The Marshall Tucker Band. Toy Caldwell (RIP) is still the best guitarist I ever got to see.

My bother-in-law and I listened to a greatest hits compendium on the way skiing this week- must have played Fire on the Mountain a half dozen times.

 

Brothers were NOT afraid to rock the jazz flute a la Rin Burgundy either! ;)

Watching the last bit of Heartbreak Ridge on TV in the background right now while dinner's cooking, having watched In Harm's Way earlier today. Both are pretty good, despite the cliches. :)

The folky stuff got me remembering Sandy Denny. I remember I listened to her lots. I had bought an album, never heard of her before, and loved it. Wish I could remember what album. Some history and tunes at the following link, her life cut short at age 31. Remembering you Sandy Denny. Love your voice still as I listen to it online :)

It's Allison Krauss, not Sandy Denny, but it's still good.

 

 

I wish I'd seen them on the Raising Sand tour.

Oh gawd, now you have me off on a trip here DB. After listening to that song by Allison Krause I looked up and have been listenig to the Carter Family and then found this old timey song and video .... all reminds me of music of childhood that I sang along to all through growing up, and so did everyone else ... but this one especially reminded me of Mom's yodelling, which she loved yodelling and was great at. Fun stuff. This video is cool. I really like the guys voice/singing.

 

 

Its a joy to me that my youngest loves all kinds of music, always has ... taste everything :)

I caught this show in Vegas some years ago, and they are the most entertaining act I've seen since Hendrix...

 

Pity there isn't more footage of the "dancing statues", which sat static on the stage for most of the show (with everybody wondering what they were going to do). Had a second row seat and a fantastic time.

 

They do a heckofva' version of Baba O'Reily, too. Who else would turn a grand piano on it's side and whack it?

 

Baba O' Riley

I'm putting Thick as a Brick in the CD player. It works out that I can hear the entire album in my round trip to the train. Jethro Tull provides excellent stimulus when driving.

Pandora has seen fit to serve up Eviction Article by Boy Sets Fire. http://tinyurl.com/yjhkoer

 

This is why:

 

hard rock roots

a subtle use of vocal harmony

repetitive melodic phrasing

demanding instrumental part writing

minor key tonality

a vocal-centric aesthetic

heavy electric rhythm guitars

an aggressive male vocalist

political lyrics

 

Teach me to click the like button for a Danzig song in a station based on the Clash.

Django again ;) Last night? surfing through channels I came a cross note of a program about to start called "Djangomania" which had a lot of interesting information about Django Reinhardt and his rather short life that I never knew about before. I first heard his music a couple of decades ago, but never anything about his life story. The program talks about Gypsies history as well ... and of course Djangomania ;)

Found this on youtube ;) I was looking for myself googling thick as a brick but couldn't find me mentioned so opted for having a listen to Jethro Tull :D

Now I gotta' put in a word for the band who lost a key songwriter before it ever hit the streets.....almost a '60's sound.

 

 

Catchy, I'd never heard it before....reminds me a bit of Brewer & Shipley's One Toke Over the Line.

 

 

 

 

 

And a highly under-rated band (even if Furay, Messina and Meissner had established cred)

 

Mighty nice gal in the video, too. ;)

 

Poco! I hadn't thought of them in years.

The world would be a lot poorer if we'd never had Billy Gibbons.

 

Used to be a great live version on YT, but it got pulled.

 

BJB's

 

Billy Gibbons is IMHO, simply the best guitarist ever. It's too bad that ZZTop evolved into a novelty act.

 

I can't find it on YouTube, but Gov't Mule did a killer version of Jesus Left Chicago

Post wrong (but good) links. I posted "Lake Shore Drive" by Alliota, Haynes and Jeremiah. Meant to post...

 

 

My boo-boo.

Someone finally posted it...

 

"Sweet Jane" by Mott The Hoople. So unlike the Cowboy Junkies song, but about 15 years sooner. Rocks out at the end. My favorite version...

Ah .... just beeeee-eautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

 

Isaac Stern plays Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto- Allegro

 

More violin, but this time jazzy style ... doing one of my all time favorite songs. I love how this one is done and sounds ... hope you do too.
