What music are you listening to?

I've been on a covers kick recently. I found a Chris Cornell cover of Dolly Parton's now timeless "I will always love you" and it sent me down the Chris Cornell covers rabbit hole. IMO, he's got a timeless rock voice and with a lot of range. Maybe the best voice of the 90's grunge rock front men. Really sad he took his own life...another example of no matter how talented, attractive, and rich you may be, there are demons you can't out run.

I also really like his cover of "Billie Jean", the big Michael Jackson hit song.

That's a good one...he has so many good covers. He was so talented and not just as a singer. Super talented musician overall. Here's a cover of Metallica's "One" but to the tune of U2's "One". Absolutely brilliant and beautiful and haunting:

I was a jazz and “pop” fan. Not much country music .Been listening in the early evening lately to Sinatra and 40/50s. strange , but both. Y wife and I enjoy it. I’ll turn 71 this year. Not certain if that has anything to do with the recent urge.

Been listening to a summertime playlist, and this gem came up


I’m glad to see Lorde back; it’s a Krispy Kreme doughnut of a song though

I hated to see this couple end their musical relationship.

Edit: Their 1st live show was at Eddies Attic in Decatur.

I think this could become my favorite thread on the Swarm.

Background: I book artists for a music festival in NC. Before that, I was the booking person for a PAC in NC. I will occasionally share my thoughts about new artists.

Some indie music from NC:

A band from Australia. Don't click if you don't like artists like Al Green or Otis Redding or any of the classic 60's soul/R & B artists:

With all the references to R&B, blues and soul, can I get a shoutout for Leon Bridges.

My mixes are by genre and depend on my mood or activity. They are basically, classical, rock, blues, R&B, country (not Nashville pop) jazz and almost anything from 1966-1973.

 

[orientalnc]

These guys are GOOD!

This was my favorite Aussie band for a long time.

At beginning I thought of Sonny Terry and his harmonica playing on Lost John.

I'm going to Bonnaroo in September. Its during opening weekend of college football (I know, it's a mortal sin to miss opening weekend) but there are very few things I love more than football. My family. And live music. My last show was Tool in January 2020 right before covid got nuts. And Incubus the month before that.

But don't worry. I'll be checking highlights after I get my *** kicked by Foo Fighters Saturday night

I have just started listening to a large variety of music playing Rocksmith in an attempt to get my guitar skills back where they were when I was in high school and college. I have a long way to go.

Sometimes I get a song in my head on a bike ride and I try to remember all the lyrics. Why did this song get stuck this morning? Maybe it was the new bag of dark roasted beans from Nicaragua.
