Melody Gardot is a great way to end the evening.

Acoustic Sounds reissue.

Sublime

 

I really miss their download store...

[AudioDoctor]

Qobuz haz this at 24/192, but sadly it's not the entire set. Qobuz has the entire set, but only at CD res.

 

A 4 CD set in 24/192, or even DSD, would be a very large group of files, but I know I would certainly pay for them to have this music in the highest res possible.

I bought the Neil Young Harvest 50th Anniversary Edition Box Set and finally got around to ripping it tonight, along with the two DVDs. The Mac Studio Ultra rips DVDs like its on a mission as well.

 

Anyway, this is tonights listen.

One of my favorite albums ever. What are your thoughts on the box set?

Well, I haven't listened to every version of Harvest out there, but this one sounded pretty good to me. The extra stuff is probably what makes the set worthwhile if a person wanted to buy it. Disc 2 is a live concert recording, and Disc 3 is outtakes. The DVDs are interesting, one is the same concert I think and the other is a movie about the album.

The music is on Qobuz if you wanted to give it a listen.

apparently, this was mastered from the master tapes...  

[AudioDoctor]

I am becoming a fan of Fazil Say's playing, this is another great example.

 

 

[AudioDoctor]

Much like Melanie De Blasio's other albums, Lilies is fantastic.

in 1959 you needed a catholic priest and the star spangled banner to start a jazz concert...

 

 

[AudioDoctor]

Nashville Skyline

Sometimes the music is so good you end up listening to The Black Keys till the wee hours of the morning.

On this day in 1975, T-Bone Walker passed away.

This was more akin to albums of the afternoon and evening, but I listened to the entire Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis Cookbook box set today. Circled in red.

I made it to Closing Time, quite possibly my favorite Tom Waits album, with my favorite song, Old Shoes (&Picture Postcards)

This was true when he wrote the songs, and will be true 50 years from now. 🙂 About how many other people can we say this? Not many. Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Mahler, and their modern analogues don't come around very often.

 

Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, and likely others I am forgetting right now

For that matter, how often do you hear ANYTHING resembling quality music on the radio?

I only listen to Minnesota Public Radio... never commercial radio so I have no idea what others are hearing.

I love 'em both, but how often do you hear them on radio now, let alone 60 years down the road, like the Beatles and Dylan? Seems like a topic for its own thread....

 

They should be played in my humble opinion, but you'll more likely hear a cover.

Paired well with a glass of Macallan 18.

 

 

[AudioDoctor]

Continuing the evening and the bottle of Macallan 18 with Thelonius Monk. Disc 2 is queued up as I type.

 

[AudioDoctor]

And disc two to end the evening.
