I am getting lots of listening in:

Emmylou Harris and Elvis Costello - Live at Ryman. This is an unreleased bootleg. Very good. Dave Rawlings and Gilian Welch sit in for a few songs.

Port St. Willow - Not my favorite

Jay Fararr and Yim Yames - Net Multitudes. Eh.

Sean Hayes - Alabama Chicken. Like.

Neil Young - Americana. Some are bad; some are good.

Willy Tea Taylor. Some good some bad.

More to come.
The Clash--London Calling...

...but not on my ipod. I heard it on an NBC commercial for the London Summer Olympics. Confused
Now, I don't claim to be a huge Clash fan, or even well versed; they came a little after my golden age of music. But it seems to me that using one of their iconic songs for commercialization would be the antipathy of what they seemed to believe in.
They're also reputed to have shunned profit motivations in the music industry. I wonder how much NBC paid for the rights? Just weird.

Did he pour it in a saucer, then slurp?


I'm in a meeting of the uncouth, ill-mannered, and inconsiderate, so that would be perfect.


You are at the Vancouver Canucks convention? Devilish

Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band - Ice Cream for Crow

I had to google this one. The video (found it on youtube) was originally rejected by MTV USA as "too weird" upon release, now in the Permanent Film and Video Collection of the Museum of Modern Art, NYC. Figures...

I've known you for a while now steve8 but you, my friend, have a VERY eclectic taste in music!

A little pre-offline warm up music? I'm assuming there will be strolling violins once we arrive tonight. Big Grin


Maybe I'll set my Stratocaster on fire a la Jimi Hendrix!


Now THAT'S an offline! Cool
disc #5 of the Auchtung Baby 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition.
Highlights:
Lady With The Spinning Head
Salomé
Satellite Of Love
Heaven & Hell
Oh Berlin
Paint It Black
Fortunate Son
Alex Descends Into Hell For A Bottle Of Milk/Korova 1

The covers are a delight. The whole collection shows the range and variety of sounds these guys were playing with 20 years ago. Some of which they expanded into subsequent alblums and is stuff they bring out during tours to keep the sets fresh and interesting.

Vinyl? I borrowed (stole?) this vinyl from my parents and have worn it out. Especially when I lived in Macon. Can't tell you how many Saturday fall afternoons that record saw. Elizabeth Reed, over and over.
Yep, I buy exclusively buy vinyl. This is in near mint condition and I'm pretty sure I found it in the $1 bin.

I'm listening to the French Suites recorded on piano right now myself.


French suites...noted. I have a weakness for harp so will look for it on that.


I have the art of fugue for the harpsichord and I never really warmed to that work. I imagined it was a piece that you could appreciate by reading, but maybe not by listening to, but then I got a recording of it performed by string quartet and now I like it quite a lot.

Excellent, and my second favorite of Dylan.


...and your favourite is? Hwy 61? Blood on the Tracks?

BoB is my favourite Dylan album.


I had my parents dylan albums to tap into when a youth...blood on the tracks for me and still so poignant.

From the concertos above, I recommend the largo from 1056 if you haven't heard it. Even on a suspect mix it is brilliant.

Highway 61 (my favorite and guess at W+As).

Overall, I agree that BoB is #2, but Another Side is also just so wonderful.

Bringing It All Back Home and John Wesley Harding (which may be Dylan's only album that actually works better as an album than as a collection of individual songs) ain't no slouches, either.

Thanks Former15, I never saw Steve's post.

Indeed Highway 61, but others excellent as well for sure.
