IDBillzFan Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Did something happen to his voice?? One of the reviews I read indicated that his "sound" now is much different than his early stuff. Any idea what they meant? Looks like the one Best Buy has is "Early On....", which seems to be a compilation album. Will that work? 853600[/snapback] The list of songs On "Early On" is pretty good, though there are some from his third album, "Fit To Serve," which I didn't care for too much. It should serve you well, though. Regarding his voice, I just listened to some clips from his new album "Cantos," which I don't have, and interestingly his voice seems not only a bit higher, but much less raspy than his early recordings. When I saw him at "Croce's," we initially met at the bar and he was smoking like a freaking fiend. I wonder if he quit. But he still sounds very good, including the clip I heard from his remake of the Beatles' "Maybe I'm Amazed." In fact, all the clips sounded pretty good so I suspect I may need to pick that up myself.

Hopefully bb will have it in stock!
Nixon Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 On the otherside of the spectrum, you cant get any better than this... Listen to a couple of the tracks. Try Rocket 88, it will get your foot'a stomp'in

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 I hear the one offered down at your local bank is the best one... I wouldn't recommend getting into credit card debt to do it... Kinda defeats the advantage... Now if you are talking about music... Then, didn't you just buy a bunch of them a short time ago? In the Christmas mood? Why don't get you get A Charlie Brown Christmas? Vince Guaraldi this time of the year kicks arse!
Chef Jim Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 My taste is very ecclectic, but I LOVE good vocalists above all else. If you combine great vocals with something emotional - and by that I dont mean sappy, I mean something that affects you in an emotional way and really involves you in what's going on - then I'm probably going to love it. That's why I took to Buckley so quickly....the guy's voice was just sick, and his music/performance is very intense. I dig that. Van Morrison...very unique vocals, great music....can't go wrong with it. I'll definitely check the guy out....I have a whole list of great stuff that you guys have suggested 853607[/snapback] Sorry, zero vocals on Al DiMeola. Just fast, fast, fast jazz (with a Spanish flair) guitar.
ajzepp Posted December 1, 2006 Author Posted December 1, 2006 Sorry, zero vocals on Al DiMeola. Just fast, fast, fast jazz (with a Spanish flair) guitar. 853704[/snapback] I can go for that, too....just less often in the mood for pure instrumentals. But Steve Carlton is still one of my all time faves, so I'll definitley check him out if you say he's good.

It is excellent.

Vince Guaraldi this time of the year kicks arse! 853627[/snapback] I just bought "A Charlie Brown Christmas" last month....A classic... and even my girls like it... How about adding Trans Siberian Orchestra to your music collection ??
ajzepp Posted December 1, 2006 Author Posted December 1, 2006 How about adding Trans Siberian Orchestra to your music collection ?? 853762[/snapback] I forgot about those guys.....I could go for some of that. And Mannheim Steamroller, too. I've never heard anything more beautiful than their version of silent night (stile nacht).....holy crap is that amazing.
ajzepp Posted December 1, 2006 Author Posted December 1, 2006 Picked up David Gray's 'White Ladder' and the first Sugarland album. I LOVE the sugarland chicks voice, but I will have to warm up to the music. It's a bit more country than I thought....little too much for me, perhaps. Jury is still out. The David Gray disc is awesome....money well spent. Some really good songs, including one of the best love songs I've ever heard http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Thi...8256A06002B06F3 Good stuff! Couldn't find the AJ Croce disc No worries, though....that's what online ordering is for

I also second the Xbox360...
