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?

Bcuz I'm all about that bass:

Stevie Ray Vaughn - "Tin Pan Alley"

Dave Matthews: "Grey Blue Eyes"

Prince: "Dark"

P.M. Dawn: "I'd Die Without You"

Diana Krall: "My Love Is"

Whitney Houston: "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)"

Eightball & MJG: "Just Like Candy"    *Only a quality set up will catch all of the bass in this one.
