My current find is Brandi Carlile, In These Silent Days. What an amazing voice, and she does have a way with a lyric.

Taj Mahal - Phantom Blues (1996)

This whole album is just so... comfortable. Nice, laid back vibe.

Dancing in the Moonlight
I’ve heard 4 versions in the last few days. The hit version by King Harvest, a cover version by Orleans, and another cover by Jubel, a dance version, not my favorite version. I also just listened to the original by Boffalongo, also not my favorite version.
Here’s a Wikipedia article that illuminates the thread between Boffalongo, King Harvest, and Orleans.

Watching and listening to PBS Great Performances - “Mick Fleetwod & Friends: Celebrating The Music of Peter Green”

From the days when Fleetwood Mac was an English blues band. Fleetwood put together a cast of blues rockers for this tribute.

I can’t believe it. John Mayall just walked on the stage. I didn’t know he was even alive. :shock:

I finally got Apple Music and started out with a 60s kick this week (avoiding the Beatles, my favorite band, just because EVERYONE is listening to them them right now) My first three lessons:
1) The Beau Brummells had a lot more great songs than I ever realized
2) Paul Revere and the Raiders were a lot weirder than I ever realized
3) the Ronettes remain perfect.

:thumbsup

Listening now, almost through.

What comes through Taj Mahal's music is that he's really well-grounded. From this 1969 release, seems like he had his feet firmly planted on the ground even as a relatively young man. I just imagine it would take a boatload of self-confidence to put out that album in 1969 at the age of 27. Impressive!

Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett on CBS tonight. A somewhat unusual pairing with a fantastic big band backing them up. Tony just retired so this is his last concert. I don't watch much broadcast TV but this is good.

"Though there’s a 60-year age difference between them, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga discovered an incredible artistic connection and have created beautiful music together over the last decade. Bennett, who has been performing for over 70 years, announced his retirement from performing live earlier this year and has decided to close that chapter of his career with Lady Gaga. His final concert, One Last Time, was recorded in August at Radio City Music Hall and will air on CBS and Paramount+ on Sunday, November 28."

Well-grounded is very well put, I completely agree. I’ve loved this album since high school, originally on LP. I’ve yet to see him live, someday maybe. Thanks for listening.

Thanks for the convenient link!

This thread has greatly expanded my listening horizons. I used to learn about new music primarily by attending various kinds of music festivals and listening to local college radio stations. This thread has now overtaken both of those avenues as a primary source of new listening material.

Just wanted to chime in with a heartfelt appreciation to everyone who contributes!

That’s a great song. I’ve listened to all four versions that you listed here (there are other cover versions also) and I prefer King Harvest’s, maybe because that’s the one I always heard on the radio, but it’s good. The Orleans version is too slick for my tastes, the marimba is interesting. Jubël’s dance version has a lot going for it with that strong bass beat, especially with my Etymotic ER4XR earphones. I hadn’t heard of this group before.

The death last week of composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim brings memories of his many great Broadway musicals, but one song, “Send in the Clowns,” stands out for me, having heard endless singers record it, including Judy Collins, Frank Sinatra (the two whose separate recordings made it a hit in the ‘70s), Barbra Streisand, Glenn Close, Shirley Bassey, Bernadette Peters, Carol Burnett, Dame Judi Dench, Sarah Vaughan, etc., etc. My favorite performances were by Dench, who played in the musical, “A Little Night Music,” for which the song was written, and Shirley Bassey because, I think, they acted out the song, not surprising for actress Dench, but maybe so for Bassey, better known for belting out James Bond movie themes, especially “Goldfinger.” Here are their versions:

Thanks everyone for all the great links! Some new finds for me...

New Punch Brothers single and I think my favorite punch brothers song ever...great digesting music :D :

Sadly Tim Akers passed away this year, great session musician that formed a band called "The Smoking Section" with other session players. Linking his take on Fame that he released earlier this year. RIP and thanks for all the great music Mr. Akers:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuIwvOICd-0

Further immersing myself into the Snarky Puppy rabbit hole, they did 2 collections of backing other musicians called Family Dinner Vol 1 & 2. Both are worth a full listen but am linking some favs below:
-Magda Giannikou - Amour T'es Là (Family Dinner - Volume One): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFkRtjrrM5k
-Lucy Woodward - He Got Away (Family Dinner Volume One): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JUcRrSVjaA
-Lalah Hathaway - Something (Family Dinner - Volume One). I believe they won a grammy for this performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SJIgTLe0hc

U2 Achtung Baby on the original CD on my home stereo at a reasonable volume. There are several great songs on it and some not so great. It was nice listening to the home stereo in the comfort of our living room rather than in the car or in the barn while doing some chore.

I love the Punch Brothers and Sarah Jarosz. The sound quality of this video is outstanding... must be a soundboard recording. (I sure wish there was a similar recording of Los Lobos, who also played there that year, apparently.)

There are lots of other recordings that look really promising on their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWWkw3 ... ktQ/videos



On a separate note, I am still bummed that Live From Here is no longer living... :(

I watched all 8 hours of The Beatles - Get Back documentary on Disney+. Facsinating.

Then I watched the Alanis Morissette documentary on HBO Max. Her career has been something special.

I guess it is documentary season.

DW wanted to watch Adele One Night Only on demand, so we watched it together. I was bored silly. Adele is fine in small doses, but not for 2 hours. She kind of yells a lot. The interview with Ophra was dreadful. I’m so over listening to celebrities, who should be content with what they have, complaining about their lives or, alternatively, in the next breath, telling us how wonderful their lives are.

We just finished watching this on demand. Tony Bennet is amazing for 95 years old. How he remembers the set list and the lyrics when his Alzheimer’s is so bad, I will never figure out. We saw Tony about 10 or 12 years ago by himself and I went expecting to be bored, but I liked it a lot. He was so smooth and melodic.
Earlier in the afternoon, I listened to The Allman Brothers Band at the Fillmore East in 1971 You Don’t Love Me. I forgot how much I liked that song. Greg Allman could really play!

I'm getting motivated to set up the Christmas tree with a little instrumental picking. My wife is looking at me and providing the real motivation.

"Billy Strings came by the shop [Carter Vintage Guitars in Nashville] to lend his immense talent for some videos demonstrations. Here is Billy playing a loved but incredible 1935 Martin D-18.

Here's some more info about this great pre war Martin. "Chicago folksinger Fred Holstein bought this guitar from a taxi driver in 1970. Recent repairs by Dave Musselwhite include neckset, refret, bridge plate saver, repair rim cracks, new bridge, new nut and new saddle. There is a previously repaired headstock crack, a patch in the lower treble rim, some finish over the pickwear. Huge sound. That bears repeating: Huge sound. In an Eastman fiberglass case.""

Fwiw, regarding the listed repairs on that D-18 Martin, David Musselwhite was the head of the vintage repair department at Martin until he retired and now he works for himself.

Sweeney Todd, 2012 London cast recording.

On kind of a Sondheim kick right now (I listened to Company last week). I did Sweeney in college and didn’t think anything about the theme at the time, but listening to it now, I’m just going….what…were they *thinking* when they wrote this?

Jethro Tull and Eric Clapton.

Sadly, I neglected to see another favorite, Tom Petty. A missed opportunity.

I’ve been down a rabbit hole listening to TP’s ‘Wildflowers and All the Rest’ for the past couple of weeks. An amazing album with home studio and live versions of many of the songs, which are among the best he wrote and recorded. There’s also a great documentary available on YouTube about the recording of the album back in the mid-nineties, including interviews with the band and eccentric Producer Rick Rubin.

Never saw TP live though, which I now regret.

New find for me this weekend...and have been playing non-stop today, "Scary Goldings". Unique cover band Scary Pockets have teamed up with Jazz great Larry Goldings (Still not sure where they got the new band name :twisted: ) and released 4 albums to date. Kinda like a more accessible Medeski, Martin, Wood vibe with funky grooves and guest artists. Latest album features John Scofield (perfect for the MM&W like compositions), Mono Neon (great Prince bassist with quirky look and playing style), and others. Linking 3 from new album below:

-New Scary Goldings ORIGINAL ft. John Scofield MonoNeon & Louis Cole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1h04jYP_FU

-The Shiner | Scary Goldings (ft. John Scofield & MonoNeon): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34YsSD06_LM

-Professor Vicarious (ft. John Scofield, Mononeon & Louis Cole): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3n8MJVdtdE

Went back to listen to the 3 previous albums and could not find a bad song... :beer

Nice. I listen to this Youtube sometimes and find it very relaxing.

Great album.
Hard to believe it's been 10 years already. But there's a timeless quality to their music. I find so much of it just stunning.

Streaming Roy Orbison via Amazon Unlimited Music on my garage setup.

So mellow, another artist who left us way too early.

Beautiful evening, 73 degrees, enjoying a good cigar, just chilling.

MIPSO - Edges Run - 2018

A really fine album by another fine roots based band from North Carolina.

This track is nice: Didn’t Know Love

I'm also a sucker for the creative use of the pedal steel guitar. All Behind Me Now


73 degrees sounds mighty nice right about now. We're just getting our first dusting of freezing mist on a dank 30 degree night in southern New England.
