Music Thread: The Unbearable Lightness Of Messenger Bags

Look what we found in Garrett's closet!

***
I don't know much about "New Country," because mostly it seems all the same and has too much of a pop sound... and because I am a curmudgeon who hates everything new.

But I heard this and sort of liked it. Is it "New Country?" Yeah...it sort of is...I guess. But I like it anyway.

Scott Helmer - Small Town Saturday Night

***
Everybody has done covers of this, but I like CCR...a lot. So I am predisposed to liking their version.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Hello Mary Lou

Although I think the first time I ever heard the song was the New Riders Of The Purple Sage. Yeah...there's no accounting for taste!

***
Jackson Browne is a toad. That being said...his version of Stay is damned good. But he's still a toad.

***
Hootie & The Blowfish - Let Her Cry

Shut up. I think they are a professional band. Great? No. But they remind me of my youth, and in a good way.

***
I'm sure I have linked this song before, but it is one of my favorites, so as usual, you will be punished with my taste!

The Waterboys - Fisherman's Blues

***
Hard to beat this. Southern Rock doesn't get much better than Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama.
***
When I think of Todd Rundgren I don't think of goofy stuff like this, but what the hell; it's fun!

Todd Rundgren - Bang The Drum All Day

His line in the song about being 21 in '69 and calling the road his home just bugs me. He was, in fact, 21 in 1969, and he should have been omin Vietnam like my Dad was, and a lot of our fathers and uncles were. Instead of tapping teen groupies and getting high.

28 Since the Music Thread is up, thought I’d mention Blackstone Rocks Radio blackstonerocks.com a free, no commercial, streaming rock station we’ve put together. I started in radio back in the 70s as a college DJ and now retired I’ve put together a unique station, which I think most Moronswill love. Just check out the program schedule. … playing now, Woodstock IV, the epic fantasy music festival, the ultimate major acts of the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, both in spirit and in the flesh. Spanning Saturday and Sunday, the opening artist hits the stage every Saturday at Noon, and the music keeps on until Midnight. Then it starts all over again Sunday Noon. The bill ... The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, the Who, Cream, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Oasis, Sly and the Family Stone, Joe Cocker, the Byrds, CSNY, and so many more! Hendrix is on stage now.

82 >>New Riders of the Purple Sage had some fine musicians, and I think members of the Grateful Dead sat in on some of the studio stuff.

It was a bit closer than that. Jerry Garcia and Mickey Hart were original members of the NRPS and Phil Lesh sat it occasionally. They were all part of the same group of San Francisco area musicians that spawned a ton of bands and music during the late 60's and 70's.

Jerry was a big fan of country and bluegrass which is echoed throughout the Dead's material and some of his side projects like Old And In The Way.

90 Jerry Garcia helped create the New Riders because he wanted to learn to play pedal steel guitar. Buddy Cage became their full-time pedal steel player, but Garcia would come back on occasion to play with NRPS. Saw Jerry play with them in a bar in NY in 1977. Saw the New Riders close to 10 times.

93 AOP, Jerry Garcia played pedal steel on NRPS' eponymous first album. NRPS was a side project of Jerry's that grew legs and ran off to do its own thing. From their second album on (Panama Red iirc) Buddy Cage played steel. Cage is considered to be a far better steel player than Jerry, and that may be, but Jerry helped put pedal steel out there for the larger pop music audience. Jerry played on "Deja Vu" by CSNY, released in 1970; "Teach Your Children" was the first song with steel on it that I recall hearing on the radio as a kid, and the first song I tried to play when I finally bought a steel in 2014. Um, it sounded easy...

Everyone sorta says Jackson Browne is a world class douchebag, and he probably is, but then so was everyone in that business in that time and place.

Late For the Sky was his masterpiece. Painful to listen to:

119 AOP, Jerry Garcia played pedal steel on NRPS' eponymous first album. NRPS was a side project of Jerry's that grew legs and ran off to do its own thing. From their second album on (Panama Red iirc) Buddy Cage played steel. Cage is considered to be a far better steel player than Jerry, and that may be, but Jerry helped put pedal steel out there for the larger pop music audience. Jerry played on "Deja Vu" by CSNY, released in 1970; "Teach Your Children" was the first song with steel on it that I recall hearing on the radio as a kid, and the first song I tried to play when I finally bought a steel in 2014. Um, it sounded easy...
Posted by: Cowboyneal - the Other Jewish Carpenter at October 05, 2024 08:31 PM (/jWPx)

Thanks. I am a fan of both bands. Ever hear pedal steel in a blues band? Sonny Rhodes is a good example. I used to see him play quite a lot.

He tried to steal the "love of my life" from me, while at the time time I watched him torture the gal he was dating, for reasons I couldn't understand at the time.

He turned me on to JB.

I was expecting that reaction. I agree, it had some credibility early on, but it seems hell bent on appeasing everybody as the years pass. They used to limit themselves to five inductees a year with maybe an extra slot given to a non-musician (producer, record company exec, DJ,) but this year they have at least fifteen names. They have somehow simultaneously watered down the level of talent, yet still manage to snub some real pioneers (Dick Dale, Chubby Checker, Jim Croce, Joy Division.)

I've screwed around with resonator steels and one-lever high-whines for 60 years or so. It's a piece of cake to pick out a melody and chunk along. Actually playing with pedals is out there with the multi-pulley harps Erard and Pleyel made for Debussy and Ravel.

We could have a whole thread someday on Paul Bigsby, who invented the pedal steel, also the "tremolo bar" vibrato tailpiece, and was the chief engineer of Crocker Motorcycles. Later in his career he did some space program aerospace work. In terms of sheer breadth, he was the engineer/artist of the century.

I did not know that, although I was a fan of the New Riders. I knew of Jerry Garcia not through the Grateful Dead, but because of Old and in the Way. Vassar Clements, David Grisman, Peter Rowan and Jerry Garcia made bluegrass much more interesting. It's the music that I listen to most even now. There are a lot of good bands playing creative music and pushing boundaries without going over the line into something else. Or, maybe just over the line a little.

177 That's what's cool about music. What I hate might give you goosebumps. And the fact that it does makes me wonder what I'm missing and sometimes leads me to like something I had dismissed. Mileage is useful. I wasn't a Soundgarden fan at first. I now love Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog, and Cornell.

I think it has as much to do with what part of your brain you want tapped.

I realized not long ago a lot of my favorite stuff parks itself in a minor key. I suspect many people hate that.

Oh well.

I'd hate to be limited to the music of my youth, that's all I know, and I try to "rediscover" as much of it as I can. But I get a big kick out of finding something new, and almost all of what I find these days if far far off the beaten path.

The last time Vanderbilt beat Bama was 1984.

Tonight fans carried the goal posts from the stadium thru downtown Nashville and put them in the Cumberland river.

Heh.

I guess that would be me. I find many minor compositions depressing. Not all. You are absolutely correct - we tap into the music that moves us.

The last time Vanderbilt beat Bama was 1984.

I read that they were 0-60 when playing someone in the top 5, going back to the beginning of polls in the 1930's.

Very cool.

194 I am not a fan of country music, but some I like: Chris Stapleton and Zac Brown Band in particular. But Dierks Bentley has some stuff that you never hear on the radio, and he has a good singing voice.

Seems most of the chick singers are hellbent on sounding like whiny teenagers. I like Martina McBride.

197 I saw Jimmy Vaughan and the Tilt-a-Whirl band in Alamogordo, New Mexico this week. The last time I saw him was in Santa Fe. Around 2017 and he still had his full hair a slick back hair. Those glorious locks are long gone, as is the upper part of his voice and the slashing precision of his guitar playing. An era is coming to an end and I'm not happy about it. Still the band was tight, tight tight and the arrangements were brilliant. Lovely set.

199 We could have a whole thread someday on Paul Bigsby, who invented the pedal steel, also the "tremolo bar" vibrato tailpiece, and was the chief engineer of Crocker Motorcycles. Later in his career he did some space program aerospace work. In terms of sheer breadth, he was the engineer/artist of the century.

Kids nowadays have no idea how regular radio hosts used to be, in the days of Saucerful of Secrets and Alice's Restaurant.

FWIW, chillun, in those days you could smoke in the studio.
