Re: What are you listening to now
You know, I have never been much of a fan of The Beatles (though a DD bought me a nice 16 CD collection of their releases). I listen to the collection occasionally.
I confess, if I were asked to name ONE song Paul McCartney has released as a solo performer, I don't think I could. I'm sure I must have heard some over the years, but they just haven't stuck with me.
I think I'll explore his offerings a bit tomorrow via Amazon Music. If nothing else he seems to have serious staying power.

Toto. 40 trips around the sun. I love listening to GREAT musicians. Folks that really know their craft. The difference in that and "pop" or "corporate" is amazing.

He plays with his trio every week and streams the live performance on facebook. He started this 35 weeks ago when the stay at home orders began. I really enjoy this group and he has different guests each week.JAZZISCOOL wrote: ↑Fri Dec 18, 2020 1:56 pmEmmet Cohen: great trio! Listening to V. 34 now.

Re: What are you listening to now
I've ordered the CD.
Today I listened to this interview with Paul early in the pandemic, 4/14/20. Interesting to hear comments about the pandemic near the beginning. Paul is as charming as ever, though Howard Stern can be a bit distracting, annoying, etc.

"Gringeaux" by Pat Keating. A Jimmy Buffet feel with Third Coast (Texas/ Louisiana) lyrics. Especially enjoy "Crackers and Gumbo", "Alligator Shoes", "Rhythm of the Metronome" and "Mailbox Money". Available on Amazon.

McCartney released quite a few hits with his band Wings, would that count? These might ring a bell: Band on the Run, Live and Let Die, Helen Wheels, Jet, Mull of Kintyre, Venus & Mars. Also some collaborations: Ebony and Ivory (Stevie Wonder), The Girl is Mine (Michael Jackson). Some better known non-Wings songs are My Brave Face, Maybe I'm Amazed, Admiral Halsey/Uncle Albert.
Of more recent vintage, I recommend the album Memory Almost Full. Good mix of some rockers and some wistful/melancholic tunes.

Re: What are you listening to now
One thing that prevents certain performers from entering ones musical space is the decline of radio listening. Streaming music allows you to listen to what you prefer.sycamore wrote: ↑Sat Dec 19, 2020 10:24 amInteresting how some bands/performers can be one person's absolute favorite but someone else's "meh"Broken Man 1999 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 18, 2020 4:42 pmYou know, I have never been much of a fan of The Beatles (though a DD bought me a nice 16 CD collection of their releases).

I have lots and lots of CDs, but there are certainly gaps in different musicians.
I tend to listen to the rockers in the 70ties, a lot of blues, and of course what my granddaughters listen to and enjoy. Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, P!NK, Florida Georgia line, etc.
I'll order your recommendation of Memory Almost Full, thanks!

Of Paul's solo albums, my favorites are Band on the Run (1973) and Tug of War (1982). Also, Pipes of Peace (1983) is particularly appropriate this time of year, as the title song remembers Christmas 1914. Nice video, in my opinion.

Re: What are you listening to now
One of my all time favorite albums. The tone that Clapton produced on that record was revolutionary. An irreplaceable Gibson Les Paul and overdriven Marshall amplifiers set the standard for rock guitar for anyone coming after. My 15 year old ears were never the same after hearing that album.
One can’t go wrong with old Yardbirds guitarists. Jeff Beck’s live shows, of which I have a few dozen, are on always my playlist. That is, when I’m not listening to Mick Taylor era Rolling Stones live shows.
Re: What are you listening to now
I was always a Stones, Kinks, Who kind of guy. A few Beatles albums did it for me - Abbey Road, The White Album. McCartney was always a little too sappy for me. I feel that he needed John Lennon in the band to roughen up the sound and lyrics. Too much pop and not enough rocking on his own.You Know What I Mean wrote: ↑Sat Dec 19, 2020 5:41 pmAfter more than 50 years, I still love The Beatles more than any other singers or groups.Broken Man 1999 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 19, 2020 11:14 amOne thing that prevents certain performers from entering ones musical space is the decline of radio listening.

Re: What are you listening to now
You're in good company. John Lennon didn't like some of Paul's "granny songs" either. However, I love them, too: the sentimental as well as the rock n roll.
