2016: a new year for music....
The Feelies have a new one coming out in November.  
Townes Van Zandt Road Trip
Sounds like a fun adventure. I agree with tooblue in that you should listen to some Steve Earle along the way  
Your favorite one-man band!
I once saw the late great Michael Hedges play "Low Spark of High Healed Boys" on his acoustic guitar. It sounded like several people playing. Todd Rundgren plays all of the instruments on several of his albums Moby has a great time in the studio b... 
Underated bands that shouldn't be...........
Pretty much every band I listen to. 
Bands who'se names describe thier sound.
Social DistortionSouthern Culture on the Skids 
The Tragically Hip
Their last show tonight was epic. 
Canadian rock and roll
Just watched a live feed from the Hip's last show in Canada tonight. Very emotional, but man Gord Downie was brave to play for 3 hours in his condition. The Tragically Hip have an impressive catalogue of work and I regret never seeing them live.

Are there any quality Phish recordings?
"Billy Breathes" is my favorite Phish album. I think that most of Trey's solo efforts are well recorded. I like ""Live at the Tab' out of all the live official releases.  
What early 70's rock bands had violins?
Most of the 70's rock bands with violin players have been mentioned with one exception- the Dixie Dregs. 
Karl Blau anyone?
Thanks for the heads up. I am a big My Morning Jacket fan and apparently he has produced some of their work. I will check him out. 
Best music for romantic interlude
Well, back in the day, I agree that Roxy Music's "Avalon" was the ticket. Jorma's "Quah" album was pretty good as well. Of course, depending on the personality of the partner, Sinatra, the Grateful Dead's "Live in Europe", Moby's "Play", the Beatl...
