Whats on your turntable tonight?

Whenever I play EC, JJ ain’t never far behind....

EC and JJ Cale - The Road to Escondido 

I know this road thru Rancho Santa Fe, like the back of my hand.... always looking for the boys on a dusty turn out....,

The Teskey Brothers
Run Home Slow

Demon Fuzz
Afrika!

Circa Survive
The Amulet

Demon Fuzz - Has many cross over sounds of Chicken Shack, Cream, Nice and a King Crimsom genre. This is reminiscent of the late 60's music that didn't take off like the Haight- Asbury music explosion. This is what the sounds were in the out of the way clubs that still had Arthur Brown and many pre early genesis roll outs sounds dominating the music.

Right on Waters. I can’t very easily make this record fit into a context, in that although its seems to have elements of the nascent prog and jazz rock of the late 60’s it seems very unique and for sure way ahead of its time. I don’t know enough about all this because I hadn’t found it yet during the time it was actually happening - I got into it much later and am only beginning to learn about a lot of the bands that you already have in your collection (you are my hard rock hero bro) but I love this record for so many reasons. I love that it’s Africans playing it, frankly. I love the Arabic influences that put me in mind of later ECM stuff like Oregon. And most importantly: It rocks. It’s like a really good trip (as they used to say).
