What's Playing Now

One of the last new great singers/songwriters with remarkable vocal skill. And what wonderful music paintings esp. "Walking in Memphis" A1. Waiting for the King down in the jungle room...

[Fritz The Cat]

Why should we buy this album of Wainwright No.3? We have Dylan No.1:that's enough superb lyrics for the next 3 centuries. Listen to "Reader and Advisor" A1 with Richard Thompson on guitar and mandolin:actually this is some kind of "Sister Morphine"!

[Fritz The Cat]

One of the most important Krautrock bands. Some 50 years old good German Sauerkraut rehashed. Fat Hammond. Listen to Albie Donnelly's sax at the end of "Me and my car" A3.

[Fritz The Cat]

Listen to the voice of Margie Hendrix on "Tell the truth"A4. Do the twist with Margie...

Brubeck Desmond - s/t

Been enjoying this a couple of more times and when I was last on our library's website,
noticed that they had the remastered CD. Put a hold on it and picked up yesterday.

Funny, didn't hear it sound any better than the vinyl. . Must have been recorded well
and not really in need of remastering.

Tom, I recall that I first heard the Allman Brothers Band album way back in 1971 and bought it. It was one of the few if any "live" recordings that I liked. I prefer listening to studio recorded albums because I didn't care for the quality of live recordings at the time or the audience noise. "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and "Stormy Monday" are my favorites.
I do have the 2 CD set released in 1992 which I haven't listened to for some time.
The only other "live" recordings that I purchased on LP that I can recall were The Woodstock 3 LP set, The Who's "Live At Leeds" and Iron Butterfly's Live album. Iron Butterfly's Live album didn't sound good at all. I might have played it once but after that it sat in its album cover.

Rereleased in 2000, remastered, 180gr. vinyl. Great dynamics. Liner notes: "Also they invariably provide the listener with that illusion of artistic cohesiveness, because they imbue almost everything they play with that intensity of feeling and sense of "now" that is essential to good Jazz."
What is good Jazz?

[Fritz The Cat]

Most music was not recorded very well at Woodstock Festival. But this one is superb IMHO!
Recorded by Eddie Kramer and Lee Osborne. Listen to "Tobacco Road" B2 with Edgar Winter.
Tommy Shannon, b. Pure energy.
