Music is so weird. I couldn't even listen to Uno when it first came out. I bought Uno and Dos at the same time. That's why I never bought Tre. I was never that interested in American Idiot, although my college roommate proclaimed it the best album ever. But he also likes Pearl Jam (Sorry, man, if you ever read this.) I always liked Dookie. Anyway, Uno is sounding good today, as is Dos, so maybe I'll have to find Tre somewhere. I think after listening to a lot of Dead it makes listening to compact, punchy tunes that much more enjoyable.
Yeah, I'm way older than that. I got a bit into Green Day and other local punk acts after I moved here and read a book someone gave me about Bay Area punk. And prior to that was when my college roommate insisted I had to hear American Idiot. But I was in law school when "Longview" came out, and I really dug that song musically.
Green Day(with another name) also did a cool 60s pop garage record. Cant remember was it was called though. And Billy Joe's duett album with Norah Jones, covering The Everly brothers was a great surprise
Yeah but it wasn't recommended to me until '06 or so. How old am I? I'm ****ing 80 yrs. old, man. Nah, just kidding.
More Crossroads and the fabulous Texas blues player Doyle Bramhall II. What a guitarist man! Should be getting more attention Sporting a Leon Russel T I believe
I have an album by Doyle Bramhall II, "Welcome", and that dude looks younger but looks like him, so he probably is III.
I just finished Dos, and it's amazing how in the space of an hour or so I went from "Why do I have these albums?" to "Glad I have these albums!"
So, now I just put this on: It's actually from a rip of a CD-R of the album someone from work gave me years ago. I have no idea what quality files were ripped to the CD-R. This was before iTunes and my being really sentient about the technical side of digital. These files sound a little dull to me. I should investigate what kbps they are, but I ripped the CD-R to .mp4 so I don't think it's possible for me to do that. It could be this is just a muddily-produced piece of music. This is straight up blues-rock from the 90s or early 00s. But Clapton likes this guy, which means I do.
Rodrigo Amado playing tenor saxophone with his Motion Trio on "The Flame Alphabet" with Jeb Bishop added on trombone and then "The Freedom Principle" with Peter Evans added on trumpet. Both better every time. Pure free jazz improvising with a groove and nothing even near notated music. Love this guy.
