+100 for Chuck Prophet…i just bought his new album yesterday.Report
Here’s one, from one of the oddest records to ever get really, really popular. Listening to this tune with my coffee now, and I think it just launched me into 2013 early.
See y’all on the other side!Report
And here’s one for your hungover tomorrow.Report
Everything old is new again.
Jeff Beck’s Song Reader isn’t an album, it’s a song book, a beautiful book, too, that Beck didn’t record. Instead, musicians (those who can read music, I presume) record versions and upload them to the website. It’s the song itself, the sheet music, that’s the product, and the rendition to the artist without the composer’s sonic formulations stamped upon it.
There’s everything here, from out-of-tune honky-tonk sounding pianos to glitch. A crowd sourced album. Videos, some very imaginative on You Tube, and just sound clips on Sound Cloud.
Sheet music. Imagine that.Report
Jeff Beck is an elderly guitarist. Beck Hanson is the guy who did Song Reader.Report
Personally, I prefer the old guy to the new. YMMV.Report
Beck (the new one) is an immensely talented musician who nonetheless leaves me sort of cold. I like Odelay, and Sea Change, and Midnight Vultures; anyone that can make at least 3 solid records is OK by me, yet I have a hard time imagining just who would ever name Beck as their favorite artist.
He seems like the type that inspires respect, but not obsessive love. Something academic about the whole enterprise. Maybe it’s just me.Report
Yes. Freudian slip there, something having to do with family names and early morning brain on auto pilot.
thank you, Blaise.Report
And an editor to correct? Gift to end the year!Report
