Post what you're listening to!

All excellent tunes! Good luck in your work. Everybody loves those and the time you spend will be rewarded.

At the request of another bass player who's opinion I respect, I've been relistening to Queensryche Mindcrime and Empire era stuff.  It is his favorite recorded bass tone.  I have to agree it's good.  With a big drum sound, dueling guitars, and operatic vocals, it cuts right through the mix and doesn't seem crowded on YouTube through a smart phone.  Usually a bass doesn't do that.

Fantastic Gary, 2 of my favorite albums!!
 
Pandora's been sending me Ronnie Earl, Rory Gallagher, Jimmy Herring, John Lee Hooker, Return to Forever... not a bad little station I cobbled together.

I could watch his videos all day long.  Simply amazing.
 
My bandleader wants to do some Tom Jones, so I've been listening to him.  It's kind of half hearted on my part.  I just have visions of a friend's newly divorced dad crashing the hip karaoke bars of the 90s crooning Delilah.
 
Gawd dang, I love this solo:

Vince Gill playing for a selected group of Nashville elite, the solo starts about 2:15. He pulls a standing ovation outta that crowd - for a guitar solo. It's all composed - he played the same thing at a "Crossroads" minus one chorus, but it's perfect, like a redneck Mozart or something.

This guy's OK too:

That Ghent family is another one to come out of the "sacred steel" church music that spawned Robert Randolph. There's another whole family, the Campbells, out there too. On this cut, I'm actually more impressed by the rhythm playing on an 8-string. Frets are so old-fashioned...

Stubby, you may already have run across this, but this is a fun Jimmy Herring show, and the sound is surprisingly good for Youtube.  Someone got a board feed.

Opens with a blistering cover of "Within You Without You" and gets awesomer from there.  Offers something for everyone, if you define "everyone" as guitar fusion nerds - there are Beckisms, Holdsworthisms, McLaughlinisms, Mississippi Delta-bluesisms, Ganges-Delta-Blues-isms, and all manner of other nifty things.



The only drawback to the video, if there is one, is that it is pretty much a static closeup of Herring's guitar playing, or a static shot of whoever is soloing - you can hear but not see his interaction with his band.  Which is kind of a shame to miss out on.  Of course, there's only so much one dude with one camera can do at a festival show, so it's not a complaint - it's just an "I wish".
