Alison Scott - Chinese Whispers

A friend turned me on to the iTunes track last fall -
I liked it and bought the Chinese Whispers CD,
then recently bought the rest of her recorded works

I'm struggling to find more than two tracks worth listening to. "Trains" is great. I'd love an entire CD of nothing but that type of writing, singing, and recording. But the reality is that cut seems to be engineered by a totally different crew as the rest of the album is flat and lifeless. The title cut is another good one but way too short.

Her second CD is a tedious listen full of mediocre covers in a repetitive nasal vocal presentation. The earlier CD is a bit better but I'm still undecided as to whether or not it will ever see even ocasional rotation in my listening selection. Too bad, I was hoping for better after the links.

But don't let that stop you recommending what you find!

I had to eventually switch to the latest Daft Punk CD "Random Access Memories" just to remember what a good recording was supposed to sound like.
Thank god for Nathan East!

I had Pandora rolling on TYA station and some great blues came on , but not recognizable artist ...checked it out , turned out to be an unknown (to me) named Gary Moore. I made a station for him and have been pleasantly impressed with what I've heard.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Moore

Robert William Gary Moore (4 April 1952^[1] – 6 February 2011), was a Northern Irish musician, most widely recognised as a singer and guitarist.
In a career dating back to the 1960s, Moore played with artists including Phil Lynott and Brian Downey during his teens, leading him to memberships with the Irish bands Skid Row and Thin Lizzy on three separate occasions. Moore shared the stage with such blues and rock luminaries as B.B. King, Albert King, Colosseum II, George Harrison, and Greg Lake, as well as having a successful solo career. He guested on a number of albums recorded by high profile musicians, including a cameo appearance playing the lead guitar solo on "She's My Baby" from Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3.

Some really cool stuff represented here.

I thought I was really cool when I found a collection of Deutsche Grammophon album sets last month at a Goodwill for half a buck a pop on "Senior Halfprice Day".

I bought all that were pristine along with some rock, jazz, Barbra Streisand, Neal Diamond as well. Added 37 albums to my collection in one stop
(most of the classicals were doubles or triples, etc.).

I am still amazed at what can be found, if one LOOKS!!


I will try to "follow the format" as I show pics of my new treasures, soon.

Wow ..the last Johnny Cash album , a "near to death" recording. Emotional and soulful. His voice is somewhat shaky but still under control. You can feel his pain. If you've ever enjoyed JC , this is a "must hear"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America...#39;t_No_Grave

American VI: Ain't No Grave is a posthumous album by Johnny Cash, released February 23, 2010, on American Recordings and Lost Highway Records^[1] Its release was three days prior to what would have been Cash's 78th birthday.^[2] The album's music was recorded during the same sessions as American V: A Hundred Highways (2006).

Are you back from your vacation? How was the Who concert!?

Yes back and looking forward to some listening time as I get caught up with work. The Who concert in Paris was a real treat for me, seeing a band that I rate up there with the Stones and the Beatles. The Quadrophenia songs were great and they did a great version of Baba O' Riley and Won't Get Fooled Again. Tres bien!
