What are you listening to right now? (VOL I)

Keith Urban "Greatest Hits"



KU is often written off, similar to John Mayer, as being some media creation, no-talent pretty boy. Nothing profound here, but very tasteful country tinged pop with some very fine guitar playing by KU. One of my favorites, after seeing his "Country Road" tribute version to JT on the Musicares dvd - he ripped it up that night.

Ewen,

if you listened to those discs in that order, Tiny Voices must have been a bit of a jolt between Wilson and Otis, though there is no doubt JH is soulful in his own way.

hope you are feeling better !

Thanks for the kind words. No I didn't listen to them in that order but have to thank you for stimulating my interest in Joe Henry again. Had everything up to Fuse then got rid of that album but now have ended up buying everything up to Civvilians which I will get shortly. Have you heard that new Mark Olson disc, seems vg?

Not yet. I am in a bit of a purchase connundrum as I hate buying with credit card (online) but hate worse being in traffic/crowds regarding shops (cash). So, the list grows, and recent purchases have been mainstream (Starbucks) or where I shop on the way home from work (one stop for everything I need but very limited music selection). And library loans till I purchase. And too much music too little time.

Life is hard

ps JH from Fuse forward is so unique - I love that he does his own thing and challenges our comfort zones.

Led Zeppelin "Mothership" disc 2

Picked it up for 99 cent at a local record shop.
Never heard it before.

Rachel Harrington- The Bootleggers Daughter

For all those Gillian Welch fans- one of the best albums I have heard this year. A friend brought a promo copy over last night for a listen as he thought I might like. How right he was. Have just nipped onto her website an bought and autographed copy for under 10 squid.

If you want to listen to 2 minute samples pop over to www.cdbaby.com.

As it looks like I have to wait for my new toys back to the music:-

Hi kuma

A classic album of early seventies pop/rock. Originally, Messina (Buffalo Springfield, Poco) was only producer but he and KL meshed so well it was titled as above. Their real forte was live - try "On Stage" (from 72-73) or "Sittin In Again" (from 2005 on cd or dvd). They got jammin' at times live with hints of jazz, one of my first exposures to a genre I came to love. Another terrific studio album is Mother Lode. Enjoy.
