What Are You Listening To - The Reckoning

[C H Calthrop]

Funky and the guy looks like Sean Edwards.

[Futtocks]

Just finished listening to the new Pink Floyd. It sounds beautiful and 'big', but nothing has grabbed hold of me and made me sit up. Low-to-mid-tempo tracks where atmospheric guitars and keyboards wash over you, but one track merges into the next a bit too easily. I think Gilmour's just too comfortable to push the boat out, as far as songwriting goes, and he doesn't have Waters to bring the edgy*, uncomfortable side of things.

*I hate that word normally; the most vapid of showbiz adjectives when applied to a corporate meat-puppet who acts out a 'bad boy/girl' image. But it's relevant here.

Working my way through paul Rogers stuff from free onwards. Enjoyable

Highway was a very underestimated album

[Futtocks]

One for... oh, you know who you are.

Ignore the presence of Crosby & Nash in the uploader's video - they weren't in Manassas.

That's a good version of a fine tune.

 

I've always liked Golden Earring's somewhat lengthier version too.

[Futtocks]

That's a good version of a fine tune.

 

Yes, and despite what it sounds like, that's just one guitarist.

There's a British bloke called Adrian Legg who is from the same mold as Kotke but I think even better and with new tricks!

I saw Adrian Legg doing a demo of a new amp at the British Music Fair years ago. Unfortunately, he spent more time fiddling with the amp's controls than he did playing, and it still sounded awful. Good player, though.

I think the guitar playing is still a sideline to his main job as a luthier.

Stuart Duffy the Bradford Bulls football manager is a superb guitar player. He plays in a country band called the Collier Dixon Line. He uses a very similar effect to get a very realistic pedal steel effect.

[Futtocks]

The late Danny Gatton, aka the greatest unknown guitarist in the world.

I was on the Chain on Radcliffe & Maconie again today with this little gem from the late 80's

 

 

I once made up their rider for a gig at the Town & Country Club in Kentish Town!

[Robin Evans]

Saw these at the lead mill circa 86.

Went with an open mind and a big thirst. Phil jupitus did the support.

Had a good night.

[Robin Evans]

Mostly I am listening to the boy with his new toys for his guitar...

However. ... having an afternoon with Fleetwood Mac and Rory G

I've got Photo-Finish on the turntable at this very moment.

[Robin Evans]

Had the very album on earlier. Got on the boards by taste now.....

[Old Frightful]

Aside from listening to music on the radio, I haven't spent much time listening to music of a personal choice recently.

 

I decided to change this and had a gander through the Youtube vaults last night and came across a song by a band I adored in the late eighties. Don't suppose many of you will have heard of this but it's an incredibly haunting version of an old Irish folk song written around a hundred years ago.

 

Never fails to give me goosebumps, saw them perform this more than a dozen times live.
