Whats on your turntable tonight?

@bslon i agree wholeheartedly on "jack johnson"--it's his best work (tho i'm sometimes partial to bitches brew) and much more engaging than "kind of blue", which sounds oddly tame after all these years

@bdp24 what i like about rusty young's pedal steel is that it doesn''t sound a pedal steel, especially live--at various times it sounds closer to a hammond organ or almost like heavy metal

my pick for the day: greg sage, straight ahead--ex-wipers doing a freakyfolk thing, with simple, impressionistic tunes that stay oddly embedded in your brain

I'd say metal @loomisjohnson . Rusty used a LOT of distortion, via pedals not tube over-drive. He wasn't a tradition purist.

There's nothing like a great drum solo.
