What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2017
2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
Oliver Nelson. Until recently, I only listened to 'The blues and the abstract thruth'. But he has made other good albums as well.
Luke Howard Trio - Electric Night Descends. Bandcamp download.
Havent played this for a while - sounding rather good.
Earlier - Sarah Jarosz - Undercurrent. Tidal - after many, many plays finally pulled the trigger and ordered the CD. Super album - highly recommended.

Rodney Crowell - Close Ties. Tidal. Apologies for posting this again but it's a great listen (new artist for me).
"The thousand-yard stare Rodney Crowell’s wearing on the cover of Close Ties suggests battle weariness, and much of the material inside surveys the Nashville veteran’s past in uncompromising fashion. East Houston Blues addresses his dysfunctional boyhood, I Don’t Care Anymore is a driving blues casting a rueful eye on youthful excess, and Forgive Me Annabelle is an apology to an ex-lover (“We both know how far from grace I fell”). Still, Crowell wears his wounds lightly. It Ain’t Over Yet, featuring ex-wife Rosanna Cash, is defiantly upbeat, and I’m Tied To Ya a tender duet with Sheryl Crow. Delicately sung and immaculately played in semi-acoustic fashion, it’s a high point in an impressive career." The Guardian.

Master Musicians of Bukkake. The visible sign of the invisible order.
Fantastic name for a band, and equally fantastic name for an album !
Drone collective from Seattle doing a great job of trying to sort out this world with voodoo magic.
'When the Levee Breaks' ending a sunny Saturday blast.

What to play after the majesty of LZIV...This fits the bill.

(2007)
In the mood for some powerful and heavy symphonic goth metal with Sharon den Adel's great voice hitting the spot up front.

If you this album try his first album and also Houston Kid

I've loved their other stuff but this is my first listen to this 'Remastered 25th Anniversary Edition'. I can confirm it is all guitars, drums and good tunes. Lots of references to 'driving somewhere'.

I preferred this album to You and Your Sister.
Also if you like them try The Vigilantes of Love- Audible Sigh as you may like that.
Now playing Wes Montgomery. Has been a while since I last played some of his music.
