Dang, this is where the cool kids hang out. I’ve always liked Son Volt more than Wilco, both in songwriting and singing. But they’re both worth listening to of course. If you haven’t heard them yet guys, give The Continental Drifters a listen. It’s Peter Holsapple from the great dB’s, Carlo Nuccio, an incredible drummer and singer, Mark Walton from Green On Red (a jerk---I knew him in L.A. But hey, he's only the bass player ;-), Vicki Petersen from The Bangles, Susan Cowsill, and some guitarists. They had a residency in the basement of an old hotel on Hollywood Blvd. in the early 90’s, putting on legendarily great shows. Get the "Drifted: In the Beginning and Beyond" double album.
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.
This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

I go through phases where I desire to listen to as much by Golden Earring as possible. They have so much music and talent, IMHO. Today as I was milling around the house, I played The Continuing Story Of Radar Love- twice. And I played the song "Going To The Run"- twice also. It never gets old for me. Highly recommended band with a history longer than the Rolling Stones. https://youtu.be/DbVseptvnz8 N |
Speaking of Danny Kirwin.....I love, love, love Fleetwood Mac’s Kiln House album. It came out around the same time as Moby Grape’s 20 Granite Creek, which I love in the same way. The both have a relaxed, easy-going (not "trying too hard") roots Rock ’n’ Roll 50’s feel and sound, a favorite period of mine. Where hillbilly and citybilly meet. Not many Brits pull it off well, but that FM line-up got it just right. |
