| I'm listening to Curtis Mayfield's greatest hits. If you can sit still during Move on Up, lay down, you're probably dead.
I have hndreds of favorite artists and recordings, but I'm always looking to hear something new and excting. What do you like? All genre are welcome.

| BTW - By 'new' I mean something new to me... When it was recorded is irrelevant.

| Funny you should mention SRV, Derrick! Between my guitarist and I, we have almost every cd and DVD known to exist, both record label and bootleg. The live material, prior to detox and Reese Wynans, is by far the best. El Mocambo and Montreux are exceptional.

ps: Gene, sorry to commandeer your post like this, but... well, it's inevitable, right!

| Meshuggah is the band. Start out with the "Nothing" album. If you make it through that then try out "Destroy Erase Improve". By far the best metal drummer I've heard since The Dillinger Escape Plan (another phenomenal group, try out "Miss Machine"). If you like odd time sigs and crazy poly patterns then you will enjoy Meshuggah. We're talking 2 or 3 time sigs for the drummer at once while the guitar and bass play in a 4th. The singer sux but most metal singers do. Just have to listen past him. It's definitely not for everyone.
+1 for Charlie Hunter too

| Some musicians should never be allowed to record in the studio. Two cases in point: Marcia Ball and Kelly Hunt. I had a major celebration when Marcia Ball released her Down the Road live CD a couple of years ago. Some artists are just an entirely different and immeasurably better experience live. Lesser known is Kelly Hunt who shares piano playing chops with Ball. She has a few studio albums, but the live album Inspiration is an incredible blues performance. Her studio stuff is just okay by comparison. Both of them should play more solo piano on their recordings. Sorry, but I don't have much to say about the drumming except workmanlike, but maybe (or probably) my ears are not yet as perceptive as they should be. - Al

Updated on 8/9/2007 7:01:19 PM There's an old Frank Zappa album, Shut up and Play Yer Guitar. The same could apply to Ball, Hunt and their pianos. Not that I don't like their singing, I just want to hear more piano.
Updated on 8/9/2007 8:29:35 PM But I'm gnit-picking guys; it's great music. - Al | | Message posted 483 days ago | IP Logged |
