I have always been mesmerized by SRV.

He was such a bitchin guitar player. Until just now I had not seen this:



This is fake BS. I found out it is AI "if SRV would cover the song."

Sorry

How can we be sure that you're not AI and the music is real??

For me, Toy Caldwell was The Marshall Tucker Band. When he left I followed his career. He made one solo album and then passed away. Yet another one taken from us too soon.

Someone I don't think gets the credit he deserves......

Cody Johnson may not be everyone's cup of tea but I can't think of a better story teller that most of us can relate to........

Raul Malo passed away this week.One of my favorite bands.

Hot damn. Never heard of him or the band, but that was a genre-bending barrel of fun.

Good stuff. RIP Raul

In the spirit of the Holiday season........

Christmas song with Brian May from Queen on guitar.

In the spirit of inclusivity.................

I have a case of Guiness underneath that red headed step child of a xmas tree,and to hell with everyone I'm going to get into the xmas spirit.
"twas christmas eve babe,in the drunk tank"
that's an opening line.This song inspired the NYPD to actually form a choir.
Damion Dempsey on vocals.
RIP Shane.

My apologies,I was just informed that I was wrong.That was Glen Hansard ajnd Lisa O'Neil singing.Thank-you for ruining my xmas spirit Madam Scrooge.
I will now just wallow in my patriotism.

Disclaimer; No Bud Lights were harmed during the making of this video.

I wrote my life story here lol

It does sound familiar, GM.....lol

I agree. And from looking at many of the different videos we post I would say we both feel that same way about many musical artists. It often amazes me of some of the people who have reached great success on the commercial side of music while looking at so many that are so much more talented who never did...................



Growing up in farm country I really liked this one too........



I know this music isn't everyone's cup of tea. But I'm from the Pure Prairie League, Marshall Tucker Band era and this very much reminds me of early Pure Prairie League. The problem is this style of music doesn't fit into a nice, neat little box anymore so nobody really tended to play much of it when it came out.

I was lucky enough to live near a city just large enough to have what was then called "alternative". Only then it meant an alternative to music that was very popular and they played more obscure yet talented Rock & Roll. WVUD out of The University of Dayton in the 1970's. I learned very early on that many great artists were overlooked.

Joe Bonamassa-- Drive - (Live At Carnegie Hall - An Acoustic Evening)

When he first came out with this song they wouldn't have let him within ten miles of The Grand Ole Opry. Sometimes change can be good.

He caught a train from Alexandria
Just a broken man in flight
Running scared with all his devils
Saying prayers all through the night
But mercy can't find him
Not in the shadows where he calls
Forsaking all his better angels
That's how every empire falls

The bells ring out on Sunday morning
Like echoes from another time
All our innocence and yearning
And sense of wonder left behind
Oh, gentle hearts remember
What was that story? Is it lost?
For when religion loses vision
That's how every empire falls

He toasts his wife and all his family
The providence he brought to bear
They raise their glasses in his honor
Although, this union they don't share
A man who lives among them
Was still a stranger to them all
For when the heart is never open
That's how every empire falls

Padlock the door and board the windows
Put the people in the street
"It's just my job, " he says "I'm sorry."
And draws a check, goes home to eat
But at night he tells his woman
"I know I hide behind the laws."
She says, "You're only taking orders."
That's how every empire falls

A bitter wind blows through the country
A hard rain falls on the sea
If terror comes without a warning
There must be something we don't see
What fire begets this fire?
Like torches thrown into the straw
If no one asks, then no one answers
That's how every empire falls

This song was released in 2005.

12-bar minor Blues is a can't-miss. The chord progression tells a tale-from start to finish, with an economy of movement.

I liked JB's solo on this joint, except for one thing: The perfect solo lets the phrasing breathe. Bonamassa never stopped talking throughout his solo. A good delivery allows for the speaker to take a breath. And sometimes, saying nothing for a few seconds makes the next statement more meaningful. The best Jazz soloists know this- a great solo is crafted with an architectural component: start small, build to a climax, relax... and hand off the spotlight to the next soloist. Joe takes two choruses for his solo- more than enough time to craft a melodic arc that told a story.

I've always been impressed with JB's prowess as a player. My jury's still out considering him a great soloist.

One musicsnob's ("humble") opinion,
clem.

p.s. The young Asian musician playing the Erhu? That's Tina Guo.. Trained on cello in the traditional pipeline, she bounced to Pop/crossover early in her 20s, and has made a place for herself in the Hans Zimmer world.

Addendum:

This is what I had in mind, when I described a well-crafted solo.

Check out Roy Hargrove's trumpet solo, at 2:27 in this tune. He manages to tell an entire story within one chorus- just before he gently hands the reigns back to Ms. Lincoln:



Roy chooses his statements. He creates a narrative. He sculpts an architecture to fit not just the form of the chord structure, but also the mood of the piece. His narrative forms a rise/apex/decline form. It's soloing with a composer's mind set. IMHO, there is no higher expression of performative musical art than this. And it's all happening- in real time. Astounding.

Jazz musicians create music that most closely imitates human speech.
That is their super power.
They don't play "patterns over changes."

They seek to play each solo as if it's the last statement people will ever hear from them.

#respect.

From a non technical view Chet Baker creates mood that feels like you can touch it. [/video]

Yes, and YES.

This is exactly what I meant, when I said that a good solo takes time to breathe.
Pacing, and 'meeting the mood/moment' set the aesthetic.

Chet was a master at this.

Smack addiction: it fkd up a good many artists.
Chet was one of those victims.

I'm convinced, without definitive proof, that Chet's life ended because of his past.

His career was on (a third) upswing, when he was found on the sidewalk beneath that Amsterdam hotel.
I cannot be convinced that his demise was a result of how he lived his former life-


Jazz musicians have been the lodestone for my life's "sound ideal."

It hurts me in my heart of hearts to know that they lived such lives of pain and torment, that heroin was their only escape.

We now have so many more tools to help such people.
I wish that Chet (...and Charlie, and so many others) had those tools at their disposal when they were still with us.

How many more gifts could they have shared with us, had they access to the tools we have now?



I can't explore that question... the "what-ifs" hurt too much-

Jazz was something I never paid attention, even into my 20s.

These days I fall asleep every night as I listen to it, whether it’s smooth jazz or up-tempo, instrumental or not.

That was a good one.

That's How Every Empire Falls
Song by John Prine ‧ 2005

He caught a train from Alexandria
Just a broken man in flight
Running scared with all his devils
Saying prayers all through the night
But mercy can't find him
Not in the shadows where he calls
Forsaking all his better angels
That's how every empire falls

The bells ring out on Sunday mornng
Like echoes from another time
All our innocence and yearning
And sense of wonder left behind
Oh, gentle hearts remember
What was that story? Is it lost?
For when religion loses vision
That's how every empire falls

He toasts his wife and all his family
The providence he brought to bear
They raise their glasses in his honor
Although, this union they don't share
A man who lives among them
Was still a stranger to them all
For when the heart is never open
That's how every empire falls

Padlock the door and board the windows
Put the people in the street
"It's just my job, " he says "I'm sorry."
And draws a check, goes home to eat
But at night he tells his woman
"I know I hide behind the laws."
She says, "You're only taking orders."
That's how every empire falls

A bitter wind blows through the country
A hard rain falls on the sea
If terror comes without a warning
There must be something we don't see
What fire begets this fire?
Like torches thrown into the straw
If no one asks, then no one answers
That's how every empire falls

You already posted that song.

73 posts in this thread. You have 31 of them.

Carry on.

I wonder why he's taking it easy on this one?

here's a good story that will hit home for you southern boys.

You can post songs just like I can if you want. Try being a contributor instead of being #triggered and a #snowflake.

But as per usual you come here to do nothing but attack with nothing to add to the content of the thread. Same as it ever was.............

Carry on.

I didn't post Take It Easy but it is a classic Eagles song. Feel free to contribute if you like.

What "attack"?

I made 2 factual statements.

This is a music video thread. Did you post any music videos? What's wrong haven't your cousins put out any new music lately? You at least used to pimp them.

They've released a lot of new music. Perhaps I should spam the board with the videos. Even post them twice?

I would be on here promoting them if they were my cousins instead of whining about another poster. This thread began on December 12th. Almost two full months ago. Now I'm not one who is so obsessed with a certain poster that I count how many music videos they have posted in any given thread but obviously you are one such person. I'd be willing to bet they make medication for that. But according to you I have posted 31. That just slightly over 0.5 posts per day in this thread.

Obviously you need to look up the definition of spamming because that isn't it.

Do you actually have any music videos to add to a music video thread or did you just appoint yourself troll of the day?

You have no idea just how foolish you are making yourself look. But that's okay it seems to be what you do every time you show up here anymore. Come after me with nothing of substance to add.

What a very "special" person that makes you.

..... and another thread devolves into meaningless bickering .......

I know. I should just take cheap shots from arch without responding. But that's just not me.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.........................

I haven't seen much about Dan Fogelberg. The guy was incredible. I was fortunate enough to see him here in Chattanooga 3-4 years before he passed away.

Maybe the best band ever not called the Beatles? Don Henley is an incredible vocalist.

I agree that the Eagles belong in the same breath as the Beatles and the Stones. I believe you could add Aerosmith into that conversation as well.
