Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: BanjoRay Date: 20 Mar 01 - 07:23 PM Gandydancers - a cracking string band from West Virginia with Dave Bing and Gerry Milnes on fiddle, Ron Mullenex on banjo, Mark Payne on guitar and Jim Martin on bass. We just had them at the Gainsborough Old Time festival, and they knocked everybody out, and I've been playing the CD ever since. Lots of good old tunes and some lovely harmony singing as well - Piney Mountain is a really moving acapella song about the rundown of a logging industry, and its effect on a worker - sends shivers up my back every time I hear it, which is often. Cheers |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: Shouter Date: 21 Mar 01 - 01:57 AM Hey all, I've got a 24-disc changer I inherited from my dad when he upgraded to a 200-discer a while back. Being a blues guitarist I leave the first 20 slots stocked with country blues masters like Charlie Patton, Robert Johnson, Big Joe Williams, Miss. Fred McDowell, Blind Willie McTell, Blind Boy Fuller, Blind Lemon, Leadbelly, Mance Lipscomb, Robert Pete Williams to name a few. But the last four slots are for circulating discs and here are some of its usual tenants: Bob Dylan: from "Bob Dylan" to "Blonde on Blonde" Woody Guthrie: "Asch recordings Vols. 1 & 2 Ramblin' Jack Elliot: "The Essential..." (Vanguard) Odetta: "The Essential..." (Vanguard) Koerner, Ray, and Glover: "Blues, Rags, and Hollers" and "Lots More Blues,..." Lightnin' Hopkins: "Lightnin' Hopkins" (Smithsonian) Rev. Gary Davis: "Pure Religion and Bad Company" (Smithsonian) Miss. John Hurt: "Best of..." (Vanguard) Dave Van Ronk: "Inside Dave Van Ronk" (Fantasy) Anyone else share similar? |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: Peter Kasin Date: 21 Mar 01 - 02:09 AM "The NexTradition" - Alison Kelley and Ken Schatz. Riveting performances of traditional material. Incredible. I play this CD over and over, and take my commute to work with "Byker Hill" and "Sinnerman" running through my head. "The Temptations Sing Smokey." Another one that gets inside of me, and has me singing "My Girl" and "The Way You Do The Things You Do" to myself. Their legendary 1st album, and what a great soul singer David Ruffin was! "Nimrod" -a CD by the Berkeley rock band "Green Day." The song, "The Time Of Your Life" is a treasure. IMHO, one of the finest rock songs to come around in a long time. Another one that's gotten alot of time on my CD player lately. -chanteyranger |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: GUEST,Matt_R Date: 21 Mar 01 - 08:31 AM I can't believe it! Chanteyranger likes Green Day! California punk YEAH!! Nimrod also has "Hitching A Ride" and "Redundant" which are favorites of mine to play. Have you heard the new album, Warning? It's more of a happy, pop-punk kind of sound. And a lot of it is very folky-sounding. "Minority" even has accordions and folk-like acoustic flatpicking. Check it out. And what could be more of a folkie anthem?
I want to be the minority |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: Steve Latimer Date: 21 Mar 01 - 08:38 AM Matt, My girlfriend bought that Green Day CD. She loves that song, and to tell the truth, I kinda like it myself. Reminds me a bit of The Pogues. |
|
Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: GUEST,Matt_R Date: 21 Mar 01 - 08:47 AM Cool! Everyone of the songs is loaded with great melodies...you can sing along even on the first listen. And in usual Green Day style, it's got those killer harmonies... |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: LR Mole Date: 21 Mar 01 - 08:56 AM This probably wants its own thread but I'm in a hurry: Louis Prima was, in his time, HUGE. (Never mind what Nick Tosches says, though I suppose it agrees, in a way...) He was a cultural presence deserving of a musical Master's Thesis. Plus, he wrote "Sing, Sing, Sing". |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: Firecat Date: 21 Mar 01 - 09:50 AM I've got "Forgiven Not Forgotten" by the Corrs (Track 9 "Toss The Feathers" is great for practising my bodhran to!), "Ladies and Gentlemen" by George Michael, "Buzz" by Steps, "The A-List" by A1, "7" by S Club 7, several North And South singles, several vinyl records, and whatever's on the radio!! |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: GUEST,Indy lass Date: 21 Mar 01 - 10:03 AM All four of Connie Dover's CDs is my latest splurge. I love her combination of American and "Celtic" songs. And her voice! |
|
Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: GUEST,Matt_R Date: 21 Mar 01 - 10:30 AM Hey Firecat, I've got the Forgiven Not Forgotten album too, but my friend from Japan sent me the Japanese version of the album, which has this rockin' extra track called "(Runnin' Around With) Somebody Else's Boyfriend". It kicks ass! You should hear it! |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: GUEST,Jennifer Date: 21 Mar 01 - 08:39 PM Get on the web NOW & beg, borrow, or buy anything you can find by Tommy Emmanuel, the best guitarist this old gray haired guitar picker ever heard, & I've heard most of 'em! He is from Australia, there are at least 2 websites for him, and his cd's are rare & hard to find but well worth it. Even moreso his performances. You can catch him this coming Sept at the Walnut Valley Music Festival in Winfield, Kansas, USA. There the paid performers will line up around the stage to hear him! I especially love the albumn he made with his hero, Chet Atkins-the track "Ode to Mel Bay". Happy hunting! |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: Callie at work Date: 21 Mar 01 - 09:03 PM Ha ! Rare and hard to find? We keep tripping over them - can't move for the Tommy Emmanuel cds!! He's very popular here - plays on the midday show on tv & stuff like that. Callie |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: Mooh Date: 22 Mar 01 - 07:39 AM Pretty much the same stuff that was there the last time I answered this question, so I guess I haven't been too musically curious lately. Lunasa, Led Zeppelin, Simon Mayor, Rolling Stones tribute from the House of Blues label, Hound Dog Taylor tribute, Acoustic Guitar magazine cd, Little Feet, Purcell...more dust than I generally allow. Nothing has really twisted my ears lately, though I was re-listening to some live Phish the other day. Cool grooves. Mooh.

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: Lepus Rex Date: 22 Mar 01 - 08:26 AM I've been listening to alot of traditional music from Central Asia and musically related areas. More than I usually do, because I'm burning some cds of this stuff for a friend. In between, I've been listening to "We Kill Everything" by GWAR, and waiting for the new Nick Cave cd. ---Lepus Rex |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: Jim the Bart Date: 22 Mar 01 - 02:01 PM Just got a Tom Rush retrospective - absolutely fabulous. If I had your $30.00, I'd go to the Rhino site and buy the Tim Buckley "Works in Progress" CD. Limited Edition; early studio tracks from between his first two albums, mostly unreleased. He was unbelievable back then. |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: Jo King Date: 22 Apr 01 - 10:56 PM Hello folks, I have always had fun buying new albums/cds. I can not wait to get them open and read the liner notes to begin enjoying the purchase before I can get to my stereo to really soak it up. The experiences that bring the greatest pleasure often involve the purchase of a recording where I know a bit about the band and think I would like it ...... but I don't know. I just had the good fortune to go to Elderly instruments, and among the items I got were The String Cheese Incident - Carnival '99, Leftover Salmon - The Nashville Sessions, and The David Grisman Quintet - DGQ 20. I was confident in the DGQ 20 choice, and yes it is incredible. SCI and LoS I was not sure. Oh my God. "What is in my cd player?" I would have to say "joy and inspiration." |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Apr 01 - 11:07 PM A fine layer of dust. Oddly enough I barely ever listen to recorded music these days. I play a certain amount of music myself and go to the odd live performance by others, but I don't listen to recorded music. Why? I honest to God don't know. It doesn't seem to matter like it used to. It used to matter a lot, but not anymore. I guess I could say that: "Things Have Changed" I have listened a number of times to a meditation tape recently, but that was for purposes of meditating...which is a little different. - LH |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: Lepus Rex Date: 23 Apr 01 - 12:24 AM LH, I have a possibly related problem with recorded music: Once I've seen the musician/s perform live, especially if they were really good, I tend to ignore their cds. So it seems that I listen to the music of a lot of dead people, and people who don't tour outside Kazakhstan much... This week, the cds I've had in my cd player: Nick Cave, "No More Shall We Part"; Maria Kalaniemi, self titled cd from 1992; "Setu Songs," a Finnish release of songs from Setuland; Sacred Reich, "Independent"; "Het daghet inden Oosten," a collection of bagpipe music from the Netherlands; Kokomo Arnold, "Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 1 (1930-1935)"; Trip Shakespeare, "Are you Shakespearienced?"; Supernova, "Ages 3 & Up"; and Motörhead, "Bomber." ---Lepus Rex |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: Peter Kasin Date: 23 Apr 01 - 12:55 AM Just got Irish flute player Kevin Crawford's new CD, "In Good Company." It's outstanding! He celebrates the flute/fiddle combination by recording with eight fiddlers, each fiddler on two or more sets of tunes with him, (a sort of Irish trad version of the Sinatra "duets" recording!) including a great, great track of Crawford, Tommy Peoples, and Arty McGlynn on guitar. -chanteyranger |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: Stewie Date: 23 Apr 01 - 02:22 AM I am listening to Clarence 'Tom' Ashley 'Greenback Dollar: The Music of Clarence 'Tom' Ashley 1929-33' County CO-CD-3520. The back cover has a note: 'An outstanding collection of pre-war recordings by the legendary old-time musician Clarence 'Tom' Ashley'. 'Outstanding' is an understatement. Given the unwritten law of the reissue business - that the very best will disappear more quickly than one could possibly comprehend - anyone interested in old-timey, 'white tradition' blues or early commercial recordings of folk performances should grab this while it is available. --Stewie. |

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 23 Apr 01 - 08:42 AM Friends round for lunch on Sunday. I played an early Nat King Cole while we were waiting for them all to turn up. Followed by Bert Jansch "Live in Glasgow/Young Man's Blues" followed by Davey Graham "Folk Blues and Beyond" followed by Best of Miss. John Hurt followed by an early Lena Horne. I then asked for requests ( I was on the post lunch Metaxas by then and feeling mellow!) and a little skiffle was asked for (honest, no arm twisting!)so I put on the 2-CD Disky "Skiffle- as good as it gets" compilation with the forgotten bands like Les Hobeaux and the Original Barnstormers. Incidentally, one of my friends said he'd been trying to find lyrics to Life gets tedious and Four Legged friend and was most impressed when I went up to the old non-networked PC and ran him off a copy of both which I'd got from discussions here. He now has a list of this and other lyrics sites! He looked at the Handful of Songs lyric we'd been puzzlingover recently and thinks it's OK. He couldn't add to Gossie Goosei though!

Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ?? From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 19 Sep 12 - 08:35 PM now that I've moved my player from the depths of my cabinet, almost behind a side table, I can SEE the buttons! & no longer have to get into a contorted position (no good for my back & other sore bits) I'm playing more music. Recent CDs - some Fine Art from Art Thieme, Jim Brannigan ('Catter JimLad), local friends Collector (traditional Australian), another friend Bruce Watson & his friends with Unsung Heroes of Australian History, Short Sharp Shanties vol 1 - yet another friend is ordering us copies of vols 2 & 3. Life is sooo much better with a CD player beside my left elbow. And the shelf that contained the player & speakers is now home to around 2 years worth (over 2 ft wide!) of unsorted CDs. I really must sort them some time. sandra |
