Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: GUEST,Neil D Date: 09 Oct 07 - 10:08 AM Just to mention in regards to the four Norwegian guys, they do sing the song in English. There was a different recording by some Danish guys in Danish that was actually quite amusing. |
Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: GUEST,Neil D Date: 09 Oct 07 - 10:05 AM DaveS, I also love the Jeff Buckley version of "Hallelujah". My wife and I had a friendly disagreement over Jeff Buckley vs. Rufus Wainwright going until we found the one by these four Norwegian guys. It's just these four guys sitting around a studio with simple acoustic guitar accompaniment by one of the four, but they all have excellent and unique voices. They each take one verse and sound great but when they combine harmony on the chorus it is divine. |

Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: John on the Sunset Coast Date: 08 Oct 07 - 04:51 PM Did I neglect to say that the live cast is on Saturday mornings? It's on Saturday 8a-11a. Now it's said. |
Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: John on the Sunset Coast Date: 08 Oct 07 - 04:48 PM I listened to to a couple of hours (rebroadcast) of Around the Campfire on heartlandpublicradio.com. This, as you might suspect, is a program of cowboy music. It is webcast live 8a-11a central time, but that's kinda early for me in California. |
Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: GUEST,Janie Date: 08 Oct 07 - 04:41 PM Assorted versions of "Keep Your Lamp Trimmed and Burning/Troubles and Trials Almost Over" on YouTube. |
Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: Bill D Date: 08 Oct 07 - 04:22 PM I listened to many versions of Child #200- Gypsie Laddie - by a selection of singers. |
Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: Dave Sutherland Date: 08 Oct 07 - 02:49 PM That is interesting NeilD as my youngest one is compiling a MySpace or similar devoted all the different versions of that great song. His favourite is Jeff Buckley while mine is by the writer himself. Actually I nearly sang it last night at my clubs singaround but we only got round the room once in three hours. |

Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: GUEST,irishenglish Date: 08 Oct 07 - 12:46 PM The new album by Tinariwen-absolutely awesome! Also, the Tulla Ceilidh Band |
Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: GUEST,Neil D Date: 08 Oct 07 - 12:37 PM My wife got on this kick where she must have played several dozen versions of the same song, Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" by different singers on Youtube. Everything from the obvious (Rufus Wainwright) to the obscure (a bunch of a capela singers in an elvator). The absolute best cover of this song ever was Four Norwegian Guys. Thats how they were billed. A beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. |
Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: pdq Date: 07 Oct 07 - 05:38 PM A gradual evolution from bluegrass to rock with: Bill Clifton "Where the Rainbow Finds It's End" Dian & the Greenbriar Boys (same name album) Seldom Scene "The New Seldom Scene Album" Commander Cody "Sleazy Roadside Stories" Jerry Garcia "Live at Keen College" Bill Kirchen "Hammer of the Honky-Tonk Gods" (plus his "Hot Rod Lincoln" off the Twang Bangers album - it's better than the one on "Hot Rod Lincoln Live!", which is hard to believe) |

The setting? Overlooking Perranporth beach. Couldn't have been better. |

Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: Midchuck Date: 15 Sep 07 - 10:17 AM Leo Kottke live solo concert at the Paramount in Rutland. A freebie, thanks to a local music store owner, also a client, who was one of the sponsors and got a block of tickets. Not exactly my thing - his music lacks structure to me. But his instrumental technique - incredible. Peter |

Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: GUEST,sparticus Date: 15 Sep 07 - 03:00 AM I too listened to Rachel Unthank's album "Cruel Sister" after all of the good reviews I've read and ended up wondering if there was something wrong with my ears. I've heard some poor albums in my time but this beat them all. They must either have a very good PR person behind them or there really is something wrong with my hearing. "The Bairns" would have to be a lot better for me to spend my money on it. |
Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: Colin Randall Date: 15 Sep 07 - 02:24 AM Rachel Unthank's earlier album Cruel Sister. Good, but "The Bairns" is a lot better. |
Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: Rasener Date: 15 Sep 07 - 01:54 AM Tom Bliss at Gainsborough Folk Club. Not seen Tom solo before. I enjoyed the night very much. |
Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: Janie Date: 15 Sep 07 - 12:20 AM The 'listen to rock 'n roll hormones' have recently kicked in with my 13 1/2 year old son. He will spend his entire evening (if I will let him)searching iTunes for music to download onto his iPod. I have felt very priviledged the last few evenings that he has invited me to sit with him and listen to many of his selections. He has chosen a whole bunch of decent to really good classic rock from the 60's and 70's - so I've been listening to the likes of the Allman Brothers, Lynard Skynard, Jefferson Airplane, the Stones, ACDC. And he is introducing me to newer stuff - Weird Al whasisname, Green Day, Cake, some ready-for-prime-time rap. Also, the complete soundtrack to Monty Python's Spamalot, which he finds absolutely hilarious, Red Hot Chili Peppers (boy, they sure don't sound like they did when they were local boys playing around Chapel Hill and Carrboro) and orchestral music from the soundtracks to the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Star War movies. Plus a bit of stringband music from the Bing Brothers. I've noticed him checking out Dylan, but he hasn't aquired a taste for him, and otherwise has little affinity for folk or trad. other than some stringband music (but only the instrumentals.) He shushes me when I sing around him. "You've got such a good voice, Mom, but I can't stand those songs you sing. They're all so stupid." And I still have not been entirely forgiven for accidentally causing some field recordings of a capella hymns and work songs to be downloaded onto his iPod. He has absolutely no tolerance or appreciation for a capella music of any type. All-in-all, though, not bad selections at all for a 13 year old kid who can not carry a tune in a bucket. Listening with him is a blast from the past for me, as well as an introduction to newer popular music. |
Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: GUEST Date: 14 Sep 07 - 03:56 PM A lot of early Bob Dylan; they re-played the Scorcese movie on PBS last night. Even after all this time, his music still resonates. Lay Down Your Weary Tune closed the program; a lovely and under played song. |
Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: Sean Belt Date: 14 Sep 07 - 02:22 PM A newly released CD from field recordings of Marcus Martin playing the fiddle. Then later, the missus listened to me fiddle around as I tried to learn "Jenny Ran Away in the Mud in the Night" from that same CD. |
Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: Bryn Pugh Date: 14 Sep 07 - 05:18 AM Dear Mattkeen, Thanks for this. If you are going perhaps we and partners (Missus, in my case) might meet for a beer. PM me, if you wish. Last night we listened to Leigh Stirling's 'Standing in the Wings', and Bellowhead 'Burlesque'. That'll be played through before long - even the grandbrats aged 7 and 4 love it. Bryn Pugh |

Subject: RE: What did you listen to last night? From: Bryn Pugh Date: 13 Sep 07 - 10:02 AM Trubrit - Bill Wyman, Andy Fairweather-Lowe, Albert Lee, Geraint Evans, a couple of amazing horn players, one of who was in danger of a rupture playing the soprano sax, not to mention Georgie Fame on keyboards - awesome. And, yes, the Manfreds include Mike d'Abo, Paul Jones who last time didn't seem to have aged a day from the 60s, shite on him !! :-); and various Manfred Menn whose names I can't recall. Mind you, at my age that ain't a surprise. Sorry, fellow 'Catters, if this is thread-creep. We have booked to see Oysterband and the Big Session, later this year. |
