Payments Thanks for the Kikagaku Moyo suggestion. I listened to their latest release "Masana Temples" and it was very interesting. I'll certainly check out the rest of their stuff. Since you're a Crack The Sky fan, do you know about the double live acoustic release of theirs called "For Catherine?" It is essentially a band sanctioned bootleg of a show that they did in 2008 to raise money for a cystic fibrosis charity. It's an excellent recording with a great set list! |
@mitchagain I had no idea Crack The Sky had been playing at all recently in the last decade but after googling now I see they've been active and even putting out new albums in 2018. That's crazy. I haven't lived in the Balto area for over 25 years but before leaving I recall going to see Carey Ziegler (occasional CTS bass player in the 80s) playing several times in tiny venues with Paul Reed Smith (of Annapolis guitar maker fame) in a fun side project (really just fun) called Band of a Thousand Names. Glad you found Kikagaku Moyo interesting! I'm always on the hunt for an original sound. |
