What are you listening right now ?

well, the Olivia Rodrigo test did not “take”, so……
i tried out some of those Talent Show tryouts.
here is one i liked:

Nine-year Old vs. Olivia Rodrigo

Having cut my teeth on the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Aretha Franklin, and Nancy Wilson (of Heart), I have long been suspicious of what I call the wimpy female singer. I'm talking about that breathy, too-soft delivery that I think is intended to communicate vulnerability, but instead comes across as a boring my-life-is-so-hard self-pity.

So, one of these girls is showing some of the signs. Might be a little wimpy! But the other one is well on her way to becoming a real singer.

KeepingItLight….as a over-generalization, we have found
that we like female Country singers a LOT better
than Rock singers. vice-versa for the guys.

Pretenders. Brass In Pocket 1995 It’s got to be the most animated version that she ever did. Pretenders - "Brass in Pocket". VH1 Fashion Awards 1995 - YouTube.

Yeah, those country girls ain't no wimps. They know how to kick some butt when they need to.

Here's a female singer who won't wimp out on you.

"Layla"

Tedeschi Trucks Band with Trey Anastasio and Doyle Bramhall II
Live, August 24, 2019

This video from the album Layla Revisited (Live at LOCKN') dropped yesterday.

Derek Trucks plays some fine slide, especially in the slow, second part of this song..

Three other videos have been released from this concert: "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?", "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out", and "Tell the Truth".

For me and many people around, which are true fans of Deep Purple, Come Taste The Band (1975-1976), (not the best one) was the last not as much commercial album of the group.
After that “we get together to make some money”.

Solo careers are another job…

Just one opinion Lightbringer :slight_smile:

Don Henley - Taking You Home

Another good one.

LB. If I ever get a ride on a time machine, one stop I’m surely going to make is at a Tarja Nightwish festival.

Absolutely… the complete concert’s amazing. I’d do unspeakable things to go back in time and experience it live.

Floor Jansen is a good replacement though. They are going to be in New York on May 8th next year.

right now i’m listening to my wife’s song, “do this. do that” and after i do all of it, another song” you do not do anything , jut complain” she sings horrible songs. i wish i had a time machine. i know exactly what i’d do with it. :smiley:

Listening to it in my Head.
