My god is Leo Kottke still alive?

As far as I know -- I saw him live at Troy Music Hall a few years ago. He is an inspiration for me picking 12-string guitar.

I first heard him when a friend played a cut for me off the "Armadillo" album. Here's the actual conversation we had:

Me: That's two guys playing.

Friend: Nope. Just one guy.

Me: Then he doesn't have the standard number of finger or hands.

Cheers, Jock

I'm going to dust off my Perry Como LP's then

I listen to all kinds of stuff, but my fallbacks are Warren Zevon and Neil Young.

 

[BillN]

OK I can add "After The Gold Rush" and thinking about it ABBA are near the top for me

That's the thing about a thread like this... It just asks for those "...and how could I forget..." updates to one's original list. Thus:

How could I forget Dire Straits...?

That is one band that I just never "got". I always thought they were trying to hard. Too jazzy and too flashy. But to be fair, I never gave them a chance. And when I was a young one, it was always know-it-all middle-aged guys that loved them. Anyways, I have LOVED nearly every one of his solo LPs. So maybe I'm growing into one of those middle-aged know-it-alls. When I get to the shop today, I'm going to give the Straits a fair shake. I'll play them all in chronological order (and quit when I get to "Brothers in Arms".....I heard that enough in high school for an entire lifetime) and re-evaluate them.

btw, Knopfler made a pretty good American country record under the pseudonym The Notting Hillbillies that is worth seeking out if you're open to that idea.

Spotify is really cool for broadening your horizon - search for any word & see where it takes you - eg potato / lemon / whatever (yes I mean whatever), then follow the suggested links

there are masses of unknown names producing excellent sounds

Been on a singer/ songwriter binge lately. Just rediscovered Jackson Browne's first three lps. Nice.

Chris Whitley's Dirt Floor album

 

[EasyEd]

Hey All,

Boy am I from the wrong side of the tracks with respect to this topic...

My music is simple, message laden (commonly), singable and danceable - not from high school or college or "high brow".

So a few examples - hope I don't offend...

My all-time favorite band - Reckless Kelly yeah Idaho Boys moved to Austin - now part of that Texas Red Dirt music scene. That is Willie Braun singin...

Ben Bullington - a country doctor from Montana - died of cancer a couple years ago...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wMFCUqOuSw

I was born in 55 myself.

The Trishas - more Austin texas stuff - each of these women is an outstanding musician in their own right. Kelly Mickwee is lead singer here...

One more - Mandolin Orange - I can listen to Emily and Andrew for hours..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMx6H43ZX9s

And then there is old country, new country, bluegrass, blues, cajun, rockabilly (yes Lucille!), french canadian, australian country, modern rock and pop creativity so much good stuff - I've no time to live in my past.
