Exceelent Music You've Heard Lately

[johnnya24]

So this is the best album I've listened to in a long time. Recorded with Al Green's backing band, so it underpinned with a sumptuous old-school soul-vibe. The production is flawless ... this need a good set of headphones to really appreciate all the intricacy IMO.

Unconscionably, it doesn't even have it's own Wikipedia page. It's a pretty sad indictment of the state of our society that something this good is virtually unknown. I can't imagine how demoralizing it must be to have created a record this good, and for it to be basically disregarded.

Indian Ocean by Frazey Ford (2014)

Youtube Album Playlist HERE

The lead track (track 4) is the only song missing from the playlist:

You certainly don't need to worry about Frazey Ford being under-recognized. She's very successful. Started in a folk trio called The Be Good Tanyas. She's playing a 1500 seat venue locally in a week.

May I suggest Marissa Nadler to you? Folk/alt-country stuff.

Was talking specifically about the Indian Ocean album. No wikipedia page, barely any online references after a few 2014 reviews. Deserves a lot more recognition than that.

What a ridiculously awesome jam!

This is the first song from Silk Sonic's upcoming debut album. It's a collaboration between Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak. They are supposed to make their TV debut at the Grammys on Sunday. This old school R&B sound has been missing from today's music.

Still my favorite new song ever shared in one of these threads. Love this collab.

Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats - what a great 70s vibe. I think I've listened to 3 of their songs for the first time tonight 5x each

My 11-year old casually dropped this nugget today:

"Dad, did you know there's a teacher at my school who was the bassist for Joan Jett & the Blackhearts and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?"

wait, whuuuut?

Isn't that crazy? He's not even a music teacher, just a good ol' regular 5th grade teacher. I hope my youngest son has him next year as he's going into 5th grade, that would be wild.

Mike Patton, singer for Faith No More and some other bands, did the "voices" of the vampire creatures in I Am Legend.


And now you know.

I just found those out recently and wanted to re-watch for that reason.

Huge Mr. Bungle fan growing up. Their new live doc was really good, watching them rehearse and play through their first album.

Here's them doing a Van Halen cover, I think.

I've seen Faith No More and Mr. Bungle live - both were exceelent. I also saw another Patton gig - Fantomas. That might have been the worst show I've ever seen. Experimental music, or whatever that was, is most definitely not exceelent.
