Allman, Clapton, and Simon

Well, ever since my mid-1970's high school days, I've always been a big fan of Greg Allman, Eric Clapton, and Paul Simon. So, naturally, now that I'm a 55 yr. old music lover, who's still a big fan of these three great musicians, I recently bought each of their new albums (errr... excuse me, ... CD's) All I can say is WOW !!! These three guys are still writing great songs and still singing sweet music. Bravo, and thanks for still doing your thing, boys. You're all to be commended. You're still proving to be the cream of the crop.

Picked up Greg Allman's Low Country Blues from the library. Gave it a spin and returned it. Didn;t even bother to burn it.

Picked up Paul Simon;s new one too. Burned that one. My only complaint is that it is way over compressed, especially the first track. My ears hurt from the suckout as the guitar and bass drum sound together to make that rythm. Good songs though, but compromised non "audiophile" sound.

Need to check out Clapton and Robbies newest stuff.

I got Greg Allman's Low Country album and was very disappointed and just put it away. At some point I read a positive review or heard a song from it, something that made me give it another chance. I listened to it and really like it now. I believe it was just my expectations of it that were out of line for what it was, I guess I was expecting Enlightened Rogues revisited or something IDK. But I think it's pretty darn good now.

Low country is a great album. I think it sounds good too, it has an old fashioned bottom end to go with the old blues songs. it's not supposed to sound like modern compressed, bright albums. it's blues not blues rock.
