Reminds me of the time I saw Starship at the Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ, must have been 1990 or so. Sparse crowd, walked right up to the outdoor stage with my 6-month-old daughter in hand. Was Jack, Paul, Marty Balin, Craig Chaquico, Skip Batten, Papa John - no Grace or Jorma. Quite a far throw from the crowds they used to play in front of.
Unfortunately i have been listening to myself over and over
my band is recording a CD and after laying out a few reasonable tracks i have to choose one or two to send back to the sound engineer . i listen to my track without the other instruments to make my final decision . i figure if it can stand up on its own then it should be good enough when all the other tracks are in.
we play vaguely folkish alterna-rock
when not listening to myself i am listening to Opeth on vinyl
The Best of Led Zeppelin (Vol. 1 Early Days & Vol. 2 Latter Days)...This stuff is as Fantastic and Powerful as ever...It doesn't get any better (or more influential) than this.

Still can't believe how awesome this is:
New Chance Blues, version by Punch Brothers nominated for a Grammy
The Mountain: Steve Earle and The Del McCoury Band
Excellent musicianship throughout, especially by Ronnie McCoury and Earle on mandolin. This is a 'must have album' for mandolin players IMO.

Lucinda Williams: West...Unsuffer Me at high volume on the high-end Sennheiser headphones while sitting in my favorite easy chair and drinking my third Victory Storm King Stout...All is right with the world.
...And now on to the Matt Flinner Trio's Music du Jour...Oh my! (These guys are off the hook!)

This has been spinning in my CD player for several weeks, but today while waiting for my wife who is delayed by an hour, I had the opportunity to listen to this with no distraction. Exquisite and superlative.

The Mandolin Cafe MP3 player...Stellar as always!
If you're a fan of rock, do yourself a favor...If you haven't heard it yet, open the Cafe MP3 player and listen to the first track, Jason Hagen's rendition of Tubular Bells. Oh yea...That's what I'm talkin' about!

and; I never tire of this one:
Old and in the Gray...Grisman, Pederson, Rowan, Clements and Bryn Bright.
I just got this one in the mail today. After listening to their CD of Early Scottish Music I wanted to hear more from this group. Highly recommend if you like the (really) old sounds.
...
Chris Hillman and Herb Pedersen: Live @ Edwards Barn
Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band: Legacy
Darrell Scott: A Crooked Road
Jakob Dylan: Women + Country
Justin Townes Earle: Midnight at the Movies and Harlem River Blues
The Avett Brothers: I and Love and You
The mandolin work by Chris Hillman is tasteful. And Greg Leisz plays a wonderful pedal steel on the Jakob Dylan CD.

Supersuckers!
