John Hammond: Rough & Tough





Raw Blues, raw acoustic and slide guitar and harmonica - a great combination when well put together, as it is here.

*Any fans of H.E.R. here?

I remember seeing her and her band perform on a talk show sometime ago and decided to see if I could find it on youtube and think that I did.  I also found some other performances some of which I watched.

Her music is (or seems at this point to me anyway) to be kind of a combo of R&B and jazz.  I quite enjoy her thoughtful songs, singing and she plays a variety of instruments too.  Here's a link to a Tiny Desk Concert that I've watched and thoroughly enjoyed:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxxcEzM8r-4

*If so, any favorite songs or albums?

Jacques Brel - Marieke (1961)

v/a - "The Red Flower of Tachai Blossoms Everywhere" (1972)

Collective Soul, Vibrating.  Old fogey rockers deliver eleventh studio album and give youngsters what for.

Stevie Nicks: Bella Donna





This is a good album. I like her voice a lot and I like her storytelling style of songwriting.

Yes, she creates wonderful narratives. 

I can't see your image Todd.  What album were you listening to?

The Mountain Goats, Bleed Out

Don't know them, but thank you for responding.

Don't know them, but thank you for responding.

I didn't either until I listened to this.  So-called "indie rock" (I don't know what that is really), it is inspired by 70s and 80s era action flicks, though not in a heavy way.  Not bad.  This is their 21st album.

[Dry Brett Kavanaugh]

Great!

"Sixteen years..." are the opening lyrics of Street Legal, referring to the time from his first album in 1962 to this in 1978.

Its now sixty years since that first album.

Featuring Ice-T because, you know, it had to.

Neil Young: Sugar Mountain





This is my first time to hear this album. It is a live recording made in 1968. It is just Young and his acoustic guitar. I like it a lot but then I tend to like early Young.
