SHaka40 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Listening to a lot of Gospel tracks, since I'm working on my annual Gospel/Symphony orchestrations. Kirk Franklin is quite an amazing musician and writer, this one is going to sound great with a full symphony: That song is the 2012-2013 gospel equivalent of what Adele's "Someone Like You" was to 2011-2012 pop...meaning I've heard it waaayyy more times than I'd listen to any one song by choice! Don't get me wrong. That's not a criticism. Quite the opposite. It's a modern classic But as a--hack of a--church musician, I've heard enough singers cover this song (and seen enough praise dancers interpret it...) in my travels to last a lifetime Interesting. I've never heard it before as I don't really follow Gospel except for this project, so I don't know which ones are the "hits" or not. Here's another one, I'm assuming it's very popular as I see a ton of versions on Youtube: Yeah, that's definitely a hit (I believe my church's Mass Choir did that one for our Easter service), though not to the degree of "Take Me To The King." In general, the ensemble/praise and worship/Kirk Franklin (at least the stuff he's done over the last 10 years or so) style of music has overtaken traditional choir stuff like the Malcolm Williams song in terms of prominence in black gospel. That's probably overgeneralizing it a bit, but that's been the trend over the last decade or so, at least to my eyes/ears. Quote --Sean H.

Six-string-man Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Pick up the pieces - AWB Wow, Average White Band! Haven't thought about them in 20 years. A real blast from the past. ATM, I'm listening to a couple of Aynsley Lister albums. For those not in the know, he's a blues guitarist. Also, Rock-It Science, by Craig MacDonald's (he of this forum) old band.

Theo Verelst Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Morrissey "Last of the Famous International Playboys". Seriously. because it's the first song of some 80s originals CD. And even a number of my enhancing effects are on, so it's somewhat fun. At night, regularly a selection from Radio10, luckily without the mixes being messed up, so extremely bearable. Recently, I listened to: [*]Golden Earring - demo of latest CD[*]From High Definition sources: Ellington, Art Blakey, Dr. John, McCoy Tyner, Prince, Depeche Mode, James Taylor, Megadeth [*]Joe Jackson [*]RtF live, Bluray [*]Black Ice - Ac/Dc (my own remix from official CD having cost 6,66) [*]Sometimes "WBGO" [*] Ah, now the CD is at "Talk Talk"^2.

J. Dan Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 This morning while getting ready for work - Boz Scaggs Heard one of his tunes playing at a cafe the other day. Been quite awhile since I heard his music, and it was rather enjoyable. We play Lido Shuffle in my band. That's one of those that is sort of unenjoyable to play because you're busy trying to cover so many parts (piano, brass with swells, synth) at the same time and none of the parts are really very interesting. It's just kind of like busy work. Quote Dan Acoustic/Electric stringed instruments ranging from 4 to 230 strings, hammered, picked, fingered, slapped, and plucked.

NewImprov Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 This guy, Edward Powell: [video:youtube] He played a show here a week ago, and my wife and I were both pretty blown away. Picked up all of his CD's. Very nice Indian/Arabic acoustic fusion stuff. The wife has been playing his stuff non-stop lately, and I don't mind. Also, picked up the new Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited: Live at the Hammersmith yesterday, haven't watched the DVD's yet, but spun the CD's strait through about 4 times yesterday while trouble-shooting some IT stuff at work. Sounds great! I also got the new Painkiller (John Zorn, Bill Laswell, and, this time, Tatsuya Yoshida from the Ruins on drums) live CD, but haven't had the time and mental space to spin it yet. Expecting it to be pretty intense. Quote Turn up the speaker Hop, flop, squawk It's a keeper -Captain Beefheart, Ice Cream for Crow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
