Sunday Morning Music

[Brutus1968]

This Sunday morning I'm listening to a playlist off of an old laptop via WTF into a very capable DAC just to get a feeling for different artists and sound/recording quality because I got some nice equipment to play with for a while anyway.

I won't go into all the stuff I'm listening to but just a couple that took my ear...

Levon Helm, Dirt Farmer, 2007 on the Vanguard label.


Mark Kozelek, What's Next To The Moon, 2001 on Badman Recording Co.
For those not familiar; these are rearranged acoustic covers of Bon Scott, AC/DC songs to the point of you'll be forgiven not recognising the original song at all..

Mark Kozelek: Sounds similar to what Giant Sand did in relation to unrecognisable covers. I’ll let you name the album ;)

I think I have that record, you mean the one with a jazzy version of a Black Sabbath song?

Best

Yeah that’s the one! Cover Magazine.

I've been trying to put my room back into some sort of order, CDs, cables, amps, speakers, books, all kinds of odds and ends, when I found this forgotten gem. I only have two of his albums, (to my shame), the other being "'till the sun turns black", so I put it in my little Philips CD player and sat back wondering why I hadn't listened to it more often. "Trouble" is 20, yes, twenty years old now. Produced by the brilliant Ethan Johns who also lends his multi-instrumentalist musicianship to what is a really wonderful album.

Jesus 20 years!! Great album

It's nearly 10 years old, but I only found out about this album yesterday. Tigerlily was a regular listen back in the 90s and beyond, so it's interesting to hear the songs reworked. Normally I don't really care for this kind of concept, but this certainly seems to offer something.

I love that "reworked" album. Love the original too and find they both sit comfortably side by side. If you get me!

[Diapason]

Yep, really enjoyed it this morning, and totally agreed they both seem to sit together. Like two sides of the same coin.

A bit of a different feel this Sunday.
While hunting some Music Maker (a blues label) releases within my wee collection, I happened upon a trio of well forgotten CDs from JJ Grey & Mofro.
I found them in a slip case wallet, (along with a heep of other forgotten CDs), on a back shelf, in a small wardrobe I seldom have cause to delve into.
For those not familiar, kinda' Country, Soul, Southern Rock, with a thimble of Funk, a varied mud puddle that works really well.
