What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIII)

Glorious Fool by John Martin - memories of going to see him at Brunel University and talking to a drunk at the bar who looked like he had been dragged through a muddy field backwards. 45 minutes later that drunk was on stage - it was John Martin!

My first Supertramp album. I never tire of listening to it.

George Cables - Live at Maybeck.

Track 2 'Helen's Song' is a composition by George Cables which he performes really well during this recording.

Don't know why the image is so small. Anyway, it's Crime Of The Century

Prog night takes a break to listen to this excellent album

Jeff Buckley - Grace

One Supertramp album prompted me to select another.

Tal Farlow was famous, among other things, for the size of his hands. In the picture on the album it looks like he's playing a stretchy F#maj7 at the second position (whilst adding a #11 with his right index finger). Try it - you've got to dampen the b7 on the 4th string at the same time. It's very much worth investigating his work - there's a lot to be discovered.

I only have half a dozen or so of his albums, but I've never even seen this one before. I was lucky (and old) enough to have seen him play a couple of times. I was in awe of his playing, so much so I actually gave up trying to play guitar. Though this should not be a cause for dismay amongst music lovers!

Regards, Vlad

John Martyn - Grace & Danger

A nice teaser for what most probably their last studio album will be, if this is the norm, it should be interesting....

 Very relaxing and nice sounding quartet jazz with the saxophone in the lead...

I've just watched Time Stand Still, which has the same impact on Rush fans that Titanic, or Ghost, had on my wife.  Now that I've stopped blubbing I've decided to celebrate 40 years of God's gift to music by listening to their albums in sequential order starting with Rush, Rush released in 74 with John Rutsey on drums.  An album a night which should be fun.  24 bit Flac via Auudirvana/Hugo. 

16/44 WAV

I'm quite new to Opera and only have a few in my collection. However, this is wonderful IMO. 1st play and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Rush, Fly by Night, their second album from 75 and now with God playing the drums and the start of their prog rock days.  2015 24 bit Flac via Audirvana/Hugo 

16/44 WAV

Airbag, The Greatest Show On Earth.

The last for tonight and Rush, Caress of Steel, their 3rd album from 75 and much heavier than the two before.  I'm prepared to admit this album is patchy but the second half is pure Rush and prog rock for me and a sign of things to come.  2112 is just around the corner.  2015 24 bit Flac via Audirvana/Hugo 

Jan Lundgren (solo piano): Man in the Fog

This is a magnificent piano recording (2013) where the Nait 3 and 3.5 player just glow to no end. Fourth rotation of the day:

Son of James McMurtry.

Are they similar in style Ewen?

Nope, I would certainly give this a listen before buying as unless it is going to take repeated plays it ain't a good album

Thanks Ewen I'll give it a miss for now...

Have to cuncur here - definitely not "like father like son".  

Might think about starting an Americana week.

 

Sounds like a plan Ewen, I'll look forward to that.

The Doobie Brothers. Stampede. Original vinyl from 1975. A welcome, warm, tubey, easy listening album. All great to relax to on a Friday night.

Dire Straits. Love Over Gold. On original vinyl from 1982. The dynamic range on this album is impressive. From quiet as a whisper to almost raucous. The SQ is as commanding as the music.

Neil Young With Crazy Horse. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. On original vinyl from 1969. Contains what might be rock music's most famous one-note guitar solo.
