What selections do you play when showing off your system to others?


I find that when I'm having someone listen to my system that I usually play the same 4 or 5 selections. I tend to lean towards vocals and acoustic presentations. Mine are as follows:

Hold That Line- Tedeschi Trucks Band

Roadhouse and Automobiles- Chris Jones

The Hunter- Jennifer Warnes

River Blues- Eric Bibb

Flight of the Hippo- Bela Fleck and the Flecktones

It's All in the Game- Merle Haggard

Your Bright Baby Blues- Jackson Browne

What are yours?

Oh, and "I'm An Old Cowhand" by Dan Hicks And His Hot Licks, featuring the vocal stylings of the delicious Maryann Price (her singing on this song is absolutely lascivious!).  Found on the group's Striking It Rich album, produced by the well-known Tommy LiPuma (33 Grammy nominations with 5 wins!), recorded in January and February 1972 at Sunset Sound in L.A.---a studio known for it's great sound, engineering by Bruce Botnick (the doors, Love, The Beach Boys, many others). The whole album is fantastic, the relatively rare concurrence of good music AND good sound.

By the way, Botnick produced the two Columbia Records albums by L.A. Power Pop band The Beat, their debut album a classic of the genre.

"That Mellow Saxophone" from Boogeyin'! on Mapleshade because it's so much fun.

 

Nobody who doesn't already care about great audio really cares about how cool you think your stereo is. They simply do not give a damn generally, and may say something complimentary to be nice...kind of like "Nice train set," or "Nice tiny doll house furniture collection," or "Stamps...How cool!"

....fun just to leave it on the big screen soundless and looped...

Beats a blank screen any day...even if it doesn’t smell funny. ;)

Change the speed to fit the mood....
