Burn On The Bayou - A Heavy Underground Tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival 

I would guess this probably won't appeal to actual Creedence fans, who may bemoan all the heavy-handed bludgeon, but if you like sloppy blues rock and stoner metal, this is pretty entertaining.

Just played a few sample tracks from this.  Absolutely right up my street.  Top spot @Philly_Q .

The fourth track, Gloomy by Cortez, is absolutely killer.  I need to listen to the rest of it a few more times to see which ones sink in.

Spectacular album

I'm listening to Geddy Lee's audio book and going through the albums in sequence as he talks about them. I particularly enjoyed the first album. I've always loved it but it still gets me excited after all these years.

Deadman

A bit of rarer Damned for anyone who might be interested. Sensible singing. One of my old faves:

2024 is turning out to be my Judas Priest year.  New album, I saw them on tour, I'm reading Rob's and KK's autobiographies and right now I'm listening to some of the early albums.

Oh yes.  Mentally, at least.

These days Rob Halford looks increasingly like Uncle Albert from Only Fools and Horses... mind you, I reckon we all do 

supes

Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush. I think they were most "popular" before i was born, but crikey me they sound great live and he can certainly play the hell out of his SG! Really enjoying them.

I was listening to Sandinista the other day and it sent me off on a sort of post punk percussive pre dance exploration..... taking in some ESG, Liquid Liquid and 23 Skidoo.... that sh*t is ahead of its time.....

Trouble - Manic Frustration



I had this when it came out, along with the self titled record that came before it. Both produced by Ric Rubin I think.
They were bloody amazing records, with fantastic songs and still one of the best guitar sounds I've ever heard.
I'm on holiday so can't strum to check, but think it is C# tuning with flying Vs into JCM800s. Read a story somewhere that Metallica wanted their amp settings when they played with them, which is believable.

I know they fell out with Rubin and his Def American label so you couldn't get them for a bit, and that the singer died recently, but if you tastes include Sabbath,  or any of the rather boring retro bands out there mining the same sound, these guys wipe the floor with most of them. Full on 70s rock with a big doom influence and a some 60s flourishes.

I enjoyed Halford’s autobiography a lot, and listened to his second book on Audible and enjoyed it too. There’s one little bit in particular that had me in stitches for ages afterwards.

A bit cheesy maybe but I love the playing and the tones on this : .......

I'm reaching the end of K.K.'s book now.  Quite interesting to read two different perspectives on the same events.  I hadn't really considered buying Rob's second book but I'll look into it.

Oooff, yes. Takes me back.

Thou's new album.

Listening to my 2024 playlist which currently only has 8 songs.. quality over quantity I guess.. Angelica Garcia is my fave song on thus far.
