Hi! Nice fertile forum lately... Cool. JJ Cale. It's like trying to get a tortoise to run to you. Old twigs would see the strawberry I was holding... But he ain't running on over. He's coming... On his own terms. That's Cale.

[Lee Knight]

Everything I want by Cale is blocked. This one's cool though. It's funny how Clapton actually has tried to become Cale. Clapton just sounds lazy. Cale sounds confident and inspired... AND relaxed.

Cool Brasil music mix from internet bud Misery Synod.

I don't know near as much about production as alot of you guys, but I really love the way JJ Cale's stuff sounds. To me it sounds like it could have been recorded this year. Clapton not so much.

My favorite J. J. Cale tune isn't blocked!

Always enjoyed JCYoung...smooth and a joy in his music.

I'm thinking of Malcolm Young. Confirmed now that the health issues are in fact a stroke and dementia. Malcolm is the genius behind the band. That sound? That's Malcolm. The sound of ROCK! How to play like Malcolm...

Michael Nesmith, "Texas Morning," written by Michael Martin Murphy and Boomer Castleman (who invented the palm pedal, which enables guitarists to sound like they're playing a pedal steel).

"Prairie Lullabye," by Billy Hill (his most famous song was "The Glory of Love").

RADASIV & LCK: Any time I see music that says "Brazil" or "Michael Nesmith", I listen.

Thanks for those.

 

I found myself wanting to hear this song this week. Dunno why,

I love flawless productions I guess. And I have a weakness for melodic schmaltz.

 

There are two things that make this song magic for me. The keyboard notes

leading to the chorus and the left side harmonies.

 

But it's all great.

This old porch is like a big old red and white Hereford bull

Standing under a mesquite tree

Out in Agua Dulce

And he just keeps on playing hide and seek

With that hot August sun

Just a-sweatin' and a-pantin'

Cause his work is never done

 

And this old porch is like a steaming, greasy plate of enchiladas

With lots of cheese and onions

And a guacamole salad

And you can get'em down at the LaSalle Hotel

In old downtown

With iced tea and a waitress

And she will smile every time

 

And this old porch is the Palace walk-in

On the main street of Texas

That's never seen the day

Of G and R and Xs

With that '62 poster

That's almost faded down

And a screen without a picture

Since Giant came to town

 

And this old porch is like a weathered, gray-haired

Seventy years of Texas

Who's doing all he can

Not to give in to the city

And he always takes the rent late

So long as I run his cattle

And he picks me up at dinnertime

And I listen to him rattle

 

He says the Brazos still runs muddy

Just like she's run all along

And there ain't never been no cane to grind

The cotton's all but gone

And you know this brand new Chevrolet

Hell it was something back in '60

But now there won't nobody listen to him

'Cause they all think he's crazy

 

And this old porch is just a long time

Of waiting and forgetting

And remembering the coming back

And not crying about the leaving

And remembering the falling down

And the laughter of the curse of luck

From all of those passerby

Who said we'd never get back up

 

This old porch is just a long time

Of waiting and forgetting

And remembering the coming back

And not crying about the leaving

And remembering the falling down

And the laughter of the curse of luck

From all of those sons-of-bitches

Who said we'd never get back up

I love when I hear something that just stops me in my tracks... happened on the way to work today listening to XM radio.

 

Jordie Lane - I Think I Always Thought (full stream)

Here is a snippet of an acoustic version:

Oh yeah! That is something special. What a voice. The tone, phrasing. Really nice. I really like the song too. Nice, familiar yet unique chord progression.

 

I can't put my finger on the classic country singer he's reminding me of. Whoever it is, I really love what this guy is doing. Really nice.

[Lee Knight]

I just dig Alt-J. Primarily an art rock sort of "we met at University" deal. But what makes me take notice is... they're small. Everything thing they do feels little. In a cool way. They're a head scratcher to me. This new one by them taps the blues for a little arty, greasy spoon, bathtub gin, muddy river, dirty, barefoot flavor. I like.

I was thinking Chris Isaak. I couldn't believe it when I looked him up and he was a youngish dude.
