What are you listening to tonight ?

Blind Pig/Ripple Records vinyl release of "Drinkin' TNT 'N' Smokin' Dynamite", featuring Buddy Guy and Junior Wells with Bill Wyman, Pinetop Perkins, Terry Taylor and Dallas Taylor. This album was recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1974 and is a favorite of mine.

Wow, very cool, Steve.

Looked this up on Tidal and of course, they have the album but by a group called Roxx Gang. Don't think that's Buddy Guy, et al. Have a pic of the CD/album?

Sorry just getting to this. Just do a google search and a picture will pop up. I'm too lazy to go downstairs, get my camera, send the picture to smugmug and then link it. If you can't find it, I'll post a URL.
 
"Art Tatum" A Columbia High Fidelity release from way back in the early 1950's. There is minor surface noise, in that it is not a dead silent background, but it doesn't intrude much at all. I think this release was 1953 and the dynamics and sound are superb, except for the slight background rustling. Maybe, when my Keith Monks arrives, I can clean some of it away. Right now, it's as good as I can get it with my VPI 16.5. The trio consists of Art (piano, as if you didn't know!), Everett Barksdale (guitar) and Slam Stewart (bass). The trio was recorded in December of '52, so I would have been ten months old! The solo pieces of Art and his piano were recorded in July and September of 1949.
 
Jason Isbell, "Something More Than Free". A nice two record album from Southeastern Records. Very well done, no surface noise or sibilants. Came with a digital download, but I haven't downloaded it yet, so I don't know the resolution. Assorted love songs and other stories with some introspection. Music is sort of country, sort of folk, pleasant with some nice short duration guitar work.

Now that I'm on to the second record of the set, he is sounding more and more like Ryan Adams. The song, "The Life You Chose" sounds just like a Ryan Adams song. I wouldn't be surprised if Ryan didn't influence some of these songs, or at least their writing style.
