@noromance hey, Roy puts me in mind of Al Stewart. Never heard but, is there any connection there? |
@noromance yes. I streamed a couple of Roy’s albums this afternoon and evening outside by the fire pit and had myself one of those strange experiences listening to music you’ve pretty sure you’ve never heard before but somehow reaches down into the recesses of memory and familiarity. Not exactly Deja vu, just digging it. Anyway, listened to “collection “ and his Folkjokeopus, which, you gotta admit sounds a lot like al in his early days before he started coming over here with his more commercial offerings. Anyway, great stuff. Thanks for the inspiration.

recorded at Muscle Shoals and it’s definitely atmospheric. Pregame! Got a ticket to see his show tonight at the ancient but recently revived Alberta Rose. Most excellent small venue. Maybe he’ll sign my record.... |

@slaw right on! Undiscovered gem in the Lips catalogue? Hey, I saw today there is a new Fruit Bats record coming out. Still haven’t heard anything about a follow up to Bonny Light Horsemen though. |

Hey Steve, how you doing?
My wife was hit pretty hard after the 1st injection. It took awhile for the bad stuff to kick in though.

@geof3 +1. I’m looking forward to the Moving Pictures package, wondering what will be in it. |
Great stack there @Mammothguy54! Dave Mason is popular with quite a few members here and he is sure one of my favorites. I’ve seen him live a few times in very different phases modes and settings. I have 2 Spirit records and love them. Never got to see them live though, a little before my time I guess.

I don’t know much at all about that scene (have some nick drake of course) and aside from my two oldest friends and myself don’t know anybody who owns or has even heard, let alone likes, early al Stewart. When I got to college and put on bed-sitter images, et. al. they’d come by my dorm room and make barfing noises.
Anyway, thanks for turning me on to Roy’s music. I hope I didn’t give the impression that I think his work is derivative of Al’s. Maybe just appealing to me in a similar way. I’m almost old enough to appreciate the context and have always liked this kind of thing (vs. more pop stuff). Roy seems to have a lot of integrity and well respected musician friends. Maybe he held out against commercialism and didn’t get to be so well known. That would sure be admirable to me. Will check out the other suggestions of your favorites of his when I’m in a sufficiently folky mood swing. |

@slaw Hope you enjoy it. I think Brian might actually have been the first to post on here about that record. It was awhile ago. That record will definitely get your foot tapping. |

@bkeske, Thanks Brian. That is the kind of knowledge I want to gain and sift through before buying records. I guess maybe you guys are rubbing off on me and I’m getting more picky. Definitely more focused these days on getting the best sounding version of good music rather than the most expedient alternative.
And, Speaking of CBS Records Masterworks...

Yeah, there are exceptions of course. A lot of pricing factors but limited supply is not always largest. It’s interesting to me that it seems like some records are just more treasured for their content - music and SQ. |
