What are you listening to ? (Music thread)

Here is your chance to let everyone know what you are listening to. Obscure or lesser known artist / record preferred but it does matter. Post it here and let us hear it too.

Ok, my first one - two English folk singers (fits into the season):

 

Kate Rusby (she has many songs and records) this is one of the better known one:

 

Ruth Notman (very distinctive voice):

Always a good song to play when counting up the money!

Ry Cooder The Concert for New Orleans

 

Edited December 30, 2021 by Aurel

@Aurel Ry Cooder is awesome. One of the most underrated guitar players in the R&B genre.

 

Was playing some tracks from my favorite French hottie  Charlotte Gainbrough for my workout today:

This is the title track from the IRM record.

I totally agree. And without him, we probaply wouldn't have Keef rocking with that 5-String Open-G-Tuning.

 

I really dig this Session, too. GE Smith solo is really good stuff.

Oh look. A thread I'm qualified to contribute to.

 

Excellent cover of the John Anderson standard by the Mekons (genre-hopping British band)

Some remote cabin music for the post holiday winter blues stretch . Went to see Gregory Alan Isakov in Ithaca this past October. Absolutely killed it! vid from the concert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrpDlrLLjCc . Felt bad for Patty Griffin who toured with him. 3/4 of the audience left before her second song....admittedly she's lost it a bit, but damn she's a legend. If you only listen to one of the artists mentioned make it Gregory Alan Isakov. You won't be disappointed. 

 

One for you when you're forced to go back to the office

@Spekulatius A real hottie  Have tickets for this coming Feb. She's touring with the guy from the Civil Wars before they broke up.

Open G and double drop D are my favs.

 

Peter Frampton used a few odd tunings that he said he got from George Harrison.

Joni Mitchell is the queen of guitar tunings,

Do you play the dulcimer? She uses that a lot on the Blue album.

She's terrific and a talented actress as well!  I would recommend anything with Karen O and Danger Mouse as well.  Arguably one of the great front women of all time...formerly of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.  Cheers!

Yes, Open-G sounds very country-ish.

 

Love the double drop D like on "Ohio" from Neil Young.

 

Ever tried DADGAD-Truning? It's quite fun.

Last song at the last concert I attended. Going was a birthday gift from my daughter,

 

 

[Spekulatius]

@boilermaker75 Oh man, this sound like fun. They are a bit stiffer and the voices aren’t as crisp as they were in younger years, but these grandpas are still rocking.

 

I am a big fan of Pete Townshends solo work. The record “ White city” is one I like and used to play often. It’s got a sharp bite but also tunes that stay with you. Back on my playlist it is:

I put back a lot of her catalogue on my playlist after I watched the movie “Coda” (which is a great movie). Ironically, I didn’t know the song “Both sides now” before. I was familiar with her later work “Hejira” and of course “Blue” and others . Many of songs are pure genius and there really is no one quite like it.

@Spekulatius 

Daltry’s voice is gone. He sang Won’t Get Fooled Again too many times! 

 

https://youtu.be/NRnstfQGyDc

 

But it was still fun. Townshend can still play the guitar, but he cannot jump anymore. I don’t know if he got both feet off the ground whenever he tried to!

 

I am a huge Who fan, so I don’t know why I am not more familiar with Townshend’s solo work. I am going to give White City a listen. Thanks for the recommendation.

That's right up my alley! I recently got a Studiologic Numa 2 organ, and have finally found a great Hammond B3 instructor. He started out as a drummer and brings a percussive aspect to the organ. Our first lesson revolved around thinking of the keys as a set of bongos for some great percussive slap techniques.

 

Will also be continuing jazz proficiency with my old classical instructor.

 

Stoked for the new year!!!

 

I might actually be worth playing with in another year...
