Copied and pasted from a recap I texted to some buddies: Still buzzing. They've gotten soooo tight as a band, Jason has become a legit guitar ninja, they're starting to do a little more improvisational stuff since last I saw them, and he gave us a killer setlist given that he's touring on the most recent album and not playing a ton of old favorites. McWifey was disappointed that he played four covers, including both the encore songs, but the only one I was meh on was Driver 8. Honeysuckle was great, although Sadler Vaden ain't no 90s Kevn. Brittney Spencer, the opener, came out for the encore and they did It's a Man's World (🔥) and Gimme Shelter (bucket list/rock'n'roll dreams come true). Letting You Go off the new album is a girl dad cry factory. Blah blah dude is operating at peak capacity these days. PXL_20211215_022500646.mp4 Great summary. That band has hit a different gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUloggerhead 2,241 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Shifting gears here. I appreciate great musicianship & happened to come across this young lady, Aubrey Logan. She plays trombone AND can sing, too -- has something like 8 octaves vocal range(!) Listen: and just for fun, how about a little Bohemian Rhapsody: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredst 9,064 Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) Going a different way here. Reminiscing with my middle daughter that latched on to this at a young age, like 5-6. We have revisited through the past 10-12 years and she still listens to it occasionally though she prefers more popular stuff, just like me. But… listened to this with her tonight and if there is a more beautiful piece of music ever written I don’t know what it is. Not a fan of opera *unless* you can see it performed well and live … then, it is an experience that will move you like nothing else. Anyway….. listened to this with her tonight and subsequently listened to about 20 different versions….gives me a catch in my throat every time… Merry Christmas and blessings to all. Pull up another version because Pavarotti is a bit cliche (but also had a voice gifted from God) Edited December 25, 2021 by fredst 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to one. This was really good, though, and it's super cool that it's a touchstone for you and your little girl.

Auburnfan91 1,407 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Had this song stuck in my head since I first heard it on the radio a few days ago. Jack White is so underrated despite all the success he's had. This is his newest single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG-91 1,483 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 One of the recent Captain Morgan commercials used a snippet of this song, which is about 50 years old now. The woman who got called on and later was playing the harmonica is the singer's wife. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two more examples, both of which I'm pretty sure I've posted before: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didba 5,256 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Thought I'd start throwing some of my favorite modern artists in here. I'll start with two bands out of Austin. Some of you may know Shakey Graves. Since I am sure that my favorite classic artists has already been covered in this brief thread so Imma throw y'all some stuff you may have never heard.

This time it finally stuck. I probably couldn't kill it like he does but could cover it fairly well, the chords are fairly standard, though I have never taken the time to learn it cause all the people I play and sing/harmonize with are dudes sooooooo... it just doesn't work as well😂 I love that you can tell in that video that they are in the hill country around Austin. I love Austin, its beautiful, one of my best friends lives up there now, and I love to visit. Helps that he has a studio in his garage and his neighbors don't care about the drums at 3 am... only in Austin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
