Walter Trout is a blues guitarist. His new album is pretty solid rock/blues - the kind of music you think of when I say "blues guitarist".

And then there's this song, which is wildly different from the rest of the album and so of course draws me to it.

Walter Trout, "Falls Apart"

Being sick has given me nothing BUT time, and how cow have I found too much new music this week.

But I'm going to give you first some music that I'm NOT adding to the Radio Station. Some jazz. The real thing, not what passes for it these days.

This album is the RAD Jazz Orchestra, led by Ryan Deweese, who is the son of a friend of mine from college.

The album is on all platforms, but I'm trying to raise their Spotify Profile.

This is actually a pretty decent song once you get past two things: Playboi Carti's incessant use of auto-tune, and the fact that it appears that Madonna now has a silver grill.

You're a white woman in your 60's. You look good but a grill? Seriously?

It's The Weeknd's song and he shines, as he usually does.

"Popular"

One of the great unrecognized bands of the 1990's was Jawbox. I absolutely loved that band. I use their song "Savory" as my ringtone for important calls - that is not a song you can ignore.

Their lead singer/guitarist J. Robbins has a new solo album out, which I'm now giving a 2nd listen to today. This is fantastic stuff.

As funny as it would be to have my last post about the small earthquake we had Friday up there as the last thing I said for a while, I instead am listening to the new J Mascis album.

I'm happy with this.

Taylor Swift and New Album - Blog #5

I'm doing two topics this blog. Taylor Swift is not appearing on my next album.

I have been a songwriter for 45 years. I can still remember bits and pieces of my early jazz pieces, but when I was fifteen years of age I actually wrote a song about a girl who had broken up with me...
