    Turn Around - Jonny Lang
    2006, A&M

    I can't remember the last time I listened to a complete album without ONE decent track to somewhat redeem it. This mess is full of every gimmicky beat, discordant harmony, and wandering lyric imaginable. Not worth the media it's burned on.

    (Turn) back (around) to the blues, Jonny. You've seriously lost your way.

    Peace, Love & BBQ - Marcia Ball
    2008, Alligator Records

    One of our top 5, never miss, live acts. Marcia delivers. Her duet here with Dr. John is magical--both vocally and musically. Marcia loves what she does, and it shows.

    Buddy Guy- "Breaking Out"
    Buddy Guy fans need to grab this one some of the nastiest(in a good way) guitar work i've heard on any of his albums/cds.

    Pickin' on the Allman Bros
    Pickin' on Led Zeppelin

    A bunch of talented studio musican types use intruments normally associatted with Blue Grass and play. Various professionals play different tracks. Not freelance freestyle stuff. I couldn't believe the results.
    NO, its not Deliverance style banjo boogie. Its REALLY well played and mastered.
    Intrumental, no singing and super clean recording.
    Check them out on Amazon and listen to samples. I can only speak to the two that I have. ;)

    Gentle Giant, "Octopus", tremendous recording! Engineer is Martin Rushant. Listened with some warm sake (excellent with seafood). How about specific drinks with specific music?
    Southern Comfort with Janis Joplin.

    Back when I was MUCH younger, Southern Comfort was consumed when listening to a multitude of musicians...however in the spirit...

    Allman Brothers...Jack Daniels

    Jimmy Buffett...Jose Cuervo (of course that was back in the day...he has his own brand now)

    Janes Last on "You Tube"
    James Last - Moonlight Sonata
    A compilation I made of Moonlight Sonata. It is originally made by Beethoven, but this is a remake by James Last. :)
    All his stuff is great, if you are 70& over....

    I've never heard Mr. Last's version but you don't have to be over 70 to enjoy "Moonlight Sonata." It is one of those masterpieces that never gets old regardless of the version.:) I have to look into some vinyl with Mr. Last's offerings.

    EDIT: I just googled him, he's apparently a great jazz artist . . . cool.

    David Baerwald Bedtime Stories on vinyl. Very close to the best sounding LP I own. Dead silent background and superb sonics. Direct Metal Master and Robert Ludwig mastered. Oh ya, it's a great album musically as well.

    It's tough stuff to get used to at first, Joe. It's a guy and a piano, and he's singing in German. But sometimes it expresses exactly how you feel when nothing else can. Give the Amazon 30 second blips a listen.

    The guy himself is amazing. He was born with severe thalidomide deformities, and obviously had alot to overcome. He's quite generous with charitable groups.

    Just picked up Celtic Women, Songs from the Heart. Popped it in and sounds great. Very relaxing and nice quality for a cd. Has some nice low bass on a few songs.

    I gotta tell you John, I have serveral recording both on vinyl & CD of Beethoven's ninth symphony and the choral section done in German on one of the recordings is my all time fav. It's how it was meant to be sung and it really does outshine the English versions.

    I just looked up "thalidomide deformities" my God what a horrible deformity. He must have had a heck of time overcoming it especially as a piano player. God Bless him!
