LiveMusic Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hank Williams, I think they put one out on him lately, "A Man A Guitar" or something like that. I would love to hear that. Johnny Cash has some stuff that is very sparse. Loretta Lynn did one last year. Anything come to mind? In any genre. Singer-songwriter types, folk music, certainly. Bob Dylan, yep. How good can a guy / gal and a guitar sound? > > > [ Live! ] < < < Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodlesbad Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Nick Drake's "Pink Moon" is a standout in the one man and a guitar (okay, there's a bit of piano in there ...). National Capital Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billster Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 A little nugget that stood out to me was on the live Triumph album. The song "Hold On", which on the original studio album was a standard rock production with full band, is performed by Rik Emmett solo vocal and 12 string guitar. Buy my CD on CD Baby!

Mudcat Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I REALLY like Luka Bloom's Riverside album. There are a few overdubs here and there, but mostly it's just him and his guitar. He is quite an impressive live performer as well. Mudcat's music on Soundclick "Work hard. Rock hard. Eat hard. Sleep hard. Grow big. Wear glasses if you need 'em."-The Webb Wilder Credo- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIAMOND DUST Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Neil Young is tops on my list. They were hiding behind hay bales, They were planting in the full moon They had given all they had for something new But the light of day was on them, They could see the thrashers coming And the water shone like diamonds in the dew. And I was just getting up, hit the road before it's light Trying to catch an hour on the sun When I saw those thrashers rolling by, Looking more than two lanes wide I was feelin' like my day had just begun. Where the eagle glides ascending There's an ancient river bending Down the timeless gorge of changes Where sleeplessness awaits I searched out my companions, Who were lost in crystal canyons When the aimless blade of science Slashed the pearly gates. It was then I knew I'd had enough, Burned my credit card for fuel Headed out to where the pavement turns to sand With a one-way ticket to the land of truth And my suitcase in my hand How I lost my friends I still don't understand. They had the best selection, They were poisoned with protection There was nothing that they needed, Nothing left to find They were lost in rock formations Or became park bench mutations On the sidewalks and in the stations They were waiting, waiting. So I got bored and left them there, They were just deadweight to me Better down the road without that load Brings back the time when I was eight or nine I was watchin' my mama's T.V., It was that great Grand Canyon rescue episode. Where the vulture glides descending On an asphalt highway bending Thru libraries and museums, galaxies and stars Down the windy halls of friendship To the rose clipped by the bullwhip The motel of lost companions Waits with heated pool and bar. But me I'm not stopping there, Got my own row left to hoe Just another line in the field of time When the thrasher comes, I'll be stuck in the sun Like the dinosaurs in shrines But I'll know the time has come To give what's mine. http://b-cordova.dmusic.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcy H Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Still the most amazing CD I have ever heard....just R.L. Burnside and his acoustic http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00009IB1I.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg There's RealPlayer Clips from every song on the disc here, about mid-page, the first two are my favorites: http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00009IB1I/qid=1107224605/sr=1-7/ ref=sr_1_3_7/702-1024231-2729649 www.myspace.com/darcyhoover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
