Whatcha Listening To?

[Colton]

A ton of blues on my ipod, all kinds of artists.


Really wish I was listening to a new Hurricanes album!

I've been listening to the 25th Anniversary compilation from Alligator Records. Awesome 2-disc set of blues, featuring some legendary blues artists like Koko Taylor, Etta James, Johnny Winter, Cyrus Neville, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, James Cotton, Tinsley Ellis, Billy Branch, Katie Webster and many many more. Lovin' it.

Hey Toona where did you find that? I need some more Blue material.

yeah you do!

[nakedtwister]

Lots of Blues and the new Slacker Theory
ShineDowns new CD

[REDillon]

Kings of Leon's new CD. Great CD if I could only remember the name of it.

Ah yes the Bob Dylan show. I have been listening to it almost every week for the last few years. It is, well to be honest, sometimes hard to take. I love it though mostly for his great sarcasm and stories. And that voice, wow if he could sing as smooth as he speaks. The music he plays is sometimes so cornball and old-fashioned i can't stand it. Don't know what show you heard but believe me its not all 'old blues'. Its entertaining though to say the least.
LOVE Deep Tracks most of the time. Except when they insist on playing Rennaisance and some other things I find obnoxious...Also Jam On. As far as CDs I having been groovin on Joe Strummer & Mesceleros lately. I also like a few Pearl Jam songs I recently downloaded from the Into the Wild movie. I know lots of you don't like that band but I think their lyrics are great and really their style has gone beyond the grunge that they started with. Like any band I certainly don't like all their stuff. I love Derek Trucks but heard the latest album is a departure of style for
hime....anyone hear it?

i don't think it's a departure at all, just an artist that is evolveing and not pigeon holed into anything. i mean, he pretty much covers alot of genres so to speak. it's different from his last one, in the case there isn't any of the eastern indian stuff on it, which personally, gets alittle boring to me anyway, although i can appreciate it. the new album totally kicks ass and most of the stuff he did,when you seen him at the state theatre a few months back. that show rocked!

Yeah, I don't see it as much of a departure for Derek. It's blues and R&B/soul. I happen to love his Eastern stuff, as a steel player, I can tell you he has AMAZING precision and control on that stuff. Plus it's so different, it's like opening a window on a spring day. I remember telling MJB that DT has an amazing voice for someone who never sings a note. Not his speaking voice, his VOICE.
ToonaRock, that Alligator compilation sounds awesome. I love Koko and Etta, and 'Gator has the best roster in blues recording since Chess in the 50's.
Zappa'sX, I have to try and listen to Dylan's show... my boss has really gotten me into the oldtime stuff, and Dylan is extremely knowledgeable on those songs. He's covered stuff that would have died away into obscurity without him, great songs that deserve to live on. The stuff that drives you nuts is probably the stuff I like! --->JMS

I've been listening to Demon Hunter alot lately. Not a particular album, just the last 2 studio(The Triptych & Storm The Gates Of Hell) and the Live From Nashville album. Trying to get ideas for a new project. hint,hint.

Beyond that the mood changes too much from hour to hour to even settle on a genre.
