What is spinning?

Nothing unusual as of late--a little Norah, a little Ray and now Over the Rhine's Drunkard's Prayer.

My CDs are still loved, but waxing as usual.

Listening to Innervision by Stevie

RLJ (Rickie Lee Jones), Linda Ronstadt, Pat Benatar, all on vinyl; Norah Jones

Speaking of Pat Benatar. I have Crimes of Passion. The band nearly covers her up. Know any albums where she is forefront, like, say the other above-mentioned artists are? I like to hear her voice.

thx

Hi Tin,
Your post finally got me to get my Linda Ronstadt set out. This was given to me by a guy I talked to on a bus along with others. Whatta beautiful voice. Recording is superb too. I dont think I've ever heard this kinda of sound from records before. Of course i dont really listen to this type of music, but I'm very happy that I got them out.

I should go to bed, but I can't stop spinning.

Some outstanding Blues Guitar for me, to kick the weekend off:

"Joe Bonamassa - You & Me".

Peace

Hey, way to go, JRA! Glad you were able to set aside genre preferences long enough to experience Linda. I am thrilled that I was in some way instrumental in spreading her around. I started buying Linda's records circa 1975. Probably need to buy more, now that I have a working TT again.

If you were impressed by Linda, you might give Tish Hinojosa a whirl. Same type of music in a lot of ways, but to me Tish's voice is more musical than Linda's, if possible. Get Tish on a major label, WB or whatever. I don't know about the LPs, but some of the small label (Watermelon Records) CDs are, sadly, of crappy quality.

Be careful; you might start listening to this stuff.

Great record.

In the process of digging out all the vinyl for easy access in the entertainment center (arranging it alphabetically, of course), I am combining my and SWMBO's stacks (true love, eh?). Found some interesting items in SWMBO's stack:

Rickie Lee Jones: self-titled. That was so fine I went out & bought 2 more RLJs.

Olivia Newton-John: Have You Never Been Mellow. The surface of this one is in bad shape, but I washed her up & gave her a whirl anyhow. Wow, sweet! I may need to get a better copy of this -- one that doesn't look like it was used as a sanding disc.

Flora Purim: Everyday Everynight. WTF?? Are you kidding me? This is astounding! Now I'm not the world's biggest jazz fan, actually not much of a jazz fan at all, but I could get used to this real easy. :)

Violent Femmes: Hallowed Ground

When I was young, the debit was my favorite. These days, I haven't pulled out the first one in years, but this still gets played regularly. Creepy folk weirdness throughout.

Hey nobody,
Is that the one with the classic "Country Death Song"?? :out: :out:

It's been cold and dark all day. I love music on days like this. And boy I got music to go with it.

Tom Waits - Nighthawks at the Diner

Have a great week folks.

Starting off with some mellow folk guitar

Adrian Legg ~ Fingers and Thumbs

Yes.

And, while the protagonist for the debut album sounded like pretty typical teenager...the voice on this one is much more demented with alternating moments religious fervor and secular anger.

Everybody sang along to the first album because the guy sounded just like one of them. They weren't nearly so anxious to sound just like the fella on the second one.

In other words...songs about doing drugs and wanting desperatly to get laid...perfect for the typical teenage crowd.

Songs about Jesus, kiling your daughter, homosexuality, and Noah's Ark...not so much.

Having a bit of a runaround today (as is, apparently th AR server) but taking a moment to enjoy Ana Caram's Blue Bossa

Brazilian siren Ana Caram shares this "retro"-spective musical performance with you in celebration of the brilliant marriage between Brazillian song and the American "cool jazz".The result? A very cool glimpse into the Bossa Nova scene of a 1960's jazz club...

The Fender Rhodes is a nice touch as well as all that Chesky goodness. Very nice. FWIW, being barely literate in one language I cannot comment on lyrical content, although--god bless her heart--she sounds sincere...

Cheers

Yeah, I remember that one. Not just killing her either..."Take yer lovely daughter and throw her in the well...". That's an angst-Americana a la inbred-on-the-farm-dark-thoughts-at-night kind of a dealio. Not your average folk/rock album's chicken-pluckin' stylings...

although the murder ballad is a pretty well-entrenched tradition in folk/americana/bluegrass whatever ya wanna call it

Bob Dylan is alright,but I'm enjoying this album. First track features Johnny Cash. Man those 2 can mumble like no others.

Bob Dylan, Nashville Skyline.

Closing the evening out with JC's Blue Train and not much need be said...

I listened to Singing Bones by Handsome Family at my local store. I just didnt feel it. It just wasnt my time I guess.
I dont know why but I'm listening to Billy Joel 52nd Street. I hate it. Oh well, on with the next

Picked up that Corinne Bailey Rae that had been talked about elsewhere. The cd is almost like separate albums, the first half falling within the styles of Sade and Erykah Badu with some sexy Vula Malinga vocals thrown in the mix. The second half seems to run out of steam, relying heavily on slightly over-emphasized bass bumpin' and lacking the creative spark the preceding tunes. I suspect the album will do well on the strength of the singles, and it's a very good but not earth-shattering rec.

Cheers

went to some music stores,

Bobby Hutcherson - Happenings
Herbie Hancock - Takin' off
Herbie Hancock - Secrets
Ramsey Lewis Trio - Time Flies

I'm listeing to Audiophile pressing of Dark Side of the Moon to finally test out my new phono pre.:):):):):):):):):):) As usual I'll pull out my Grant Green, Idle Moment. I guess those are the two I know best.

The Theme to The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Joey DeFrancesco - Reboppin'

I've probably only spun this disc 2 times. I dont know why I bought this album 3,4 years ago. I think i was just looking for someone who plays Hammond Organ.
All I can say is WWWOWWWW!!! This album has so much energy. Good stuff!!!
