    Gracias...

    Up for me so far today...

    Big Head Todd and the Monsters' "Sister Sweetly"
    shack's mention of a new BHT as a CD of the year nominee reminded me how much I like this one...

    Blind Melon - self titled
    Bought it for "No Rain" as most did... Rest is very different from that track and OK-ish to somewhat interesting...

    Beach Boys - "Pet Sounds"
    Something has to tide me over until I get "Smile"...
    More later,
    Tour...

    Blind Melon - Soup is the one to check out. Nico has some pretty good stuff as well. A great talent tragically cut short.

    The Left Banke - "There's Gonna be a Storm"
    A couple klunkers, but also has a lot more here than "Walk Away Renee' " and "Pretty Ballerina" going for it...

    Portishead - "Portishead"
    Not up to the level of "Dummy", but not bad...

    Mott the Hoople - "All the Young Dudes"
    I consistantly foget how great this album is until the first notes hit my ears... another of the 50 or so in my all-time top 20...
    "Hi there... Your friendly neighborhood **** come to take you for a ride...."

    Keb' Mo' - Keep It Simple

    IMO the best from the best contemporary blues artist out there. Fire this one up on your SDA's and leave your body, and your worries, behind.

    BMDP,
    Seems like every gathering I've been to lately someone is spinning one Keb CD or another. Just ordered his self-titled.

    Spent Friday evening listening to Hamilton Loomis at a local club, Cactus Moon. The kid is growing up. Voice has gotten stronger. His guitar work is still astounding. And his stage presense is something to behold.

    Now has what he calls his "little guitar", which is what it is. It's about a half-scale job that was custom made for him in Austin out of walnut by Chip Todd... just gorgeous.
    jrcactusmoon.jpg

    Spent much of today with my freshly autographed copy of his latest CD, "Kickin' It". Great stuff... his best effort of the three I now own.

    He's been expanding his travels yearly. I definitely recommend you look for him in your area....
    http://www.hamiltonloomis.com/

    Found a small write up on him at AMG... DId not realize he had two CD's prior to the three I own (all autorgraphed) and his first, "Hamilton", was Grammy nominated...

    Just ordered it.
    More later,

    Keb' Mo' - Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues

    Like the blues? Grab this one. From the opening contemporary genius of "Soon As I Get Paid" through brilliantly personalized covers of such blues standards as "Come On In My Kitchen" and "It Hurts Me Too" KM breathes new life and excitement into a true American art form.

    Several tracks are HDCD, all are superbly engineered and mastered.

    BMDP,
    Probably won't see Ham your way until late spring or summer (although you will hear him much sooner.... I promise). Spending most of the winter in the south... TX, NM, etc. This spring he's booked a a couple weeks in the UK. and is hoping to add some continent dates as well.
    He did do some East Coast gigs this past summer, and I think it included one Baltimore area date.

    Anyway you won't have to go further than my sig to keep track, but if you e-mail him, you can get on the monthly schedule mailing list.

    Listening wise Monday... After more plays of "Kickin' It"...

    My new, Eric Clapton - "Slowhand", SACD... Thanks, Jesse. The Stereo hybrid track is very nice.

    The Flying Burrito Brother's "Farther Along: The Best of..."
    Have never really been a fan with my only exposure being their "Last of the Red Hot Burritos", a so-so effort, but many say this group is where country rock began, so this was a WTH buy. And it turns out that I am pleased that I made it.

    In addition to some fine, original songs (mostly by co-founders Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman), there are some excellent covers including: "Wild Horses", "Dark End of the Street" and, even the BeeGee's, "To Love Somebody".
    More later,
    Tour...

    Can't keep it out of the CDP transport. This one has GOT to be the 2004 Grammy winner for blues.

    You know, I don't think I have ever contributed to this thread...not sure why. I work from home and listen to music almost all of the time while working, so here we go.

    Today, so far

    The Smiths - "Rank" (their live CD from the late 80's)

    Tito and Tarantula - Tarantism - For you fans of blues rock you should check these guys out if you don't know them. They rock...did alot of the music for Robert Rodriguez's films "From Dusk 'Til Dawn" and "Desperado..." including the tune that Salma Hayek dances (but unfortunately doesn't strip) to in "Dusk".

    Just ordered my 1st Keb... his self-titled... I imagine I'll be getting more.

    Today's line-up...

    Robbie Robertson's self-titled
    Keeps jumpin' back in the player...

    A couple new Arrivals in today's mail:
    Hamilton Loomis' "Hamilton"
    From 1997... 1st release by a very young Ham. Young voice and a little more "showey" on the guitar than he is now. Still, good stuff with nice work with Bo Diddley on "I Know Bo Diddley"... At the end of the song Bo says to HL, "You wanna know somethin'? I'm scared of you..." :cool:

    Howlin' Wolf "Bluesmaster"
    Budget label compilation disc. Very good sampler from one of the greats...
    More later,
    Tour...

    Saw him on Austin City Limits last night and just had to break out the CD.

    Forever Blue is up next with my favorite Isaak track... "Somebody's Crying".
