Very cool M.R.! Really like Knopfler, and the comparison with EC on the effortlessness of his playing is a good one. There's a DVD (I think it's a Night in London or something like that) that I'd like to get. There's a couple of cuts on You Tube. I'd also like another Notting Hillbillies CD (hint, Mark)--LOL. |

and because of everything you guys went and posted above, especially M.R., in tribute to that Mark Knopfler fellow:
Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris - All The Road Running
180 gram vinyl
M - 4.8
S - 4.7
Their vocals on the 240s are like the finest of scotch, the smoothest of cigars, the softest of ...

Mark Knopfler - Shangrila
Have it on DVD-A and CD. Remarks stand for both. Could have almost got a perfect score except for two tracks I didn't like.
M - 4.8
S - 4.8
Wickedly good sound and great with the dial turned up.
Going back to the meeting with Dire Straits: John Isley came in to the bar room following a change after the concert, his hair was still wringing wet and his face was red.
I said to him, " you look really stuffed!"
He looked taken aback and replied in his accent, "I boog your poordon."
I said, "it means very tired or worn out here."
He grinned and replied, "means blooody soomfin else where I come from."
Everyone in the group broke up! |

I'm not sure how many here download this with any regularity, but I think TONE AUDIO is a pretty good read, especially give the price.

There are 21-issues to download @ about 100-megs/per. |

Billy Squire...16 strokes.
As we all know, this artist plays brash and loud.
A good chance to see how loud it gets.
M 4.2
S depends. 3-4.5 If you like it, the disc is 4.5 If you have a headache, it is worse than a crying infant next to you on an airplane...with your hangover. |

Crossroads DVD
I just went to Joe on disc 2.
The Totems are as advertised, but I am missing something.
The cdp is pretty good, but the Sony puts out very high quality bass that is addictive.
Clapton's crossroads, I just went to Joe Walsh
All bow down to Walsh.
I just love this guy.

It is slow on cd.
OK for drinking, not so much for music.
Very slow on the guitar riffs in the 100 Hz range, for some reason.
zz top to finish the show...meh. |

Billy's style is brash, yeah ok.
Pushing the speakers way into the corners didn't change the sound.

Then check out Ginger Baker's side project - Masters Of Reality - the cd called "Sunrise on the Sufferbus"
Find it and play "She Got Me" - And play it LOUD!! If that doesn't get your heart racing then you're already dead.

I'm picking up a couple more DVD-A discs (yes, they are still out there). Automatic for the People (REM) and Let's Dance (Bowie). Actually, the Bowie disc I think is SACD.
Been listening to a lot of Velvet Revolver lately. Two great albums man! Contraband sounds pretty good on the hifi, a little compressed. Libertad is a mess...good tunes but way compressed. Damn loudness wars. Slash rocks on their cover of Can't Get It Out of My Head. Epic soloing. Don't Drop that Dime is a fun way to close the album. Who's a fan here? |

Yesterday was a drizzly wet Spring day in Dallas so it was time for some (mostly) Texas music.
Willie Nelson; The Milkcow Blues CD
A 2000 release this album features headliners glad to share the stage with Willie, many for not the first or last time. Susan Tedeschi, Jimmy Vaughn, Francine Reed, B.B. King, Dr. John and Kenny Wayne Shepard contribute their talents while Willie is, as always, there to collaborate. The selections cover five decades of the music Nelson grew up with and played as a DJ as well as five of Willie's own compositions. Most importantly this is what Willie probably played at the honky tonks and fish fry's early in his career. There is an unmistakeable Texas Swing to every cut that makes this more Gatemouth Brown than Freddy King and reminds us this music was first written to get people out of their seats and dancing.

Lyle Lovett; Pontiac CD
A Texas Troubadour mixes big band jazz and alt country in his second and probably his best album. No one song leads to the next and yet all perfectly fit together. Recorded in the late '80's the CD plays heavily on its "digital" roots - the LP is better.

Waylon Jennings; The Essential Waylon Jennings CD
You'll need more than one disc to cover all of what is essential about Jennings and his music, I have several. This collection was released before Jennings became one of the music industry's favorite artists - a dead one. Pick your title if you are looking to understand Jennings career but the swampy Outlaw music from the self described "Psychedelic Cowboy" who was inflenced by Jimmie Rodgers and Buddy Holly starts here.

Albert King; The Best of Albert King CD
Well, I was looking to stay with Texas music but I came across this leg of the "King Triad" while looking through the stacks for Freddy. This CD is a favorite for both its music and its sound quality. The man who invented Blues Power and never had time for chords plays his single string attack on his own hits, covers some other's hits and plays what others will cover later. If you had never heard Big Momma Thornton's version and thought Elvis owned "Hound Dog", give King's version a try. Always inventive and always unique, King's upside down Flying "V" Gibson provides a sound not often associated with the blues, with the low E on the bottom however, huge bends and biting sound are King's trademark. Whether you want to listen or play along, Albert is one of the three Kings any blues guitarist should start with.

Dwight Yoakam; Dwight Sings Buck CD
Not exactly Texas and not exactly Bakersfield this CD has Yoakam doing what his best friend and mentor did best - acting naturally. Mr. Martin meets Mr. Telecaster presents the largest obstacle in this CD. Yoakam is best when he is in his own element creating wall of sound alt country with a half dozen different rhythms going at once. Buck never played that way. Heartfelt and worthy of a listen this one just goes to prove Owens was an original who cannot be copied.

Stevie Ray Vaughn; Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - The Real Deal: Greatest Hits 2 CD
Another case of what the music industry loves best - reissuing a dead legend's greatest hits. You have your choice of which CD to buy when selecting your "essential" SRV catalog. I haven't heard any difference between the various collections as far as sound quality is concerned since this is what SRV is supposed to sound like. None the less SRV broke from the Freddie King, Gatemouth Brown style of Texas Blues to become an influence in his own right. Brother Jimmie, who taught Stevie how to play, actually does it better but you can't not have at least one SRV album in your collection if you like the blues.
