ajzepp Posted April 2, 2006 Author Share Posted April 2, 2006 I picked up Buckley's "Sketches For My Sweetheart the Drunk" last year. At first, I was really put off by some of the songs and was like, "What were you thinking, Jeff? And why did I plunk down 19 bucks for this?" But in listening to it more, I've come to really enjoy Goldshot Glitter, You and I and some of the other tracks (but I can definitely see how he wanted to erase it all and start over with his producer from the 'Grace' CD). I think what really gets me with any artist is if they've got the stones to do something different and to experiment. And that can include going back and revisiting some of the classics. I wish someone would try to cover some Buddy Holly tunes, but maybe that's asking too much. If it's storytellers you're looking for, look up Stan Rogers, "Fogarty's Cove." As for Krall, I went with her competition b/c of the curls. And ajzepp, as for a new computer, Micro$oft is releasing Vista next year; I'm still running '98SE and in kind of the same boat, but I'm just going to wait. 'Course, if you bag on another os.... 649660[/snapback] Buddy Holly music rocks....I'm a big fan of Ritchie Valens, too....have his greatest hits album Diana Krall certainly isn't hard on the eyes, but I have to agree about Ms. Monheit....I'd heard the name but had no idea she looked like that....very sexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Oh yeah, getting some other names tossed into the hat was definitely part of what I was hoping would happen. Ill definitely add that guy to my list, thanks! 649235[/snapback] Zeppo...if you decide to check out Roy Buchanon, I recommend Live in Japan or Live Stock as a starting point. I would almost NEVER recommend a live album as a place to start for an artist...this is a rare exception. Also, if you like MUSICIANSHIP...guys who flat out play their asses off, check out some David Grisman Quintet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lean more to Krall because I have a weakness for a lot of the old standards and she does a lot more of that type of thing. So does Jane, but with more of a "pop" kind of flavor. I also have a weakness for good martinis, sultry women and low lit piano bars. Maybe I should start an old guy music thread? As for computers, I got a new XPS last year with best available video and audio upgrades. Pretty sweet. Look of Love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of BiB Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Speaking of off the wall, here might be a reason for guys to find a renewed interest in all female string quartets. They can play my tea party any time. Bond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC-Bills Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Ever listen to Harry Chapin or Jim Croce? The stuff you might once in a while hear is not their real work, as everything must be pop. Good songwriters. Can tell a story. 649578[/snapback] Yup. My brother in law introduced me to them years back. I haven't borrowed the CD's in ages, but I do remember liking them while listening.

I tried to get a good mix and not hog the CD with just one or two songs. and yes, MD is the greatest acoustic piece that I have ever heard. FWIW. It is my all-time favorite piece. This thread has got me on a Triumph kick now... I have been looking for bootlegs, collectibles, websites, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piss off, elitist prick ass hole. Eat me. Score a major victory? That said: He's got some things with other folks worth listening to too. Sort of like Bob James and Sandborn teaming with Al Jereau. Seems like an undercurrent of people who just now and then get together. FWIW, there was a period where Tony Bennet got popular for a week over it, but his "Friends" album helped those involved promote their own stuff. Have you that in your collection? KD Lang showcases nice and Natalie Cole does a killer "Stormy Weather". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
