What are you listening to?

This guy is really hot, played at Coachella, Stagecoach, and New Orleans Jazz Festivals. He's everywhere it seems lately.

Big article in Rolling Stone. He's just kind of different and it reminds me of what happened at the old Armadillo, back in the 70's and 80's.

Reminds me somewhat of Waylon but still different. And I' always partia; to a lead guitarist playing a tele - wish I could make mine sound like that
 
I was inspired by personal events to listen to a little C&W this evening and these cuts are what I am listening to now including:

WM's post got me in a country mood too. I played this a little while ago and it sounded great at loud volume.

 
Both I think, I got the single and then the whole tape. Hadn't thought about it in a long time, till Dion mentioned them.
 
Went back to old school yesterday and was listening to probably my overall favorite group from the 60's.

I am listening again today and here are 4 of my favorite cuts. Check out the sound of the 12 string Rickenbacker guitar that McGuinn plays. Tom Petty has credited the Byrd's with inspiring his much of his music. Much of the soundtrack from the 1969 movie Easy Rider was by the Byrds.

The Byrds: Members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Roger McGuinn
David Crosby
Gene Clark
Chris Hillman
Michael Clarke
Gram Parson (came along a little later).

I picked the HD or High Quality versions:









One of my favorites from the Easy Rider Soundtrack:

If we collectively opened a dive bar it would have the best jukebox or music playing in, like, the Worlds.
 
Feeling more aggressive today. This was stuck in my head and now I can release it at great volume here in the house. Speakers and air guitar getting a workout.

 
Rest in Peace, Randy Rhoads...you talented and magical son of a ***** you. May your golden fingers and enchanting fretwork fall upon angelic ears (upright or fallen).


 
Originally by the Shirelles, perhaps.
I've had the refrain bubbling up for awhile. Then with the help of my friend in Duck Soup, he ID'd it.

Joplin should have sung that

The band named for a women's temperance movement, in a western movie, was a big deal when I was at UT. Though they had started years before the early 80's. At this time they had a young guy with long locks, from Oklahoma, as the lead singer and guitar man, named Vince Gill.

Here's the big song going on from them then. Bonus of a time capsule "Solid Gold," top ten. This could have been on the tv show thread.

I know what a big fan of the Solid Gold Dancers snek is, so I'm sure he can appreciate this. Looking at those big haired princess candidates for him, back then.
 
Thank you guys for the education as well as refresher on several of these posts. Smith, eh? So that's who sings that song. And NB, ty for the history lesson. That was new to me and well, I like it!
 
The group Smith was a one hit wonder... it was a big hit at the time and the lead singer chick got a lot of attention, but unfortunately they did not last. Good memories from that time, about mid - August to mid - October 1969... right when the UT football team was taking care of business toward the road to a NC season.:hookem:
 


Too many George Strait songs to choose from for me, as a favorite. But I sure do like this one as a summation of his great career.

I was there, when as a young troubadour, he rode in on a song. Being in the same age range as George, I identify with that song and what it means. I remember well when he was playing Gruene Hall and The Broken Spoke, in the late 70's.

Told James White, the owner of the Spoke, that guy is pretty good, he may make it big some day.

The song that he rode in on was this one in 1980, and yes I have that album. I bought it in Austin, as a student at UT.




 
Dylan and Joplin were and are music legends, but sometimes I couldn't understand a word they were singing. I always thought one day, they would do a duet and see who could be more undecipherable.

When a young Faith Hill covered this Joplin hit, it's the first time I knew what the song was about.
