Do we have any Joann Shaw Taylor fans? The blues oozes out of her. Toured with Bonamossa and Glenn Hughes in the past. She plays a mean guitar.

She is in the US and played in Louisville, Ky last Friday. She is going to performing at the Miami Valley Gaming Cassino Saturday evening. The Cassino is located near Lebanon, OH. FREE ADMISSION and is scheduled to begin at 9:00 pm. on the main stage. Here White Sugar disc is very good.

Yes Nutty you do!

I do not own any of her music so only stream it so posted over on my streaming thread.

She certainly rocks, quite addictive really, sort of a more raw Melissa Etheridge imho

Pere Ubu / Pennsylvania 

I'm listening to Northern Soul / various artists.From the uk.Could i just ask as most of this music is from U.S.A.Is there any northern soul events there like there is here.

I just bought a new integrated tube amp, Cayin A88T, so out come the set of music to see what it can do:

1. Cassandra Wilson, Blue Light Til Dawn (CD) (her voice better be right, and strong bass)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Light_%27til_Dawn

2. Guitar Trio, Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin & Paco de Lucía (LP and CD)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X7V0yAofeU

3 different types of strings and types of guitars to hear and hear if the channel balance is right by awesome imaging of the 3 (or not). This really helps you set up your system, especially if you have tone controls involved, and, the wonderful McIntosh mode control allowing stereo reverse, mono, left to ... is always a great help.

3. Oscar Peterson, The Way I Really Play (SACD)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Way_I_Really_Play

4. Blue Nile, Walk Across the Rooftops (Original Linn's recording to demo superior LP sound)
https://www.discogs.com/artist/22485-The-Blue-Nile

5. Sade, Soldier of Love (CD)
https://www.google.com/search?q=sade+soldier+of+love&oq=sade%2C+soldier&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.7716j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8


Happily, the amp passed all tests. It is switchable, Triode, or Ultralinear. So far I prefer Ultralinear, however, I expect a few recordings might benefit from Triode, time will tell. It's not the power difference, 22/45 wpc, my speakers are incredibly efficient.

Haven't gotten there yet, perhaps today

6. Barbra Streisand/Donna Summers duet, Enough is Enough, sort the two voices! (CD)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwiR88o_zOA

7. Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5IaMdhVBFo

and, always the final test

8. Jeff Wayne, War of the Worlds, (Original Double LP)(Richard Burton's voice must be right)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Wayne%27s_Musical_Version_of_The_War_of_the_Worlds#Jeff_Wayne's_The_War_of_the_Worlds:_The_Musical_Drama 
if I remember right, it was a 48 track production.   

amp 'new to me', it's a used amp, MK1 to get the 16 ohm taps. Newer versions make tube bias both easy and safe.

LP fans might find this interesting

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linn_Records

I think I requested it before it was released, an offer by Linn to promote their new Linn Records, and Linn sent me this for free. 

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King - Qobuz HiRez

@cobbone1 - I've never heard of a type/genre of music called Northern Soul. Looked it up and was familiar with many songs on a "Northern Soul" greatest hits album. So, what is a "Northern Soul" event? Concert? Dance Party?

Jookabox / The eyes of the fly 

big_greg, My youngest son tells me that they just recently released all of King Crimson's music online. He was listening to Court of the Crimson King himself. 

Chad Vangaalen / Shrink dust 

!!! / Myth takes 

Ruthie Foster / Runaway soul

About 5 hrs worth of Phil Collins and Genisis. What an incredible drummer. 

@reubent Northern soul is a craze started in about the 50s . Events were staged all over the North West of England and is still strong today. Look up Wigan cassino / in Lancashire.  Lots of fottage on YouTube it was an all nighter from 12 midnight until 8am. I used to go as a teenager. Let me know what you think. Cheers.

@cobbone1 - Looks like fun.  

Unfortunately I remember Northern Soul all too well..........
