Oh yeah...I also wanted to comment on your Buddy Guy purchase. This guy is riding such a wave of commercial, and more importantly artistic success it is unbelievable. I'm glad he is finally receiving the critical acclaim he so rightly deserves.

Tonight it was a return to the weekly trips on the railroad back and forth to school in the 60s.

The sounds of railroading was absolutely stunning and nearly as accurate as I could remember experiencing them on the open vestibule between passenger cars, while sitting near one of my surrounds as the Kids watched "Polar Express" on DVD.

Hey Axiom; thanks for the memories
Rich.

Oz if you are speaking of Buddy Guy's new CD 'Bring 'Em In', I agree...I really do like it, but I like all of his stuff. Actually I believe 'Bring Em In' is probably his best CD in quite a long time. Have you listened to 'Sweet Tea'? It's an excellent CD that somehow didn't get too terribly noticed by the masses.
I bought Bonnie Raitt's new 'Souls Alike' CD whenever it first came out and like you I really do like it. This new one and the Rolling Stones new CD 'Bigger Bang' really seem like getting back to their roots music IMO. I'd recommend all four of these CDs, great music!

No music this evening....wife and I 'got back to our roots' and watched 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' awesome flick! "Hey Bud, Let's PARTY!"

Anyone have the New Rolling Stones release?

About a month ago, XM40 (Deep Tracks) was playing quite a bit of it over an hour or two but I was in the middle of things and really couldn't give it my attention. It sounded good, though... and I'm not really a Stones fan per se....

Sweet Tea is one of my favorites as well... and I use the close-mic recording of "Done Got Old" as a reference recording when checking out systems. Saw him with Shemekia Copeland opening at a little club a couple of years ago... front row center. Actually, Shemekia's album Talking to Strangers is the album that, across the board, sounds best on my system.

Mark if you are referring to the Stones 'A Bigger Bang' release, yes I have it and I personally believe it's one of their best releases in years. This is the CD I was speaking about above about them 'getting back to their roots' CD with several good ol' Stone blues songs. Although I listen to them, I've never been one of those 'got to get the new release' or 'The Stones are in town!!!' persons.

I really like the tracks 'Sholanda's' and 'Should Have Come' from Shemekia Copeland on her 'Talking to Strangers' CD, which is, like you said a very good CD. I've listened to a couple of her songs on the new CD 'The Soul Truth', and as usual it is very good and I've been meaning to get it as well. I really like her work.

BTW, as a side note ... did you know that longtime Texas bluesman Johnny Copeland, who sings and plays with Stevie Ray Vaughn on the '85 'Live At Montreux' (Tin Pan Alley and a couple of others) is Shemkia Copeland's father?

I have been hearing a lot of good things about the Stones new one. I guess I'll have to give it a try. I'm a big fan of their early, early work. Most of the time when I want to hear them I resort to that period. I'll also have to check out this Shemikia's that you and Mark mention. I have never heard of her. Sounds like she's right up my ally.

And yes, I was referring to Bray's reference in another thread to the new Buddy Guy CD. I was just lazy and didn't want to double post.
So many CD's so little money.

I thought I was picking up the stones new release, but now I see I picked up the wrong new release. I picked up "Its only Rock N Roll" which has alot of songs I had heard before and a few I hadnt. Still good stuff.
