What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2016
2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;
Unfortunately we haven't seen any albums coming from this fine band. I am not sure if we will ever again given the success from Steven Wilson in his solo career....
Just right for a sunny morning.

The signature voice on Robin Trower's albums for over a decade, he accompanied Maggie Bell for a number of years too, and the Stone the Crows before that. A really good blues rock voice although on this album he covers pop rock numbers. This was to be his only solo album and was produced by Procol Harum's Mathew Fisher. Originally recorded in the late '70s but not released until 1998 a few years before his untimely passing.
"Why this album is so obscure is one of the great mysteries of rock n roll. Dewar sounds at home here with surefooted vocals in what was essentially a record devoted to his family."

One more. Why not?
Joining spurrier sucks' AC/DC party with this classic on vinyl. Got to ask spurrier sucks - have you considered changing your forum id now that Steve's retired? Haven't figured out whether you're a Game Cocks fan that resented Spurrier's coaching or a fan of a SEC rival.
I didn't know I could change it. Another forum I visit doesn't allow it. Just to keep it consistent I'll keep it, he does still suck, but Muschamp Sucks has a nice ring to it as well.lol I am a Clemson Tiger fan and hater of all things Gamecocks.
Hah, probably best then you keep your forum id as is. Not sure I want to be replying to a member called Dabo
. A truly exciting championship game this year. Bright future ahead for the Tigers.
As a Buckeyes fan there is a legacy inexorably tied to the Tigers. Are you old enough to remember Woody's infamous punch that ended his career?
I do not remember when it originally happened but it is legendary in these parts. You can imagine the new life it got before CU v OSU in the Orange Bowl.
1979 - CD(1989) - WAV
Old vinyl with occasional light crackling...

Tiger Lou - California Hauling
1st run, I ripped the whole box and was not so attracted by this, but might turn out to be enjoyable...
1972 - Original vinyl...
Early Ry Cooder................a bit uneven in places, but still contains some gems.

Noteworthy, and a strong statement coming from thou who listens to more albums than I ever thought humanly possible. I'm vaguely familiar with it, but as our tastes often align I'm putting this on my radar of record shop grabs.
Truely surprised that you have never listened to this album my friend. My wife keeps telling me that if I started playing every disc/download I own starting today I wouldn't manage to finish listening to them all before I push up daisies. She's right.
Continuing with Mr Cooder, a favourite since schooldays....................an excellent album, with a standout track...........Ry doing John Lee Hooker..........Brilliant!
Collection of the labels roster. Out June 10th

It would be on my list, too. Except for profoundly annoying "Bloody Well Right" and "Dreamer". Tracks I just can't listen to. They put the whole album "off limits" to me. I only have a few of these unlistenable tracks, one other being Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah".
The real thing.
