I've heard him described as Clapton without the cool part at the beginning with Cream and Derek and the Dominos. That made sense to me. But, again, I know he's incredibly talented and people who know a lot more about music than me love him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbo 7,854 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Where the hell is @McLoofus on this thread? I feel like I was promised some @McLoofushere. I even tagged him earlier, to no avail. Now I've tagged him twice in one post. Some more participation on this thread and I might even complain less on the main board! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No good excuses. Best music listening experience lately was sitting on the porch at the lake Friday night after the kids went to bed. Asked Alexa to play Mississippi John Hurt while we drank bourbon. The man didn't disappoint for 90 minutes or so. Life felt simple for a spell. The influence on guys like Taj Mahal and John Hartford is very apparent. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had to send out the McLoofus call. Everyone on this thread seems cool so it would be fun if it was more active. But, alas, the world does not revolve around me. Either way, @Tiger Refugeis holding down quite well. Bourbon and blues. Like peanut butter and jelly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj is easy to listen to plus the club was small and quiet which made it better. Back then Lauderdale use to have a lot of artists play at small cluds...like Leon Redbone, Taj, Leon Russell even Duane Allman. Sometimes they would just show up 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am ashamed to admit I thought they were a silly band until just a few years ago. Turns out they are bad as hell. Tres Hombres is 33 minutes of musical bliss. A haw, haw, haw, haw, a haw.

cole256 17,084 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I just recently found out that Shawn Mendes self titled album is fantastic. I can listen to it from beginning to end. Can't say that about alot albums imo. Also this group from England is amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love how the harmony vocals lay down a really layered and well arranged melody for whoever is taking the verse to sing on top of, but it doesn't remind me of any cheesy a cappella stuff where they're just singing sounds to mimic/replace instruments.

Yes, I think they're awesome and they do a bunch of covers. I can't even pick out a favorite but I'll post one more that I love. Ok 3 but I'm done.....I think. If they sound this good just on the street they never have to worry about a live performance! My wife wrote a compliment to them on Instagram and one of them replied back to her.....so I was like ok we're done here! Good stuff to sit back and vibe out with your partner. Some of their covers I like better than the original song! Edited August 4, 2021 by cole256 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are actually pretty brave to do all these videos under terrible recording conditions, although the first one you posted wasn't nearly as noise polluted. Scary to think what they can do in a studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary to think what they can do in a studio. Here are two of their original songs. I don't know which but one of them produced and wrote the songs. I think they are solid songs. If I was their manager or whatever I'll put my money together and get either Drake or lil baby to do a feature and I think they'd take off from their. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbo 7,854 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Keep your eye on Sierra Ferrell! Her first proper album comes out August 20th and the early releases are excellent. I expect she will be playing much larger venues soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t seen the last episode yet, but so far this season has been great! That song is awesome! It makes me realize that I haven’t paid much attention to the music on the show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
