I have found that Robin Trower is a great artist to listen to while working with ANSYS. Anyone else like him?
I have most of Trower's ablums on vinyl as well as CD.CFDFEAGURU said:I have found that Robin Trower is a great artist to listen to while working with ANSYS. Anyone else like him?
I'm at a bit of a crossroads with vinyl. I have hundreds of albums and they take up a lot of room. Also, I'd like to down-size the home-entertainment furniture to leave more room in this little place, so there might not be room to keep the turntable active anyway. I'm struggling with "letting go" because I have a lot of rare vinyl. Early Fleetwood Mac, Hendrix, odd stuff like Captain Beyond, the first Pure Prairie League album (never released on CD) and something I found in the cutout-bin...Buckingham and Nicks' only album before they joined the last iteration of Fleetwood Mac. Stuff that never sold well, like Johnny Winter's "Birds Can't Row Boats", and other odd stuff, too. I have a friend who buys and sells vinyl in his shop, and he'd treat me fairly, but I'm still hesitant about letting go.Astronuc said:I have most of Trower's ablums on vinyl as well as CD.
You're welcome, Matt. Eric Johnson is a perfectionist, and he rarely releases a studio album, so there's not much to choose from. BTW, Allison Kraus and Union Station's live double CD is a masterpiece! You won't be disappointed.CFDFEAGURU said:No, I haven't heard Eric Johnson before. (I am only 32 :(
I have a good friend that is in his 50's and he turned me on to all kinds of great music. Anything from Robin Trower to Allison Kraus.
I really like this Eric Johnson, thanks a lot.

I can't invest the time to sell this collection on-line, and the Ebay crowd is generally skeptical about quality, anyway.Adyssa said:Never let go! <3
I've have crates of vinyl, and I still relish the odd new purchase, although they are few and far between these days (and I generally buy online, most of the record stores have closed down /weep). Playing records is a far greater experience than merely pressing play in iTunes!
They do take up an awful lot of room though.
Eric Johnson is a monster. Ah Via Musicom is a masterpiece. Hard to keep in mind that it was released over 20 years ago. Plus, he's got such a baby-face that it's hard to believe he's just 2 years younger than myself.Ms Music said:Ahhh, this thread is just what the doctor ordered. I needed this today.
And how did I forget Eric Johnson? He is amazing.
All I know is "Whiter Shade of Pale". Did they have any more good tracks?Procol Harum stuff ...
Try YouTube, so you can see if you like their other stuff. I can't predict what you might like. I wasn't really keen on the lush arrangements, strings, etc. At the time, I was playing in bands, and tended to listen to the kinds of music that I liked playing: rock, blues, and country-rock, mostly.CFDFEAGURU said:All I know is "Whiter Shade of Pale".

(How do you embed youtube videos?)
For the last couple of decades before his death, Atkins developed the habit of pairing with other hot guitarists and recording an entire album with each of them. I think I own them all on CD, as well as his "Certified Guitar Player" CD. He was a treasure. Some former associates of his, like Steve Wariner, are carrying on the tradition of the Nashville Sound.CFDFEAGURU said:I gave Chet Atkins a try. Not bad, very good guitar music. Thanks for the recommendation.

Journey's first album (1975) was excellent. They went commercial after that. They had a lot of really talented and creative artists, and I think that contributed to internal conflicts. There are many folks that think Steve Perry ruined the band.CFDFEAGURU said:I would like to thank Astronuc for introducing me to a form of the band, Journey, the I find very easy to listen to. Man, Steve really killed that band, in my opinion.
Thanks
