Hi Janese. You know the world is full of wonderful music and artists, but we all have some that are "special" to us. I'm happy for you that you'll get to see Bon Jovi! How many times will this be for you? Not enough probably.

And to Rienny, Back To The Island is  one of my all time favorite songs too. You will no doubt remember this one from the same album. JJ Cale is playing guitar on this one. Looks like it's going to be another Leon day around here as I just pulled out my treasured vinyl Will O' The Wisp.

Hi Glenda,

Leon Russell is really great.  He'll be at Summerfest this year here in Milwaukee.  I may get to see him.  There are just so many great artists and it's hard to see them all.

Right now I'm listening to nothing but Bon Jovi in preparation for the concert on May 21st.

J.

Hi

I wanted to stop and say thank you for the time and effort that you put into this post.  There were some great performances in here.

I will take the time to listen to them all as I have the chance.  It's Only Make Believe still gives me a chill to hear..  he was amazing  and that is the best performance  of Cyndi's. 

Thank you for taking the time to post these.  They were a reminder of the country rock music I listened to before I moved off to the great rock bands later.  It is great to enjoy a whole variety of music.

Piano -

Huey ("Piano") Smith & the Clowns:  Don't You Just Know It, Rockin' Pneumonia, Second Line.

'Fess (Professor Longhair) :    Tipitina, Big Chief, etc.

Alan Toussaint: There's a Certain Girl ("What's her name? I caan't Tell ya"), Mother-In-Law, Fortuneteller, Workin' in the Coal Mine  

(and of course) Jerry Lee: Crazy Arms, You Win Again (and not so much Breathess, Whole lotta Shakin', etc.)

Guitar: Roy Buchanan (Will stop you from listening on, to others!)

    Roy's best IMO - Patsy Cline's "Sweet Dreams" 

And, to stop any comments here about others, Roy makes it perfectly clear (without actually saying it in words,) that Hendrix would be bouncing off the ceiling if, in some lucky moment in his life, he was playing half as well...

 

SIngers:

  Tracy Nelson (An Irma Thomas protege,  her best - "Love Has No Pride,"  -NOT avlbl, on YouTube - makes Linda Ronstadt's singing sound thoughtless and emotionless.)  But try: "Can You, Fool"   and the ONE song she wrote - "Down So Low"   WifeII and I used to do this one; Tracy/Willie covering Conway/Loretta's "After the Fire"

and no, like most of us, Tracy WASN'T always overweight - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5ycASOGbW4&feature=related

Cyndi Lauper isn't the singer you thought she was - she's much better. I used to see Blue Angel when I was a musician in NYC (where I also saw Roy Buchanan.) This Blue Angel demo was circulating among studio people at the time, and is badly edited - but I guarantee you, she did it exactly this well in person. 

Everlies: Not over with. McCartney's tribute song is their best ever - just  when you wondered if anyone would ever harmonize that perfectly again:

Speaking of Conway, he wasn't a bad singer either. His hit, "Only Make Believe" was almost Roy Orbison-like in its range and quality: And IMO every bit as good as Elvis. Listen to this version:  the maturity of nuance, embellishment and musicianship as well as vocal power, easily rivals today's black singers.

of course, Roy Orbison could write AND sing them:  (try it -singing- I did. Start VERY low...) 

Others:

Jonathan Richman's Modern Lovers - If you grew up in MA: "Road Runner" (Radio On. The wacky and brilliant "Loudon Wainwright of Massachusetts"...) 

Roky Erickson : Many - "Two Headed Dog," "I Think Up Demons (for you),"  "Creature with the Atom Brain,"  "Stand for the Fire Demon," "I Walked with a Zombie,"  "Don't Shake Me, Lucifer"....

Almost Anything from The Neville Brothers, but especially the "Wild Tchoupitoulas" album... and ONLY the vinyl, not the very disappointing  CD, which leaves out a lot, and has bad versions of the rest.

Thanks Lenny!   That was a big surprise.. I have alerts at the concert venues and ticketmaster  but State Theater is in Playhouse Square and I did not think about that as a venue.

I will be looking for tickets!

His new album is "So Beautiful or So What," which features a religious theme and even a song inspired by a Christmas sermon by Rev. J. M. Gates, an Atlanta preacher."   I have not listened to it yet ..but I will have to check it out.

 There's  a great Paul Simon album that just came out. The best thing he's done since Graceland. Some funny stuff about being at heaven's gate and having to take a number and fill out a form to get in. Kind of like the DMV!

Hi Lenny,

Nice to see you back here.  Hope you'll stick around.  You are so right about DBT.  Got to see them in concert last year thanks to your recommendation and was not disappointed.

Hi Cindy,

Sounds like you found some good ones too.  I'm not much into country these days.  Was a big fan a few years back.  Love Brooks & Dunn and some of the older artists like Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, George & Tammy, etc.
