Share some music thread

[DrW]

In another thread a while ago, we touched on the topic of violinists in rock. Here is another one, Don 'Sugercane" Harris, with his short-lived band "Pure Food and Drug Act". They just had one album, "Choice Cuts", with an interesting cover of "Eleanor Rigby" (sorry, no video).

This is pretty cool...a different version of Dylan doing "Hurricane". A little slower...love Emmylou's harmonies...kinda cute the way she obviously doesn't feel comfortable using the "n" word...or maybe she just didn't know all the lyrics.  Great song....not sure if I like this better than the more famous version, but its pretty great.

I don’t know what’s more beautiful, the woman or the voice. Thankfully, it’s a package deal.

Scott is the nephew of a friend/client. He does some interesting stuff and Morgan sure can sing.

Scott Bradlee and Puddles the Clown can both kiss my ass.  Stop freaking stealing and repurposing songs that never needed repurposing.   Just my 2 cents

I don’t understand the success of Puddles the Clown, but I really enjoy PMJ and what Scott Bradlee has put together. I’d much rather hear musicians and singers of their caliber repurpose songs than say, the cast of Glee, who now have more Top 10 songs than the Beatles, Stones and Elton John combined. Now that’s a travesty.

 

And, Pooj, if you’re watching the video that I posted and focusing on Scott Bradlee and not, the angel who fell to Earth, Morgan James you need to reassess your priorities. ?

I have no idea who Puddles the Clown is.

 

But while I don't like everything Bradlee does, he has improved a vast number of the trite pop tunes he's covered.  Unlike sampling and remixes (you OK with those?) he completely reworks/rearranges (not repurposed) the songs. So while they retain the lyrics and bare bones, his versions are far different from the originals. I have little use for most covers that simply play the tune as the original artist performed them.  BTW, unlike many samples, he gives full credit to the actual songwriter. 

 

Perhaps I feel this way, because I'm a jazz fan. Reworking songs in a particular style has always been quite accepted in jazz.  Some of the best jazz tunes are reworked standards from other songwriters. My biggest complaint about Bradlee is his choice of material to improve. While he succeeds, much of the  original material is pretty freaking ordinary, IMO.

They weren't always so accessible. There are precedents of bands going  from pretty hard stuff to catchy stuff. For instance.

GREAT stuff, Bull.

 

Here's three degrees of Grisman. Wasserman is just incredible. 

 

The classic Quartet:

 

The classic Quintet. Side note, I slipped some mushrooms to Anger and Marshall (violinist and second mandolin) at the Tralf between sets back in the 80s:

 

 

 

And something quite a bit newer:

Truly incredible stuff. Thanks Dean. I'm actually trying to learn Tony Rice's clawhammer guitar style now.

The quality of that OneMic recording series is incredible. Do you happen to know if that's on a bluray or some other uncompressed source? I'd like to add that to my test tracks for my hifi setup.

I really don't know anything about it. I was just going to post the two Grisman tunes and fell into that. I plan to check it out this week. Tony Rice is just awesome, IMO.

He was supposed to play Austin City Limits with Jason Isbell (another fav of mine) in August before covid. I'm super bummed about it.

 

Love Tommy Emmanuel too.

The perfect song to sing along too while driving with dead bodies in your trunk lol.

Really digging this "new" Rolling Stones track, with Jimmy Page guesting on guitar.  It is actually an outtake from a 70's session. The video is a little goofy, but the music sounds great...love Keith's "harmonies"...

This came up on Spotify over the weekend and hadn't heard it in 30 years...great tune.
