Whats on your turntable tonight?

@slaw +1 on Ryan Adams.  Don’t have that one though.  How does it compare?

@tubegb great to hear from you again.  Really like your music selections.  Hope we hear from you more on this thread.

@spiritofradio... did you see the article on Neil Peart in Rolling Stone? Excellent, sad, enlightening. Being a drummer Neil/Rush has been a major part of my life since I was a teenager…

I did not see it but will look it up today.  Although,,,,, I don’t have much respect for Rolling Stone - sometimes its interesting I guess to hear what they think.  Subscribed all through the 80’s and early 90’s but I just so often absolutely disagreed with their music reviews, both positive and negative, over the years that I pretty much revile that publication.  They’ve changed in more recent years, obviously, but it’s hard to change a grumpy old guy’s opinion…..  anyway, cool that you’re a drummer and into Peart.  He’s my favorite drummer.

All Ryan Adams lps are great!

@bkeske, @bdp24 , @slaw,  I love Gilded Palace of Sin and Sweetheart of the Rodeo, I have them on PP and they sound fine. I’ll probably get that new GPOS (Thanks for the head’s up @bdp24 ) because my old one is pretty noisy.   Although, speaking only for myself of course, I really don’t really think “audiophile” considerations are the most important things about Country Rock.  Way down the list actually.  And it can make guys like us who are semi-obsessed with SQ seem particularly weird. Maybe that’s inevitable…. 

 I think I posted something awhile back about how truly crazy it is that we can sometimes concentrate on Country Rock as if it were Chopin or something.  Maybe sort of like buying $350 Elton John hot stampers or super expensive Supertramp re-issues.  Nothing wrong with these things of course, but to me kind of silly.

Sometimes when I listen to my High School and College era Eagles, Poco, Commander Cody, FBB, SoftheR, even Magnetic South, et. al. I can absolutely tear up with nostalgia.  It’s music of a time and place.  

Funny though, I do think that some records in the genre, maybe by Neil Young or say, Jackson Browne, are definitely worth throwing money at SQ.  So, I suppose I’m pretty flaky.

I guess I should have known you’d say that.  Will check it out.

BTW, I think I have to (gently and respectfully) disagree.  During the Napster era I downloaded his entire catalogue, including the output of all those different projects and I have to say although there has rarely been anybody so prolific it is a little uneven at times.  I suppose that it didn’t all make it to vinyl.  Should take that into consideration.
