Just thought of a few more that I like...Marcus King bandJD McPhersonLow Cut Connie
I’m a big fan of American folk singer Slaid Cleaves. Out of Austin, previously from Maine.
Well - this is the kind of question that would happen only on Wild Guzzi!At the Michigan Rally last year - we started talking music and it turned out there were a few of us that are hardcore Jazz fans - we discussed Wes Montgomery, Jim Hall, Sonny Rollins, et al. All great Jazz artists from the 60s. And I think I saw another one already on this thread in Dave Brubeck!Well - Jazz ran headlong into Jazz Fusion in the late 60's, and I'm not talking Kenny G. I'm talking Miles Davis' groundbreaking record Bitches Brew. Featuring: Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock, Jack DeJohnette, Dave Holland, Wayne Shorter, John McGlaughlin etc. The electrification of jazz, which then led to groups like Weather Report, Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra.
of course all you old weirdos like Zappa, some of the worst music ever produced!!I once worked for a chef who, when he was in a bad mood or angry with the staff, he would punish us by playing a frank zappa CD on repeat for upwards of 8hrs straight... it was torturousThen two guys said they really dug Zappa, so he switched to playing the Deliverance Soundtrack on repeat..... dueling banjos all day will drive you insane...Of course no one was brave enough to turn it off or change it, that was a scary dude!That would have made me get real ignorant. I don't like Frank's music either but there is one song, Willie The Pimp, that is somehow really good. I linked it on a post a couple lines back. as a kid I bought a Hot Rats album because I liked the artwork on the album cover
You know the relationship between Zappa and Steve Vai, right?Steve began transcribing Zappa music when he was 18. Frank was in New York and asked Steve to come to his hotel and talk about doing more transcription work. When Steve showed up, Frank took a look at this skinny 18-year old, with tattoos, an earring, black leather coat and says "You're Steve Vai???"Then a couple of years later, there was the audition... https://youtu.be/Xx1RguHA4XEReally an unbelievable musician (both Frankjdg
