SteveFord Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Maybe consolidate all new music purchases in one thread? I'll start. I'm on a Leon Russell kick so bought a pristine 3 album Leon Live set and a bunch of CDs: Leon Russell, Leon Russell and the Shelter People, On A Distant Shore, Life Journey and two DVD/BluRays: Mad Dogs and Englishmen and The Concert For Bangladesh.

Ceptorman Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 A few months ago I mentioned to my wife what I wanted for my birthday, I said anything from Jeff Beck, because he recently passed. I did not have any of his music, but I saw him live a couple years earlier. I opened my gift, a few CDs, cool, they were all Beck CDs! I already had all 3 CDs. At least she tried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBSinTo Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 SteveFord, I assume that by "new music" you also mean sheet music. So.........I just got the sheet music to "God bless the child", which a good bud is playing in our upcoming concert that our music teacher is hosting. I may join him in this song on stage, in addition to the two songs that I'm playing: Clapton's unplugged version of "Nobody knows you when you're down and out", and The Kingston Trio's " Scotch and Soda".

RBSinTo Scotch And Soda is a great Trio song. It’s so cool cause it’s not like their normal sruff. It had a cool vibe to it. TJ Jail and MTA, I like too. The Beach Boys version (well let’s be serious The Wrecking Crews version with whichever Beach Boy is singing) of Sloop John B, I like more than the Trio’s. They do a fine job of it though. What axe you gonna use? J-45 or D-28? Guild? Edited May 31, 2023 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief, "Scotch and Soda" was their most popular, and most requested song at concerts, and it took me about 50 years to finally get a correct score that matches their final concert version. Haven't made up my mind yet which guitar I'll use. Last concert I played the J-45, but The Kingston Trio were Martin guys, so I'll probably use the D-28 this time.

merciful-evans Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Its been so long I cant even recall. That's bad. One of the last (and this was 2022) was called something like Singers Groove, and is Cuban music featuring 3 or 4 bands. I'd better go and check out some CDs now ....

SteveFord Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) Ordered some albums: Frank Zappa - Munich 80 (triple disc), Jethro Tull - Living With The Past (double disc), Delaney and Bonnie - Motel Shot and some 3 Leon Russell CDs: Anything Can Happen, Face In The Crowd, Carney That should hold me for a little bit. A new Zappa and PJ Harvey are being released next month so I'm looking forward to them. Edited May 31, 2023 by SteveFord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I haven't bought an album in decades. Probably haven't bought 10 cd's in the last 10 years. My wife's new Subaru Forester Wilderness actually came stock with a cd player, so I might buy her a few this year. I'm not much of a consumer, there are some great internet radio stations.

The last Tull I got was the deluxe 4 CD 2 DVD Benefit set. It was not as good an album as I remember. I have my original on vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) The Concert For Bangladesh DVD showed up courtesy of a Goodwill in Georgia. It's outside being aired out, it has that distinctive Goodwill aroma to it - unwashed socks and moldy furniture smell.

Um . . . in case you didn't know its called interpretation of the work. Its was musicians do. Edited May 31, 2023 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdgm Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) 21 hours ago, SteveFord said: Maybe consolidate all new music purchases in one thread? Good idea. Most recent CDs: Jeff Beck - Live + (2014) Jeff Beck - Live at The Hollywood Bowl (2016) 2CD set Ralph Towner - At First Light Sonny Rollins - Live Under The Sky Japan 1983 with Metheny, DeJohnette and Alphonso Johnson Also got a digital coaxial cable from CD player to amp, so now I'm using the amp's DAC which is much newer. Sounds amazing. Today I received and fitted a new tray open/close belt to my other CD player, an old Sony. Now working fine again. Very pleased I did that!
