Almost! Some I've run across on my own, others, I owe to you. The path of music is a wonderful journey.

It is indeed, and there's much music I've discovered for myself through your posts as well so thanks for that.

Warren Haynes Band - Live At The Moody Theater
This was recorded a few days after I saw him here, and it sounds just like I remember. Well produced live album. Excellent band, especially the horns.

I may wind up liking this one better than Heart of a Dog, which you know I love. I particularly like the new arrangement for "Don't Look Back" and the slightly re-worked "Some Depression." The new songs are mostly really good as well and the playing is superb. Andrew McKeag should be a much more well-known guitarist than he is.

Also, Gary Clark Jr. is the man.

that album shows him with his 335. Was that his primary guitar when you saw him? I saw Mule years ago, have seen him with Trucks, Saw him solo at little venue here in chicago over a year ago....but the Mulennium album has me somehow reawakening to him, not only his guitar chops but his ability to sing these tunes over and over. This guy is the definition of "journeyman" in my book.

Yes, he played a natural flamed ES-335 with the old red '61 ES-335 as a backup, into a PRS Dallas head/2x12 cab and a Ceasar Diaz CD-100 prototype amp to a second PRS 2x12 cab.

Nice! Lots of Crunch? Or was he going for something different?

That '61 has original PAF's in it. it was seeing him live, playing that, completely solo act, that convinced me I had to have a killer semi. Funny, try as I might, I don't sound a thing like him....

Isn't this the guy from Tears for Fears? , I once bumped into him in Bath (England)

Yes, it's him. Fantastic songwriter for sure.

It may not match the impact Heart of a Dog had on me being the first of Kasey's work that I listened to which began my whole obsession, but the songs are just as solid and the playing seems even better as this is now the second album with this full band. The arrangements really allow a listener to hear just how good Andrew McKeag (lead guitar) and Ty Baile (piano/keys) really are. Between that and Kasey really starting to come into his own as a songwriter, this will be another album that will have staying power in my regular rotation.

Evidence of that would be that I'd been listening repeatedly to the released "rough mixes" and now repeatedly to the "final mixes" because June still seems a long way away to hear the mastered version. Not a lot of artists are willing to let people hear that stuff before the album comes out, if at all, but that's one of the things that makes Kasey Anderson so damn cool.
