What are you listening to today?

[Teri Anne]

Here is a fave band of mine that has such solid licks and guitar hooks for days.

The drummers is outstanding as well. Did a few shows on the same bill with them several years ago.

These guys are real talented and I dig their music.

Eclipse have been around a while and have a huge European following.Pretty sure they are from Sweden so that makes sense.

 

 

 

[Maddee]

Excellent band

[Maddee]

Lexington too

[Heather Shay]

Lots of energy reminds me of several groups like they took the best parts of those bands

[Heather Shay]

@Teri Anne I thought Waiting on a girl like you was a foreigner song. Nice cover

[Teri Anne]

Eclipse have worked under the band name W.E.T as well check their stuff out as well.

They had Jeff Scott Soto on vocals around that time.

The Eclipse is really good, thunder drums. Interesting messages in the songs....

Just listened to Rhapsody In Blue.  Gives me chills listening to a master play that song.

Amen...any music well performed is worth the listen.

One of my favorite bands - I first hear panning in their 2nd album called just Traffic and my favorite started as a Steve Winwood solo album and ended up as a full fledged traffic album - RIP Jim Calardi and Chris Wood.......

 

My favorite cuts are GLAD and John Barletcorn (I still play JB as often as I can0

Me too!   There are bands where their coming together is a confluence of talent and genius.  

 

This is a wonderful album and JB is an all time favorite.  I really like Welcome to the Canteen.  Its a short live album with only six numbers but they are all keepers! 
 

[Cyndee]

Great album ! my favorite "empty pages", nice pick this morning

I tend to go for a newer age of music. 

 

[Heather Shay]

@Abi I am not as fmiliar but so happy you can get me back to speed as are many of the other ladies her. I try not to be a musical snob and I respect ANY music done well - no matter the genre. I being human have my go to's and comfort zone but am always stopping at the library and picking up new performers - usually from NPR all music considered - and try to keep up - I feel sad for those who stick to one genre or era and say that is the only good music out there. I am always looking for new talent and influences....

 

Thank You for your help.

PS @Abi listened to RUNN - Misery - nice arrangement love her voice

 

@Cyndee and @Jani I loved Traffic from the first moment I heard them and have all of their recorded output along with Jim and Steve's solo work. Welcome to the Canteen was excellent and many of their later tours with the Mussle Shoals rhythm section in support of Low Spark of High Healed Boys and Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory.

@Shay I enjoy going back in the library of musicians once in a great while. The reason I listen to newer online artists is that they have such great singers. I like a light techno background with powerful vocals. Here is one of my favorites.

 

[Teri Anne]

Thanks Abi two nice entries  for the thread thanks for posting them.

[Heather Shay]

I agree - this is a beautiful song and beautifully sung and draws out emotions - not necessarily my cup of tea of some of the techno sounds but over all I like the performance and writing very much.

Jenny Lewis is spinning on the CD player this morning, yesterday it was Brandi Carlile with some Anna Nalick.

Again - I may be less than conventional for a trans person - but then is a trans person ever conventional? I love dancing - particularly with my wife (when I'm in male mode), but if I'm out somewhere - I'll dance with whoever is dancing. I love all sorts of dancing and one of my favourites is Salsa - just found this playlist today -

This is wonderful - I'm into EDM, Trance and pretty much anything that can be danced to (despite my age - 62)
