Sound of Summer - The Very Best of the Beach Boys
It's time for a reunion concert now that the name use lawsuits have been settled. -
Jimi Hendrix - The Complete Winterland Concerts-bootleg.
Can't believe there is a blizzard going on here in Illinois. 5 inches already and another 3-6 on the way. Blowing, sleeting and generally nasty. Thought I'd throw in some Hendrix jams and enjoy the forum this afternoon.

Jimi Hendrix - Cherokee Mist- studio outtakes
Great quality alt. and unreleased versions of songs, partial songs and jams. Hendrix and his associates were genius's. Most of this stuff is so far ahead of it's time it's not funny. The fun with Hendrix's music beyond his commercial hits is just listening to endless jams. How they develop, meander and unfold is pure magic. This is true music without all the excess and pressure. Free flowing, from the soul.

A blues fan's heaven.

5. Blues Jam #2 (Part 1)

8. It's My Own Fault
Fantastic historical document. I had to laugh because BB King states at one point he's 42 years old and he can do what he wants. 1968 seems like a long time ago. It's hard to believe he's 82 today. This was when Jimi was playing on the "chittlin' circuit". He used to jam with a lot of people before he became "famous".

The Raveonette's - Lust, Lust, Lust. Same old Phil Spector wall of sound with more distortion and more sex. Grab it and thank me later.I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

Danny what is it about the Japanese pressing that is special.
This CD has a couple of bonus remixes; bonus tracks are often added onto Japanese version when released over there. However, I was informed that the domestic US CD also featured the same tracks. So, in other words, there shouldn't be any difference between the Japanese and the US versions. -

Pinetop Perkins - The Complete Hightone Sessions
2003, Hightone Records, CD
Unquestionably the master of boogie woogie piano--but, his vocals just knock me out. The real deal for blues lovers.
BTW - At age 95, he has a new album due out in June and just won a Grammy for "Last of the Great Mississippi Delta Bluesmen: Live in Dallas." That just makes me smile.

Tinsley Ellis - Fire It Up
1997, Alligator ALCD 4852, CD
I think this offering by The Highwayman showcases the unique flavor of his vocals. Great mix of timings and tones as well. -

I had the privilege of seeing him at his 90th birthday bash at Antones here in Austin.He is great to see in person . Hubert Sumlin also played with a couple others i can't recall. Great show.:D:D -

Cherryholmes. I'm not any kind of fan of bluegrass, on the contrary, my library is mostly METAL, but there is SOMETHING about this group?
