I don’t see how it would be related to this fourm, but go for it. I can listen to anything except rap. In memorandum of Rick Wright who passed away on the 15th of September, you could have started out with some Pink Floyd.

Izzy, I love Steely Dan! But you may have opened a musical can of worms here. For all the cedar strip canoe builders on the board, I recommend Jimmy Buffett and Alan Jackson's "Boats To Build". If I ever get around to building one myself, each session in the shop will start with this playing in the background.

Good call on the Buffett tune. If you go back to his older stuff, you will find a lot of nautical tunes to play after "Boats To Build" finishes.

Sit back, relax, have a home brew.

Last night I was at Chicago's Vic Theater to see one of my all time favorite bands from Manchester, England. James is the name. Fantastic show.

Usually, no one pays attention to the opening acts, but last night's opening act was awesome. She had the whole place in the palm of her hand. None of you have probably heard of her. Her name is Amy MacDonald, from Scotland. Great soulful and folksy music. There's something about a women's Scottish voice in song. Judge for yourselves. Platinum selling artist in the UK.

A star is born?

I agree Jan. She was very humble and gracious to the crowd in person. You could tell she loved sharing her music with us. I was her age when my band was going strong and "almost" made it. Just wasn't able to break out of the local scene....oh well. :) It is great seeing new talent and for them to make it. So hard to do.

As a huge music fan, I enjoy this thread quite a bit. I like many different genres of music, so it's fun to see all the different ones posted. Some excellent ones so far.

For my contribution, here's one that made me say, "Wow!"
To keep it relevant to the BWCA, all I can say is that it's a similar mellow beautiful feeling, just for the ear. Incendio - Los Rios.

Enjoy!

Nice long soulful blues tune from Coco Montoya. Coco started out with Albert Collins, then went with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers before going solo.

And to lighten it up, one from Trout Fishing In America, doing a great version of a Buddy Holly tune. These guys are normally billed as a "kid songs" band.
