[QUOTE]That would be their Swan Song record label logo. Where it originated from, I dont know...[/QUOTE]

I think it's a depiction of Icarus, but I have no idea why they'd want their label to be represented by Icarus.

[QUOTE=magicbus]Sadly I wasn't very impressed with Buddy Guy's new album [/QUOTE]

Is that the album where he and Robert Randolph team up to butcher "Lay Lady Lay"? Or am I thinking of someone else's album?

[QUOTE=EightMilesHigh]Amen to that. He was great.

np: Simon & Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy In New York[/QUOTE]

I love that song. It might be my favorite Simon and Garfunkel song. Probably one of their most underrated and overlooked too. Beautiful song.

I like the Woody Guithrie cd but have only had a chance to listen to it once. Good stuff though.

Yeah I've been listening to a fair amount of Guthrie lately too....actually it's really only been about the average amount, but that's still more than most bands/artists.

I'm listening to Derek and the Dominoes now. Crossroads live, I like the slowed down version.

So, what's better, Beck-ola or Truth?

I'm not for this Grateful Dead thread.

I always thought they were best discussed here.

Agreed^[QUOTE]and there are others who he doesnt EASILY beat like robert cray, doyle bramhall II, john mayer, robert randolph, johnny lang, and such.[/QUOTE]Robert Randolph + Robert Clay >>>> Eric Clapton (EASILY)

What the hell is so great about Clapton?!? BB's even worse!

Yeah, I just replied because I was bored. Of course, we do it the best :D

I've been on a blues binge like crazy.

[QUOTE=Mister Blue Sky]So, what's better, Beck-ola or Truth?[/QUOTE]

Don't have Beck-ola but Truth has been growing on me. I always liked Beck's guitar work on it but Rod Stewart's vocals kind of turned me away from it. I'm getting used to Stewart's voice though and I like the album a lot more now. Good stuff.

I agree about the Grateful Dead thread too, but I did already post in it. I doubt the thread will stay alive that long anyway.

[QUOTE=Mister Blue Sky]So, what's better, Beck-ola or Truth?[/QUOTE]

I really like Truth, but I haven't listened to Beck-Ola enough to judge so I wouldn't know.

Heh. How's the top R&Mers coming?


And yea Ray, that's the album.

NP: The Who - Our Love Was

I like your location. My teacher put that on in painting class yesterday, it was so calming. I was talking to these girls in class, and suddenly they were like "Wait, who is this?" I gladly told them that it was classic soul.

I really like Otis Redding, what can I say?

[QUOTE]Heh. How's the top R&Mers coming?[/QUOTE]Oh god...

I've only counted half of them up...I'll try to get some of it done tonight. If I can that is.....:(

Can anybody give me a link conferming the Jefferson Airplane tour? I will be seriously happy if the really tour.

Did Tom Petty get an operation on his vocal cords to sound like Bob Dylan? I think I heard that somewhere...

I can imagine the operation now

Doctor: Okay, are the vocal cords exposed?
Seond Doctor: Yeah
Doctor: Okay put the smoke machine in there.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]I really like Otis Redding, what can I say?[/QUOTE]
I like Otis Rush..

:(

I'm slowly getting into Black Sabbath. It took me a while to get into them, but I'm listening to the Masters Of Reality album right now, and so far it is teh win.

Take your time mine. I'm not trying to rush you, I was just looking for an update.

So this Warriors game is badass. I'm just going around and trashing stuff. My favorite thing to do is probably mug a hobo and then throw him through a phone booth :naughty:

Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt is so incredibly good.

[QUOTE=Mister Blue Sky]So, what's better, Beck-ola or Truth?[/QUOTE]

Truth

Johnny Cash, the "Man in Black", the king of outlaw Country singers got arrested for picking flowers on private property. I think that's one of the only times that he'd ever got arrested too. :lol:

He's still the most badass Country singer ever though. :)

NP: Jackson - Johnny Cash

He was arrested for drug possession too.

Linky for the Jefferson "Starship" tour [url]http://www.jeffersonstarshipsf.com/[/url]
It says Tom Constanted is playing with them, now I really want to go :( I can't find anywhere where it says the exact line up though.

What a badass :lol:

My dad met him around '76, '77 when he worked at the U.S./Canada border.

Has anyone here seen the movie 'walk the line' yet?

[QUOTE=-The Frank]Has anyone here seen the movie 'walk the line' yet?[/QUOTE]
I have, jpj has too.

No, but I've heard good things about it.

Anybody wanna sign up for the second edition of my bootleg email? i have a fresh new batch waiting to be downloaded

Wait, when did exactly did Link Wray die? I just found out about this today I'm really slow at getting death news.

I knew he was dead, I just never knew when. I'd really like a compilation by him, he was a very innovative guitarist.

I just bought:

The Paul Butterfield Blues Band - East/West
Love - Forever Changes

Awesomeness.

Forever Changes is such an amazing album

sorry about the double post a few pages back. mx is be lame for me.

black sabbath is amazing.

clapton is amazing. he's my favorite blues player, i just dont think he's uncontested. joe bonamassa is like, blues shred. its awesome.

I love Clapton's stuff. 461 Ocean Boulevard is an amazing album, really laid back but I really like it. Me and Mr. Johnson is a pretty good blues album.

I'm still trying to find Derek and the Dominoes "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" album... :upset:

hey everone should check out my review of Who Are You on sputnik

Sweet. That's one of my favorite albums.

/goes to sputnik website

Yay, a Sabbath fan! Masters of Reality is gold, but Heaven and Hell is god-like. Dio is amazing (just voted for him in the poll, actually.) Vol. 4 doesn't get enough credit either, in my opinion.

I think we established some time ago that you are indeed insane, Scyhma.

I think his Bluesbreakers and Cream albums are where all the praise comes from.

Oh, and when I saw this quote, I totally thought of your hate towards Led Zeppelin:

Watch out, someone has a different opinion than you.

I don't think most people can explain why they like something and you don't. That's how different personalities work.
