What song/album/artist are you listening to?

[Cville24]

@Cville24 - seek out Herb Albert, Stan Kenton, and early Chicago tracks.

And for a sleeper, try Spyrogyra.

Thanks for the recommendations! Definitely enjoying all of them- especially Herb Albert.

Listening to my Lucy Thomas playlist - just added this, just out. What a voice, and still so young. Range, pitch, control and power like Whitney and Celine, but still her own recognizable tone. Working on gathering tax docs. Needed something uplifting.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic

Saw Springsteen last night so I'm wallowing in his back catalog. My God was Born to Run an excellent album, but I just learned it peaked at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 and the highest ranked track was Born to Run at #23. I guess Elton John was better than I remember?

Been listening to Kenny Wayne Shepard and Jonny Lang a lot.
And most recently Tedeschi Trucks Band.

I like Lil Tecca a lot; his song "Blessing" is good.

My family went to KWS Trouble Is 25th Anniversary Tour- was awesome!
Love Johnny Lang too and the Trucks!

I am an electric guitar player-love to listen and play Satriani’s and Polyphia’s.
And like what I replied to QA1517-KWS, Lang, Trucks and of course Joe Bonamassa!

Just rewatched Heat a couple of weeks before and ever since I'm listening to this instrumental at least a single time before my sleep.

Getting ready to row to Two Steps From Hell playlist. Queuing up this one right now to warm up. Serious work kicks off around 1:13.

I’m listening to the new release by Lucy Thomas, whom I’ve mentioned before, with her clear voice, great tone, pitch and control. She’s singing with her mother and sister in this one. Astonishing talent pool.

DD has been a Swfit fan for a decade or more. And I remember her talent show contest in 5th grade was to a Paramour song. CD’s I bought for her as gifts.

She and her BF concert pal worked hard to land two tickets to opening night of the Eras tour in Glendale, AZ, renamed Swift City for the weekend. The AZ highway signs were awesome, “if you get cut off, don’t be mad, Shake it Off”. All of them were Swift lyric inspired. Genius.

Opening night this star did 44 songs. Not kidding. Her opening acts per DS were incredible. Not once in my lifetime have I seen a live artist do more than 18 songs. A set list of 44 is beyond imagination.

The entire production was musical theatre and drama at its best. The videos I have seen are amazing.

Her pandemic albums, Evermore and Folklore didn’t lend themselves to concert material in my mind. But they are my favorite. I am so impressed with them and listen to them while I work.

DD was stunned to have more than five of each album performed. She videoed the song ‘Marjorie’ which is about Taylor’s grandmother. I have never been able to listen to it without bawling. When my DD sent me the live video, she was crying, I was a hot mess. And her bestie was videoing her mom, my bestie. It was an emotional cry fest. In the best way.

I never would have imagined such a personal and sad song in a concert with 72,000 people. But she did it. Because it mattered and does impact listeners.

With my mom in Hospice memory care, ‘Marjorie’ hits home. And my DD knowing it’s impact and sharing it with me live was beautiful.

DD and her bestie attended night two. 44 songs were performed, again. Quite the performance. Well done, TS. When an artist gives her audience what they want, and speaks to them during the performance as individuals, it matters. Class act.
