Gold Member Username: Mike3Wylie, Tx USA Post Number: 2089 Registered: May-06 | Thanks to M.R. posting about Joe Bonamassa and Chris and Art posting about Melody Gardot I now have them in my collection. I found them at Frye's while looking for a DAC that I did not find. Go figure. Joe Bonamassa - The Ballad of John Henry CD Very full upbeat sound. Lots of horns, with Lee Thornburg and David Woodford on Sax. That and I completely concur with M.R.'s post about this CD. M - 4.5 S - 4.75 Melody Gardot - My One And Only Thrill CD If you guys would have indicated how smashingly good her vocals are I would have looked harder for this. She is not unique in any specific way, but adds another option to a small list of jazz artists that you could leave the replay option set to on for a long time. Her production is better than anything I heard from Celine Dion. I find her as appealing as Patricia Barber, Shelby Lynne, or Holly Cole. M - 4.8 S - 4.5 I am going to listen to these 2 CDs another couple of times each this weekend. Spinning on the turntable now; Styx - Equinox I saw them live in Chicago a couple of times, once as TW4 and then once as Styx. Lorelei and Suite Madam Blue were just released when I saw them. Wish I could remember more of that concert. LOL Thanks for requesting this one Nuck. Great album! |
|
Platinum Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 10483 Registered: Feb-05 | I have both of the Melody Gardot albums and like her a lot. An excellent pop artist with a jazz and blues sensibility much like Norah Jones except Norah adds an Amerciana flavor to her repertoire. Much as I like Melody I would not begin to compare her artistically to Patricia Barber or Shelby Lynne...completely different leagues IMO, YMMV. |
|
Platinum Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 10484 Registered: Feb-05 | BTW I've seen Styx a couple of times myself...way back in the 70's in Illinois when I lived there and later in Pocatello, Idaho. They were with other Illinois bands both times. Headeast, Starcastle and REO Speedwagon. Can't remember which show had which though. |

Gold Member Username: Mike3Wylie, Tx USA Post Number: 2090 Registered: May-06 | Good thing you did not play it on the Gallos first, or as JV once did when selling Spicas on my kit, took payment, then played the Gallos.  Darn, now I remember that is what got me off of my DIY ICs and down that expensive IC upgrade path. I never realized how much money JV's sale cost me until now.  Then again, my system would not be at this level without the MIT Shotgun ICs. |
|
Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 13134 Registered: Dec-04 | I did play the Gallos first, actually, but the mass of speakers in the little room made them less than ideal. The Psb's and velo sub just flat out cranked on The Cult. Happy guy, till he trys his receiver, LOL! It is just HT, and the Velo sub will rattle his teeth. |

Gold Member Username: GavdawgAlbany, New York Post Number: 1294 Registered: Nov-06 | Tarja Turunen - My Winter Storm Love it! Her voice has never sounded better! It is very easy on my ears, and not thin (unlike Sarah Brightman, who sounds thin on certain songs) Mike, if you are at all a fan of Nightwish, do yourself a favor and check this album out. It is symphonic rock, but has some classical elements in it. http://www.mywinterstorm.com/flash/index.php?lang=en classical fans will more than likely be put off by this due to the rock influence. You have to have an open mind when listening to her music, but I find it quite enjoyable...especially with that fabulous voice. Notice I didn't say it was relaxing (far from it on several of the tracks). |
