The Music Thread

Been listening to this CD and it so so good... I don't care who you are

That was good. The music reminded me of this song I was listening to earlier today a little bit.

 

[HandsonFire]

This band is awesome.

Booker T & the M.G.'s was the Stax back up band for the Stax soul artists. For those who love soul music, I recommend The Complete Stax Singles box set containing 9 CDs 1959-1968.
Booker T
Ottis Redding
Carla Thomas
Sam & Dave
Albert King
Eddie Floyd
Bar-Kays

and many more...

Full disclosure. I was a huge Steve Cropper fan starting in the 60s. By definition, I have to be familiar with all those and more.

J Cole’s new album is fantastic. He is an elite rapper and the album is a love song to 90s hip hop. Samples from Common, DMX, OutKast, heavy Eminem influences throughout.

Also - Sturgill has announced a new album. Date TBD.

The world is falling to shit, but there is a ton of good music out there right now if you know where to look.

I love Steve Cropper who as you know was a member of Booker T and was featured as the lead guitarist in the Blues Brothers.
I have the Steve Cropper& Felix Cavaliere CD, Nudge It Up a Notch which you recommended awhile back. I love it !

Here's another neat team up from Dedicated, an album Steve put together with a bunch of other people in tribute to the 5 Royales.

 

[Centerpiece]

I like Lake Street Dive

You know I love you like a brother, but you have to stop making me buy more CDs like this.
I just ordered Dedicated featuring Stevie Winwood ,BB King, Lucinda Williams, Delbert Mc Clinton ? It don't get better than that...


I am running out of room for my collection. I told the missus we may have to add a small addition to our house

Maybe this goes here?

“I’m from a small town in southeastern North Carolina called Burgaw. It was really rural, with about 2,000 people. Now it’s the home of Mojotone, one of the world’s leading suppliers of all kinds of guitar gear. If you had told me that back then, it would have seemed impossible… We got our first stoplight when I was 15!” - Audley Freed

“I’ve heard Jimmy Page liked my attention to detail. So do the work, kids – it pays off!” From Joe Perry to Sheryl Crow, Audley Freed has played with the greats – but nothing beats jamming with Jimmy as part of the Black Crowes

The Gov’t Mule, Joe Perry and Jakob Dylan collaborator has come a long way since starting out on a “magnetic” toy guitar

I know where Burgaw is. When I was working on a pig farm in Chinquapin, we went there to buy a Duroc boar from a hog farmer . Speaking of which, Wells Pork and Beef used to have pretty good link sausage.

I went to UNC with a good friend who was from Burgaw. In our Soph year we took a break and toured Europe for 6 weeks. He never returned to UNC and took over the family lumber business. He died last year and his funeral brought his crew of old codgers back for a poignant college reunion.
