Music... I Listened to Some

Been getting into some Randy Travis

 

One of the best intros ever:

 

Given the tenor of recent posts, feed your head...

 

And just because it's Delbert...

 

Them three boys could sure play some rock n roll. Maybe my one musical regret - never seeing/hearing Neil Peart play live.

 

Mine, as well.

 

This made my night!

 

I recently came across these guys, JJ Grey & Mofro is an American Southern soul-rock band from Jacksonville, Florida

 

Okay one more

 

Extremely saddened right now. Just found out that the singer to my favorite current band has passed away at the very young age of 34.





Swarmed by the fury
An excruciating burning
A black mass of impending doom
Their multitudes overwhelming you

Scorned for eternity
The arrogance of your perjury
Death sings through buzzing wings
Drowning out your desperate screams

Don't mess with
The hornet's nest

 

Sorry, dude. That's a bummer. Somehow they weren't on my radar at all. Kind of reminds me of D.R.I.

 

Yeah
Definitely a huge crossover influence, but with a bit of the groove of the big four.

 

@Derkderkall, Sorry to hear about the loss of a bright flame. Be thankful if you can. Peace.

 

Lost this one too....

 

Back to basics today. Imagined it was 1969 at Devonshire Downs. today.

 

Two brothers from Rhode Island. Got a chance to enjoy their music at a house concert at my brothers home in Coventry RI

 

Sounds great, maybe something like I heard from John Lee Hooker (faulty memory,may have been another group) at the Newport Folk Festival circa 1960. Many great memories from living there, not to mention their Jazz Festival.

 

They have a little Lonely Boys vibe to my ear. Very nice. Thanks.

Speaking of John Lee, here he is with Santana.

 

Swing and a miss, Sirius XM artist photo match algorithm.

 

No flash or hype, just three musicians playing, singing, and pinning it live. King's X.

 

I spent about 6 hours running cable for, and rearranging my AV system. The cable box has been on the floor next to the TV and there were tons of abandoned cables I had to track down and confirm are being used. Drilled holes in the floor, patched holes in the wall, and in the end have a fairly tight and more compact footprint. The upside is that I figured out my record player hasn't been plugged into an amplified input on the stereo, it was going to an AV input not audio. So I swapped inputs and wow, that's the way these records are supposed to sound... Excellent!

So started playing some of the good stuff...

 

Great album!
Here's some live Levon

 

This is for a the ships becalmed in the doldrums...

The wheel is turning and you can't slow down
You can't let go and you can't hold on
You can't go back and you can't stand still
If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will

 

New tune from Midnight Oil!

 

"The land where time stands still" indeed. The band sounds exactly the same - which is a good thing. Always loved the juxtaposition of the horns, the driving rock beat and the urgency of Peter Garrett's singing.

And - the content is still the same - how much the white intruders screwed over the aboriginals. Always important to hear that perspective, but I think the fact that it's been 35 years since Blue Sky Mine, The Dead Heart and Beds are Burning and nothing has changed seems now to be (ironically) more exploitive than helpful.

 

A little Cachao for your pleasure...

 

Mas y mas con los mavericks...

 

Brother Doug @hill^billy, I could not not think of you when this came on...




Sailing off to entropy...All aboard! Cheers, if you will.
