OT: Music Part IV

[Per Sjoblom]

Me too. I bought the D-35 but after watching Richard Thompson playing a 000-28 live I regretted it.

When I saw them, I believe they closed with Suite Madam Blue, which was huge for them.

They were very popular for while, a lot of hits.

Never heard of them, had to search .They seem to have a versatile library,jazz,classical,country.

Steve Morse's band. Dixie Dregs are great but after a while, it gets to you.

I love that thin waist 000-28.

At first I had no idea what this meant but I knew you weren't talking about Warren's thin waist so I figured it must've meant the guitar he was playing. Google to the rescue. Yeah I know next to nothing about guitars.

 

[sheed36]

Love the song but only with Ronnie singing it with Skynyrd. Not actually sure why but I'm not really much of a fan of Johnny Van Zant's singing and I'd rather listen to this version performed by the Mule and Audley Freed instead. IMO Warren would've fit quite well with Skynyrd.

What's ''it'' ?

The cacophony of the Dreg's musical style.

I see. Not familiar with the band but can you provide an example or 2. Not necessarily Dreg,but a song that is more well know. Would it be subjective more so to the listener than a general consensus?
Could a song like Whole lotta love be considered one?

I agree. First time I post the live version but it's time for fresh material.

I'm not a fan of the Dregs's other offerings, just happened to have always liked Road Expense.

I'm listening to this high octane Canadian band right now and am trying to get through as much of their material as I can, so I can post choice cuts.

I'll just say that the lead vocalist has an hypnotic voice with special tonality. I hear a compendium of traditional rock and heavy rock nuances in their work that is reminiscent of the supergroups of a bygone era. I've been waiting a long time for something like this. All of it with no cookie monster vocals.

 

[Runner77]

I'll post a few other cuts I've not become sick of yet, in the meantime.

I felt hilariously sad watching that. I'm at a loss.

Puddles pity party, a sad talented clown.

Sounds like an employee from Waste Management.

This cut completely blew me away.

Rush meets Led Zeppelin, with beautifully spun build ups and high octane sweet spots. And Canadian to boot.

When I first heard this, I thought the singer was a woman -- instead of that, he's got a lot of Geddy Lee in him, minus the helium bends -- it's a psychedelically hypnotic voice.

How can this band have a tame name like "Crown Lands" and sound this good?

 

[Runner77]

This Crown Lands cut is really special -- it pays tribute to the many victims, mostly Indigenous women, who have died along a particular stretch of road called the "Highway of Tears."

Beautiful intro, their tribute is touching and powerful at once.



Their making of short video, gives insight about them and what they sought to achieve with their video:



Music with deep meaning and purpose? What is this, the 70s?

 

[Runner77]

Led Zeppelin decided to make a comeback as these guys ... judge for yourself.

Close but, nowhere near as powerful.

 

[Runner77]

Close but, nowhere near as powerful.

It’s a young, promising act.

Zeppelin is an influence but I don’t think they’re trying to be them, nor should anyone.

I used a little hyperbole in introducing them but I think there is something to look forward to there. Plus actual lyrics with real words that evoke meaning.
