Stuhoo Posted February 3 Posted February 3 WHY THE HELL HAVEN’T YOU GUYS TOLD ME ABOUT WRECKLESS ERIC! Not to mention his collaborative albums with his wife, Amy Rigby.

They have a really interesting album dated 2020. Nuff said. Thanks for the links and the post. Music is powerful and good quality. And fresh. But I am definitely not the best judge of that kind of thang. Let's see if she who must be obeyed has any comments/thoughts that I can ignore. Quote
Demo Posted February 13 Posted February 13 How the hell did I miss this guy? Terry Reid is a British singer/guitarist who’s been around since the 60’s who I’d never heard of until about 12hrs ago. Apparently, nice piece of trivia, he was Jimmy Page’s 1st choice to front Zeppelin. What a great freaking singer. Power. Nuance. Great emotion. Listened to about an hour of him today and the guy’s bada$$. Dave from Dayton and Stuhoo 1 1 Quote

Tuneful, soulful voice with punk guitars, lots of bass but the bass rolls and doesn’t thump, and really effective slightly muddy production.

Shot it off to daughter #1 who loves her some Aussie punk and she hadn’t heard them either. She also fired back an all-girl band she recently came across called VOIID that she thinks could be a thing in that world. Stuhoo 1 Quote
Demo Posted March 1 Posted March 1 RIP David Johansen, frontman of the New York Dolls. Nobody sounded like those guys. There would have been no Ramones without the Dolls. Johnny Thunders basically created punk guitar sound. Their 1st 2 albums are incredible. Literally seed corn for both punk and glam. The Buster Poindexter thing was unfortunate, but Johansen gets a pass on that all day because, again, New York freaking Dolls. Stuhoo and upperarlington 1 1 Quote
Demo Posted March 23 Posted March 23 The Man comes around! Bob Mould just released his 1st new album in something like 5 years and, I swear, this guy. This album is so good. The dude’s, I believe, 65 now and he continues to produce ceaselessly interesting, musically smoking and emotionally raw stuff that’s as good as anyone is putting out. What a bada$$. Stuhoo 1 Quote

What a bada$$. Thanks for the head's up! Listening to it at my desk right now, and of course it's really good because Bob Mould wrote it and plays guitar. A thought: One of the advantages of having a limited singing voice is that now that Mould is 64, there is absolutely no drop-off from his normal thin, nasal baritone. Demo 1 Quote
HoosierHoopster Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Not sure how I hadn't heard this before, found it sifting through some Chris Cornell stuff, posted above on him but the dude had one of the most melodic driven voices in rock -- A Day in the Life, acoustic -- outstanding LIHoosier 1 Quote
HoosierHoopster Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Completely unrelated to the above, I've been on a mostly metal instrumental music vein for some time. Cloudkicker is one of those rock/metal bands most haven't heard of but that if they had vocals they'd probably be well known in rock. Not a bunch of speed/screaming guitars (that gets kind of dull pretty quickly), both heavy gain-backed guttural guitars and pure acoustic work, some of the best stuff I've listened to, here's a couple Seattle - builds beautifully It's inside me and I'm inside it - chill mamasa 1 Quote
Dave from Dayton Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Skimming through new jazz on AllMusic and came across this...Christian Dillingham, just completed a 4-year tenured music professorship at Indiana University. His quartet plays original pieces here in his debut album. Caught my eye because he is from Brookville Ohio...but has played with symphonies in Chicago and NY and...is on over 20 albums...both jazz and classical...has played with John Legend. If you like organic, creative jazz led by a bassist.. Cascades Review by Matt Collar on AllMusic: Sometimes it doesn't take a massive reinvention of a genre to create something fresh and revelatory. Such is the case with bassist Christian Dillingham's exhilarating debut for Greenleaf Records, 2023's Cascades. The longtime Chicago performer has played with an array of artists, from John Legend and Alarm Will Sound to drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts andChicago Sinfonietta. He also took home a Grammy for his work on Kirk Franklin's 2019 album, Long Live Love. What's so refreshing about Dillingham's work on Cascades is that, while the music is wildly creative, it's also deceptively straightforward. Here, he showcases his quartet with saxophonist Lenard Simpson, guitarist Dave Miller, and drummer Greg Artry. Together, they conjure a deeply empathetic and harmonically exploratory atmosphere that doesn't stray far from the acoustic jazz tradition but never fails to surprise. It's as if Dillingham has distilled his varied experiences into his own organic sound, as in the opening "The Bottoms." Inspired by the predominantly Black neighborhood in Ohio where he grew up, the song is built around his funky bass-and-drum groove that sounds like something a hip-hop group might sample. Miller soon joins in with a wiry guitar solo full of layered and overlapping lines that evokes the free-jazz style of Sonny Sharrock. Impressively, Dillingham's group achieves all of this genre-blending energy while still sounding like they are just jamming live at a small club. Equally evocative, the slow jam "Homeostasis," with its noir-ish sax melody, brings to mind the '70s soul jazz of Stanley Turrentine. There are yet more esoteric moments on Cascades, including the hard-driving "One Breathe," with its crunch sax and guitar interplay, and "Lost in Desolation," which sounds like a slow-moving electrical storm in outer space. There's a sense on the album that Dillingham is exploring much more than his musical or artistic identity. It's a feeling he underlines on "Code Switch." Named after the practice of changing one's speech, attitude, or behavior to try to conform to a perceived cultural norm, the song's twangy, country-and-blues melody rises to a soulful mid-song swell, like a gospel or R&B singer in the throws of a chorus, before simmering down to its hushed outro, all of which seems to mirror the cultural dance the title implies. Throughout all of Cascades, Dillingham's warm, woody basslines and distinctive musical personality shine through. Cascades - Christian Dillingham | Album | AllMusic Quote

Shinedown; Godsmack; FFDP Notice that my original post was over 6 years ago. I'm an avid reader and just started reading books written by James Rollins. Just started Map of Bones published in 2005. There it is near the bottom of page 4: "Listen. It's Godsmack's new single. It's not even released in the states yet. How cool is that?" Damn near spit a mouthful of Jack across the room.

Stuhoo Posted April 14 Posted April 14 Tickling this thread with something very old and something very new: First, from this year. Perfume Genius is the ‘band’ name for Michael Hadreas. His new album Glory is winning all kinds of acclaim. It is catchy, hyper-tuneful, and at times heartbreakingly beautiful; “Me & Angel” is something else. https://open.spotify.com/album/2Y5e4etT3wCXoyllnQ0aAD?si=B2O0crgvQ0Gp2AH6hD8Hqg And next, from 1970. Michael Chapman is part Greenwich Village Fred Neil folk, and part David Bowie abstract (and in this case with a yet to be discovered Mick Ronson as his lead guitarist). This album is pretty eclectic and special; a true musician’s musician at work: https://open.spotify.com/album/2ryQfY3BtpyRvF9Gx8kqb8?si=U_uDtPe_SQS_-tNM3EcolA mamasa 1 Quote

Really cool song and never thought I’d hear about Perfume Genius again. mamasa, Stuhoo and jepwatso 3 Quote

Demo Posted April 23 Posted April 23 Came across these guys yesterday. Red Clay Strays are a Southern Rock/Alt Countey/Roots band from Mobile, Al with 2 albums out. Listened to their 2nd one, Made by These Moments, and it’s a terrific record. Every track wins. Great energy. Strong instrumentally. The singer’s name is Brandon Garrison and he’s fantastic. Best new thing I’ve heard in a minute. mamasa 1 Quote
Demo Posted May 6 Posted May 6 “Who’s the greatest modern American singer” sounds like a subjective question, except it’s not. The answer’s Aretha Franklin. What a freaking Titan. I’d never seen this before. Aretha doing “Natural Woman” as a tribute to the great Carole King, who co-wrote this with her and is losing her mind throughout. She was 73 here. Staggering. And if you’re not familiar with the symbolism of it, the dropping of the coat at the end is an old time gospel symbol of someone retiring. So unbelievably cool.
