What Are You Listening To? - Jerome - 14-02-2013

MARK KNOPFLER "the ragpicker's dream" cd,2002.
not sure who recommended this one to me(jerome or tiggi maybe??)....
loved Dire Straits immensely, but this is the first and only Knopfler solo recording i own....
and it is great stuff, bits of blues,bit folky in places and country also...
pretty hard so say much more about it than that,only that everything i have ever heard him put down on tape has been "awesome as f##k"(oh wait thats a green day thing, must still have them guys on my mind LOL), seriously though, this is a great collection of songs from one of the best songwriters of the last 35 years IMO...oh, except for that dumbass track called 'quality shoe', which is about shoes, all sorts of shoes,shiny shoes,old shoes,newly buffed up shoes,steel capped shoes, maybe Mark is related to Imelda Marcos????
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
worst track: quality shoes
best track: old pigweed
tracks:
1. way aye man ***

Brilliant album. I have all his solo stuff and this one is my favourite (apart from the instrumental 'Screenplaying' which is 10/10). This is almost a concept album in that most of it deals with the working men of Northumberland who travelled abroad to find work. The 'Shoes' track refers to the one status symbol they had, which was a good pair of shoes to woo the ladies on payday night. (You know what women are like when it comes to shoes...........)

The other Mark Knopfler album you should get - http://youtu.be/OrLdKYRBOEE
The other great album is his collaboration with Chet Atkins called 'Neck and Neck'. http://youtu.be/tIKt_WQHia8

Must be brothers day. Just posted the Righteous Brothers single in the classics thread and now
I have the Statler Brothers for this one. This is their eighth album and charted lower than the
previous seven, coming in at #36 on the country side. The title track was the lone charting
single at a weak #31. Two love tracks for me and nothing I don't like. Another song on here I
love, but not by these guys is Margie's At The Lincoln Park Inn. A Tom T. Hall classic that
both he and Bobby Bare make theirs. The version on here is a little faster and just doesn't sit
right with me. The album is another nice one by the brothers.

Back to the new stack. Seems I've been on a run of country albums lately. That's just the way
they come up people. Apologies to all the country haters. Was expecting a little more from this
album. The early work is supposed to be the best to me. This is George's second album. It would
be the next one that began his string of eight consecutive #1 country albums. He has had twenty
in his career. Not sure if anyone matches that. And he has always maintained his country sound.
Can't say that for today's modern country crowd. This one topped out at #18 and eventually hit
the platinum status which became a standard for a George Strait album. It does contain his
first #1 single with Fool Hearted memory and another #1 with my favorite, A Fire I Can't Put
Out. Bottom line though, is there is nothing I love on this album and two I didn't care for at
all, making it a sub-par George Strait album for me.

JERRY LEE LEWIS "southern roots/boogie woogie country man" cd.
a twin pack by The Killer...
this one is the "southern roots" album originally released in 1973(the other one follows next....)
some good country sounds on here, a few covers also, i like the autobigraphical tracks best on his country albums best of all...
not to keen on the fact that Jeery Lee "the self proclaimed king of rock and roll" Lewis reffers to himself in the 'third person' on his songs, i find that annoying at times, but other than that this isnt a bad album, i just wish that there wasnt as much 'filler' on these two albums
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
