Good Music

[Comshaw]

LC's "Let's Rock" thread is fabulous. But I think we need another. One dedicated to not just rock but music we enjoy and not confined to a specific genre. These are the ones I enjoy.

The first one I'll offer is hillbilly rock. Johnny Horton's "Ol' Slew Foot"

"Shipping up to Boston" I do love me some bagpipes.

Next up "Classical Gas"

Natalie Cole & Nat King Cole "Unforgettable"

I just had to add a few more. I know, I know, I need to stop but damn there is so much good stuff out there...

HomeFree - Sea Shanty medley

The Irish Rovers "Lilly the Pink"

Larkin Poe "Bleach Blonde Bottle Blues"

Okay, done

One more, just one more I promise
One of the best covers I've heard in a long time by Foxes and Fossils, "Helplessly Hoping"

[Rob_Royale]

Great idea.
How about this amazing song by Lindsey Sterling, featuring Lzzy Hale? A lot of talent in these two ladies that defies genre.

 

[Rob_Royale]

And how about four smoking hot babes on strings!

Am I allowed some dirty, shameless self-promotion?

They Dream Of Starfish - A Wasteland Of Time

Anachronistic soundtracky synth music made by myself and my lady love. A bit late '70s, a lot of '80s and cats.

"Shipping up to Boston" I do love me some bagpipes.

Hawt. I've been on a 'pipe binge myself lately.

Next up "Classical Gas"

I learned to play the French horn in one evening because of the horn lick in that tune. That particular track seems to have trombones, however. Probably should poke around for another recording from the day.

Not sure what you'd call this genre, but there's a lot of it on You tube. Taking classic pop songs and slowing them down and making them "epic"

This is a great one, I even play the game of imagining this playing while one of my characters makes their debut stalking for a lover in her club.

Home Free is awesome, I've been a huge fan of theirs since they won The Sing Off. Unfortunately, since Austin Brown decided to go off on his own, they're not nearly as good. His voice really is what really made the group special.

But in keeping with the country theme, here's a favorite of mine that will never be played on radio.

And then there's the wackiness of this one:

 

[Comshaw]

Music is an essential for me. I do love it. Early on in my life I discovered a love for instrumentals. Classical, pop, country, rock to me it doesn't matter what tag is put on them. Some of them seem to reach down deep and touch something in me. My family was big iinto country music so the first one I heard that I fell in love with was this one "Rebel Rouser" by Duane Eddy.

A bit later I heard my first Ventures piece over an AM radio station. Again, love at first listen "Apache" by The Ventures.

And then one night cruising the Vill with the windows down and that same AM station playing I heard this "Green Onions" Booker T and the MG's

And on another cruise through the Vill this one filled my ears, "The Lonely Bull" Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass

I think one of the reasons I love this kind of music so much is unlike a song with lyrics sung by a singer, it doesn't give me a story; it gives me a background to build and imagine whatever story I want.

You might find something to enjoy from Tanzwut:

A bit later I heard my first Ventures piece over an AM radio station. Again, love at first listen "Apache" by The Ventures.

Apache, written by Jerry Lordan, was first released in 1960 by an English instrumental band called "The Shadows".
It was covered by many others, including the Sugarhill Gang!

Satan in the form of Doowop/Motown

These folks have the devil worship schtick, but their throwback music is way better than that.

Sticking to my favorite folk/country stuff on this thread (my main goove is actually Jazz):

I'd like to introduce you to Mossy Bones:

If you dunno Bert Jansch, you dunno folk music:

Here he is with Pentangle, the pioneering folk/rock band:

The great Foghorn Stringband:
