grampa Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 The last CD I listened to a coupla nights ago was some Bach organ music. I know, the old guy and his wierd music. About Cooder, he did some great stuff for the movie "Performance" back around '70 that is really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Wilson Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 "Highway Companion" is flawless' date=' not one drop of filler!! [/quote'] MAN! What you talking about? Some of his best work. I'm biased, as I'm an unabashed Tom Petty fan, but when people talk about singer/songwriters they mention some people who I think suck, yet never mention this guy! Dylan is the litmus test and I prefer Petty over Dylan! But seriously, he's not the best singer, not the best guitar player, maybe not the best songwriter, but there's not many that can be argued to be better.......BUT, who can do all three as well as he does? Dylan can't sing or play guitar as well. Maybe you could throw Pete Townsend in there..... Petty is just something else. And how UNDERRATED is Mike Campbell? Rhythm, lead, soaring solo, bluesy shuffle, delta blues slide or Duane Allman slide this sucker can do it all! Like Zeppelin, The Stones, Aerosmith, AC/DC, The Who, Hendrix, etc...... Petty, and of course the Heartbreakers, is someone I just never get tired of. I still stop and listen to "Last Dance with Mary Jane" despite having heard it 6,837, 242 times! It's like Stairway, yeah it's overplayed, but the thing's awesome! And since we are on a GIBSON forum.......... it should be noted that the Dove in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame is what he wrote (according to him) as estimated 80% of Heart Breaker stuff on until his house caught fire in the 90's. He almost lost the Dove, so he retired it. He now spends most of his time on a Hummingbird and occasionally a SJ200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 TW, If you like Elmer's "White" album, you should give his "Bwack" album a listen. 'Specially track #1 "Obama saw a puddytat." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lee Walker Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hey elk - yep, the Dedringers are good americana, got a big following in Austin. James McMurty is a lyrical genuis and a fine guitarist, I really like most of his music. When he's not on tour with the Heartless Bastards band he does every Wed night at the Continental Club in Austin. You get the chance, go check out James. He does a very nice acoustic solo set.

Rambler Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Sir John Alot --John Renbourn. His acoustic fingerstyle version of Booker T's My Sweet Potato is well-worth seeking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
