Started with some jazz replay from yesterday...
Moved onto a couple of different Mozart piano concertos... if you're seen Amadeus, you've heard them...
Then...
Seatrain - Seatrain (new purchase of their "other" self-titled LP arrived in today's mail)... was OK-ish (LOVE the other "other")
Joe Ely - "Live at Liberty Lunch" a wonderful old Austin, Tejas club... If you like Ely, or want to, this may be the best intro to him... Very good stuff....
"Musta Notta Gotta Lotta.... Sleep Last Night"
Chilling to a little Pretenders - "The Isle of View" their "unplugged" release...More later,
Tour...

Robinella & The CC Stringband - self titled
OK - I've got to do a little plug for this one. A local band made up University of Tennessee Knoxville grads. I saw them live and found out they had a CD released nationally in 2003. Sort of bluegrass with jazz influences (laid back bluegrass). Very, very nice. The lead singer has a unique voice that is pleasing...not your typical Loretta Lynn TN voice, but closer to Alison Krauss. Band is excellent and the recording is superb!
Our other locals have made their mark (good or bad) and millions...that being Kenny Chesney and Dolly Parton. I'd like to see this band do well. Go and check them out and maybe buy their CD. Available thru BMG for those members. It may not be for everyone's tastes ...but I like them."Just because youre offended doesnt mean youre right." - Ricky Gervais
"For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible." - Stuart Chase
"Consistency requires you to be as ignorant today as you were a year ago." - Bernard Berenson -
Hey, I've still got BMG freebies to burn, so I'm in...
Started the day (late) with:
The Tubes ... great album cover, but AMG's link is crossed some old salsa cover.. or something...
EDIT: Found another...
Now on... Seatrain's 2nd self-titled (GREAT STUFF being readied for loan).
as opposed to yesterday's 1st self-titled, which was a bit dissappointing, but needs at least one more spin to double check.
... and to be followed by their 3rd album...
Been a while between spins of this'n, so will have to get back to you on the results of the search for filler...
More later,
Tour...

Without a doubt, one of the great, live RnR albums of all time...
And at about 10 dB below reference levels... Now all I need are the drugs and sex...
EDIT: Does 98 dB +/- 2 = 10 bD below ref level???
EDIT2: and CDP is set on "Repeat Disk"...:D

Very good listen... Moved onto Bela Fleck's "Tales form the Acoustic Planet"... again, mellow stuff for the day after the night before...
Next... him with his Flecktones "Three Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".... back with the electric banjo... picking up the pace alittle, without going crazy...
This is the one Bela to try if you want to test his waters...More later,
Tour...

Robben Ford - Supernatural
One of his best efforts, with Michael McDonald - excellent engineering and mix by Susan Rogers. HDCD -
Roomful of Blues - Watch You When You Go
Let your SDA's show you what they're capable of. HDCD -
The Derek Trucks Band - Joyful Noise
Perhaps the best slide player alive today. Solomon Burke's vocals will make a blues lover out of anyone. -
You guys play a lot of music I've never heard and probably won't have the chance to.
Lately, I've been coming back to the B.B. King 20th Century Masters Millenium Collection I picked up for cheap. I wouldn't say it's all that great of an album overall but it's definitely making me want to get more B.B. King.SDA-2a, Anthem Pre-2L, Anthem Amp 1, MF A324 DAC, Rotel RCD1070

NP'ing :Stravinsky's Firebird suite/Atlanta Symphony a above average performance and clean engineering giving the 10b's a little work out this a.m..
BTW, dcarlson, if your looking for a really good intro to B.B.King pick up "Blue on the Bayou" it's a studio album but extremely well done and has the Classic BB sound. -
Now onto Dan Fogelberg 'The Innocent Age' on LP
'Leader of the Band' is one of my faves...
