November 20, 20223 yr Dear America Eric Bibb 2021 https://album.link/i/1600469612 Example: Sunday Blues - and happy about it. A good dynamic album by Bibb. Plays with sounds and vibes all the time.
November 22, 20223 yr Rory Gallagher (50th Anniversary Edition / Super Deluxe) Rory Gallagher 1971 https://album.link/i/1557237649 Example: A very solid classic Album. Now, I have not finished the 3.5 hours of this version of the album. But, enough to know that the boy could play, and was taken too young (47).

November 23, 20223 yr Weyes Blood - And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow I like this enough that I bought tickets to see her when her tour comes through town in March next year.

At these record shows, sometimes you get a nice guy that’s more interested in selling off stuff so they have the space and don’t need to bother bringing stuff home lol. I lucked out - essentially half of “market value” (Discogs) Edited November 23, 20223 yr by recstar24
November 24, 20223 yr Back the Way We Came: Vol. 1 (2011 - 2021) Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds 2021 https://album.link/i/1561288142 Example: So I was watching the Roger Waters video (in another thread) about a bunch of musicians signing a guitar. And Noel Gallagher popped up. Hmmm Noel Gallagher, Noel Gallagher sounds familiar. Quick tidal search and I get Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. Ah that guy from Oasis. Let's see what he has been up to. Turns out, pretty good stuff if you like his stuff. Turns out, it is stuff I like.
November 26, 20223 yr Lost In The New Real Arjen Anthony Lucassen 2012 https://album.link/i/1045223147 Example: Still a little distracted by the album cover (looks like Thomas Dolby album to me). One of his few solo efforts, it carries all the hallmarks of Arjen's work. An hour and a half of a big story to tell us something simple. Enjoyable.
November 26, 20223 yr Black Friday record store day pickup! Not the biggest captain beefheart fan but this is a cool title and pressing
November 29, 20223 yr Okay - everybody... Just slow your roll..... The Art Of Tea Michael Franks 1976 https://album.link/i/484683051 Example: I didn't know how much I needed my roll slowed until I listened to this album this afternoon. Well recorded and smooth in the vein of Steely Dan. I'm good now... ... and with lyrics like this (from Eggplant): "When my baby cooks her eggplant She don't read no book She's got a Gioconda kinda of dirty look And my baby cooks her eggplant About 19 different ways Sometimes I just have it raw with mayonnaise" I am not sure what he is talking about, but I am pretty sure it is not eggplant. And the album has the now jazz standard of Popsicle Toes. Edited November 29, 20223 yr by mikeymad

Aja - Steely Dan) Doug Lionel Sax - mastering engineer (ex. The Wall - Pink Floyd) I keep going back to different tracks and just listening to them. Fun find for me.

And the album has the now jazz standard of Popsicle Toes. Listening now. Enjoying the subtle underlying groove and lyrics. Smooth is definitely the word.
November 30, 20223 yr I had to look this one up. Hans Krasa was a CZech composer that was sent to Theresienstadt Ghetto where he was most productive as a composer. He ended up dying in Auschwitz at 45. I like it and will be listening to this one more. Although its his own personality that comes through, it definitely has a Shostakovich feel to it at times which is a good thing.
November 30, 20223 yr In memoriam Christine McVie Christine McVie 1984 https://album.link/i/358040564 Example: Everything about this song makes me cry. Her lovely voice, the fat keyboard solo, the lyrics. Just a great song. Thx Christine.
December 1, 20223 yr ^^ that has me thinking of other albums that turned 50 - I will have to explore. Now: Fate of a Dreamer (Expanded Edition) Ambeon 2011 https://album.link/i/1317040112 Example: One of the many projects of Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon, Star One, his solo work (above)). This seems to be built around singer Astrid van der Veen. A nice collection of vocal tracks with prog feel. This larger release has interesting acoustic versions as well.
December 2, 20223 yr 2 hours ago, blessingx said: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) That was my intro to The Flaming Lips. I had the pleasure of seeing them while they were touring promoting Oczy Mlody. It was a small venue, so an intimate experience. Oddly, sponsored by the Winnipeg Jazz Festival. That's fine, I'll take them whoever is bringing them to town. The best part was that I brought my 16 year old daughter to her first rock show. Damn, they did not disappoint!
December 3, 20223 yr ^^ I have used that in the past - the 8.5 hour version. I have not risked it while driving. 😴
