You're a bit young for the babymakin' music aren't ya? :

I enjoy my jazz sometimes.

Hey if anyone can find this song on the internet please post it.

I've heard of her, but never heard any of her music. What's a good one to start with?

I particularly like "Furnace Room Lullaby." It's a pretty good intro to her. The most recent album "Middle Cyclone" is fantastic as well, but it's probably better if you're a little more familiar with her.

Boney James - Boneyizm

if you haven't heard it, listen to it right now.:

I had not listened to that before. Reminds me a little of John Klemmer - Touch. Check that one out Kris. Best make out music ever recorded, at least based on my research.

I could not find that song, but plugged Boney James into Pandora, and it played a song off of Send One Your Love, by him.

EDIT: I just found a short clip of Boneyizm on iTunes. It sounds a little less like Klemmer, at least based on the clip, but still in the same ball park. I may pick some of this stuff up. I enjoy my jazz and actually really got into fusion in high school and college. Didn't hurt me a bit!

I am going to listen to some of Mr. James today, and also this:

Another great album with Mr. Frisell, this time teamed up with the always amazing Matt Chamberlain on drums.

The Very Best of Moby Grape - Vintage

I have all two of their albums on vinyl from the 60s. This was released in 1993. A two-disc CD set including both studio albums, plus a bunch of demos and live cuts...

Sadly overlooked, and imploding from drugs and mental illness early on, this is one of the BEST bands I bet most of you have never heard of. Three guitar players (acoustic and electric) w that rockin' San Fran sound, rounded out w alot of prescient alt-country leanings, superb guitar duels, and melt like butter harmonies. Catch 'em if you can, on CD, MP3...any medium. Highly recommended! :

Just went to youtube, and I'll be darned if there aren't some Moby Grape vids (some audio only) on there! Here's a great blues tune. The Grape doing Miller's Blues:

A great tongue-in-cheek one minute ballad, "Naked if I Want To"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b8utHBk3aQ

One of my all-time favorite songs by anyone. I give you "8:05" :

and, if you haven't given up yet, a three-fer! "Omaha", "Hey Grandma", "Changes" :

Hope you enjoyed it!

I added some youtube links to Moby Grape on my original post (just above). Check 'em out! G

I love the Grape. Fantastic first album. So much talent, great songwriting, harmonies, 3 guitars. Everything from bluesy to country to folk to rock.

I agree -- the best 60's band you've never heard of!

I've settled in on SRV and been working some licks (with my mod).

I also possibly figured out why there are days certain guitars sound better than others (comparing ones you own). I think it has something to do with the music you listened to that day. I have been listening to SRV in the car and then dissecting it once I get home - can't put the Strat down to play another guitar.

I saw these guys a couple of weeks ago opening for Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction, and good lord almighty what a set. The album has been in heavy rotation on my morning commute.
