Not sure if I exactly qualify as a swifty. Modern pop is not my thing but she does have a few good songs. Whoever plays acoustic guitar on some of her studio recordings is top shelf. She also has a good production team who actualy know what they are doing. Most studios produce ear splitting trash but she’s smart to get good people around her.
She most likely doesn’t play guitar on her studio recordings but she does play guitar during some of her live performances and she plays well.

Chris Cornell on acoustic, songs and interview.

Just love YungBlud and always loved Aerosmith so this one is one I’m listening to a lot. They haven’t lost their touch. I bought the 12" EP. Love it.
… and some more old guys that definitely also haven’t lost their touch !! The new Stones album is out this week.
How cool is that.!?!??! It’s so easy to jam with Clapton and Cale!
Getting myself vibed up for my Vintage Club on Monday next week.
I like this one where she explains the backstory which led her to this song.
Came across the Irish band Cardinals on YouTube recently and really enjoyed their newest album, Masquerade. Got a love a band with an indie rock sensibility that can rock a squeezebox!
I love it!

I know it’s probably not ‘cool’ but I think Taylor is amazing
She’s talented, smart, hardworking, a great businesswoman, SO resilient AND from everything I’ve heard, read, seen about her she seems like a lovely person.
I have a lot of respect for her ![]()
What a great recording, I have seen this show back in the day on VHS, it was not the the greatest copy.
This show is amazing too. Rita Marley and the other back up singers have such amazingly beautiful voices. The sound is really good as well. Thanks for posting this full show. I wish someone would fix the full show from Santa Barbara from 1979. That is a classic show.
Oh Junior Marvin does not get enough credit.

@Silvia80 She was just a pop star and my girls liked her for years. I honestly didn’t know much about her or care. Her music is what it is, well made with a good beat for dancing and usually great hook. But then I heard about what Scooter Braun did to her. I already did not like him through a couple of interactions. I was unlikely to side with that guy, as I suspected when I figured out the details it was as I thought. He is lame and not a good person, IMO.
I think how she delt with the masters of her music and her battle with Scooter Braun was Dope as hell.
She really did good for herself and I admire how that she took control of that. It took time amd patience. Not many people in the industry are able to rally their fans like that, it is really amazing when you realize what she did and how she accomplished how she did it.
A beautiful song, beautifully played and sung. ‘Fortune’ by Laura Marling.

50th anniversary of this release. Bloody hell time flies.
Everybody knows Tommy Emmanuel of course. Every time I’ve heard Trey Hensley he’s just as amazing.
Apart from listening to lots of Blues, Rock, & Prog Rock and 60’s onward Jazz I also have a penchant for Electronic music such as Daft Punk, FSOL(Future Sounds of London), OTT, Yello, Shpongle and Younger Brother along with others.
I am a big fan of Shpongle(Twisted Records), a collaboration between Simon Posford, from Surrey UK, and Raja Ram an Australian-born musician and the owner of the UK record label Tip World. He was a founding member of the band Quintessence in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Shpongle is a psychedelic electronic music project. I believe Shpongle have a big following in the USA, holding lots of shows in there own right and at festivals there.
Younger Brother(Twisted Records) is an offshoot I believe, a collaboration between Benji Vaughann and Simon Posford. When I heard Younger Brother were going to release another album I pre-ordered a copy over 6 months ago, it turned up on vinyl this morning and after a day of guitar practice I gave it a spin. A wonderful album, and a double LP, aspects of Pink Floyd but more electronic, well worth a listen.
By the way there is guitar on both of the albums below.
I followed up with the following and would recommend this album as a good starting point if you feel like dipping your toe into some Shpongle, be warned it can become addictive.
Hard to believe that this is almost 30 years old now.
Oops, posted the wrong one, they’re both good but this is the one I wanted.
This one leaves me breathless anytime and has the power to uplift me when necessary…and right at the beginning there might be a hint where the steady thumb blues comes from ![]()
