Ah, a BeoSound 2. I have an entire B&O system, my second such since college. The first lasted me twenty+ years and my current one I've had since 2004. "My tastes are simple. I like the best of everything!" :up

Listening to John Prine.
Took my kids to his concert a couple of weeks ago.
Great band and great songs.
John Prine is great.Quote:

today I'm listening to Blue Oyster Cult's first album as I type this.
I have a good friend who's into Townes Van Zandt, so I made up a playlist of albums by Townes, John Prine, and James Taylor. I try to like Prine's earlier work, but much of it isn't to my taste. However, when he has a good one, it's good. I think is latest album is great. I have to admit that I'll have to listen more to Townes to appreciate him if I can. I already love James Taylor, especially the first five albums and then the last five albums of original material.
Been listening to some Tele twangin'. And who better than Roy Buchanan to listen to? (Delbert ain't half bad, either!)

today feels like a U2 day to me, going to walk down their discography ( i only have 2 of their albums). For this reason alone I find Spotify worth it.

This is Rush on Spotify
:yah:
Turns out a young guy (20 years old) at work is a B.B. King fan. After listening to a video clip on YouTube, I went looking for more, and came across this 1993 show with B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, and Jeff Beck. Whew!
https://youtu.be/CpyO7xmeugI
Oh, here is the clip he had playing when we started chatting. Jeff Healey's playing with B.B. King and others is incredible!

Fave recent song is Sunflower Bean's "Come for Me."

So, as I am always seeking new and old stuff to listen to on my car stereo, I am currently educating myself with the odd 60s-period Zappa stuff.
I got his pre-1970 albums and am listening to them all. Then I'll start the 70s stuff.
Reminds me of this pic I took of the men's room at a pub I usually gig at:

In August I read the new SRV book. I have his concert DVD's and box set, and went back and bought all his studio albums and listened to them as I read through the book.
This week I started looking back at Eric Clapton's career and ordered his Blues Breakers album, Eric Clapton, 461 Ocean Blvd, EC was Here, The Road to Escondido.

Great one!!
Dirty Angels - Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye. This song was a hit back in the mid-70's. My buddy Charlie Karp was in the band although I wouldn't get to know him for many years. I still remember hearing "Tell Me" on the radio while sitting in traffic on the Tappan Zee Bridge. I dug it then, too!

I've been listening to a lot of newer bands and performers, including Local Natives, Sam Fender, The Weeks, The National, Tame Impala, etc.
Rock is very much alive--this kind ain't SRV or hair guitar. I guess what I'm listening to would be considered indie? I don't know. It's good music.
Good ones!
Willie, have you checked out Rival Sons, Orchid and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club? Pretty good ones too.
Whoa, I didn't know those guys! Listening right away!Quote:

Oh there was a Guitar World forum? Cool, I never knew that. I wish I had enrolled too. I loved that magazine back in the 90s.Quote:

Marc Cohn and the Blind Boys of Alabama - "Work to Do" - a really cool live album. More keyboards than guitar, but hey....
Eric Gales! Wow!

Joe Walsh "The smoker you drink, the player you get" Haven't listened to that since I had it on vinyl, I think.
forgotten how much I enjoyed it

I was testing a new set of headphones (Bose 700s) and put this album on. One of my all-time favorites but I hadn't listened for a long time. Awesome recording - great songs. https://scontent.fbed1-1.fna.fbcdn.n...73&oe=5E0261B5
Inspired by a Facebook post, I'm re-visiting one of my all-time favorite bands of the 60s and 70s: Steppenwolf. To my surprise, still going strong today.
And check out the Ric!

Been revisiting Ravi Shankar's Ragas these last couple of days. Soothing and epic at the same time, I especially recommend his "Living Room sessions".

I rediscovered this album this morning. Saw this band at a free concert in in Baltimore Inner Harbor a number of years ago and they RAWKED! Good tunes!
Learning and practicing Robert Johnson's Crossroads today so I was listened to this a good bit.

I've been listening to a lot of indie pop rock lately. Tonight I was digging Creature Comfort's "Am I Dreaming," Illiterate Light's "Better Than I Used To," Wilco's "Love is Everywhere"--great melodic songs. Good arrangements, well-written and -produced stuff.
