100 Riffs (A Brief History of Rock N' Roll)
They've always been my speed. Susanna sounds just fine on my JBL's. Thanks for the post.

Snagged from Boing Boing, just for y'all Bass freaks!
Tim Storms holds the World Record for the lowest note ever sung by a human. He can hit a G-7, or .189 Hz. It's so low you can't even hear it, but it's measurable. I like how Tim's website says "Biography of a Bass Freak." Tim also has the world's widest vocal range for a male. He was profiled this week by NPR's Morning Edition and also CNN. You can also hear Tim perform on the St. Petersburg Chamber Choir's new album, Tranquility: Voices of Deep Calm.

I miss Karen's rich contralto. Zooey gives it a go.
I first ran into this cover of Pink Floyd's "Shine on Crazy Diamond" in this trailer:

Here's the full version:

I think it's a great cover that just happens to recall some of the backing singers on some old floyd tracks.
May not be to everyones taste ,but I have been into this for a while now and thought I can't be the only one ….

An interlude from Sharon Coor and a studio full of Irish musicians. Loved Anthony Drennan, here nearly cloning David Gilmour (No closeups, the camera person didn't know guitar and couldn't figure out who was playing the lead. He's standing under the clock). Could have done without the traps. Would have preferred mallets over sticks and no cymbals for this piece.

I used to hang out on a guitar discussion forum that eventually bit the dust. This humble Australian fellow once posted a link to his quietly astounding rendition of "Waltzing Matilda." He is playing a Donmo resonator guitar made by Australian Don Morrison, who often prowls the country for surplus construction materials from which he crafts his fine instruments. This performer takes open G tuning ( most often used for blues) to new places in his arrangement, aided also by his fine harmonica playing.

Without a single string bend, finger slide or bottleneck application in the entire perormance, it does seem to break new ground. It seems especially alien after having been recently astonished by Richard Thompson unleashing even more string pulls than bends. I think I need to embrace the simplicity; my take on this so far is a dry, almost sterile sound serving rhythmic mastery. To me it sounds closer to a four string banjo performance than a resophonic guitar one. In visual arts we call this fighting the media, here in the direction of minimalism. Thank you for making me shift my perspective!

The Master and his fans at a festival, solo acoustic. They have the combined attentions of a James Taylor and a Jeff Beck audience. That's what is unique about Richard.

His electric playing... Well, the best and most satisfying, exhilarating solo I have ever heard was on a festival recording once heard on XM. I have never been able to track it down. Did I ever mention that the reason I tried out the Rhapsody service was to find more Richard Thompson music?
This sort of thing, he effortlessly tosses out for fun. This is the trio I heard this summer at an intimate theater gig.

Here is a different sort of link. Within ten minutes he is outspoken about Spotify ripping off musicians (by the way, they usually pay the label suits but not the artists), YouTube and crappy sound quality, and more.

Had a small listening party at the house yesterday and Tinpan played a track by Lhasa -
quite captivating voice and saddened when he said she had passed by cancer a few years back ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lhasa_de_Sela
i did some searching for her material and found her cover of a Leonard Cohen track

Back to the basics with an updated rendition of traditional Scottish music. This was their first gig, but not the first rodeo of any of these fine musicians by a long shot. Love the viola.

An even simpler tale, well told.

"Little Birdie" on their website. Stick around and more music will play for you.

Any further erosion of the arts in the remaining Celtic cultures must be halted. I support these musicians with my wallet when I can. The last refuges of Celtic languages harbor these treasures, even though the languages are not always directly used, as here. Scots Gaelic, Irish, Welsh, Breton, Cornish, and a hopefully reviving Manx. The Celts were driven Northwest across Europe until only the Western coastlines remained Celtic. The Celtic language in Galicia has been lost, but Spanish or not they still play the bagpipes there.
