So, what have you been listening to lately?

Looks like Dusty's bass has a lipstick pickup?



Lots of Zappa to check out on the Hot Rats master takes.

There's a Hot Rats playlist with 67 tracks if you look for it. Here's Max Bennett getting his groove on.

I really like the lyrics to this, although the song wasn't written by Willie Nelson or Billy Joe Shaver--the two people who have recorded the song.  But it fits them anyway.  Anything that cuts down fake country music from Nashville is fine with me.

Her name is Anne Reburn. Interesting. And easy on the eyes.




Another selection from her YT channel.

That's some great, old school bass playing!

February 3rd and I'm listening to Buddy Holly.

After hearing about Huey Lewis' hearing disorder, I was immediately moved to revisit his music.  I just love his music and sound.



This is a great video. Note shots of Elvis, Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly, historic footage and nice Telebass shot....

A lovely little tune, no idea why it crossed my mind today. I just like songs based on a sound knowledge of North American geography.

It's never a cause for celebration when grown men succumb to teenage influencers on YT - with a two finger guitar/bass technique and lots of cute nose wrinkling.

She looks like a Teddy Boy Bride (not exactly a look I dig, but I guess it's an image), yet the music has substance:

Live on the rooftop of Rutle Corps, January 30, 1969. As featured in the film "Let It Rot." 



So nice to see the real thing instead of that tribute act, "The Beatles" ...

George Harrison loved the Rutles.  Here is a video directed by Eric Idle.

Here's some hot licks from an unexpected source...the lowly recorder!  This is pretty remarkable.

1. She's 26. Is that jailbait in Germany?

2. I love cute nose wrinkling.

I sometimes listen to Larkin Poe.  They're 28 and 29.  They've gone through many stages and have played for years.  They started out as a bluegrass band with their older sister who quit to get married, etc. 

I've known about them for two years or so.  But I looked up some older videos.  In their early days, they were transitioning.  But they had a bassist that reminded me of Berry Oakley.  Back then they were just playing small gigs mostly wherever they could find them.  I think they were naturally developing their own style.  I think I would have liked being at one of those earlier gigs if I could have had a choice of gigs to go to.  Here are some songs from their latest album which was nominated for a Grammy, but lost out to Gary Clark Jr.
