Thoughts??

The few tracks I've heard so far haven't blown me away.

I was listening to it streamed on NPR. I thought it sounded pretty good upon first listen, especially considering it wasn't exactly hi-fi.

That said, while we both like his music we seem to like different albums.

Barleyjuice - The Irish Collection.

Let me in makes you feel like being in your care-free mid-20's and slowly waking up from a nap after long, lazy mid-afternoon sex.

OK well, I didn't think about including Whiskeytown... in which case that's a pretty fine five-pack of albums you listed.

Stranger's Almanac is way up there for me. Can't say I've listened much to Pneumonia, but I will pay more attention to it this weekend.

And Cold Roses probably hovers just below my top five - and definitely features one of my favourite songs in Let It Ride.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Paper Mache Dream Balloon

surfing some guitar solos on YouTube ...
Prince, Warren Haynes, David Gilmour, Joe Walsh, etc.

When Hell Freezes Over

James Carter's JC on the Set

Carter is, hands down, the greatest living sax player around. This CD is amazing. Chasin' the Gypsy, an earlier release, is even more amazing. I've never heard a sax player comfortable with soprano, alto, and tenor. But, bass, too?! Frickin' incredible musician.

Tedeschi Trucks

A great horned owl calling outside. This afternoon there were some flocks of sandhill cranes calling.

Miles Davis - Kinda Blue
Sting - Nothing Like The Sun

When referring to the greatest jazz album of all time, we do need to refer to it correctly!

Kind of Blue.

And Nothin' Like the Sun. Actually I've never heard a Sting album.

Last Bandoleros

Whiskeytown (Ryan Adams) - Pneumonia

Yesterday afternoon and again this morning. I don't know why I never paid much attention to this album. It's damned fine.

Thanks, steve8.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense

Neil Young - Trans

Been a long time since I listened to this. Dunno, maybe I dislike it less than I did upon release.

I mostly like Neil Young. He has done some "interesting" stuff. And when he's bad, he's really quite terrible.

I've been listening to the Deep Tracks channel on Sirius a lot lately. Some interesting stuff. Today I turned it on and got audio before I got a display of what was playing. I knew instantly it was Robin Trower even though I'd never heard the track. Very distinctive sound.

Parquet Courts - Content Nausea

The Pogues - Rum, Sodomy & the Lash

Great album Rob.

St. Vincent - Strange Mercy

Bach Cantatas. I guess I never can get very far away from these.

The Beatles - Abbey Road

Neil Young - Live at Massey '71

Urge Overkill - Exit the Dragon

Beethoven Piano Sonatas - I've decided to try to listen to all 32 in order over the next few days. I saw Daniel Barenboim perhaps then in a set of 8 concerts in the mid 80s. I was astounded. I've since soured on his interpretations of most things but that's another story. I'm listening to a complete set recorded by Jean Bernard Pommier. In previous listens I've enjoyed his "light touch" on the earlier sonatas but found it not to fit as well with the late ones.

The Mavericks

Weird, but interesting:
The Band to be saluted at March 25 Wild Honey Orchestra autism benefit

Hamilton Soundtrack again. It is has been a few weeks
