What are you listening to right now???

[JohnVee]

Growing up, I never could have imagined that I'd eventually work with some of the artists that I admired as a kid. I guess I got lucky. Maybe my job doesn't suck.

Signed to Motown. All white guys. Wow.

Never worked with Dusty, but this is just too cool to leave off.

@JohnVee Live at the Greek is outstanding - I have it on vinyl.

I posted the LZ version of that particular song because, frankly, Chris Robinson's voice doesn't hold up on that song as well as it does on the rest of the album.

Yep, it wavers a bit on that record, but the band nails it.

@JohnVee Since I know you're an organ fan, here's one of my favorites:

That makes me want to dig out some Deep Purple. Jump to 2:10 for the wizardry. Nobody combined organ and guitar in a band like these guys did.

 

[JohnVee]

Some of you have no idea of who or what this is. Some of you right recognize the two white guys from The Blues Brothers. All of you need to have respect for what they were doing. I'd never seen this footage until now and I'm amazed at how much more they rocked this this song than they did on the original version. This is playing at my funeral. Booker T.

 

[JohnVee]

I'm not a fan of anything original I've ever heard from the Foo Fighters, but this video is simply awesome! This could have turned out so many different ways - I can't stop smiling for good 'ol Brian.

Love vibes in jazz music:

Got some free tickets from my co-worker to go see Josh Ritter in Durham on THU, today. I guess I better listen to his music tonight and check it out

I don't know who Josh Ritter is but I know that Theatre well. Never seen a show from the seats, though. Maybe Satriani next month.

There's a lot of good Americana / folk / folk-rock bands out today, but there are none better than The Band:

@weejub Great song; heard it tonight on the radio which is what sent me down the rabbit hole. Here's a cover of another great song from The Band, by a great modern band (Punch Brothers):

 

[mtweller]

I'm a HUGE fan of "The Band". In fact, if Emma and I had decided to have children I was going to name my son Levon. Hate that I was too young to ever have seen them live, but have really enjoyed Levon's Dirt Farmer and many The Band songs are regulars on my playlist. I think I've seen and read everything out there about them.

Ignore the actual video, enjoy the music.

 

[mtweller]

Dig it! Immediately took me here:

 

[tgadd]

Really good cover.

 

[JohnVee]

@mtweller I've touted Carey Sims before as an incredible voice and songwriter. Never thought to post his stuff. Check out this tune or "Last Cowboy". He's a Charlotte guy.

 

[mtweller]

That's tight John, thanks for sharing.

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands.

Not the actual music video just a fan made one using scenes from horror movies.
