Happy Friday, all. In session, a Rodney Strong Cab poured, fake fireplace and star projector ablaze! Gonna be a fun night. Starting with a little Croz.
Back on the Radiance this evening. They just keep getting better. I’m also enjoying the new pairing.
AMHD > Douk U2 Pro > Schiit Bifrost 2 > Singxer SA-1 Pre > SMSL SP200 > Focal Radiance
And in the spirit of Funky Friday, I crashed into this one. Something different for me for sure, but I am having fun with it. There is a heavy throwback vibe to this! Oh, this lady can sing a little bit, too. Nice tone and style.
Been listening to Pompeii by Cate Le Bon again recently. Such hauntingly beautiful vocals and instrumentation.
Ok, she lost to little mix, but this was and still is a killer performance.
Just plain fun!

Ok, while I’m reminiscing, lol.

Newest release
I watched an interview of Bruce Robb at Cherokee Studio now a couple of times, which led me to Jeff Back’s Wired, of 1976. I must say it is a great sounding instrumental recording. My only complaint is Bruce could have mixed the kick drum a a db & a half to couple of db hotter & it would sound even better. The rest of the kit sounds fantastic, especially given its from 1976. I don’t know who played the drums on the album, but I might guess Steve Gadd? I’ve only heard one other Jeff Back album & it was from the mid or late 80s, maybe early 90s. This album from 76 sounds a lot like it. Very Jeff Beck. Wired is on repeat now, AMHD, for the 3rd or 4th go. Really lovely music. Jazz Rock Fusion I guess it is.
