Still listening to J.J. Gone forever but not forgotten. Ride the river.

Good choice. Always enjoyed playing his stuff when I was in college.

Danny Gatton and Buddy Emmons (with a superlative rhythm section): Redneck Jazz Explosion.

Just EXTRAORDINARY....

Right now I'm really digging this group from France.

Love me some Mingus.


I just downloaded the Stones' Exile on Main St. this morning to listen to during my commute for the next few days (no bike commuting due to weather.) I justified the purchase because: It's supposed to be one of the greatest rock albums of all time, I've been really enjoying Keith's solo stuff recently, and Sticky Fingers which came out the year before, was a fantastic album, IMO.

I'm underwhelmed so far by both the production and the songs - almost annoyed, even. Can't stand the multi-tracking of Mick's voice and the Chuck Berry throwback material wears quickly.

Tumbling Dice is the lone standout so far, but I already knew that from growing up with FM radio.

I'm only 5 songs in, so hopefully it'll get better.

Went to a great live show in Austin last weekend by Greyhounds.

Their live album is great....incredible sounds from a trio of organ/guitar/drums.

Greyhounds - Heaven on Earth

^ I dig those cats.

If you dig this style of music, or at least appreciate it, you will love this. It's by Nitin Sawhney.

Turn up the volume, and after opening the video, close your eyes right away and picture what the female singer looks like.

Then open your eyes after a minute or two...betcha do a double take.

Niki Wells is the vocals. Angelic voice.

Some serious, immensely talented musicians here. The bassist (Mohini Dey) is incredible, and still just a "kid."

Drummer reminds me of Jojo Mayer's style of play.

Sublime and thank you!

The intro to Moanin' was my ring tone for a couple years, several years ago. Love Mingus' Blues and Roots.

By my username, you can probably tell I'm a fan of Exile on Main Street. It might be an acquired taste compared to Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers, but I always loved the sprawling, primal, rock and roll and the "let's go stay in a farmhouse for a summer with a bunch of drugs and record an album" feel of it.

I owned that album shortly after it was released (1972) but I only just recently -- like, a week ago -- learned that it was recorded in 1969, during the sessions for the Stones' Let It Bleed album...ostensibly while waiting for Keith to show up.


Lately I've been listening to a lot of this Swiss instrumental band Sonar who I've described elsewhere as being the intersection set between Don Caballero and 1980s-era King Crimson, with a little Steve Reich thrown in:
