What Are You Listening To? February 2018

^ I didn't know Dutch Bluegrass was a musical genre.

Peter Karp - Blue Flame (2018)

Much of his last album was very laid back, songs about small town life, mostly easy tempos, mix of acoustic and electric instruments. It was very comfortable. I have a feeling this will swing the other direction - hard, upbeat, electric music. We'll see.

Various Artists ~ The Emo Diaries - Chapter Nine: Sad Songs Remind Me (2003)



Can emo be comfortable? Apparently, it can. I listen to this like I go for comfort food.

And ...I'll swan, the last three songs are the total shit! My apologies for saying that word, "total."

No, no. The story is, there was this girl, Marge Rine who was so large...

Johnny Winter. (Enough said, apparently.) (1969)

A song on this album is a favorite of a dear work-friend who resigned last month.

It's good. I like it.

The favorite condiment line was funnier.

I didn't want you to think I was making fun of you, so I changed it. I'm glad it struck you funny though. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one...

The Shamen - Strange Day Dreams (1988)

Lost & Found - The Lost & Found (1980)

New personnel, new record label and gotta love those suits. "Leftover Biscuits" is the big hit here.

Yep, that just about covers it. I’m loving this one a lot. Thanks, @Old Uncle Toe!

Vera Lynn- Hits of the Blitz (1962)


The "Voice of the Forces" sang beautiful standards and jazz vocals at her peak in the 40s and 50s. Her biggest hits were "We'll Meet Again" and "White Cliffs of Dover". I wish she had done a duet album with Bing Crosby. Smoother than warm honey.

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
