What rock music are you listening to? Non-Jazz, Non-Classical.

Yes and all the better for that, a great thread to stop by every now and again

This thread seems to really be for any non-jazz music that people are listening to, despite the thread title...

Yep.  Latter-day "hidebound" bluegrass can get really monotonous.

In jazz, there's an expectation of (more or less) innovation.  That's not the case with bluegrass.  In fact, in bluegrass, adherence to tradition is considered a virtue.  In that regard, bluegrass has more in common with the Blues (the genre, not the form), rather than jazz.

 

Agreed!  I was there last year.    

My daughter Elena and me at Merlefest.

Nice! I've been a couple of times even though I don't consider myself a bluegrass fan. It's a nice festival they've got there. The down home feeling they cultivate due to the entire community being involved is pretty unique.

Never liked the original much but this version is hilariously good

I have an extensive bluegrass collection, including a lot of Tony Rice. I got to see him twice with Norman Blake, though it was after his voice turned gravelly. He was a fine singer and he died too young. How many bluegrass instrumentalists record something like "Nardis," very few, I would bet.

Very good - the album itself is great, and the extra disc has a couple of instrumentals, remixes, live tracks, and covers - pretty much what you'd expect, but it sounds good and the music is solid.

Well - OK then! 👍

Keeping the theme going.

Jerry Lee Lewis – Another Place Another Time

Randall Stephens – The Music I Love Is Gospel

More a gritty instrumental funk record than a gospel one, although there's a bit of the latter on the vocal tracks.

Before .... :

Richard Hawley "Truelove's Gutter" (Parlophone)                                                                  2009 ....

[soulpope]

Margie Joseph "Hear The Words, FeelThe Feeling" (Cotillion) 1976 .... another proof, that (aside Aretha Franklin) Atlantic couldn`t handle female soul singers properly .... sometimes it just helped switching to a subsidiary label (aka escape the clutches of Arif Mardin) .... Lamont Dozier was a capable producer and the lady had a good voice ....
