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".

Victoria Williams' "Sweet Relief" benefit compilation. There are some great covers of Vic’s songs, by some great artist, on this CD.
Takeshi Nishimoto - "Lavandula"

Generally not a big fan of solo acoustic anything but this recording seems the exception to the rule.  Solo acoustic guitar nicely seasoned with subtle touches of electronica.  Excellent sonics, sumptuous guitar textures.  The compositions bear repeated listening.
Linda Ronstant/Heart Like A Wheel, David Bowie/Lets Dance and then Branford Marsalis/Treo Jeepy
Takeshi Nishimoto - "Lavandula"

Generally not a big fan of solo acoustic anything but this recording seems the exception to the rule. Solo acoustic guitar nicely seasoned with subtle touches of electronica. Excellent sonics, sumptuous guitar textures. The compositions bear repeated listening.
The Jayhawks - "Hollywood Town Hall". Monster albums. Really fantastic stuff IMHO. One of the best from the early '90's. Helped put Americana on the map and helped bring the genre to my attention. Was lucky to see them back in the day. Great band....


@reubent

Hollywood Town Hall is an excellent record; I agree! And great band as well.
It was spelt differently a few comments prior, and I thought some readers might prefer the correct spelling.
It was spelled incorrectly a few posts earlier.  Pardon the typo...can't really blame it on dyslexia.
Michael Coulon - Crossing Paths

Ben Harper - The Will To Live (I'd forgotten how good this one is, both music and SQ.)

Richard Buckner - Since  (I'd forgotten how good this one is too, both music and SQ.)

Richard Buckner - Devotion + Doubt

In my transport is Al Di Meola 'Orange and Blue'. Check it out if you like Al.

@tomic601 

You are very welcome (speaking for all, if I may).  Glad you are finding new music here.  Obviously, this isn't the only thread that'll help in that regard.  Nutty's "What's playing on your system today?" is another good one.  

How are you liking that McVie/Buckingham album?  Haven't checked that out yet. 
ghosthouse

giving it mixed review so far..has the bright guitar in your face sonic fingerprint of Buckingham...dont hear the moody blues genious of Christine at work enough...
lead off track hints at the brilliance of better Fleetwood Mac
but as Tom Petty sang
” the A&R man dont hear a single

i need to keep playing it tho....
@tomic601

Okay...I hear you on the LB/CM. I like Lindsey’s guitar playing in FWM, though I tend to prefer the older FWM of Peter Green or with Bob Welch (esp. Penguin & Mystery to Me). Not a huge fan of Lindsey solo...have only Out of the Cradle. Maybe, left alone, he is too perfectionistic and overworks stuff, squeezing the life out of it. Not sure. Definitely talented but not a lot of depth for me.

@toddverrone
You can thank Spotify Browse/Discover for that one, Todd. It was a Spotify recommendation. Took a little bit to hook me. First time (first couple, maybe) I didn’t really "get it" - but kept coming back anyway... being drawn back. It’s definitely a gem. He’s in a duo worth checking out but a totally different sound than that solo album: "I'm Not a Gun". Glad somebody else likes Lavandula.

oh man the Lavandula is fantastic.....streamer down so i just went thru a bunch of his stuff via utube.....
ya man

Wearing out the musicbank on the Mac

Christine Perfect: the Complete Blue Horizon Sessions
Chris Hillman: Biding My Time
Stills & Collins: Everybody Knows
Neil Young: Hitchiker
Alison Krauss: New Favorite

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, S/T. 1976
"American Girl" which closes out the disc, has in the 40 years since become a classic-rock radio staple. The song updates the idea of American Folk, incorporating rock’s muscle and swagger even as Petty’s lyrics keep it utterly grounded in workday humanity.

More Tom P. and the Heartbreakers,
"Refugee"
"Free Fallin’"
"I Won’t Back Down"

I really, really liked Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. At first. But there was something about them, or more correctly, about him, that didn't wear well with me. I at first just lost interest, eventually coming to actually dislike him. I know a lot of others still like him, and I appreciate that.

But I was in my favorite Portland record store yesterday, and out of their system came a sound I recognized, a sound I love; it was The Dwight Twilley Band, a long-time favorite of mine. Wait a minute, no it's not. It's Dwight singing backgrounds on "Strangered In The Night", a song on the first TP & THB album. Now THAT'S more like it! Everyone who has and likes that album, give a listen to "SITN". See how much better that song is than the others on the album? Now, go and buy the first Dwight Twilley Band album, Sincerely. Prepare to be blown away! 

Guns N’ Roses, Chinese Democracy.
If youve not heard "If the World", I think its one of their best tracks.
