OT: Music II

[Spearmint Rhino]

Bit of a odd trio and different video but really like this tune, reminds me a bit of old Skynyrd

This bears no resemblance to Skynyrd.

More like Nickelback, Lenny Kravitz and Kid Rock had an ugly baby.

If you are a musically inclined person and have not been exposed to Fela Kuti here is a link with his son Seun and former collaborator/keyboardist Cheick Tidiane Seck playing Fela's "Opposite People" with collaboration from Newen Afrobeat.

Some of the most politically charged intricate compositions ever to be played were from the mind and soul of Fela.

Sheryl Crow and Heart were at the Bell last night. Now that's a show I would've attended.

Sheryl Crow and Heart were at the Bell last night. Now that's a show I would've attended.

Heart was always been good,vocals are paramount in some cases. decades since last seen. Never saw Crow though. Crow is an awful word in some context,and this is one.

Have to play this one though from Heart, so special.

Sometimes outside influences compel you play something.

Are you talking about the singer, the bird or the legend?

Marley is right there with Fela as an influence, unlike Fela he tried to avoid the political scene but it was thrust upon him and the rest is history.

Shout out to Aston "Family Man" Barrett as one of the greatest bass players ever and the driving force behind the groove of the Wailers.

I was born in '66 and my musical taste is rock: folk rock, pop rock, alternative rock, grunge, punk rock, new wave rock, classic rock, new rock, Britpop, and probably a hundred other sub-genres. Mostly spanning early 60s to present.

Occasionally I am blown away by an older song that I never heard before, and I wonder how I could have missed it then.

Like five years ago when I first heard Mazzy Star:

Or last week when I first heard Fairport Convention:

Sometimes I get the origin wrong. This Bowie song was a regular on my mixed tapes 35 years ago, and is still on my Spotify list today: . Then around 2001 I heard it sung by Nina Simone and the world stopped for a moment while I listened and processed that it was not a Bowie song as I had thought for nearly two decades.

I think that was the catalyst for my appreciation of cover songs. Bowie owned that song to the extent that I thought it was actually his. Mind you I may have been biased as Hunky Dory was and remains one of my top ten albums. When I realized it wasn't a Bowie song, I wondered if there might be other awesome covers. And man are there ever.

I always had a soft spot for Canadian rock bands. The Hip was playing small bars when I first saw them (Before Road Apples).

Junkhouse was another favorite...

Johnny Cash - Hurt (Official Video) HD

One of my favorite covers.....Cash doing Nine Inch Nails "Hurt"

Has anyone gone or is going to the Legacy of the Beast Maiden show? To me they are like wine... the older they get the better their live shows get. Seen them a bunch of times and definitely going in August.

Here’s a great, underrated cover:

 

[QuebecPride]

Kygo is simply a master at making summer vibes. Funny because he studied in Finance in Edinburgh just like I did and created those songs because he missed the sun that is so rare in Scotland.

Makes me want to get e and go clubbing .lol.

 

[angusyoung]

These Scott's get me going more.

 

[Hostile Offer]

These Scott's get me going more.

We once listened to this goddamn song 7 hours straight when driving to our summer cottage lol. It gets stuck in your head so badly haha. Here's another Scottish Scott who, tragically, killed himself last year but his music was beyond gorgeous.

Damn son that stirred up the past for sure.

I am out of town for all the shows close to me unfortunately. I agree they are one of the best live acts ever- and it just keeps getting better. That is one hell of a set list too for this tour.

Reminds me a bit of the current band Mumford and sons.

My fav Scott though is still Bon,and the Young brothers. Where else can you incorporate the Pipes!

 

[angusyoung]

Smooth, always a great album,up there with some of the best, Moontan. If chilin is your game. 1 of Tootalls fav for sure.

More Marley

 

[angusyoung]

Absolutely incredible that they were not more popular outside Canada in this modern day and age. Many of my non-Canadian friends know the history and marvel at this event.
