Barbed Wire Sandwich - Black Cat Bones

Lee Rocker: Black Cat Bone (2007)

Looked for the soundbitten's album and found this rockabilly album by the bass player from The Stray Cats instead. SAMPLES

Cheers,
Robin

Exclusively heard on Hard Drive

Paul,
I have 2 copies on LP, and the cd, but it was my SACD copy that was the one that blew my audio socks off. I wonder who produced that hi-rez cd.

Two more from Sunday's record + cd fair. I've never owned anything by these two artists until now.

Tori Amos - Under The Pink

Fiona Apple - Tidal

If you like Under the Pink, try Little Earthquakes next. It's my favorite.

Tidal is the best Fiona Apple album in my opinion. I have them all, that's pretty much the only one I play. It's an amazing disc. "The First Taste" leaves me weak in the knees - it's f-ing brilliant! I usually play it a couple of times in a row.

The sound quality on both of those discs is pretty darn good.

The sound quality is very good on the TA cd, and pretty good on FA cd. Musically, I like Fiona a lot more than Tori, but I'll give Earthquakes a try. Thanks for the recommendations.

The Twilight Singers - Blackberry Belle (2003)

Spent some coin at Cactus Music in downtown Houston today. My first time
there. They have a great selection of the kind of music I listen to, and many
used CD's. Everything I bought today was used and all the discs were 9-10/10.
Ended up with 11 discs at just over $50. Nice place with friendly staff. As
Arnold would say "I'll be back".

I think this was Freddie's last album.

Quote

At the peak of his powers, no trumpeter on the planet played longer, higher, and faster than Freddie Hubbard, and no one exuded as much confidence and swagger on the bandstand as he did on a nightly basis. The list of sessions that he played on during a golden period of jazz from 1960 to 1965 contains several classic recordings: Art Blakey & The Jazz Messenger's Free For All, Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz, Eric Dolphy's Out To Lunch, Oliver Nelson's Blues and the Abstract Truth, John Coltrane's Ascension, Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage and Empyrean Isles, Wayne Shorter's Speak No Evil, Max Roach's Drums Unlimited. Add to this prodigious output Hubbard's playing on a string of important Blue Note recordings by the likes of Hank Mobley, Lou Donaldson, Jackie McLean, Dexter Gordon, Tina Brooks, Duke Pearson, Sam Rivers, Bobby Hutcherson and Andrew Hill, along with his own impressive dates as a leader for Blue Note and Atlantic in the '60s and CTI in the '70s, and it's easy to see why Hubbard is regarded today as part of trumpet royalty...http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/news.php?id=18781

Quote

Bassist/composer/producer Melvin Gibbs is best-known among jazz fans for his run with the Ronald Shannon Jackson Decoding Society and among rock fans as bassist for what most devotees consider the best version of The Henry Rollins Band. Now leading his own band, Gibbs explores "the Black Atlantic continuum" that runs from Harlem and NYC in North America through the American south, down through the Caribbean and into Brazil, on Ancients Speak. "It's the randomness of the explosive situation, how this original bunch of Africans ended up in the Americas," he explains. "I wanted to connect the different roots, reconnect the family."..http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=33106
